This paper proposes a new family of single degree of freedom (DOF) deployable mechanisms derived from the threefold-symmetric deployable Bricard mechanism. The mobility and geometry of original threefold-symmetric deployable Bricard mechanism is first described, from the mobility characterstic of this mechanism, we show that three alternate revolute joints can be replaced by a class of single DOF deployable mechanisms without changing the single mobility characteristic of the resultant mechanisms, therefore leading to a new family of Bricard-derived deployable mechanisms. The computer-aided design (CAD) models are used to demonstrate these derived novel mechanisms. All these mechanisms can be used as the basic modules for constructing large volume deployable mechanisms.
