Abstract
The invention relates to a middle hoop system for a vehicle joint. The vehicle joint is arranged between a vehicle front part and a vehicle rear part of an articulated vehicle, such as for example of an articulated bus, and forms a passage () between the vehicle front part and the vehicle rear part. The middle hoop system comprises a middle hoop () and a cable guide between the vehicle front part and the vehicle rear part. The middle hoop () surrounds the passage (). The cable guide is arranged above the passage (). According to the invention, for the cable guide, a leaf spring () is provided which extends from the vehicle front part to the vehicle rear part. By means of the leaf spring, cables () can be guided between the vehicle front part and the vehicle rear part over the entire length of the leaf spring (). Undefined movements of the cables when the vehicle front part and the vehicle rear part move relative to one another are eliminated.
