The invention relates to a (knee) joint for positioning two pivoting parts in such a way that they can pivot within a limited range. According to the invention, a combined turning and sliding movement is produced by means of curved guides (6, 6', 7, 7'). A cam body (8) connected to one pivoting part, e.g. the lower leg, has two cams (10, 11; 13, 14), preferably on each side. Said cams interact with the curved guides (6, 6', 7, 7'). The curved guides (6, 6', 7, 7') are located in half-shells (3, 4) which are connected to the second pivoting part, e.g. the upper leg. Parts of the inventive knee joint which are subject to wear are relatively easy to replace and movement sequences can also be modified when replacements are made. |
