  • Patent number: 7867097
    Abstract: A flexible bushing arrangement (30; 30?) has an inner bushing (32; 32?), an outer bushing (34; 34?) which surrounds the inner bushing and delimits an annular space (36; 36?, 36?) therewith, and a resilient connecting body (38; 38) which is arranged in the annular space (36; 36?, 36?) and connects the two bushings (32, 34; 32?, 34?) to each other. In end regions of the annular space (36; 36?, 36?) spacers (40, 42; 40?, 42?) are arranged which allow only limited radial relative movements of the two bushings (32, 34; 32?, 34?) in relation to each other. Each of the spacers (40, 42; 40?, 42?) is constructed in one piece with one of the bushings (32, 34; 32?, 34?) and is arranged in such a way that it may only act on the other bushing (34, 32; 34?, 32?) via the connecting body (38, 38?). Each of the spacers (40, 42) is constructed in the manner of a toothed ring.

  • Patent number: 6315670
    Abstract: A joint body includes at least one loop package and collar bushings each having a bushing member and a first collar formed integrally thereon. The bushing members of the collar bushings are passed through the loop package, and the collars thereof axially support a first loop package side. A second collar axially supports a second loop package side and is axially joined with each bushing member. The collar bushing has at an end of the bushing member remote from the first collar a radial outer catching arrangement. A radial inner catching arrangement is provided on the second collar which forms a snap connection together with the radial outer catching arrangement. The loop package is at least partially embedded in a rubber elastic jacket.

  • Patent number: 5562545
    Abstract: The axis of rotation of a disc body made of rubber-elastic material is surrounded by a plurality of mutually spaced bushings and loop sets consisting of string loops which are wrapped around the bushings in pairs. Supporting rings are slipped axially on the bushings to hold the loop sets together axially. The supporting rings each comprise an annular disc having teeth which project radially inwardly and anchor firmly on the corresponding bushing. In this manner the greatest possible space in axial direction of the bushings is saved for installation of the loop sets, at a given overall thickness of the flexible disc.
