Provided is a horizontal universal joint which has a simple structure and sufficient strength, and which is easy to use in practice. The horizontal universal joint is provided with a first joint member (11) in which a horizontally facing frame insertion hole section (12) and a vertically facing female connecting hole section (13) are integrally formed, and a second joint member (21) in which a horizontally facing frame insertion hole section (22) and a vertically facing male connecting hole section (23) are integrally formed. The female connecting hole section (13) of the first joint member (11) and the male connecting hole section (23) of the second joint member (21) are detachably engaged with an elastic member interposed therebetween, and rows of intermeshing teeth (15, 25) are formed in the inner peripheral surface of the female connecting hole section (13) and the outer peripheral surface of the male connecting hole section (23). The horizontal direction in which the frame insertion hole section (22) of the second joint member (21) faces the frame insertion hole section (12) of the first joint member (11) can be freely altered through the meshing positions of the male connecting hole section (23) and the female connecting hole section (13) when the male connecting hole section (23) is inserted into the female connecting hole section (13). |
