Abstract

A resilient joint member for a shaft arrangement is provided including a plurality of bushings arranged at predetermined angular intervals in the peripheral direction in relation to a center axis of the joint member, a plurality of loop bundles which loop around respectively two adjacent bushings, each bushing has at least two loop bundles looped around it, an elastic sheath in which the loop bundles and the bushings are at least partly embedded. The bushings have an axial tubular section around which there loop the loop bundles associated with the bushing and on which, at least at an axial end region. A collar element is arranged for axial support of one of the loop bundles at the axial end region and includes a support section that runs substantially radially with respect to the tubular section, and a fixing section is in contact with the tubular section.
