About this document
Parachute Release Mechanism Patent by PENANT is a document available to read on EtoBox.
1) This patent describes an improved parachute release mechanism for aerial torpedoes. 2) The mechanism uses a hydraulic timing device to positively lock an inertia weight for 0.8-2.8 seconds after parachute opening, preventing premature releases during parachute stabilization. 3) The timing device includes a piston that is urged upward over time by a spring, discharging fluid through an aperture and delaying movement of the inertia weight until stabilization is complete.
