ABSTRACT:
Articulated transmission joint (10) of the slidable type comprising a transmission joint body (12) and a tripod element (14) having three radial arms (16) each of which arms is slidable between two planar surface portions (36) through the medium of two articulation elements (18) which are pivotally mounted on a spherical trunnion (21) of the tripod element (14), each articulation element (18) defining a planar surface (20) which is cooperative with one of the planar surface portions (36). The joint body (12) comprises three bearing ways each comprising two tracks (38) each of which tracks is constituted by a member defining a planar surface portion (36) and a convex cylindrical surface portion (40) which is cooperative with a complementary concave cylindrical bearing surface (42) formed in the joint body (12).
