A locking pivot member for mounting on a first member and which releasably holds a second member in a coupled pivotal relation thereto. The locking pivot includes a generally cylindrical body portion which is elongated along an axis from a free end portion to a mounted end portion which is secured to the first member. The cylindrical body is further provided with a radially and inwardly extending peripheral groove at a distance spaced axially towards the free end portion and from the first member. A continuous O-ring made of plastic rubber, teflon or other resiliently deformable material is positioned in the peripheral groove. The O-ring is formed having an inner diameter approximately equal to that of the innermost diameter of the radial groove, and an outer diameter greater than that of the remainder of the cylindrical body. The pivot is inserted through an opening in the second member which has a diameter marginally greater than the diameter of the cylindrical body, but which is less than the outermost diameter of the O-ring. When coupled, the cylindrical body extends through the opening so that the second member is pivotable about the axis of the pivot but which is retained against withdrawal by engagement with the O-ring.

Pivot verrouillable pouvant être monté sur un premier élément et soutenant de façon non permanente un deuxième élément auquel il est couplé par liaison pivotante. Ce pivot verrouillable présente un corps généralement cylindrique le long d'un axe allant d'une extrémité libre à une extrémité assujettie au premier élément. Ce corps cylindrique présente également une rainure sur son pourtour interne, à une certaine distance axiale en direction de l'extrémité libre à partir du premier élément. Un joint torique continu en caoutchouc, en plastique, en téflon ou en un autre matériau déformable par élasticité est placé dans cette rainure périphérique. Le joint torique en question est d'un diamètre interne à peu près égal à celui du diamètre le plus profond de la rainure radiale, son diamètre extérieur étant supérieur à celui du reste du corps cylindrique. On insère le pivot dans une ouverture du deuxième élément dont le diamètre est légèrement supérieur à celui du corps cylindrique tout en étant inférieur à celui du diamètre le plus extérieur du joint torique. Lorsqu'il est couplé, le corps cylindrique passe par l'ouverture pour que le deuxième élément puisse pivoter autour de l'axe du pivot, mais il est retenu pour rester en prise avec le joint torique.
