ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are a quick release device and a release technique. The device comprises a pair of members or sections which are releasably joined together. These members have opposed surfaces, which in turn have aligned indentations or grooves that form an opening for a radially expandable actuator. Pressurization of the actuator, preferably by an explosive charge therein, forces the two members apart and breaks the joint, allowing the members to separate. The device can take various forms, for example, a valve or a link.
