LOCKING MECHANISMS AND ACTUATOR ASSEMBLIES OF COAXIAL LOCKED REMOTELY AT SELECTED LOCATIONS AFTER MOTIONS OF A NEARLY COMPLETE CIRCUMFERENTIAL ONE PIECE CHAMFERED LOCKING RING

摘要

A locking mechanism for coaxial load carrying members is described, which utilizes a one piece split, chamfered locking ring as a locking member between the load carrying members. Application of predetermined loads to the load carrying members releases the locking ring from its locking condition by flexure of the ring.
