Abstract

A shape-memory alloy coupling system for connecting two or more mem-bers (12, 14) and selectively preventing premature locking. The coupling system includes a coupling device (16) adapted for connection to at least one member (12, 14) and being at least partially formed of a shape-memory material. The coupling device (16) has a first configuration that allows relative movement between the member (12, 14) and the coupling device (16), and a second configuration that limits relative movement between the member (12, 14) and the coupling device (16). A blocking element (22) co-acts with the coupling device (16) to selectively prevent the coupling device (16) from assuming the second con-figuration.
