A safety device deployment apparatus includes a housing, a hinge plate pivotally affixed to the housing to pivot around a pin, an actuator linkage assembly having an actuator including a piston, and a crankshaft affixed to the piston through at least a revolute joint and affixed to one of the pin, the hinge plate, and the safety device. The safety device deployment apparatus moves a safety device between a stowed parallel and deployed perpendicular position, relative to the housing, based on extension and retraction of the piston of the actuator. The revolute joint between the piston and crankshaft is disposed in planes on opposite sides of a parallel plane passing through the pin joint based on the extension and retraction of the piston.
