Abstract
Therein is disclosed a method for assembling a uniform-speed joint having an inner rotary body and an outer rotary body which transmits a rotational force from one to the other through a plurality of small spheres in receiving holes on the disposed outer peripheral surface of said inner rotary body and including a pair of small spheres diametrically facing each other where the intersecting angle between the rotation axes of said inner rotary body and said outer rotary body is variable and the rotational speed is not changed. The method comprising the steps of: PA0 (a) fitting said small spheres into a diametrically opposed pair of said small-sphere receiving holes in said inner rotary body; PA0 (b) fitting said inner rotary body into said outer rotary body while maintaining the rotation axis of said inner rotary body perpendicular to the rotational axis of said outer rotary body with no interference between said pair of small spheres and the edge of said outer rotary body; PA0 (c) bring the rotation axes of said inner rotary body and said outer rotary body into coincidence with each other; and PA0 (d) swinging said inner rotary body relative to said outer rotary body about the diam…
