• the arrangement of the knuckles is similar to that of the first embodiment of the invention described above.
• each set of first knuckle 13 and second knuckles 14 and 14 ' is received in a respective "U" shaped receptacle arranged in the articulation member 24.
• the receptacles are here two in number and positioned along the longitudinal axis 0 on either side of the light 31.
• Each of the receptacles comprises a bottom 63 in the form of a flat surface portion parallel to the longitudinal axis 0.
• each side wall of the "U" shape of the receptacle has a housing 28.
• the articulation of the joint is achieved by the establishment of the screws 50, two in number, in each set of first knuckle 13, second knuckles 14 and 14 'and receptacle shaped "U". Maintaining the screws 50 is provided by a thread provided in at least one of the housings 23, 28, 49 of the sets of first knuckle 13, second knuckles 14 and 14 'and receptacle shaped "U".
• the opening abutment surfaces 19 are located, as for the first embodiment of the invention, by the first 2 and second 3 parts.
• the closing abutment surfaces 20 are, for their part, located on the hinges 60 and 61.
• the closing abutment surfaces 20 have an additional role which is described a little further below.
• the articulation also comprises means for limiting the predetermined stroke of the articulation member 24 in the open position and in the closed position.
• the first means for limiting the predetermined stroke of the articulation member 24 in the open position have, in a manner similar to the first embodiment of the invention, at least two lateral surfaces 32, 32 'provided on the outer wall 27 of the articulation member 24 and at least two lateral faces 34, 34 'respectively provided on the male hinge 60 and the female hinge 61.
• the body of the articulation member 24 is devoid of fins carrying the second and third limiting means of the first embodiment of the invention.
• the hinge 1 has no no second limiting means in the open position in the sense of the previous embodiments.
• Concerning the third means for limiting the stroke of the articulation member 24 in the closed position these comprise the bottoms 63 situated on the articulation member 24 as well as the contact faces 62 located on a outer edge of the second knuckles 14 and 14 'and contact faces 62' similarly located on an outer edge of the first knuckles 13.
• the opening abutment surfaces 19 are in contact with each other, the first means for limiting the predetermined stroke of the articulation member 24 in the open position. have their surfaces 32, 32 'respectively in contact with the surfaces 34, 34'.
• the conduits 8 and the lumen 31 are aligned allowing the passage of the flexible element 10.
• the closing abutment surfaces 20 are in abutment against each other.
• the closure abutment surfaces 19, once in contact allow to preserve the contact faces 62 and 62 'of wear and deformation. This avoids making the closure stop by the simultaneous contact of the contact faces 62 and 62 'with the funds 63.
• an electrical and / or electronic information transfer means such as a flexible cable 110 can be installed through the ducts 8 of the first part 2 and the second part. part 3 and through the light 31 of the hinge member 24.
• the hinge member 24 allows in all positions between the open position and closure to guide the flexible cable while avoiding the constraints suffered by the one especially during the transition from the open position to the closed position and vice versa. Such a configuration ensures a radius of curvature of the flexible cable in the closed position greater than or equal to 10 mm.
