ABSTRACT:
A latching mechanism is disclosed which features a bi-directionally movable controlled inclined plane that engages a ball bearing on its inclined surface. When the inclined plane moves in a first direction, the ball bearing moves upward through a cylindrical slot to engage a connecting ring to which a towline is attached; and when the inclined plane moves in the opposite direction, the ball bearing rotates, drops downward through the slot and releases the ring and towline.
