Articulation for a boom assembly on a satellite

摘要

The spiral draw spring (F) is on the one hand connected to the boom arm (AR) and on the other hand to the satellite (SAT). The guide component (FE) is rigidly connected with the boom arm. Three stops (A1L, A1R) for outward folding purposes are rigidly connected with the satellite for the guide component. The first and second stops are arranged symmetrically to the movement plane of the boom arm. The guide component during the outward folding of the boom arm comes into contact alternatingly with the first two stops on the one hand and with the third stop on the other hand. The boom arm in the folded-out state supports on all three stops.
