Support structure has form parts of shape-memory alloy to increase rigidity of support structure in first state and reduce thermal conductivity in second state and has two strut structures

摘要

The support structure has at least one form part (1,2) made of shape-memory alloy, which increases the rigidity of the support structure in a first state and reduces the thermal conductivity in a second state. A first strut structure (3) is surrounded by a more rigid second strut structure (4) and is fixed to it at at least one end (5,6). The first structure is connected to a holder (7) and the second structure is releasably connected to the holder by at least one form part. An Independent claim is included for a connection strut to connect components of different temperature, having the support structure.
