Abstract
A biasing system for an actuator. The system includes a lock sleeve, a lock shaft, a tine having a tine finger extending along a longitudinal axis, a biasing member and a biasing spring. The biasing member and biasing spring are configured to maintain a position of the tine finger away from the longitudinal axis in the direction of the lock sleeve when the lock shaft and the lock sleeve are deployed, in use, such that, when the lock sleeve is returned, the tine finger is biased against the lock sleeve to prevent the lock sleeve from returning to a locked position before the lock shaft is able to return to a locked position.
