ABSTRACT:
A caging mechanism for caging the inner gimbal of a directional gyroscope to a horizontal position. Depression of an actuator rod turns a caging disc which is simultaneously moved linearly toward the inner gimbal by an angled ramp surface. A pair of pins pushed by the disc have enlarged heads that act against cams on the inner gimbal to provide the caging action. The actuator rod is equipped with an override spring that cushions the caging force and permits additional depression of the rod for caging of the outer gimbal.
