The invention relates to a fin deployment mechanism (1) comprising a base unit (3), deployable fins (8) movably arranged on the base unit (3) and, in the retracted position, bearing against the base unit (3), as well as a gas-generating device, in which the fins in the retracted position are fixed to the base unit, and in which at least one gas duct (6, 7) is arranged in the base unit (3) so as to conduct pressurized gas generated by the gas-generating device to the bottom side of the fins (8), which in the retracted position bear against the base unit (3), in order to create a force which acts on the fins (8) for deployment of the same (8′). The invention further relates to an artillery projectile comprising a fin deployment mechanism.

1. A fin deployment mechanism comprising a base unit, wherein the base unit has a flat surface,deployable fins movably arranged on the base unit, connected by an axle to the base unit and rotatable about the axle and, in a retracted position, bearing against the base unit, as well as a gas-generatin
1. A fin deployment mechanism comprising a base unit, wherein the base unit has a flat surface,deployable fins movably arranged on the base unit, connected by an axle to the base unit and rotatable about the axle and, in a retracted position, bearing against the base unit, as well as a gas-generating device, wherein the fins in the retracted position are fixed to the flat surface of the base unit,and in that at least one gas duct is arranged in the base unit so as to conduct pressurized gas generated by the gas-generating device to a bottom side of the fins bearing in the retracted position against the base unit, in order to create a force which acts on the fins for deployment of the fins, wherein the fins are fixed to the base unit and bear against an outer radius of the base unit, and wherein the at least one gas duct is a groove or recess in the flat surface of the base unit and the length of the at least one gas duct in the longitudinal direction of the base unit is 2 to 80 times the width of the at least one gas duct. 2. The fin deployment mechanism according to claim 1, wherein the fins are fixed to the base unit with chemical binding agent. 3. The fin deployment mechanism according to claim 2, wherein the chemical binding agent is a thermosetting plastic. 4. The fin deployment mechanism according to claim 3, wherein at least one groove is made in the fins in order in the retracted position to conduct gas created by the gas-generating device to the gas ducts. 5. The fin deployment mechanism according to claim 2, wherein at least one groove is made in the fins in order in the retracted position to conduct gas created by the gas-generating device to the gas ducts. 6. The fin deployment mechanism according to claim 1, wherein a ring formed of combustible material is arranged to hold the fins, in the retracted position, fixed to the base unit. 7. The fin deployment mechanism according to claim 6, wherein the ring is made of propellant. 8. The fin deployment mechanism according to claim 7, wherein at least one groove is made in the fins in order in the retracted position to conduct gas created by the gas-generating device to the gas ducts. 9. The fin deployment mechanism according to claim 6, wherein at least one groove is made in the fins in order in the retracted position to conduct gas created by the gas-generating device to the gas ducts. 10. The fin deployment mechanism according to claim 1, wherein the fins are fixed to the base unit with a shear stud mounted between the fins and the base unit. 11. The fin deployment mechanism according to claim 10, wherein at least one groove is made in the fins in order in the retracted position to conduct gas created by the gas-generating device to the gas ducts. 12. The fin deployment mechanism according to claim 1, wherein the fins are fixed to the base unit with a soldered joint. 13. The fin deployment mechanism according to claim 12, wherein at least one groove is made in the fins in order in the retracted position to conduct gas created by the gas-generating device to the gas ducts. 14. The fin deployment mechanism according to claim 1, wherein at least one groove is made in the fins in order in the retracted position to conduct gas created by the gas-generating device to the gas ducts. 15. The fin deployment mechanism according to claim 1, wherein the number of gas ducts is two per fin. 16. The fin deployment mechanism according to claim 1, wherein the number of fins is two or more in number. 17. The fin deployment mechanism according to claim 1, wherein the number of fins is six in number. 18. The fin deployment mechanism according to claim 1, wherein the depth of the gas ducts in the radial direction from the outer radius of the base unit in towards the center is 2 to 50 times the width of the gas ducts. 19. An artillery projectile comprising a fin deployment mechanism, which comprises a base unit, wherein the base unit has a flat surface,deployable fins movably arranged on the base unit, connected by an axle to the base unit and rotatable about the axle and, in a retracted position, bearing against the base unit, as well as a gas-generating device, wherein the fins in the retracted position are fixed to the flat surface of the base unit,and in that at least one gas duct is arranged in the base unit so as to conduct pressurized gas generated by the gas-generating device to a bottom side of the fins bearing in the retracted position against the base unit, in order to create a force which acts on the fins for deployment of the fins, wherein the fins are fixed to the base unit and bear against an outer radius of the base unit, and wherein the at least one gas duct is a groove or recess in the flat surface of the base unit and the length of the at least one gas duct in the longitudinal direction of the base unit is 2 to 80 times the width of the at least one gas duct.
