2次元ファスナ機構

Conventional fasteners can be easily bent passively, however, the connection part itself cannot draw a free curve trajectory. Recently, self-restoring materials have been studied, that the separated material can reach the same strength as the material which was not cut by contact with each other. Able to cut and restoring the material in a free curve by moving and cutting, two parts can be easily separated and connected in a two-dimensional shape. In this paper, we focused on the function to move and cut, as the 2-dimensional fastener mechanism. As the primary prototype of the mechanism, we report the effectiveness of principle devising, design and trial manufacture, and experiments.
