Abstract In this work we are mainly concerned with the study of special 2-parameter envelopes M n (n≥ 4) of n-spheres in a simply connected space form Q c n+1 (c = 0, 1 or −1) which satisfy the Weingarten relation A + BH + CK = 0 between the mean curvature H and the Gauss–Kronecker curvature K of the immersion x : M n → Q c n+1 , where A, B and C are real constants; such a relation includes the case H constant.
