ABSTRACT:
A restraining mechanism for a gimbal in a gyroscopically-stabilized seeker in a cannon-launched projectile is shown to consist of a movable latch, so shaped and disposed that relative longitudinal motion between the gimbal and the body of such projectile is prevented during the launching phase, and a release mechanism whereby the movable latch is cleared of the gimbal after the launching phase.
