Patent

CA 2421755

An apparatus (1) that is capable of a first stable configuration and a second stable configuration is disclosed. The bistable mechanism (10) has a leg (30, 32) that is coupled on one end by a base member (22, 24) and on the other end by a shuttle (20). The leg (30, 32) stores potential energy as it is deflected. The potential energy stored in the leg (30, 32) has a maximum potential energy position with a low potential energy position on either side of the maximum. An apparatus and method are also disclosed for a latching mechanism (910) and the associated method. The latching mechanism (910) is comprised of a grasping member (932), a lock slider (928), and a detent slider (916). These three members (916, 928, 932) operate together to induce a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration by actuating the lock slider (928) in a single direction.

L'invention concerne un appareil (1) pouvant adopter une première et une seconde configurations stables. Ce mécanisme bistable (10) est pourvu d'une jambe (30, 32) couplée à une extrémité d'un élément de base (22, 24) et à une autre extrémité par une navette (20). La jambe (30, 32) emmagasine de l'énergie potentielle, lorsqu'on la dégonfle. Cette énergie potentielle stockée dans la jambe (30, 32) présente une position d'énergie potentielle maximale avec une position d'énergie potentielle faible de chaque côté du maximum. L'invention concerne un appareil et un procédé pour un mécanisme de verrouillage (910) et le procédé correspondant. Ce mécanisme de verrouillage (910) se compose d'un élément de préhension (932), d'une glissière de verrouillage (928) et d'une glissière d'ouverture (916). Ces trois éléments (916, 928, 932) fonctionnent conjointement, de manière à former une configuration verrouillée et une configuration déverrouillée, en actionnant une glissière de verrouillage (928) dans une seule direction.
