Abstract:
1. A deployable structure, comprising: a first semi-rigid surface a first edge, a second edge and a third generally non-linear edge joining the first and second edges, the chord line of the third generally non-linear edge forming less than a right angle with the first edge, the first semi-rigid surface for being rotatably secured to a reference at the first edge to permit the first semi-rigid surface to assume a first position and a second position, and the first semi-rigid surface comprising two joined panels to permit the first semi-rigid surface to be folded when in the first position and unfolded when in the second position; a second semi-rigid surface having a fourth edge, a fifth edge and a sixth generally non-linear edge joining the fourth and fifth edges, the chord line of the sixth generally non-linear edge forming less than a right angle with the fourth edge, the second semi-rigid surface for being rotatably secured to the reference at the fourth edge to permit the second semi-rigid surface to assume a first position and a second position; and the first and second semi-rigid surfaces joined together at their third and sixth generally non-linear edges directly between the surfaces, to permit the first and second semi-rigid surfaces to fold approximately together when the first and second semi-rigid surfaces are in their first positions.
