Abstract

Perfections introduced in a universal constant velocity, dipper joint, comprising a hollow outer member and an inner member which are formed with pairs of longitudinally extending opposed grooves, torque transmission balls, each of which is housed in and between a pair of said grooves of the inner and outer members, and which are movable along the grooves to allow angular and axial relative movement (doubling) between the members, a ball cage that is located between the inner and outer members. Outer, and which is formed with openings in which the balls are located, and a guide member that is mounted on the inner member or on a member fixed thereto in order to be axially movable with respect to the inner member, having the cage a convex, partially spherical outer surface, which is applied to the surface of a cylindrical bore of the outer member or of a fixed member to it, and a concave, partially spherical inner surface, which is applied to a convex, partially spherical, complementary surface provided in the guide member, the partially spherical surfaces of the cage having centers of curvature that are offset by an equal amount on opposite sides of the center of the joint, along the geometric axis thereof, whereby the cage is operative to help maintain the balls in the bisector plane of the joint in order to provide, therefore, the characteristics of constant velocity relation of the joint, characterized in that the cage is displaceable relative to the outer member, axially relative to the latter, in known manner, and the guide member is movable axially relative to the inner member or said member fixed thereto. A limited extension, to allow the torque transmission balls to roll, instead of skidding, with respect to the surfaces of the grooves the inner and outer members in only part of the allowed relative axial movement of the joint, this part being substantially smaller than the entire allowable relative axial movement range.
