Double lamina compliant joint (DLCJ).
I believe that the hinge that you and Nicope have drawn up has another name, and I'm unable to find a picture to help my memory.
This joint is often assumed to be related to the rolamite bearing. But because there is no box or sliding action it is different. I thought of it when I saw the DLCJ joint constructed with thread on Wally, and I was curious if it was related. I've also seen instrumentation with this style of joint (metal ribbons), it's slippery :)
