An actuation system having a configuration of first and second components (12, 14), each component having longitudinally extending fingers (12c, 14c) interlaced with one another. Relative longitudinal movement is permitted between the fingers (12c, 14c) in a manner to permit the second component (14) to be movable longitudinally with respect to the first component (12) between a first position and a second position. A biasing member (52) is provided within the configuration that biases the second component (14) towards the second position. A wire (44) is wound about the fingers (12c, 14c) that restrains the second component (14) in the first position. A release device (50) selectively causes the wire (44) to be loosened about the fingers (12c, 14c) such that the biasing member (52) moves the second component (14) from the first position to the second position. An actuator (22) connected to the second component (14) moves with the second component (14) from the first position to the second position. |
