The invention relates to a swivel joint (1) for movably connecting two beams (4) of a work trestle (14), the swivel joint (1) being a first element (2) which can be connected to one of the beams (4) and the second Element (3) which can be connected to the other beam (4), the two elements (2, 3) being connected to at least one bolt (5) so as to be rotatable relative to one another about an axis of rotation of the bolt (5). In order to increase robustness and simplify operability, the invention provides that the two elements (2, 3) are connected to one another in a frictional manner by elastic deformation of at least one spring component, so that the first element (2) rotates relative to the second Element (3) requires a predetermined torque.
