摘要： Reversibly expandable structures are formed from loop assemblies comprising interconnected pairs of polygonal shaped links. Each loop assembly has polygon links with at least three pivot joints and at least some of the polygon links have more than three pivot joints. Additionally, these links lie essentially on the surface of the structure or parallel to the plane of the surface of the structure. Each polygon link has a center pivot joint for connecting to another link to form a link pair. Each link also has at least one internal pivot joint and one perimeter pivot joint. The internal pivot joints are used for connecting link pairs to adjacent link pairs to form a loop assembly. Loop assemblies can be joined together and/or to other link pairs through the perimeter pivot joints to form structures. In one preferred embodiment of the present invention link pairs may be connected to adjacent link pairs in a loop assembly through hub elements that are connected at the respective internal pivot joints of the two link pairs. Similarly hubs elements can be used to connect loop assemblies together or loop assemblies to other link pairs through the perimeter pivot joints. In yet another embodiment of the present invention the pivot joints can be designed as living hinges.
摘要翻译： 可逆扩展结构由包括相互成对的多边形链接对的环组件形成。 每个回路组件具有至少三个枢轴接头的多边形连接，并且多边形连接中的至少一些具有多于三个的枢轴接头。 另外，这些连接件基本上在结构的表面上或平行于结构表面的平面。 每个多边形链接具有用于连接到另一个链接以形成链接对的中心枢轴接头。 每个连杆还具有至少一个内部枢转接头和一个周边枢轴接头。 内部枢轴接头用于将链节对连接到相邻链接对以形成环组件。 环组件可以通过周边枢轴接头连接在一起和/或连接到其它连杆对以形成结构。 在本发明的一个优选实施例中，链节对可以通过连接在两个链节对的相应内部枢转接头处的轮毂元件连接到环组件中的相邻链节对。 类似的轮毂元件可用于将回路组件连接在一起，或通过周边枢轴接头将环组件连接到其他连杆对。 在本发明的另一个实施例中，枢轴接头可被设计为活动铰链。

摘要： This application is directed to a linkage system which provides continuous rotation to two or more interconnected quadrilaterals. The basic element of the linkage system is a multi-level link which provides firstly, a non-rotatable connection between two sub-links lying in separate parallel planes and secondly, a rotatable connection for a further link lying in another parallel plane between the planes of the sub-links. By various interconnections between link elements, the quadrilaterals the linkage system will form various geometric patterns as the linkage is rotated. As the quadrilaterals lie in different planes, they may be continuously rotated with respect to each other. The linkage system may be used as a toy, a novelty item and as an educational tool.

摘要： A loop-assembly is disclosed which is comprised of at least three scissors-pairs (210),(220),(230), at least two of the pairs comprising:
two essentially identical rigid angulated strut elements (211),(212), each having a central and two terminal pivot points (213) which do not lie in a straight line, each strut being pivotally joined to the other of its pair by their central pivot points,
each pair being pivotally joined by two terminal pivot points (213),(214) to two terminal pivot points (223),(224) of another pair such that both scissors pairs lie essentially in the same plane, or
each pair being pivotally joined by two terminal pivot points (213),(214) to two terminal pivot points (223),(224) of another pair in that the terminal points of a scissors-pair are each pivotally joined to a hub element (240),(245), and these hub elements are in turn joined to the terminal pivot points of another scissors-pair,
whereby a closed loop-assembly (200) is thus formed of scissors pairs, and this loop-assembly can fold and unfold, and
a line (270) that intersects and is perpendicular to the axes of any two terminal pivot points is non-parallel with at least two other similarly formed lines (280),(290) in the assembly,
the angles formed between said lines remaining constant as the loop assembly is folded and unfolded.摘要翻译： 公开了一种环组件，其包括至少三个剪刀对（210），（220），（230），所述对中的至少两个包括：两个基本相同的刚性角撑杆元件（211），（212） 每个具有不位于直线的中心和两个端子枢轴点（213），每个支柱通过其中心枢转点枢转地连接到另一个支柱，每对支撑点由两个终端枢轴点（ （214）连接到另一对的两个终端枢轴点（223），（224），使得两个剪刀对基本上位于相同的平面中，或者每对都由两个终端枢轴点（213），（214）枢转地连接 ）到另一对的两个端子枢轴点（223），（224），因为剪刀对的端点各自枢转地连接到轮毂元件（240）（245），并且这些轮毂元件又连接 到另一个剪刀对的终端枢转点，由此由剪刀对形成闭环组件（200），并且th 环组件可以折叠和展开，并且与任何两个端子枢轴点的轴线相交并垂直于其的轴线（270）与在其中的至少两个其它类似形成的线（280），（290）不平行 组合时，当环组件折叠和展开时，所述线之间形成的角度保持恒定。

摘要： An assembly comprising at least two movable panels, each having an elongated profile and at least two pivot connections is provided. The assembly also includes at least two links, each link comprised of at least two pivot connections, each of which is offset from one another both in the plane orthogonal to the axis of the pivots as well as offset from one another along the vector defined by the axis of the pivots itself. The movable panels are each pivotally attached to at least two of the two or more links. The assembly may take an extended configuration wherein the panels form a continuous surface having a polygonal profile in plan and a stepped profile in elevation. The assembly may take on a retracted configuration such that the panels are essentially stacked over one another to form a compact bundle having an elongated profile.

摘要： A new hub element is disclosed for building reversible expandable three-dimensional truss structures. The hub element can directly connect a pin joint towards the center of a scissor linkage to a pivot located near the extremity of another out-of-plane scissor linkage. It has the advantages of being more compact than previously known hub elements and can be used to create foldable structures that are more structurally sound than previously possible. The use of this novel hub element can also reduce the number of pieces required for a given foldable structure, thereby reducing manufacturing and assembly costs.

摘要： Self-supporting structures of diverse shapes are disclosed that may be collapsed down to a compact bundle. In them, units are employed that are comprised of a central tapered strip bordered by two elongated strips. The tapered strip is pleated along a series of lines that cross it widthwise and each elongated strip is pleated along a series of lines that cross it widthwise. The central tapered strip is joined to each of the two elongated strips by a series of pleat lines that are connected end-to-end. When the unit is folded, each of the two elongated strips fold into a stack, and the central tapered strip folds in a zig-zag fashion, such that the planets of the tapered strip lie essentially orthogonal to the planes of the stacked elongated strips. The two stacked elongated strips fold towards each other, such that the stacks lie in line with one another.

Each loop assembly has polygon links with at least three pivot joints and at least some of the polygon links have more than three pivot joints. Additionally, these links lie essentially on the surface of the structure or parallel to the plane of the surface of the structure. Each polygon link has a center pivot joint for connecting to another link to form a link pair. Each link also has at least one internal pivot joint and one perimeter pivot joint. The internal pivot joints are used for connecting link pairs to adjacent link pairs to form a loop assembly. Loop assemblies can be joined together and/or to other link pairs through the perimeter pivot joints to form structures. In one preferred embodiment of the present invention link pairs may be connected to adjacent link pairs in a loop assembly through hub elements that are connected at the respective internal pivot joints of the two link pairs. Similarly hubs elements can be used to connect loop assemblies together or loop assemblies to other link pairs through the perimeter pivot joints. In yet another embodiment of the present invention the pivot joints can be designed as living hinges.
