Abstract: A clamp for internally coupling and decoupling two components. The clamp can include a base fittable within an interior of at least one of two components to be coupled together. The clamp can also include an engagement member movably supported about the base. The engagement member can interface with and engage interior portions of the two components when in a coupled position separated from the interior portions of the two components when in a decoupled position. The clamp can further include a wedge movably supported about the base to facilitate movement of the engagement member between the coupled and the decoupled positions. In addition, the clamp can include a secure and release mechanism operable with the base and the wedge to alternately secure the wedge to maintain the engagement member in the coupled position and release the wedge to facilitate movement of the engagement member to the decoupled position.
Abstract translation: 用于内部耦合和去耦两个组件的夹具。 夹具可以包括可装配在要联接在一起的两个部件中的至少一个的内部的基部。 夹具还可以包括围绕基座可移动地支撑的接合构件。 当处于分离位置时,当处于与两个部件的内部部分分离的联接位置时,接合构件可以与两个部件的内部部分接合并接合。 夹具还可包括围绕基座可移动地支撑的楔子,以便于接合构件在联接位置和解耦位置之间移动。 此外,夹具可以包括可与基部和楔形件一起操作的固定和释放机构,以交替地固定楔形件以将接合构件保持在联接位置并释放楔块以便于接合构件移动到解耦位置。

Abstract: A container is used to launch a small aircraft, such as an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), from a host aircraft. The container protects the UAV from stresses during the initial ejection from a launcher that is part of the host aircraft. The initial stresses may be due to turbulence in the vicinity of the host aircraft, high airspeed, and/or tumbling that may result from the ejection from the host aircraft moving at a high airspeed. The container may deploy a drag device, such as a drogue chute, to slow the container down and reorient the container, prior to deployment of the UAV from the container. During the time between ejection from the host aircraft and deployment from the container, the UAV may be powered up and acquire data, such as global positioning system (GPS) data, to allow the UAV a “hot start” enabling immediate mission commencement.
