ABSTRACT:
A hand-held and hand-operated gripping device for extracting live rockets from rocket launch tubes is disclosed. The device has the ability to engage and grip an extraction bar extending across the exhaust end of a rocket motor and extract the rocket from the launch tube by a straight pulling action along the axis of the rocket. Jaws of the rocket extracting device are pivotally held on a frame member and are resiliently biased open. The jaws are closed by movement of a separate elongated finger grip bar toward a parallel bar of the frame member while the finger grip bar is in engagement with convergent cam faces of the pivoted jaws. The finger grip bar is captively held in free-floating relationship to the jaws and frame member.
