Abstract: A constant velocity joint includes a first joint member having a plurality of guide rails that are parallel to one another and to a central axis of the first joint member. A second joint member includes a spider encaged by the guide rails and carrying slide couplings which are captured by but slideable axially on the guide rails and spider as well as being pivotal relative to the spider to facilitate angulation of the joint as well as axial translation during the transmission of torque between two rotatable shafts coupled to the respective first and second joint members.

Abstract: A constant velocity joint assembly comprises outer and inner joint members having engaging contact surfaces which support the joint for articulation about a common center point. The joint members have ball grooves which diverge inwardly of the joint and whose inner and outer ball groove surfaces are axially offset with respect to the center point for urging the balls axially inwardly. A ball retainer is provided within the outer joint member. The ball retainer is spring-biased into engagement with an end of the inner joint member and pivots about the center point of the joint to engage and hold the balls within the ball grooves, maintaining them in a common plane.

Abstract: A compact constant velocity joint includes outer and inner joint members having surfaces to provide articulation of the joint. The surfaces are formed with aligned grooves to receive torque-transmitting balls. A ball retainer is provided axially adjacent the balls, adjacent an open end of the outer joint member to retain the balls in the grooves during operation. The ball retainer articulates on the same center point as that of the outer and inner joint members.

Abstract: A constant velocity joint includes outer and inner races with mating part-spherical surfaces in which a single functional set of ball grooves are formed bearing a single torque-transmitting ball which is urged under an applied torque load toward one axial end of the joint. A retainer is carried by one of the two races or the shafts to which they are connected and acts on the ball to maintain the ball within the grooves during all angles of the joint.

Abstract: A constant velocity joint includes a rotatable wheel hub for mounting a wheel of a vehicle which serves as the outer race of the joint. The hub is formed with a through bore that includes a part spherical surface at an inboard end of the hub. An inner joint is installed through the open outboard end and is formed with a plurality of ball grooves whose centers are offset with respect to the center of the joint, forcing balls within the grooves toward the installation end of the hub. A ball retainer device is disposed in the wheel hub bore to retain the balls and seal the joint.

Abstract: A constant velocity joint has an outer race, cage, and inner race where the opening of the cage is sized to be equal to or greater than the minimum projected height of the inner race to allow the inner race to transitionally slide through the opening and rotate within the cage to be installed therein. The lobes of the inner race are thicker than the length of the windows of the cage. All the windows have the same length.
