ABSTRACT:
A no-load missile restraint arrangement for releasing a rocket propelled missile promptly after ignition of its rocket motor, and the expulsion of a nozzle seal from its rocket motor nozzle. An anchor device extends from the aft end of the missile, which is engaged by the nose portion of a pivotable latch member. The latch member has two operative positions, with the nose portion engaging the anchor device until the seal is driven rearwardly at the time of ignition of the rocket motor. An elongate device operatively associated with the latch member is struck by the rapidly moving seal, bringing about the releasing of the latch member such that it can pivot to an anchor-releasing position. In this way the missile is released prior to any substantial buildup of thrust in the rocket motor.
