A rolling joint mechanism consisting of three parts which translates an angular input motion into an output motion of a different form. The parts, comprised of an input member, an output member and a frame, engage each other at specific points along contact surfaces and the points of contact of the three parts are all in a straight line. In addition, substantially pure rolling motion takes place at the engaging surfaces so that the mechanism is substantially free of sliding friction. Finally, the mechanism has the feature that the rolling surfaces may be reshaped so as to allow the mechanism to produce a variety of output motions for a given input motion.
