ABSTRACT:
A separation mechanism for detaching an aerodynamic braking device, especially a parachute, from a load with the separation mechanism being adapted to be connected to at least one suspension element of the braking device and the load and, upon relief, being adapted to automatically release at least one of the suspension elements. The separation mechanism is constructed as a closed system and includes at least two holding members movable relative to each other with the holding members forming at least part of an enclosure, closed along its entire periphery, for defining an opening through which the suspension element to be released is extended. The holding members are locked against each other in a closed position of the closed system with the locking mechanism being adapted to be released by stress exerted on the suspension element. The holding members are constructed so that even after a release of the locking mechanism, the suspension element to be released is held under the stress of at least one of the holding members and can be released only after a relief of the stress.
