Tuning of a kinematic relationship between members
Described herein is a device comprising members in a kinematic relationship. The kinematic relationship is at least partially governed by at least one magnetically induced force that introduces a force threshold that, in effect, provides a threshold to part movement and confers a degree of hysteresis, preventing movement until a sufficiently large energizing force is applied. The effect may be further altered by use of an additional magnetically induced force interaction with at least one further member to urge or slow movement once started and/or to prevent movement once a new position is reached.

H02K 49/04 - Dynamo-electric clutchesDynamo-electric brakes of the asynchronous induction type of the eddy-current hysteresis type
An eddy current brake configuration comprises a cylinder and a tube. The tube is configured to move rotationally relative to the cylinder and axially as a stroke into the cylinder. The tube and cylinder comprise at least one magnet and at least one conductor that interact when the tube enters the cylinder at different rates of relative rotational movement to impose an eddy current braking force against relative movement between the tube and cylinder. The eddy current brake configuration is further configured to have a bi-stable attractive force arrangement wherein tube stroke movement comprises a first magnetic attraction force and a second magnetic attraction force. The first magnetic attraction force between the tube and an external element acts to delay relative motion of the tube relative to the cylinder. When the first magnetic attraction force is overcome, the tube is free to travel axially into the cylinder. The second magnetic attraction force between the tube and a cylinder end acts to latch the tube in the cylinder.

TUNING OF A KINEMATIC RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MEMBERS
Described herein is a device comprising members in a kinematic relationship. The kinematic relationship is at least partially governed by at least one magnetically induced force that introduces a force threshold that, in effect, provides a threshold to part movement and confers a degree of hysteresis, preventing movement until a sufficiently large energising force is applied. The effect may be further altered by use of an additional magnetically induced force interaction with at least one further member to urge or slow movement once started and/or to prevent movement once a new position is reached.
Described herein are latching devices where relative speed of movement between members is in part controlled or reduced via eddy current formation and in part controlled or relative motion stopped via a latch arrangement. Various embodiments are described, one being use of a conductive member; at least one magnetic field and a latch member that, prior to latching, moves independently to the at least one conductive member. A kinematic relationship exists between the conductive member and at least one magnetic field that enables the conductive member to move at a different speed relative to the magnetic field on application of an energising force, thereby inducing an eddy current drag force by relative movement of the conductive member in the magnetic field. The eddy current drag force resulting causes movement of the conductive member causing the conductive member to engage the latch member thereby halting movement between the at least one conductive member and the at least one latch member.

The effect may be further altered by use of an additional magnetically induced force interaction with at least one further member to urge or slow movement once started and/or to prevent movement once a new position is reached.
In one embodiment, the device comprises a first member in a kinematic relationship with at least one further member to form a system. The system interacts when an external energising force is imposed on the system causing the members to respond due to their kinematic and dynamic characteristics and thereby creating relative motion between the members. A trigger member is coupled to the at least the first member and moves in response to a pre-determined system movement. When the trigger member moves, the trigger member imposes a braking action on the system or members thereof. The speed or intensity of the braking action imposed by the trigger member on the system or members thereof is controlled by the trigger member rate of movement. This rate of movement is in turn governed by a magnetic flux interaction between the trigger member and the at least one first member causing formation of a magnetically induced eddy current force between the parts.
