A mechanism for rapidly uncoupling for use in the spacecraft.

摘要

In order to connect together two assemblies under - (12,14) which must be able to be disassembled quickly, it uses a mechanism comprising two rods (36,44) arranged end to end and normally secured in rotation and translation by unlockable connecting means (56,64). A first (36) of these rods is mounted in a cylinder (14) connected to a first - assembly and comprises an operating head (38) which is accessible from outside the cylinder. The second rod (44) comprises a thread (50) is screwed onto the second assembly under - (12). This arrangement makes it possible to easily mount the mechanism actuating the operating head (38). A piston (20) mounted in the cylinder (14) controlling the unlocking of the connecting means.
