A transmission joint body has an envelope inside which are provided bearing paths for articulation elements of a transmission joint (10). A connection system for the joint body includes a radial flange connected to the envelope. The flange is made at least partially from a material comprising a thermosetting or thermoplastic matrix reinforced with short fibers or with particles. According to a preferred embodiment, the inner space defined radially by the inner peripheral surface of the envelope of the joint body is partially filled with a material comprising a thermosetting or thermoplastic matrix reinforced with short fibers or with particles, and which is extended outside the envelope through one axial end of the latter in order to form the flange.

Transmission joint body of the type comprising a connecting flange

A body of a transmission joint includes bearing passageways arranged along the axis of the body and each including two confronting parallel raceways. The raceways are in the form of at least one metal insert. The inner space defined between the inner peripheral surface of the composite case and surfaces of the confronting raceways is filled with a composite organic filler material.
