Abstract

A universal joint (1) has two joint yokes (2 and 3) each including two yoke arms (4 and 5). A supporting member (8) including legs (9 and 10) is arranged to extend transversely relative to the rotational axis (D) of the joint yokes (2, 3). The connection of the two joint yokes (2 and 3) is effected through yoke arm through-bores (6 and 7) and the support member bores (11 and 12) via a bearing pin (13).
