  • Extensible arm, particularly for space modules or vehicles
    Patent number: 4557083
    Abstract: In an extensible arm having a reticular lattice structure with a polygonal cross-section, particularly for space modules or vehicles, each longitudinal side of the lattice structure includes first and second kinematic pantograph chains each constituted by a plurality of rods articulated together so as to define a series of aligned X-shaped elements. The rods of the second kinematic chain are shorter than the rods of the first kinematic chain, and the articulations between the X-shaped elements of the second kinematic chain located on one side of the latter coincide with the articulations between the X-shaped elements of the first kinematic chain located on the same side.
