The protective cover 4 includes a set of body 41 and two extending pieces 42 extending from one end of the sleeve body 41 (such as the left end of the sleeve body 41 in FIG. 5). Each of the extending portions 42 has a first extending portion 421 and a second extending portion 422 extending from the sleeve body 41. The length of the second extending portion 422 is preferably smaller than that of the first extending portion 421. a length; an inner edge of the other end of the sleeve body 41 away from the two extending pieces 42 (such as the right end of the sleeve body 41 in FIG. 5) is formed with at least one groove 411, and the groove 411 is capable of accommodating the above two The configuration of the two extensions 422. That is, in the two adjacent pivoting devices 100, the second extending portion 422 of one of the protective sleeves 4 is inserted into the recess 411 of the other protective cover 4 (as shown in FIG. 8), thereby achieving The effect of the extension piece 42 is positioned, and the problem that the second extension portion 422 is warped due to an external force can be effectively avoided.

Further, the sleeve body 41 is disposed on one side of the two rotating members 1 and wrapped around the outside of the torque module 3, and the two extending sheets 42 shield the gap G. A portion of each of the body portions 11 is located between the two extension sheets 42, and a portion of each of the body portions 11 between the two extension sheets 42 has a greater than 90 than the corresponding rotation axis C. The degree is less than a central angle σ of 180 degrees (see Figure 7). Wherein, the two extension pieces 42 of the embodiment are covered by the first extension portion 421 thereof. The gap G, and the above-described central angle σ is substantially between 120 degrees and 170 degrees in this embodiment, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

Furthermore, the two extension pieces 42 are located on an elliptical trajectory formed by the two rotation axes C as two focal points (see FIG. 7).
