Abstract

A pivoting guidance mechanism for small-calibered projectiles, missiles or small bombs with fins, which are form-fittingly fixed and axially oriented within a housing, are pivotable transverse to the longitudinal axis and guided in longitudinal slots in the housing, and which include a slider for extending the fins which is actuatable through a pretensioned, central coil spring.
