Centrifugal ball cam locking device

摘要

A plurality of inertially responsive balls are disposed intermediate a housing of a spin stabilized projectile and a critically angled cam incline member for preventing the shift of stacked cargo during projectile flight. The combination of projectile spin and critical cam angle of the incline member is used to provide centrifugal and holding forces of sufficient magnitude to produce a self-locking taper effect which restricts loose stacked cargo members from causing destabilization and reduction in projectile range.
