Abstract
A Universal joint comprising two joint coupling parts (1, 2) adapted to transmit rotary torque at a universal angle position of the two joint coupling parts (1, 2) thereby each of the two joint coupling parts are formed with a torque like claw the arms (5) of which are axially rotated in relation to each other so as to engage each other over an intermediate coupling means comprising four coupling parts (9-12), which cooperate with the claw arms, and which by a predetermined force (17-20) are constantly pressed towards for from each other and to the sides of the claw arms (5) whereby any play depending on where is automatically eliminated.
