ABSTRACT:
A missile launcher and missile snubbing apparatus (32) includes a pair snubber blocks (34, 36) slideable along angled side edges of a wedge (38). The snubber blocks (34, 36) are biased by respective springs (48, 50) in a first direction, while the wedge (38) is biased in an opposite direction by a spring (84). A spring biased cam (86) is operative to move the wedge (38) in a direction to reduce the effective width of the snubber block assembly (32) so that a missle can be downloaded from the rear of the launcher (10). A spring clip (85) is engageable with a rod (43) attached to the block (38), and responsive to the action of the cam (86) for locking the wedge (38) in a first position. The spring clip (85) is shaped so as to be responsive to the downloading of the missile (12) for releasing the locked wedge (38).
