Problems solved by technology

[0011] From EP-A-0 886 712 a frame hinge is also known, the moving and fixed elements of which are connected by an elastic link, by means of which the moving element can be moved within a fixed range can move on any plane in between, and can even pivot on their own: while these hinges undoubtedly appeal to people's hearts, they are difficult to manufacture and miniaturize, and their relative fragility is severely tested by users. These users like to fiddle with the side

Embodiment Construction

[0047] figure 1 The principle on which the invention is based is shown by way of example.

[0048] In this figure the hooks 1 can be seen sliding into the rings 2 , one in the plane of the drawing and the other in a plane perpendicular to said paper.

[0049]Ring 2 is pivotable on hook 1 about point P2, which remains in the plane of the drawing. In doing so, for example, ring 2 transitions to position 2' or 2", point P2 terminating at P2' and P2", respectively. The movement of the ring 2 is guided by the inner curvature of the hook 1 as long as the ring 2 is kept pressed against the hook 1 . With the same result, hook 1 can pivot on ring 2 about point P1 , while point P1 remains in the plane of the drawing.

[0050] Alternatively, the ring 2 can pivot on the hook 1 in a series of planes perpendicular to the plane of the drawing, and through the various possible positions previously occupied by the point P2, such as P2' and P2", the displacement of the hook 1 is determined b...

Abstract

The system has a rotation point between an end (1) of a fixed rigid unit and an end (2) of a mobile rigid unit. The ends of the rigid unit show support surfaces capable to pair themselves respectively one on the other. An elastic unit is arranged to maintain the support between the surfaces. Rotation points (P1, P2) are movable in two orthogonal planes within the limits allowed by a guiding unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an articulation system, in particular for devices and eyeglass frames in robotics. [0002] More precisely, the invention relates to an articulation system of the type between one end of a first rigid element and one end of a second rigid element, said ends having bearing surfaces adapted to be located one above the other. The upper surfaces are mated in pairs respectively, and resilient means are arranged to maintain bearing contact between said surfaces. Background technique [0003] The majority of devices used in robotics (walking robots, modular robots, manufacturing robots, medical robots, microrobots, etc.) . This articulated joint allows the device to perform multiple actions and displacements in an extensible space. But, in essence, the mechanism of these joints is unstable or monostable in the stop position, and it follows that the device is always activated once its stop position is no longer applicable. Its actu...
