ABSTRACT:
Disposed around a universal joint (12), which comprises a first and a second substantially rigid joint body (14, 28), is a rim (40) of loop-shaped flexible coupling elements (42), which are each looped around one first molded piece (50) and one second molded piece (52). The first molded pieces (50) are connected rigidly to a flange (22) on the first joint body (14) and disposed between second molded pieces (52). The second molded pieces (52) are connected firmly to a counter-flange (34), which forms part of a rotational body (62). The latter forms one end of a torque transmission chain, the other end of which is the second joint body (28). The first joint body (14) has a tubular piece (16), which encloses the second joint body (28) and has an outer lateral surface (18) of circular cross section, against which the flexible coupling elements (42) are supported in radial direction.
