Common types of joints include the dovetail, used for interlocking two flat members at right angles, as in the sides of a drawer; the doweled joint, in which doweling is employed for mechanical strength; and the mortise and tenon, in which a projecting piece fits into a groove, used to join a horizontal member with the vertical member of a frame
universal joints
(Otomotiv) Couplings located at either end of the driveshaft on a rearwheel drive vehicle that allow the shaft to move freely, without affecting the more rigid transmission shaft, and to absorb the movement of the axle and wheels. Also called U-joints. On cars with transverse engines, these are called constant velocity joints
