  • Device for deploying a deployable element, in particular a handle, for a weapon system
    Patent number: 11549779
    Abstract: The deployment device may include a support piece, the deployable element, in particular a handle, may be rotatably mounted on said support piece and being connected by means of an elastic element to the support piece. The deployable element may include at least one pin capable of being moved along a curved guide of the support piece and adopting one or both of the two stable positions, respectively, in two housings provided in the support piece. The stable positions may respectively correspond to a stowed position and a deployed position of the deployable element. The guide and the elastic element may be configured to generate an automatic deployment of the deployable element to the deployed position as soon as the deployable element is subjected by an operator to a rotation having an angle greater than or equal to an unlocking angle.
