FIELD: mechanical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of mechanical engineering, in particular to devices for fixing a multi-section structure of a spacecraft. The device consists of harmonically folded sections pivotally connected to each other and to the spacecraft through the first section. On one of the sections there is a fixing element made in the form of a hinged rigid hook equipped with a spring. On the other section, adjacent to the first one, the axis is pivotally fixed. The axis is installed in the rocker, with the possibility of interaction with the inner side of the hook. The axis is equipped with a spring that allows it to be deflected by the hook.
