Article provided with elastic joints rigidifying themselves under tension

Abstract

Abstract Article comprising at least two rigid elements (2, 3), articulation means for these two elements and means for locking these elements together in a folded position. The articulation means (1) comprise a part (4) having elastic properties, connecting these two elements to each other, the said articulation means being arranged in order to cause the part having elastic properties to occupy a relaxed position when the two elements are not locked together and a stretched position when the two elements are locked together. Good rigidity of the mutual articulation of the two elements is thus achieved when the locking means are engaged. <IMAGE>
