Abstract
A middle hoop system for a vehicle joint is arranged between a vehicle front part and a vehicle rear part of a vehicle. The middle hoop forms a passage between the vehicle front part and the vehicle rear part, the middle hoop surrounding the passage. A cable which is arranged above the passage extends along a curved path between the vehicle front part and the vehicle rear part. A bearing is provided between the cable and the middle hoop. The bearing has a guide surface permitting a relative movement in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle between the cable and the middle hoop. The cable is subject to a smaller load by the middle hoop system.
