Claim Text:
1. A resilient joint member for a shaft arrangement for the articulated connection of two shaft sections, comprising: a plurality of bushings which are arranged at predetermined angular intervals in a peripheral direction in relation to a centre axis of the joint member; a plurality of loop bundles, wherein each loop bundle loops around respectively two adjacent bushings and each bushing has at least two loop bundles looped around it; and an elastic sheath in which the loop bundles and the bushings are at least partly embedded, wherein the bushings have an axial tubular section around which there loop the loop bundles that are 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, and wherein the collar element that is arranged at the axial end region is configured to have a support section that runs substantially radially with respect to the tubular section and to have a fixing section that is in contact with the tubular section, wherein the fixing section of the collar element is axially caulked to the tubular section, wherein the axial end region of the tubular section of the bushings is deformed to provide a connection to the fixing section of the collar elements, and wherein a transition between the support section and the fixing section of the collar element is constructed such that it is stepped, with a transition shoulder in the support section.
