Abstract
A middle hoop system for a vehicle joint arranged between a vehicle front part and a vehicle rear part of a vehicle and forms a passage between the vehicle front part and the vehicle rear part. The middle hoop surrounds the passage. The middle hoop system comprises a cable strand which extends between the vehicle front part and the vehicle rear part, wherein the cable strand is arranged above the passage. The middle hoop system comprises a pivot lever between the middle hoop and the cable strand. A first pivot joint is formed between the pivot lever and the middle hoop. In a preferred embodiment, the pivot lever guides the cable strand at a distance from the first pivot joint. The middle hoop system is cost-effective and provides reliable guidance for the cable strand.
