The invention relates to a self-driving and self-locking hinge strap for mounting between two adjacent elements (A.sub.1, A.sub.2), the strap being of the type constituted by at least one resilient strip (3) preformed to have a section that is curved and designed to be secured via its two ends to the two elements, and to occupy a folded position and a deployed position. According to the invention, each resilient strip (3) is provided with a layer of viscoelastic material (4) interposed between one of the faces of the resilient strip (3) and a stress plate (5) in such a manner as to provide a hinge that also performs a damping function.
