Abstract
A joint coupling, in particular for transmitting the motor output in electrically driven rail vehicles to a drive axle, includes a hollow shaft which is provided on a frame or bogie, and the drive axle is enclosed by the hollow shaft and is arranged radially movably with respect thereto. Each of two linkage elements are hingedly connected both to a first flange member which is rigidly connected to the hollow shaft and also to a second flange member which is connected rigidly to the drive axle. The linkage elements are each with their free ends hingedly connected to an intermediate member which surrounds the drive axle and is radially movable with respect thereto. The intermediate member is divided into two halves in a direction transversely to its axis and the axis of the drive axle, which halves are connected releasably to one another.
