A shaft, in particular a drive shaft, for transferring torques, includes a basic member made of an elastic first material, and connecting pieces shaped at their ends for being received by the basic member and prevented by positive engagement from rotating and displacing axially relative to the basic member. The connecting pieces are made of a second material which is inelastic or less-elastic than the first material or. The first and second materials are plastics which are crosslinked with one another at interfaces of the basic member and the connecting parts. The shaft is reliably functional while having a compact design.

1. A shaft for transferring torques comprising: a first member including an elastic first plastic material, the first member defining an axial and a radial direction; and a first connecting piece and a second connecting piece, each of the first and second connecting pieces having a respective end shaped for reception by the first member, the first and second connecting pieces positively engaging the first member so as to prevent rotation and axial displacement relative to the first member, the first and second connecting pieces including a second plastic material, the second plastic material being inelastic or less elastic than the first plastic material, the first plastic material and the second plastic material included in the first connecting piece being crosslinked with one another at a first interface between the first member and the first connecting piece, the first plastic material and the second plastic material included in the second connecting piece being crosslinked with one another at a second interface between the first member and the second connecting piece; wherein each of the first and second connecting pieces includes a respective cup opening in a respective axially outward direction and a respective mushroom head formed thereon at the respective end, each cup including a respective closed bottom and a respective side, and wherein each of the first and second connecting pieces defines a respective constriction disposed between the respective mushroom head and the respective cup, each respective constriction disposed axially inside the respective closed bottom and projecting in a respective radially inward direction inside the respective side.
