ABSTRACT:
An ejector release unit comprising a pair of hooks for supporting a store and an ejection device for ejecting a store supported by the hooks also includes, adjacent each hook, a sway brace assembly comprising a pair of pads for engagement with the upper surface of a store supported by the hooks, the pads being so mounted that during loading of a store they are free to yield, but at the completion of loading are locked firmly in position in contact with the surface of the store by way of irreversible mechanical connections exerting a thrust on the pads and resisting reverse movement. Each irreversible connection includes a slideable member having an end surface co-operating with a wedge-shaped surface on a vertically slideable member. The vertically slideable members may be held in an upper position against the effect of a downward bias by a latch engaging recesses in the sides of the members and withdrawn simultaneously by an interlock linkage coordinated with the locking of the hooks in the closed position, whereafter the members move downwardly to engage and lock the respective slideable members and hence the pads.
