Patent ID: 8517844

Claim:
A torque transmitting device for transmitting torques between two shaft sections of a shaft arrangement by way of an articulated arrangement, wherein the articulated arrangement is designed to compensate for an angular offset between the shaft sections, the torque transmitting device comprising: a vibration damping unit for damping torsional vibrations, said unit having at least two transmission parts, wherein one of the transmission parts is assigned to one of the shaft sections and the other transmission part is assigned to the articulated arrangement, and wherein the transmission parts each have segment formations with radial segment sections, which interact in a torque-transmitting manner with one another in a transmission area, wherein at least one damper arrangement that is substantially subject to compressive stress is provided between neighbouring segment sections in the transmission area, wherein two neighbouring radial segment sections, of which one is assigned to the one transmission part and the other segment section is assigned to the other transmission part, are connected to one another, and wherein the neighbouring segment sections are connected in pairs by means of at least one deformable loop.
