ABSTRACT:
A joint arrangement for connecting a drawbar to a carriage includes a push/pull device for the transmission of pushing and pulling forces arranged at the carriage end of the drawbar. The push/pull device comprises a mid-piece connected to the carriage side end of the drawbar, extending the drawbar in the longitudinal direction thereof which extends through an opening provided in the baseplate. A front spring plate and a rear spring plate are provided on the mid-piece with a front spring element between the front spring plate and the baseplate in the drawbar longitudinal direction and a corresponding rear spring element is provided between the baseplate and the rear spring plate. The front spring element and the rear spring element enclose the mid-piece of the push/pull device with a positive fit in order to guide and support the mid-piece of the push/pull device in the most effective manner possible within the baseplate and are themselves supported in the vertical direction on the baseplate and in particular on a recess region provided in the baseplate.
