Abstract
The invention solves the task of creating a temperature-controlled wire holder that enables a reliable and controlled release. This task is solved by the invention in that the wire holder ( ) is produced from a shape memory material, and that the wire ( ) is clamped in an aperture ( ) of the wire holder ( ) by compression of the aperture ( ), and that the compressed aperture ( ) opens by itself when the wire holder ( ) is heated to a specific operating temperature, thus releasing the wire. The invention may be used in a temperature-controlled wire holder that releases a secured wire ( ) under mechanical tension when a specific operating temperature is achieved.
