BLAST ACTIVATED QUICK-DISCONNECT APPARATUS

摘要

Blast activated quick-disconnect apparatus in cooperation with a quick disconnect device including a two-piece body with a longitudinally movable collar surrounding a portion of each of the two pieces, the collar holding the two pieces together in a first position and separating the two pieces in a second or activated position. The apparatus including mounting apparatus fixedly attaching the quick disconnect device to a vehicle to be protected from physical shock or concussion, a mass affixed to the movable collar of the two-piece body, a spring having one end abutting the mass, and a spring stop formed as one of a portion of the mounting apparatus or a separate component. The spring being designed to provide a bias on the mass that prevents movement of the mass and collar into the activated position during accelerations in a normal use range.

1. In cooperation with a quick disconnect device including a two-piece body with a longitudinally movable collar surrounding a portion of each of the two pieces, the collar holding the two pieces together in a first position and separating the two pieces in a second or activated position, blast activated quick-disconnect apparatus comprising:
mounting apparatus fixedly attaching the quick disconnect device to a vehicle to be protected from physical shock or concussion; the movable collar including a mass; a spring having one end abutting the mass; and a spring stop formed as one of a portion of the mounting apparatus or a separate component, the spring stop engaged with an opposite end of the spring and holding the spring in a biasing position against the mass, the spring being designed to provide a bias on the mass that prevents movement of the mass and collar into the activated position during accelerations in a normal use range.
