摘要： The present invention is a dynamically steerable mono belt apparatus and includes a first pivotable body element in communication with a second pivotable body element. A first pivot mechanism is attached to and positioned between the first pivotable body element and the second pivotable body element to allow the first pivotable body element to pivot in a first pivot plane of movement with respect to the second pivotable body element. The present invention also includes a continuous belt element formed as a loop and continuously rotatable in a first plane of rotation around the first pivotable body element, the first pivot mechanism and the second pivotable body element. The continuous belt element is flexible in the pivot plane of movement, such that when the first pivotable body element is pivoted, via the first pivot mechanism, in the pivot plane of movement, the continuous belt element is flexed.

摘要翻译： 本发明是一种动态可操纵的单声带装置，并且包括与第二可枢转主体元件连通的第一可枢转主体元件。 第一枢转机构附接到并定位在第一可枢转主体元件和第二可枢转主体元件之间，以允许第一可枢转主体元件相对于第二可枢转主体元件在第一枢转运动平面中枢转。 本发明还包括形成为环的连续带元件，并且围绕第一可枢转主体元件，第一枢转机构和第二可枢转元件在第一旋转平面中连续地旋转。 连续带元件在运动的枢转平面中是柔性的，使得当第一可枢转主体元件经由第一枢转机构枢转时，在运动的枢转平面中，连续的带元件被弯曲。
