Abstract

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.
