Fail-safe mechanical code convertor, munition arming device using same, and method of transmitting coded mechanical inputs

摘要

A mechanical code convertor, munition arming device using same, and method of transmitting coded mechanical inputs are provided wherein such code convertor has an input member adapted to receive complementary mechanical driving movements, a mechanically locked output member, and apparatus mechanically connected between the input and output members for unlocking the locked output member and providing a desired motion thereof in response to correctly coded mechanical driving movements while maintaining such output member mechanically locked in response to incorrectly coded mechanical driving movements.
