WING DEPLOYMENT MECHANISM

摘要

Wing deployment mechanism for deploying a pair of wings from an airborne body, wherein their deployment in motion, each one around an axis, defines the wings' deployment plane relative to the airborne body, and wherein the mechanism is characterized by that it comprises a propelable assembly mounted in the airborne body and suited to a rotational motion around an axis that is substantially orthogonal in its direction to the wings' deployment plane, a pair of arms that are linked, each one, on its one side to the assembly and at distance from the assembly's rotation axis, and on its other side to an end of one of the wings and at a distance from the axis around which the rotational motion of the wing in the wings' deployment plane is enabled, and wherein the link of each one of the arms is performed in a manner that enables angular motion of each of the arms relative to the assembly and to the end of the wing unto which it is linked, and wherein propelling the assembly to rotational motion and actuating a momentum for turning the wing as a result by the arm that is connected to it bring about concurrent rotational motion of the pair of wings in opposing directions and to their deployment on the wings' deployment plane, a method for deploying a pair of wings from an airborne body that is implementable in such mechanism and an airborne body equipped with such mechanism.

主权项

1. A mechanism for deploying a pair of wings from an airborne body, wherein their deployment in motion, each one around an axis, defines the wings' deployment plane relative to the airborne body, and wherein the mechanism is characterized by that it comprises—
an assembly that can be propelled that is mounted in said airborne body and is suited to a rotational motion around an axis that is substantially orthogonal in its direction to said wings' deployment plane, and a pair of arms that are linked, each one, on its one side to said assembly that can be propelled and at distance from the rotation axis of said assembly, and on its other side to an end of one of said wings and at a distance from said axis around which said rotational motion of the wing in the wings' deployment plane is enabled, and wherein said link of each one of the arms is performed in a manner that enables angular motion of each of the arms relative to the assembly and to said end of the wing unto which it is linked, and wherein propelling said assembly to rotational motion and actuating a momentum for turning the wing as a result by said arm that is connected to it bring about concurrent rotational motion of the pair of wings in opposing directions and to their deployment on the wings' deployment plane.
