Since conventional deployable structures are configured as described above,
Since the spacer (4) remains on the panel surface even after deployment, the spacer (4) was placed at the edge of the panel.

ところが打上げ時の振動により各パネル(1)が互いに

However, there was a drawback in that the panels (1) collided with each other due to vibrations during launch, causing damage to the panel surfaces.

This invention was made to improve this drawback.
By attaching two leaf springs to the panel, one end of which is fixed to the panel edge and several panel-width spacers attached, we prevent collisions between the panels and prevent spacers from remaining on the panel surface after deployment. The purpose of this invention is to provide a deployable structure.

以下この発明の一実施例を図によって説明する。An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
