Patent number: 8834280Abstract: An elastic joint body for a shaft arrangement for connecting two shaft portions in an articulated manner includes a plurality of bushings, a primary loop bundle, a support device, and an elastomeric casing. The primary loop bundle loops a bushing pair consisting of two adjacent bushings. The bushing pair being loadable in tension in the event of a torque transfer via the shaft portions. The support device is arranged on at least one bushing for axially guiding the primary loop bundle. The loop bundle, the support devices, and the bushings are at least partly embedded into the elastomeric casing. The adjacent bushings of at least some of the bushing pairs are connected to each other in a force-transmitting manner via at least one additional loop bundle, the at least one additional bundle being arranged in the elastomeric casing in a region in which none of the primary loop bundles extend.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2012Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: SGF Sueddeutsche Gelenkscheibenfabrik GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 8771089Abstract: An elastic joint body for a shaft arrangement for the articulated connection of two shaft sections includes a plurality of bushings disposed in the circumferential direction at predetermined angular distances relative to a central axis of the joint body, a plurality of loop bundles, and a rubber elastic casing. Each loop bundle loops around two adjacent bushings and each bushing is looped by at least two of the plurality of loop bundles. Each of the plurality of bushings is provided with a plurality of bushing components. A first bushing component has an axial shaft section against which one of the loop bundles rests and wherein a second bushing component has a radial collar section against which the loop bundle rests. The first bushing component rests, without fixing, against the second bushing component in a contact zone offset relative to the loop bundle in the axial direction.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2011Date of Patent: July 8, 2014Assignee: SGF Sueddeutsche Gelenkscheibenfabrik GmbH & Co.
