ABSTRACT:
A safety device for preventing an airborne charge (1) from being armed prior to being dropped, said charge being armed by a draw wire (4) connected to the aircraft applying traction to an arming cable (3) connected to the charge. The safety device comprises a clamping assembly (2) through which the arming cable (2) passes freely while the clamping assembly is open and is clamped thereto when the clamping assembly is closed. The clamping assembly (2) comprises first and second parts (5, 7) which are movable relative to each other in the traction direction (T) of the draw wire (4), with said first part (5) being a "fixed" part which is fixed to the charge by threshold releasable fixing means (6a, 6b) sensitive to traction in said traction direction (T), and said second part (7) being slidably mounted to move relative to the charge in said traction direction (T), and being connected to the draw wire (4).
