ABSTRACT:
This automatic wedging device for operating each ejector of loads carried under an aircraft for jettisoning comprises at least one actuator of the cylinder-and-piston or worm-and-wheel type adapted to transmit a wedging force to a pair of symmetrical load-engaging wedging levers, and a device for automatically operating each actuator when the load is properly positioned in relation to the aircraft; other devices are provided for locking the wedging levers when this force has attained a predetermined value and restoring the wedging levers to their inoperative position after the load has been jettisoned as a consequence of the opening of the load suspension hooks.
