Abstract
An incremental deployment device is provided. The incremental deployment device may include a first member with a slotted track having alternating deployment and braking segments, as well as a second member that is movably coupled with the first member and that includes a cam follower that is configured to travel within the slotted track. The deployment segments may be configured to allow relative movement between the first member and the second member with little resistance, whereas the braking segments may be configured to permit relative movement between the first member and the second member with much greater resistance or to not permit any relative movement between the first member and the second member at all. Thus, the first member and the second member may be allowed to accelerate relative to one another within the deployment segments, and are decelerated within the braking segments.
