Magnetically releasable target lock.

摘要

A magnetically releasable pin lock which comprises at least one catch element (56) mounted to pivot about axes perpendicular to and displaced from the pin axis (A) and elongated magnetizable actuation elements (60) which extend from the catch elements (56) along the pin axis (A) to be acted upon by applied magnetic decoupling fields and to move in response to such fields to pivot the catch elements (56) and release the pin (62).
