A rotary joint comprises outer member with flanges at either end, having
inner rotary shaft and annular depression around the rotary shaft,
one-way clutch for externally engaging the rotary shaft, metal bush for
externally engaging the one-way clutch, synthetic resin bush for
externally engaging the metal bush, brake bush for externally engaging
the synthetic resin bush, cylindrical projection which is fitted in
annular depression of the outer member located outside the brake bush,
inner member with flanges at either end, and a stopper mechanism for
controlling the range of rotary shaft rotation which is installed at
inner projection of rotary shaft. Such a construction enables the
execution of torque tests with a single unit of an articulation
prosthetic implement rotary joint.
