Abstract:
An x-joint configured to transfer rotational movement from a first shaft to a second shaft at an angle and method of manufacturing the same.

Claim (Index 1):
A mechanical joint for transferring rotational motion from a first shaft to a second shaft, comprising:\n a housing comprising an outer casing, a central cavity, a first end and a second end; a first groove comprising a first contact surface, a second groove comprising a second contact surface, the first and second grooves disposed on opposite sides of the central cavity; a first lip comprising a third contact surface at the first end of the housing, the first lip aligned with the first groove; a second lip comprising a fourth contact surface at the first end of the housing, the second lip aligned with the second groove; a drive puck comprising a circular outer perimeter, an outer contact surface, and an inner slot; a drive shaft comprising a first end and a second end, the first end pivotably coupled with the drive puck by a pin, the second end configured to couple with the first shaft; wherein the drive puck is disposed within the first and second grooves, the outer contact surface slidingly engaged with the first and second contact surfaces of the first and second grooves, respectively, the drive puck maintained within the first and second grooves at the first end of the housing by the third and fourth contact surfaces of the first and second lips; and wherein the drive puck rotates within the first and second grooves in a first plane and the drive shaft rotates about the pin in a second plane, the first plane being orthogonal to the second plane.
