ABSTRACT:
A function or operational element which is pivotable about a first axis from a rest position into a work position and articulated at a support or carrier member can be positionally arrested by means of an arresting device. The arresting device comprises a bracket secured to the function element and a pawl pivotable about a second axis. In the arrested position a substantially arcuate-shaped end surface of the pawl contacts at a given point a slide or contact surface of the bracket. Due to the particular arrangement of the second axis to the first axis and the spaced arrangement of the center of the end surface eccentrically to the second axis it is possible to exactly position the function element and to self-lockingly fix such in a predetermined position. This arresting device is particularly suitable for use with automatically pivotable antenna on space vehicles with subsequent self-arresting.
