Abstract
A double-jointed coupling includes a carrier ring with an internal tooth arrangement, a hollow pinion shaft connected to the internal tooth arrangement of the carrier ring, and an intermediate shaft with a coupling tooth arrangement for engagement in the internal tooth arrangement. The coupling tooth arrangement is constructed on the intermediate shaft such as to enable passage of the intermediate shaft through the hollow pinion shaft for passage through the hollow pinion shaft. A thrust ring is arranged on the intermediate shaft in a region of the coupling tooth arrangement and constructed for passage through the hollow pinion shaft.
