Abstract

A link assembly (150) is disclosed. The link assembly (150) transmits a force provided by selective operation of a driver (154) to pivotally displace a wing assembly (104) between a folded position and an unfolded position, the link assembly (150) comprising: an inner wing hinge (200) configured to be secured to a first wing (106, 108) of the wing assembly (104), the inner wing hinge (200) including a cam slot (214) and coupled to an inner link pin (218), the cam slot (214) being defined by a cam surface (212); an outer wing hinge (300) configured to be secured to a second wing (106, 108) of the wing assembly (104), the inner wing hinge (200) and the outer wing hinge (300) being configured to be pivotally coupled together by a main pivot pin (153), the outer wing hinge (300) having a latch arm (316) that includes a latch aperture (320); an inner wing link (400) having a link slot (419) defined by at least a link cam surface (416), the link slot (419) configured for slideable and rotatable displacement of the inner wing link (400) about the inner link pin (218), the inner wing link (400) being pivotally coupled to the inner wing hinge (200) by a cam pin (252) that is configured for slideable and rotatable displacement within the cam slot (214) and against a least a portion of the cam surface (212), the inner wing link (400) further configured for pivotal coupling to the driver (154) by a link pin (446), the link slot (419) having a configuration that facilitates the inner link pin (218) being pivotally captured at a first location within the link slot (419) until the cam pin (252) is displaced to a transition point (247) of the cam slot (214); and an outer wing link (500) pivotally coupled to the driver (154) and the inner wing link (400) by the link pin (446) and pivotally coupled to the second wing (106, 108). Furthermore, a method for transmitting a force provided by selective operation of the driver (154) through the link assembly (150) is disclosed.
