ABSTRACT:
For suspending a sub-munition from a plate carried beneath a parachute, an arm is hinged with the plate and the body of the munition, and a structure has two positions for which the sub-munition is respectively vertical or inclined. The structure also includes a system of guiding the tilting between the two positions. The center of gravity of the sub-munition moves downwards on a vertical line during tilting of the sub-munition to an inclined position. The device forming the subject of the invention enables the swinging caused by tilting the sub-munition into an inclined position to be avoided, and it is simple and economical to manufacture.
