Abstract
A joint device () having an axially extending pivot pin (), in particular a so-termed claw, and an elastically deformable layer () that wholly or partially surrounds the pivot pin radially. The deformable layer is at least partially in contact on its radially outer side () with a housing () and is connected, such as by vulcanization at least at one axial end, with an annular body (). The pivot pin () with the elastically deformable layer () and the at least one annular body () form a joint body () which can move relative to the housing () and is designed, in such a manner, that the ability of the joint body () to rotate about its longitudinal axis () is inhibited by a rotation-impeding device () and by the contact of the outside () of the elastically deformable layer () against the housing.
