ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for locking and unlocking a safety for subammunition bodies is part of and mounted in a subammunition container secured to a carrier such as an aircraft body. The subammunition container is permanently attached to the carrier and not intended to be dropped. One section of the device includes a housing (3) containing a release mechanism (4), a computer (5) and a power source (6). The housing (3) is secured inside the carrier (1) at the bottom side thereof. Another section of the device includes the safety device (14) or (25) and the setting or operating mechanism (9). The safety device and the operating mechanism are mounted in the container (2) for the subammunition. The safety device includes a pin (8) that can be moved by a solenoid between two positions. A loop (7) at one end of a rope pull (18) loops around the pin (8) which holds the loop in a first position with a smaller force and in a second position with a larger force. The other end of the rope is connected to the safety device for unlocking the safety device with the aid of the setting or operating mechanism (9) which includes a piston cylinder device for operating the rope pull (18).
