A resilient pivot assembly (10) comprising: a first housing member (12) and a second housing member (14) held together side-by side; and configured to present a central aperture (A) sized to accept a shaft (30) or shaft sleeve (28) wherein said first housing member has a first groove/channel (24a) and said second housing member (14) has a second groove/channel (24b); a shaft (30) with a third groove/channel (32) that extends at least partly around the circumference of the shaft (30) or the outer surface of a sleeve (28); where said first (24a), second (24b) and third (32) grooves/channels cooperate to form a generally annular shaped channel (C) that houses at least one tubular shaped resilient member (34) and supports the shaft (30) so that it may readily partly or fully rotate about its axis (?-?'). |
