Zusammenfassung:PURPOSE:To simplify the structure of a fixing device to reduce manufacturing costs by forming the device by a spring body made of shape-memory alloy, and elastic member connected to objects to be fixed, and an heating element, and forming the spring body by a material contracting when heated to a specified temperature and extending at a temperature close to room temperature. CONSTITUTION:A spring body 1 is a spring, etc., made from shape-memory alloy as raw material. The spring body 1 is sometimes manufactured so that it contracts when it is heated to a specified temperature, and extends at a temperature close to room temperature, and on the contrary, it is manufactured so that it contracts at a temperature close to room temperature and extends when it is heated to a specified temperature. Further, a heating element 2 such as nichrome wire, etc., is accommodated in the spring body 1, and the heating element 2 and the power supply unit on the ground surface are connected to each other by a cord 21. An elastic member 4 is made of hard rubber, etc., as raw material, and formed into a cylinder, etc. The elastic member 4 is positioned on the outer periphery of the spring body 1, and its both ends are fixed to cut edge parts of objects 3, 31 to be fixed.
