Abstract

An elastic shaft coupling, especially a cardan shaft coupling for motor vehicles, which is equipped with a disk-shaped elastic base body, in which are arranged about the center axis of the base body an even number of connecting elements having parallel axes; of these connecting elements, successive ones are coordinated to opposite sides and are connected by way of at least one band loop that is supported on at least one of the respective connecting elements by way of an elastic intermediate member.
