Abstract

The connecting rod (1) for a knuckle joint device with three parallel axes comprises a substantially U-shaped center part (2), whereby the lower transversal branch (3a) thereof constitutes a third articulated axis (X3) of a release device and said branch (3a) is connected at a substantially right angle to the side branches (3b, 3c) and elastic deformation is possible, the side branches extend as far as the upper end thereof by means of segments (3d,3e) that are bent inwards and are parallel to the transversal branch, whereby said segments (3d,3e) display torsional elasticity around the geometric axis thereof such that a rotational return movement is possible on the side ranches (3b,3c) around said geometrical axis and the second axis (X2) of the knuckle joint device.
