ABSTRACT:
A separation device for releasing parachutes from loads enables an attacht to be made between the parachute and the load before the load is dropped and when the load reaches the ground the load is automatically released from the parachute by operation of the device.
The device consists of a hook-shaped body attachable to the parachute lines, the load lines being located in the hook. An ejector member is spring urged towards an ejection position of the load lines and a holding element serves to prevent ejection until after the parachute has operated. While falling, tension holds the load lines on the hook and on reaching the ground the ejector member operates to release the lines from the hook.
