Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0209466A2] The device comprises a rigid body (1) provided with openings (2) in which are engaged triggering fingers (5). Triggering means (30) consisting of a multiposition reversible shape memory element are provided in the rigid body (1). These means (30) are integral with a mechanical element (4) with cam profile, capable, under the action of the triggering means (30), of causing the engaging/disengaging of the triggering fingers (5). Application to connectors, tooling and robotics. <IMAGE>
