<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a constant velocity joint capable of imparting a bending angle to two connected transmission shafts, when a transmission member abuts on the bottom of an end wall due to application of a load in a shaft direction, and the propeller shaft of an automobile including the constant velocity joint, capable of generating breakage of the propeller shaft near the constant velocity joint. <P>SOLUTION: In the constant velocity joint 2 including an outer ring member 16 connected to a first propeller shaft 3, and a power transmission member 17 connected to a second propeller shaft 4, a striking section 26 is provided at least at one side of an edge wall 15 and a power transmission member 17 at a position shifted from an axial center O, and when the load in the shaft direction is applied and the end wall 15 and the power transmission member 17 abuts on each other via the striking section 26, rotating force around a direction orthogonal to the axial center O is generated at least one of the outer ring member 16 and the power transmission member 17. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
