Abstract
A connecting rod has a closed bearing at one end for connecting, for exam, a piston bolt to the rod. At the other end the rod has a divided bearing for connecting, for example, a crankpin to the rod. The rod is made of fiber reinforced synthetic materials. The divided bearing is enclosed by an inner and an outer bearing bail and by the free ends of a fiber reinforced loop which surrounds the closed bearing. At the divided bearing end the rod components are interlocked in a dovetail manner. The loop is an open loop and the free ends of the loop legs extend substantially in parallel to the longitudinal axis of the rod.
