ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a device for unlocking a system for fixing sub-munitions on board a carrier, namely any flying vehicle (such as a rocket, missile, stand-off missile etc.). Each sub-munition is held on the body of the carrier by a movable holding clamp fixed to the sub-munition locked by a rod against which there lies a roller fixed to the end of the movable holding clamp. A pneumatic system formed by a piston activates the rod comprising different parts with different widths and diameters so that its step part, on which the roller lies, is translated and leaves place for its central part, in such a way that the movable holding clamp can pivot around the shaft, thus releasing the sub-munition.
