ABSTRACT:
A zero-play pin clevis joint for deployable space structures includes a tapered pin and tapered bores extending through a shackle and through a tang such that the tapered pin is received in the tapered bores. Spring washers urge the tapered pin into the tapered bores of the shackle and also urge the tang onto the tapered pin. Deployable truss structures use a plurality of the aforementioned zero play pin clevis joints to connect a plurality of truss tubes. The angle of taper for the various components is preferably about 12.degree. included angle.
