ABSTRACT:
The invention is a low shock detachment device that includes an expandable latch with a plurality of fingers. The anterior surface of each finger has a stud-mating mechanism. A mechanism for repositioning each finger from a closed position to an open position is provided. A stud with a head and a stem is provided. The stem has a finger-mating mechanism sized and shaped to mate to the stud-mating mechanism on each finger. A first housing sized to slideably receive the stud is also provided. A second housing holds the plurality of fingers. The first and second housings have a mechanism that permits attachment to a structure. The first housing is attached to the second housing when the stud-mating mechanism of each finger interlocks with the finger-mating mechanism of the stud. The repositioning of each finger from the closed position to the open position by an explosive charge separates the housings. The abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.
