Definitions

  • the present invention relates to openable n arrangements for self-propelled projectiles yshot from a launching tube, which implies that the fins of the Ifin-arrangement must be folded toward the axis of the projectile to permit the latter to travel through the tube, the fins opening out or unfolding as soon as the projectile leaves the tube.
  • the invention more particularly relates to a iin arrangement of the type in which the ns open out by pivoting in longitudinal radial planes about pivot 4axes which are orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the fin arrangement and located toward the forward ends of the fins, the forward direction corresponding to the direction of motion of the projectile on its trajectory.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an arrangement of this type which is so improved as to be simple in construction and faultless in operation.
  • the iin arrangement according to the invention comprises fins combined with a thrust device which is concentric with and movable along the longitudinal axis of the iin arrangement between a forward position in which the ns are folded back and a rear position in which the fins ⁇ are opened out and maintained in this opened out or unfolded position by the thrust device, the latter being combined with means for exerting thereon an axial thrust which tends to shift the thrust device from the forward position to the rear position.
  • the thrust device comprises a series of pistons or push-rods movable in cylindrical apertures formed in a iin support, the axes of the apertures being parallel with the longitudinal laxis of the fin arrangement, the thrust device further comprising a ring concentric with the axis of the iin arrangement and interposed between the push-rods and fins.
