Title:
BENDING STRUCTURE AND METHOD FOR DESIGNING BENDING STRUCTURE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/063308
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present disclosure describes a bending structure and a method for designing a bending structure with which a thick target member can be folded more compactly. The bending structure has: a rib base; a first surface support portion which forms a plurality of first surfaces each surrounded by adjacent two first fold lines and a second fold line; a second surface support portion which is provided on the outer side of the first surface with respect to the rib base along the extending direction of the first fold line and which forms a plurality of second surfaces each surrounded by the adjacent two first fold lines and the second fold line; and a base member which has a shape corresponding to the rib base and which is pivotable with respect to the first surface support portion. The bending structure further has a gusset portion in at least a part of a portion between the first surface support portion and the second surface support portion that are arranged along the extending direction of the first fold line, the gusset portion including a surface that pivots with respect to the first surface support portion or the second surface support portion.
