Abstract
A mobile joint mechanism comprising a fixed flange and a mobile flange that can be locked by two units controlled by a sliding push-rod that is itself activated by the pivoting of two control plates linked one to the other by idle movement, to free the mobile flange. A circular guide includes radial gaps that receive the units, and maintain the units in retracted position when they disengage from the radial gaps through the pivoting of one of the control plates, which also fixes the circular guide to the mobile flange. The mobile flange can thus turn freely before in re-locks at its original angle when the radial gaps of the circular guide return to be opposite the units.
