摘要： An apparatus can comprise multiple links, the multiple links comprising at least a first link, a second link, a third link, and a base link, each of the multiple links comprising a rigid sheet, the first link being hingedly coupled to the second link via a first joint, the second link being hingedly coupled to the third link via a second joint, the third link being hingedly coupled to the base link via a third joint, the base link being hingedly coupled to the first link via a fourth joint. The multiple links defining at least a portion of a cylinder when the apparatus is in a stowed position, the first joint, second joint, third joint, and fourth joint being aligned parallel to each other and aligned parallel to a longitudinal axis of the cylinder.
