The present invention provides a pivoting joint that has two stable positions. The pivoting joint is comprised of two housing elements that can rotate coaxially with respect to one another. A spring (5), generally in the shape of a modified hairpin, is contained within the two housing elements. The two ends of the spring fit into holes in one housing element (3), and the closed end of the spring is held, substantially irrotatably, in the other housing element (1). The spring (5) urges the two housing elements to one or the other rotational extreme with respect to one another.
La présente invention concerne un joint pivotant présentant deux positions stables. Le joint pivotant comprend deux éléments de logement pouvant tourner coaxialement l'un par rapport à l'autre. Un ressort (5), généralement en forme d'épingle à cheveux modifiée, se trouve à l'intérieur des deux éléments de logement. Les deux extrémités du ressort sont logées dans des trous situés dans un élément de logement (3), et l'extrémité fermée du ressort est retenue, de manière sensiblement non rotative, dans l'autre élément de logement (1). Le ressort (5) pousse les deux éléments de logement vers l'une ou l'autre extrémité rotative l'un par rapport à l'autre.
