Good quesion!
My understanding of an "invalute" is that it is the profile that is swept out by one end of a circular segment as it is straightened out. It is typically used in gear design as the invalute profile for a gear tooth ensures that the pressure angles, and thus the transmitted torque remains constant as each tooth meshes
