Abstract: According to an aspect, a device may include a deployable rolling joint having a first deployable joint member, a second deployable joint member, and a plurality of flexures coupled to the first deployable joint member and the second deployable joint member. The deployable rolling joint may move from an undeployed state to a deployed state in which the first deployable joint member forms a convex surface portion and the second deployable joint member forms a convex surface portion. When the deployable rolling joint is in the deployed state, the convex surface portion of the first deployable joint member may roll with respect the convex surface portion of the second deployable joint member, and the plurality of flexures may hold the first deployable joint member and the second deployable joint member together as the first deployable joint member and the second deployable joint member roll across each other.

Abstract translation: 根据一个方面，一种装置可以包括可展开的滚动接头，其具有第一可展开接头构件，第二可展开接头构件以及耦合到第一可展开接头构件和第二可展开接头构件的多个挠曲件。 可展开的滚动接头可以从未部署状态移动到展开状态，其中第一可展开接头构件形成凸面部分，第二可展开接头构件形成凸面部分。 当可展开的滚动接头处于展开状态时，第一可展开接头构件的凸面部分可相对于第二可展开接头构件的凸面部分而滚动，并且多个挠曲件可保持第一可展开接头构件和 第一可展开接头构件和第二可展开接头构件彼此滚动。

Abstract: According to an aspect, a hinge system includes a first compliant hinge having a first attachment portion, a first flexible portion, and a first movable portion, where the first flexible portion is disposed between the first attachment portion and the first movable portion, and a second compliant hinge having a second attachment portion, a second flexible portion, and a second movable portion, where the second flexible portion is disposed between the second attachment portion and the second movable portion. The first attachment portion is coupled to the second attachment portion. The hinge system is configured to move from an un-deflected configuration to a deflected configuration in which the first movable portion and the second movable portion move away from each other.

Abstract translation: 根据一方面，铰链系统包括具有第一附接部分，第一柔性部分和第一可移动部分的第一柔性铰链，其中第一柔性部分设置在第一附接部分和第一可移动部分之间， 第二柔性铰链，具有第二附接部分，第二柔性部分和第二可移动部分，其中第二柔性部分设置在第二附接部分和第二可移动部分之间。 第一附接部分联接到第二附接部分。 铰链系统构造成从未偏转构造移动到第一可移动部分和第二可移动部分彼此远离的偏转构造。
