Abstract

Hinge for connection of parts with freedom of angular movement about the axis (X) of the hinge, characterized in that it comprises a pin (10) made of shape memory material, to which said parts with freedom of angular movement are rigidly constrained in at least two regions (12, 12a) spaced along said axis (X), so that said angular movement determines application of a torsional moment on said shape memory pin.
