Abstract
The conduit ( ) includes a rotary fitting ( ), and two segments ( ) elbow-connected to each other and each having an articulated mechanism ( ) including a pair of U-section bars ( ) connected to each other in the form of an articulated parallelogram by means of two articulated elements ( ). A spiral compression spring ( ) is housed between each pair of bars ( ), and is compressed between a disk ( ), integral with one of the bars ( ), and a flange ( ) sliding along a threaded rod ( ). The flange (64) is locked on the rod ( ) by means of a nut ( ), and the rod ( ) is connected to a lever member ( ) pivoting on one of the articulated elements ( ) so as to adjust the action of the spring ( ) as a function of the angular position of the relative segment ( ) with respect to the articulated element ( ).
