Maverick igniter cable saver

摘要

A maverick igniter cable saver employs a longitudinal housing having a first portion, a second portion, an outer surface, an inner surface, a forward end, and an aft end. The inner surface of the first portion is configured to snap fasten substantially around an igniter cable. The second portion has off-setting tapered tabs. Each of the tapered tabs has a proximal end and a distal end. The distal ends are interfaces configured to friction-fit in an umbilical slot groove.

主权项

1. An interface clip between a rocket motor igniter cable and an umbilical slot groove, the interface clip comprising:
a longitudinal housing having a substantially U-shaped first portion, a second portion, an outer surface, an inner surface, a forward end, and an aft end; wherein said first portion is configured to snap fasten substantially around the rocket motor igniter cable; wherein said second portion having two outwardly flaring tabs extending from said first portion, wherein each of said two outwardly flaring tabs having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein said distal ends are interfaces configured to friction-fit in the umbilical slot groove; wherein each of said two outwardly flaring tabs having corresponding substantially rectangular portions integrally molded at said aft end and extending substantially perpendicular to the outwardly flaring tabs, each of said corresponding substantially rectangular portions spanning from said first portion to respective said distal ends of said second portion; wherein said distal ends of said second portion each have outwardly protruding radiuses spanning from the forward end to respective said corresponding substantially rectangular portions; wherein said two outwardly flaring tabs are configured to squeeze together from a first position to a second position upon an external force against said outer surface of said second portion on said outwardly flaring tabs to allow the interface clip to be inserted into the umbilical slot groove.
