Constant volume mobility joints are described for interconnecting adjacent segments of an hermetically sealed spacesuit for relative motion. Each joint includes at least one pair of annuli supported for pivotal displacement about paralleling axes and a flexible, substantially impermeable diaphragm of a tubular configuration spanning the distance between the annuli and connected thereto in an hermetically sealed relationship therewith. The diaphragm includes at least one rolling convolution having a crown disposed in a fixed relation with an axis about which one of the annuli pivots.
