Abstract
An elastic joint body for the articulated connection of two shaft sections includes a plurality of bushings arranged in the circumferential direction in predetermined angular intervals with respect to a center axis of the joint body, a plurality of loop packets wrapping around two adjacent bushings each, and a rubber-elastic casing at least partially embedding the loop packets and the bushings. In order to prolong the service life of such a joint body and to avoid undesired frictional effects between adjacent loop packets, one support arrangement is at least partially embedded in the rubber-elastic casing, with the support arrangement supporting at least part of a loop packet between adjacent bushings.
