<p>LOCKING DEVICE A mechanical locking device includes multiple components that must move before axial travel of a load exerting component becomes unblocked. Such elements include a main lock means that is radially movable to unblock said axial travel; axially movable holder means that blocks radial movement of the main, lock means; radially movable trigger means that blocks axial movement of the holder means; and release structure blocking radial movement of the trigger means. At least one and preferably both of the main lock means and of the trigger means comprises multiple elements spaced apart about the device axis for independent radial movement, such elements typically being caged for such independent movement.</p> |
