An improved apparatus for forming curved structures comprises a plurality of pivotally connected sections, each section having a track portion, and a strap member adapted for slidably engaging the track portion of the sections such that the sections are movable to form a radius of curvature. The sections of the apparatus of the current invention are initially pivotal in relation to one another. Following position in a desired configuration, one embodiment of the current invention provides a tab or protrusion carried by one section which is compressed against the base portion of an adjacent section to preclude further pivotal movement. In another embodiment, the pivotal connection between adjacent sections is further compressed, crimped or swaged to preclude further pivotal movement.

La présente invention qui concerne un dispositif amélioré pour réaliser des structures courbes est constitué d'une pluralité de sections accouplées pivotantes, chaque section possédant une partie glissière et une partie courroie adaptée pour coulisser dans la partie glissière des sections de telle sorte que les sections sont mobiles et forment un rayon incurvé. Les sections du dispositif de cette invention sont au départ pivotantes les unes par rapport aux autres. Dans la position suivante correspondant à une configuration désirée, une forme d'exécution de l'invention fait qu'une languette ou un élément saillant situés sur une section qui est comprimée contre la base d'une section adjacente empêchent tout autre mouvement pivotant. Dans une autre forme d'exécution, la connexion pivotante entre sections adjacentes est encore plus comprimée, bouclée ou sertie pour empêcher tout mouvement pivotant.
