ABSTRACT:
The disclosed deployable lattice column includes a plurality of longeron elements connected together and reinforced by lateral elements including both diagonal members and battens. The diagonal members are cross-connected between laterally opposed points along the longerons and define a bay of the column by the spacing of their attachment points. Adjacent bays of the column substantially overlap each other. By this overlapping relationship, should one of the diagonal elements fail, the strength of the column is substantially maintained by the adjacent, overlapping diagonal elements. Preferably, the longeron elements are integral, coilable elastic members.
