Abstract: A friction control mechanism for an articulating arm including an arm, a pivot connector, an axial washer, and at least one set screw. An axial washer is placed around each side of a center aperture in the pivot connector. The pivot connector is connected to the arm with a pivot pin through the center aperture in the pivot connector and aligned holes in the first and second sides of the arm. At least one threaded hole is located adjacent the aligned hole in the first side of the arm. A set screw is placed through each threaded hole, making contact with the axial washer. This contact creates a friction force between the pivot connector and the axial washer, keeping the articulating arm from drifting away from its set position. The pivot connector may be connected to another device such as another arm or a machine such as an x-ray machine, or to another pivot connector.

Abstract translation: 一种用于铰接臂的摩擦控制机构，包括臂，枢轴连接器，轴向垫圈和至少一个定位螺钉。 绕枢轴连接器中心孔的每一侧放置一个轴向垫圈。 枢转连接器通过枢轴销通过枢转连接器中的中心孔连接到臂上，并且在臂的第一和第二侧中对准孔。 至少一个螺纹孔位于臂的第一侧中邻近对准孔的位置。 一个固定螺丝穿过每个螺纹孔，与轴向垫圈接触。 该接触件在枢转连接器和轴向垫圈之间产生摩擦力，保持铰接臂远离其设定位置漂移。 枢转连接器可以连接到另一个装置，例如另一个臂或诸如x射线机的机器，或者连接到另一枢转连接器。
