IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO DEFORMABLE NON-ROUND MEMBRANE ASSEMBLIES
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2017194692
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide improvements in or relating to deformable non-round membrane assemblies, in which the shape of a membrane is controllably adjustable by altering the fluid pressure across the membrane.SOLUTION: A deformable membrane assembly comprises an at least partially flexible fluid-filled envelope, one wall of which is formed by an elastic membrane 8 that is held around its edge by a resiliently bendable supporting ring 2, a fixed support for the envelope, and selectively operable means of adjusting pressure of a fluid in the envelope to cause the membrane to deform by causing relative movement between the supporting ring and the support.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8
