A device is disclosed for sequencing the deployment of a deployable
structure comprising a first body, at least one second body mobile
relative to the first body, and at least one third body mobile relative
to either the first body or the second body and disposed, in an at least
partially folded position of the structure, against or between the first
and second bodies. The device comprises a first member fixedly mounted on
the third body and preventing its deployment when it is immobilized and a
second member mounted on the second body and immobilizing the first
member until the second body has effected a selected portion of a
kinematic that drives it from an initial position to a final position.
