A sliding type tripod constant velocity joint comprising: an outer ring of a tubular form having three raceway grooves which are formed on an inner peripheral surface and which extend in a direction of a rotation axis of the outer ring; a tripod including a boss part connected to a shaft and three tripod shaft parts which are provided upright so as to extend outward in a radial direction of the boss part from an outer peripheral surface of the boss part and which are inserted into the raceway grooves, respectively; a pair of intermediate members which are arranged so as to sandwich a corresponding one of the tripod shaft parts from both sides of side surfaces of the raceway grooves and which are provided so as to be oscillated relative to the corresponding one of the tripod shaft parts; a plurality of rolling elements provided between the side surfaces of a corresponding one of the raceway grooves and power transmission surfaces of the pair of intermediate members opposing the side surfaces to the corresponding one of the raceway grooves so as to roll along the side surfaces of the corresponding one of the raceway grooves; and a cage that supports the rolling elements such that the rolling elements circulate on outer peripheries of the pair of intermediate members, characterized in that the cage includes: a pair of circulating path forming members (61, 62) that form a circulating path of the rolling elements; and a pair of connecting parts (63, 64); the pair of circulating path forming members (61, 62) have such forms as to surround the pair of intermediate members; the pair of intermediate members are regulated in an axial direction of the outer ring by the cage; a gap is formed between the pair of intermediate members; the cage is disposed so as to circulate the rolling elements from one intermediate member of the pair of intermediate members to another intermediate member of the pair of intermediate members across the gap formed between the pair of intermediate members, and the rolling elements are circulated so as to not contact either of the pair of intermediate members while being circulated across a portion of the gap. an outer ring of a tubular form having three raceway grooves which are formed on an inner peripheral surface and which extend in a direction of a rotation axis of the outer ring; a tripod including a boss part connected to a shaft and three tripod shaft parts which are provided upright so as to extend outward in a radial direction of the boss part from an outer peripheral surface of the boss part and which are inserted into the raceway grooves, respectively; a pair of intermediate members which are arranged so as to sandwich a corresponding one of the tripod shaft parts from both sides of side surfaces of the raceway grooves and which are provided so as to be oscillated relative to the corresponding one of the tripod shaft parts; a plurality of rolling elements provided between the side surfaces of a corresponding one of the raceway grooves and power transmission surfaces of the pair of intermediate members opposing the side surfaces to the corresponding one of the raceway grooves so as to roll along the side surfaces of the corresponding one of the raceway grooves; and a cage that supports the rolling elements such that the rolling elements circulate on outer peripheries of the pair of intermediate members, the cage includes: a pair of circulating path forming members (61, 62) that form a circulating path of the rolling elements; and a pair of connecting parts (63, 64); the pair of circulating path forming members (61, 62) have such forms as to surround the pair of intermediate members; the pair of intermediate members are regulated in an axial direction of the outer ring by the cage; a gap is formed between the pair of intermediate members; the cage is disposed so as to circulate the rolling elements from one intermediate member of the pair of intermediate members to another intermediate member of the pair of intermediate members across the gap formed between the pair of intermediate members, and the rolling elements are circulated so as to not contact either of the pair of intermediate members while being circulated across a portion of the gap.
