  • The paper study the curvature theory of a line-trajectory of constant Disteli-axis, according to the invariants of the axodes of moving body in spatial motion. A necessary and sufficient condition for a line-trajectory to be a constant Disteli-axis is derived. From which new proofs of the Disteli's formulae and concise explicit expressions of the inflection line congruence are directly obtained. The obtained explicit equations degenerate into a quadratic form, which can easily give a clear insight into the geometric properties of a line-trajectory of constant Disteli-axis with the theory of line congruence. The degenerated cases of the Burmester lines are discussed according to dual points having specific trajectories.
