The apparatus may contain an activating line attached with the latch member, and activating member, operatively associated with the activating line, for activating the latch member. In the preferred embodiment, the latch member comprises a first member mounted on the plate, with the member having an opening therein, a second member mounted on the plate, with the member having an opening therein, and a third member mounted on the plate, with the member having an opening therein. A load pin is placed within the openings. A fulcrum point is provided so that the load pin may be pivoted for latching and unlatching. A gravity centering system is also included that allows for a single point release system.
