Abstract

Two pin joints, each mounted at a respective end of a coupling rod, each comprise an outer joint head including a cavity which is open at least in one axial direction as well as a diametral bore and an inner joint head disposed in the cavity and likewise including a diametral bore. A pin extends through both bores and is locked at the outer joint head by a pin retaining device. To accomplish that, the pin has two ends projecting radially out of the outer joint head and each formed with a notch transversely of the longitudinal direction of the pin. The pin retaining device is embodied by a helical spring supported at its one end in the two notches of the pin and at its other end on a shoulder. The shoulder preferably is formed at a sliding ring seal which seals the outer joint head against a housing member.
