SPACE VEHICLE PAY LOAD FIXING AND EXTENSION DEVICE Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC B64G1/64 B64G1/22 

FIELD: aircraft industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to rocket-and-space system elements deployed in orbit. Device includes external and internal housings as well as internal housing extension system. Pay load is attached to cantilever end of internal housing. Attachment points of that end in external housing are made in the form of three or more triangular frame constructions uniformly located between the above housings. Plane of each of those constructions is perpendicular to the device axis, and that construction is hinged with one of its sides to one of the housings. In opposite apex, the construction is equipped with spring-loaded stock with a sphere located on a free end. Stock is located in the cavity and fixed therein by means of a cotter pin. Sphere interacts with counter socket arranged on the other housing. The present version of the device provides the possibility of extending the pay load from non-detachable external housing of space vehicle, as well as relative axial movement of internal compartment and external housing (including in additional transport support zone).

EFFECT: considerable reduction of deformation forces appearing in external and internal force loops of the device, for example owing to heat or bending actions on the construction.
