pivot joint

The handles end in flat springs connected with a pivot joint.

So that when the elevator started again, his body swayed easily from the hand that was the pivot joint and up he went.

The pivot joint in your neck allows you to turn your head from side to side.

Hinge and pivot joints can be both considered cylindrical joints.

These knives are standard pivot joint liner lock or frame lock folding knife.

Examples of a pivot joint include:

The elbow is both a hinge and pivot joint that allows a person to bend, extend, and rotate the arm.

Pivot joints, which allow rotation; for example, the joints in the neck allow the head to turn from side to side.

The linkage consists of the frame, a crank, two grounded rockers, and two couplers all connected by pivot joints.

Pantograph (four-bar, two degrees of freedom, i.e., only one pivot joint is fixed.)

In pivot joints, the axis of a convex articular surface is parallel with the longitudinal axis of the bone.

The distal radioulnar articulation is a pivot joint located between the bones of the forearm, the Radius (bone) and ulna.

Pivot joints allow for rotation, which can be external (for example when rotating an arm outward), or internal (as in rotating an arm inward).

A pivot joint (trochoid joint, rotary joint, Lateral Ginglymus) is a type of diarthrosis.

Techniques include placing internal decks on "rafts" that float on springs or flexible pivot joints in order to isolate internal sounds and vibrations from the outer hull.

In contrast, spherical joints (or ball and socket joints) such as the hip joint permit rotation and all other directional movement, while pivot joints only permit rotation.

This pivot joint consists of a forward facing, wedge-shaped process called the zygosphene, that fits in a depression on the frontside of the next vertebrae, called the zygantrum.

The pivot joint connecting the neck to the torso was also very loose fitting, so that if it were accidentally knocked out of place or removed, there was no known way to put it back on.

These equations mathematically model the behaviour of a limb in terms of a knowledge domain-independent, link-segment model, such as idealized solids of revolution or a skeleton with fixed-length limbs and perfect pivot joints.

The joints between bones permit movement, some allowing a wider range of movement than others, e.g. the ball and socket joint allows a greater range of movement than the pivot joint at the neck.

If you have pieces that fold up or that have wheels, spray each bearing, pivot joint and moving or sliding part with a light film of silicone lubricant or a lubricating spray that contains Teflon.

The proximal radioulnar articulation (superior radioulnar joint) is a trochoid or pivot joint between the circumference of the head of the radius and the ring formed by the radial notch of the ulna and the annular ligament.

With designs like a 1963 inflatable plastic stool, a wire-frame cone chair with pivot joint in place of legs, and Op-Art-patterned rugs, Mr. Panton's work had more in common with that of leading Italian designers than with the designs of Scandinavians who were working in fine, handcrafted wood.
