System, method and apparatus of coil and rod construction comprising mechanisms such as the coil joint, coil body and coil joint spine

Abstract

A system and method of construction based on rods and coils, that includes multiple parts comprising: distinct apparatuses, one or more coil joints, a coil body, and one or more coil spines; wherein any combination of the above parts can result in a variety of distinct structures; wherein the coil joint has 360 degree rotation; wherein the rotation can be limited to simulate other types of joints; wherein this coil joint can be combined with other joint styles to create hybrid styles; wherein there are 2 bias actions, one is an extending action and the other is a contracting action; wherein the action of the coil results in a more life-like motion than not using the coil; wherein the coil body has a flexible shape that can be locked into place; wherein the coil body has a high strength to weight ratio, which leads to high dimensional stability; wherein there is also hollow space for storage and transport of a package inside of the coil body; wherein the coil spine simulates the spines of living beings; wherein the coil spine is a flexible yet robust structure. A system and method of construction based on rods and coils that can create a mechanical hand; wherein the coil joints function as the equivalent to human joints; wherein there are rods that function as the equivalent to human bones; wherein the coil joints create a dampening effect that simulates the dampening effect in human hands; wherein there are coil bodies of the hand, that are used for transport and storage; wherein the fingers of the artificial hand can be replaced with tools that are of a similar size and not excessive weight; wherein the coil joints can be modified to simulate various human joints; where there is a bias in all coils and coil joints; wherein the bias of the coil joints increases the ability of the artificial hand to grasp; wherein the bias of the coil joint functions as tendon tension; wherein the bias of all the coils results in more life-like motion; wherein movement of the finger can be performed with a single wire opposing the bias of the coil; wherein the artificial hand can have autonomous motion by utilizing an actuator system.
