With energy means which is offset, a method and apparatus for linear combination and separation of the two elements

摘要

method and apparatus according to the present invention, opposite the coupling means located between the two coupling surfaces (12, 22) (11), thermite (24 located on the outer wall of the outer element (2) ) using a first element (1) and the second element (2 two respective) coupling surfaces (12, 22) (two which are fixed to each other via a conical shape) in this example to allow the linear separation of elements. Electrical triggering of the thermite (24) causes a rapid and localized heating at the coupling means (11). The coupling means, after dissolution, to enable separation of the two elements. Application to the separation of the two elements of the aviation launch padFIELD 3
