<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a connection structure and a joint capable of ensuring a large degree of freedom in attitude change of a posture of an article. <P>SOLUTION: The connection structure 50 includes a first spherical member 1604, a second spherical member 46, a first clamping plate 52, a second clamping plate 54, and a single male screw member 56. A first clamping recessed portion 58 and a third clamping recessed portion 66 are confronted, a second clamping recessed portion 60 and a fourth clamping recessed portion 68 are confronted, and the first spherical member 1604 is positioned between the first clamping recessed portion 58 and the third clamping recessed portion 66, and the second spherical member 46 is positioned between the second clamping recessed part 60 and the fourth clamping recessed part 68. When a male screw 5602 of the male screw member 56 inserted into an insertion hole 62 is screwed into a female screw 70, the first spherical member 1604 is fixed by a first spherical clamping surface 58A and a third spherical clamping surface 66A, and the second spherical member 46 is fixed by a second spherical clamping surface 60A and a fourth spherical clamping surface 68A. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
