Abstract
A device for a microactuator comprises a body (110), two terminal members (20, 22) articulated (136, 138) on the body (110), which are situated on one side of the latter, and two deformable bowl-shaped walls (120, 122) which face one another. The walls are configured to house an actuator, with two respective first edges (1202, 1222) of these walls (120, 122) situated on one side being fixed (1264) to the body (110), whereas two respective second edges (1204, 1224) of these walls (120, 122) situated on another side move consecutively to a deformation of the walls (120, 122) under the effect of the actuator. This movement is transmitted by two arms (132, 134) which terminate at the two respective terminal members (20, 22).
