Patent ID: 7425103

Claim:
A joint arrangement comprising: first and second components (T 1 , T 2 ) that are adjacent to one another along, and movable relative to one another about, respective longitudinal sides (L 1 , L 2 ) of the first and second components facing toward one another to form a joint therebetween; at least two cooperating bands ( 11 , 12 ; 33 , 33 a , 33 b ; 34 , 34 a , 34 b ), which are secured with respective first ends (E 1 ) of the bands respectively on sides of the first component (T 1 ) oriented opposite one another and with respective second ends (E 2 ) of the bands respectively on sides of the second component (T 2 ) oriented opposite one another as well as opposite to the respective sides of the first component, wherein the bands ( 11 , 12 ; 33 , 33 a , 33 b ; 34 , 34 a , 34 b ) include first bands ( 11 ; 33 a ) and second bands ( 12 ; 33 b ) that extend opposite one another in respective longitudinal directions thereof at an angle β relative to an axial direction (R 1 ) of the joint, whereby the angle β is greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees for taking up shear forces that are to be transmitted between the first and second components through the bands; at least one pressure element arranged between the longitudinal sides of the first and second components facing toward one another, wherein the at least one pressure element is arranged and adapted to space apart the longitudinal sides of the first and second components and to take-up and transmit pressure forces between the longitudinal sides of the first and second components; and a contact element ( 16 , 17 ) arranged on a side of the pressure element facing toward one component of the first and second components (T 1 , T 2 ).
