Abstract
An ejection handle separation system is disclosed herein. The ejection handle separation system includes an ejection seat handle, a rotatable component, a cable connected to the handle and coupled to the rotatable component, wherein the rotatable component rotates in response to pulling the ejection seat handle, and an anchor inserted into the rotatable component and configured to releasably connect the cable to the rotatable component.
Claims20
An ejection handle separation system, comprising:
- an ejection seat handle;
- a rotatable component;
- a cable connected to the handle and coupled to the rotatable component, wherein the rotatable component rotates in response to pulling the ejection seat handle;
- and
- an anchor inserted into the rotatable component and configured to releasably connect the cable to the rotatable component.
2 more elements
An ejection handle separation system, comprising:
- an ejection handle;
- a rotatable component including a machined channel formed therein;
- a cable connected at one end to the ejection handle and at an opposing end to the rotatable component, the cable releasably secured to the rotatable component;
- and
- a stationary component disposed over the rotatable component including over the machined channel, the stationary component preventing the cable from separating from the rotatable component when in a first state, wherein the stationary component allows the cable to separate from the rotatable component when in a second state.
