A sliding block () is arranged between the articulated head and the tongue (), said block being formed by two sliding bodies (), which have rotational body contours () in two portions, said sliding bodies being arranged rotatably in a rotational body-shaped recess () adjusted to the shape of the sliding bodies () such that they can perform a pivoting motion in the articulated head (). The articulated spindle () is characterized in that the rotational body contours () are designed to be concave or convex and the recess () is designed to be accordingly convex or concave.
