Abstract
A modular hinged joint which attaches to the end of a structural member converts agonist-antagonist tensile forces to either side of a cord into a torque in a second structural member. Plain bearing surfaces with hour-glass shaped profiles maintain the alignment of the joint tensile forces are applied to the cord. Tensile forces introduced from the cord are resolved within the joint, reducing the robustness demand on the attachment to the second structural member. A pin-type fastener ensures that the joint remains intact when tensile forces to the cord are absent.
