ACTIVATION MECHANISM FOR A PERSONAL LOCATOR BEACON

摘要

A key ring (160) is attached by a lanyard to part of an air craft. Upon the air crew ejecting a leash retains the pull pin (120) within the air craft to remove the pin from the housing (140). This activates a personal locator beacon. Removal of the pin (120) allows a plunger switch extending upwardly from the locator beacon to be released to activate the beacon.
