Safety arming device for missiles - has rotary type solenoid having stem with end part positionable angularly to restrain jaws against opening

摘要

The safety arming solenoid is for use with missiles. Pivoted jaws, retain the end of an arming wire or cable that connects to the missile. A solenoid controls opening of the jaws. The solenoid is a rotary type having a stem with an end part positionable angularly to restrain the jaws against opening or to release them. In a modified form a second coil is provided so that the solenoid armature has linear as well as angular motion for actuating the jaws in response to linear movement.
