Patent number: 4810201Abstract: The coupling is constituted by a split sleeve (1) made of material having shape memory. The sleeve (1) is capable of occupying a first memorized shape state (I) in which electrical and mechanical interconnection is provided between electrical conductors (2, 3). In a second memorized shape state (II) the sleeve allows the conductors to be freely inserted or removed from the sleeve (1). The sleeve is capable of passing reversibly between said first and second states under the effects of temperature changes.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 1986Date of Patent: March 7, 1989Assignee: Souriau & CieInventors: Michel de Mendez, Jean J. Negre, Gerard Guenin, Guy Herubel

Patent number: 4753689Abstract: The invention relates to a method of conditioning an object in shape-memory material of metallic alloy type.The object formed to final shapes and dimensions constituting the first shape-memory state is submitted to a thermal treatment in order to bring this object to an austenitic crystallographic phase, then to cooling. The object is then submitted in at least one deformation zone to a process of education consisting of imposing on the object, in at least one cycle, a series of thermal and/or mechanical stresses. The stresses are such as to lead to deformation of the object for bringing it to a shape close to its second shape-memory state in a martensitic crystallographic state, then to permit the return of the object to its first shape-memory state, on a return of the object to the austenitic crystallographic state.Application to electric contact elements.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 1986Date of Patent: June 28, 1988Assignee: Souriau & CieInventors: Gilles Rizzo, Alain Dubertret, Gerard Guenin

Patent number: 4720270Abstract: The invention relates to an electric connector with a contact element of shape-memory material.The connector has at least one conducting male part and/or a female part intended to be inserted the one into the other for ensuring or breaking electric conduction. One at least of the male or female parts is of a shape-memory conductive material, at least at its active contact end. The male or female part is formed in a manner to enable its tight adaption to the complementary female or male part in a first shape-memory state and to enable ensurance of disengagement of the complementary female or male part in a second shape-memory state.Application to electric connectors used in electromechanics aeronautical or space electronic installations, information or telematic material.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 1986Date of Patent: January 19, 1988Assignee: Souriau & CieInventors: Gerard Guenin, Guy Herubel, Raymond Bargain, Michel De Mendez
