Abstract
A constant angular velocity joint for the transmission of rotational movements between two shafts includes a pair of driving members, each coupled to a shaft, one driving member having a plurality of generally equally spaced pivot means connected obliquely thereto so as to overlie the driving member, the other driving member being generally cylindrical and having a converging portion extending therefrom with a plurality of open ended, generally radial spaced slots therein, the spacing of which corresponds to the spacing of the pivot means. Each pivot means is received in one of said slots for relative movement with respect thereto depending on the angular position of said driving means.
