knuckle joint
A knuckle joint is a mechanical joint used to connect two rods which are under the action of tensile loads. However, if some compression forces are also present, then the joint can also withstand them. This joint allows angular movement and rotation in one plane only. It is typified by its ability to handle both tension and compression. Named for its visual similar to the knuckle of a finger, it is common in various mechanisms and machines.
