Title:
HOLDING AND RELEASING MECHANISM WITH A SHAPE MEMORY ACTUATOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2000017051
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
The aim of the invention is to provide a holding and releasing mechanism with a shape memory actuator which enables secure releasing and which has a simple constructive design and requires a minimum supply of energy. To this end, the wire end (7, 8) is held by a loose end of a shape memory wire (9, 10) which longitudinally contracts when the temperature is raised and withdraws its loose end from an aperture (27, 28) formed by the wire end (7, 8). The invention is used in a holding and releasing mechanism with a shape memory actuator which releases a wire end that is under tensile stress in a temperature-controlled manner.
