  • Deployment mechanism for stowable fins
    Patent number: 6905093
    Abstract: A deployment mechanism (414) in combination with a missile (10), guided projectile (410) or other ordnance that automatically pivots and rotates a fin (412) from a stowed orientation to a deployed orientation. The deployment mechanism (414) includes a tubular cam (434) having a retention mechanism (455) that retains the fin (412) simply and reliably in the stowed orientation. The tubular cam also guides the fin (412) quickly to the deployed orientation.
    Type: Grant

  • Missile having deployment mechanism for stowable fins
    Patent number: 6761331
    Abstract: A missile in combination with a deployment mechanism that automatically pivots and rotates a fin from a stowed orientation to a deployed orientation. The deployment mechanism includes a spring that provides a biasing force that urges the fin to move quickly, simply and reliably from the stowed orientation to the deployed orientation. The deployment mechanism also includes one or more cams or the like for guiding the fin from the stowed orientation to the deployed orientation.
