A locking mechanism

A locking mechanism (1) comprising:

• a body (2) located on an air vehicle;
• at least one useful load (F) located on the body (2);
• at least one launcher (3) located on the body (2), which enables the launch and/or release of the useful loads (F) contained therein;
• a trigger (4) which contacts the useful load (F) on the launcher (3) and allows the useful loads (F) to be launched and/or released from the body (2);
• a rod (5) extending longitudinally in the launcher (3), wherein when the trigger (4) is moved, the rod (5) moves on an axis that the launcher (3) extends;
• an arm (6) that is in contact with the rod (5);
• a first spring (7) located on the rod (5), which allows the rod (5) to be triggered when the energy stored thereon is released;
• a tab (8) extending outward from the arm (6) to hold the useful load (F);
• and
• wherein the trigger (4) has an open position (I), wherein when the trigger (4) is triggered by the user, the trigger (4) pulls the rod (5) to allow the arm (6) to release the useful load (F), thus breaking the contact between the tab (8) and the useful load (F), and a locked position (II), wherein the trigger (4) is pushed by the user in contact with the useful load (F) so as to activate the rod (5), thereby allowing the tab (8) on the arm (6) to come into contact with the useful load (F), wherein the trigger (4) is brought from the open position (I) to the locked position (II) by a rotation thereof.
