Abstract

See full text

A device has both a debris deflector and a built in CPA assist. The debris deflector is a (sufficiently) large shield that covers the CPA slot and the CPA in the pre-staged arrangement. The device further includes a CPA assist that is configured to engage the pre-staged CPA (now covered by the debris deflector) so that it can allow the manufacturer to engage the now protected CPA when desired.
