semi-circular fork is pin-connected to an intermediate link, and ordinarily this intermediate link is a right angle cross. Instead of having a right angle cross, I pursued to give various different crosses to the joint, studying them kinematically. In this paper the following three cases are discussed : (1) the arms of the cross are different in length ; (2) the angle of the cross is different from right angle ; (3) the four pins of the cross do not lie in one plane. The results of each case mentioned are below. In the first case, the angular velocity ratio between two shafts is exactly the same as in the common universal joint used in practice ; in the second, the fluctuation of angular velocity ratio increases a little ; in the third, smooth transmission can not be obtained., Article, 信州大學紀要 (2): 109-112(1952)}, pages = {109--112}, title = {ユニバーサル・ジョイントについて}, volume = {2}, year = {1952} }
