ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns a releasing mechanism for a parachute which is stowed in a container held closed by a safety string against the pulling force of a preloaded spring. This safety string is fixed to a container and can be released by action of an energy storage, e.g. a detonator or a preloaded spring. The energy set free by controlled ignition or triggering can either destroy or release the safety string.
