SATELLITE VEHICLE VARIABLE MECHANICAL SYSTEMS DEPLOYMENT DEVICE Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC B64G1/22 

FIELD: aviation.

SUBSTANCE: device comprises the brackets (1) and (2) that are attached to the relatively moving elements (4) and (5) (for example, to the panels) of the construction and are linked to each other with the help of the flexible elastic plates (9) in the channeled (under extension) form. On the bracket ends there are rolling cams (6) that are S-shaped covered with the tapes (7) on the outside. The tapes are attached to the cams by the screws (8). There is the rope damping unit on the end part. The elements (contacting pair) of the endpoint sensor are implemented into the interacting cams. The construction deployment is carried out due to the elastic forces that are created by the plates (9). The deployment predetermined trajectory is carried out by the relative cams (6) rolling upon its fixed contact, which is created by the tapes (7). The impact, which occurs at the end of the deployment, is partially compensated for the damping unit. The fixation in the open condition is provided by the rigidity of the plates (9). The fact of the deployment is registered by the sensor.

EFFECT: providing the construction rigidity in the open condition in a simple way, deployment process informativity enhancement and impact loads reduction.
