Abstract
An arrangement for the unlatching and extension of the stabilizing fins or control surfaces of a projectile, including a power element which is effective in the longitudinal direction of the projectile for pressing a follower against camming or runoff edges located proximate hinged connections at the fin footings, after a latching for the stabilizing fin in the region of their end surfaces has been released. The power element causes a latching crown or ring to be raised away from the end surfaces of the stabilizing fins opposite the force of a spring through the longitudinal movement of a connecting or pusher rod prior to the pusher rod engaging behind the follower and then pressing against the runoff or camming edges.
