(54)	Connection for foldable tubular members

(57) The invention discloses a joint for connecting two tubes which fold one on the other, in particular for connecting tubes which form the folding legs of a clothes-horse. The joint is formed of a body (10) having on one side a part with a hole (11) open at least towards one end of the body and designed to hold one end of the elements (13) to be connected and, on the other side, a U-shaped part which delimits a channel (12) which is open on one side of said body and designed to hold an end of the other element (14) to be connected, the end of the first element (13) being blocked in said hole (12) whilst the second element (14) is pivoted (14a) in said channel so as to be foldable on the first element.
