Claims (15)

  1. Un appareil comprenant :
    une pluralité de sous-unités ; et
    un ou plusieurs éléments de liaison pour relier la pluralité de sous-unités les unes aux autres en une chaîne,
    dans lequel la pluralité de sous-unités sont maintenues les unes aux autres dans la chaîne par le ou les éléments de liaison disposés entre les sous-unités,
    dans lequel chaque sous-unité comprend au moins une rainure à travers laquelle l'élément de liaison, ou un des éléments de liaison, peut se déplacer pour que les sous-unités adjacentes puissent être tournées l'une par rapport à l'autre autour d'au moins un axe de rotation par un utilisateur,
    caractérisé en ce que l'appareil comprend en outre un mécanisme de verrouillage configuré pour verrouiller des sous-unités adjacentes les unes aux autres, ce qui permet de résister à la rotation de sous-unités adjacentes et de résister à la désolidarisation de sous-unités adjacentes.
  2. Un appareil selon la revendication 1, dans lequel le ou les éléments de liaison comprennent un élément allongé flexible.
  3. Un appareil selon la revendication 2, dans lequel l'élément allongé flexible est élastique.
  4. Un appareil selon la revendication 2 ou 3, dans lequel chaque sous-unité comprend un trou à travers lequel l'élément allongé flexible s'étend, l'élément allongé flexible s'étendant à travers une pluralité de sous-unités ce qui permet de maintenir la pluralité de sous-unités les unes avec les autres.
  5. Un appareil selon l'une quelconque des revendications 1 à 3, dans lequel une pluralité d'éléments de liaison sont fournis, chacun reliant des sous-unités adjacentes les unes aux autres.
  6. Un appareil selon l'une quelconque des revendications précédentes, le mécanisme de verrouillage étant construit dans lequel chaque sous-unité comprend au moins un élément saillant et/ou au moins un renfoncement qui est complémentaire du ou des éléments saillants grâce à quoi au moins un élément saillant d'une sous-unité est reçu dans au moins un renfoncement d'une des sous-unités adjacentes pour verrouiller des sous-unités adjacentes les unes aux autres ce qui permet de résister à la rotation et à la désolidarisation.
  7. Un appareil selon l'une quelconque des revendications 1 à 5, le mécanisme de verrouillage étant construit dans lequel des sous-unités adjacentes comprennent des éléments saillants et un élément de verrouillage est disposé entre des sous-unités adjacentes, l'élément de verrouillage ayant des renfoncements qui sont complémentaires des éléments saillants grâce à quoi les éléments saillants des sous-unités adjacentes sont reçus dans les renfoncements de l'élément de verrouillage pour verrouiller les sous-unités adjacentes les unes aux autres ce qui permet de résister à la rotation et à la désolidarisation.
  8. Un appareil selon l'une quelconque des revendications 1 à 5, le mécanisme de verrouillage étant construit dans lequel des sous-unités adjacentes comprennent des renfoncements et un élément de verrouillage est disposé entre des sous-unités adjacentes, l'élément de verrouillage ayant des éléments saillants qui sont complémentaires des renfoncements grâce à quoi les éléments saillants de l'élément de verrouillage sont reçus dans les renfoncements des sous-unités adjacentes pour verrouiller les sous-unités adjacentes les unes aux autres ce qui permet de résister à la rotation et à la désolidarisation.
  9. Un appareil selon l'une quelconque des revendications précédentes, dans lequel le mécanisme de verrouillage comprend un ou plusieurs raccords de pression entre des sous-unités adjacentes, un mécanisme de verrouillage magnétique, un mécanisme de verrouillage électromagnétique, un mécanisme de verrouillage en alliage à mémoire de forme, un mécanisme de verrouillage en polymère à mémoire de forme, un mécanisme de verrouillage à fil musculaire, un mécanisme de verrouillage de type velcro, un mécanisme de verrouillage adhésif temporaire, une ou plusieurs vis, une ou plusieurs goupilles, un ou plusieurs coins, un ou plusieurs boulons, ou un ou plusieurs écrous.
