Abstract

A link device comprising a first object and a second object comprises a first strip, capable of passing from a configuration wound about an axis Z about a support fixed to the first object to a configuration deployed along an axis X substantially at right angles to the axis Z, the strip having an end intended to come into contact with the second object, so as to link the first object to the second object.

Claims (10)

1. An assembly comprising:

a first object;

a second object;

a first strip, capable of passing from a configuration wound about an axis Z about a support fixed to the first object to a configuration deployed along an axis X substantially at right angles to the axis Z, the strip having an end to link the first object to the second object, wherein the end of the first strip is linked to the second object by a link element, and wherein the link element is a mechanical component allowing the rotation of the second object about the axis X; and

a second strip superposed on the first strip, capable of passing from a configuration wound about the axis Z about the support fixed to the first object to a configuration deployed along the axis X substantially at right angles to the axis Z, the second strip having an end intended to come into contact with a third object, so as to link the first object to the third object.

2. The assembly of claim 1 , comprising a first flange and a second flange positioned substantially parallel to the plane XY, on either side of the first strip.

3. The assembly of claim 1 , comprising a cover positioned around the first strip.

4. The assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a motor having an output shaft along the axis Z linked to the support, intended to wind and deploy the first strip.

5. The assembly of claim 1 , comprising a guiding device for the first strip.

6. The assembly of claim 1 , comprising a cutting device intended to cut the first strip.
