Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to effect panel development by keeping at one end of a lever a forward end of a holding pin passed through a bush having holes permitting passage there-through of a plurality of panels and linearly disposing a wire rope and a tensile coil spring at the other end of this lever so that these two elements may pull each other. CONSTITUTION:When the force F is released by a pipe explosion device or the like (not shown) in order to release on an orbit the development type solar battery panels 1 loaded on an artificial satellite, a lever 17 is rotated about a pin 18 in a direction of B by the force P previously applied to a holding pin 14 and the force of a tensile coil spring 23, so that a restraint imposed upon the holding pin 14 is released. While, as a result, the holding pin 14 is moved upwards by the action of a compression coil spring 15, the range of movement thereof is limited by a casing 12. On the other hand, each panel 1 having been liberated from its restraint is developed with each hinge 4 as a center of rotation. At this time, the holding pin 14 is sequentially drawn off from a bush 5 nearer to a satellite side wall 3. Upon completion of the panel 1 development, the portion of the holding pin 14 protruded from the outer end panel is held in a state wherein it is projected.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the conventional holding and releasing device as described above, when the panel is in the retracted state, the end of the rod (8) is moved by the force P by the recessed portion of the pin (6) in the direction shown by the arrow in FIG. This means that the panel is being pulled in the direction of A. Considering the vibrations caused by the satellite during launch, a large force P is required to secure the panel (1) to the satellite side wall (3). However, even if the release device (detonator) is activated and the force F is released, the end of the rondo (8) receives force in the direction of the arrow (A) as described above, and the bracket (7) There was a problem in that there were cases where the panel (]) could not be released because it did not slide inside the panel.
