Claim 0:
1. A joint, which has at least three degrees of rotational freedom, comprising:
a rigid carrier element;
a first and a second elastically deformable joint element formed on one end of said carrier element in an overlapping arrangement, at least in sections;
a third and a fourth elastically deformable joint element formed on an opposite end of the one end of said carrier element in an overlapping arrangement, at least in sections, where each of said first, second, third and fourth joint elements includes:
two rod-shaped web portions arranged on said carrier element and extending therefrom which are arranged either converging or diverging relative to each other; and
at their end facing away from said carrier element, a contact portion for connecting the two rod-shaped web portions to each other;
wherein the two rod-shaped web portions connected to each other, of the first joint element, extend in a first common plane, and the two rod-shaped web portions connected to each other, of the second joint element, extend in a second common plane, and the first common plane and the second common plane intersect,
wherein said two rod-shaped web portions of the first joint element, pass, at least in sections, between said two rod-shaped web portions of the second joint element and thereby penetrating the second common plane,
wherein said two rod-shaped web portions of at least one of the first and second joint elements at their end facing toward said carrier element are connected to each other via a fastening portion that is integrally formed with said two rod-shaped web portions, and said at least one of the first and second joint elements is connected to said carrier element via said fastening portion.
