Joint mechanism allows truss structure to be folded and stowed in small space. Mechanism includes hinge attached to two truss elements connected by two links, tension bar, and compression bar. When folded elements are released, springs in joint mechanism rotate truss elements about hinge and lock mechanism to form single member. Developed for structures erected in space (antennas, solar panels, solar sails, and masts), joint mechanism adaptable to window-opening struts, folding furniture and television antennas.
