ABSTRACT:
A pair of locking members to releasably lock a rocket in a launch tube. Each locking member has a forward end engaging the rocket and a rear end engaging the tube. A retaining strut engages the two rear ends of the locking members to hold the locking members in locking engagement. When the rocket is fired, the exhaust from the rocket moves the retaining strut out of retaining engagement to permit leaf springs on the locking members to pivot the locking members out of locking engagement and permit the rocket to move out of the tube.
