Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0691520A1] A releasable coupling enables two cylindrical cartridges (1a,1b), at least one contg. propellant explosive while the other may include a missile, to be rigidly connected together before loading into a fun barrel. The end of cartridge (1a) carries a resilient plastic ring (12) which is slidable axially forwards to engage a second ring (19) fixed to the matching end of cartridge (1b), outer lip (18) on ring (12) then latching under inward facing flange (20) on ring (19) to lock the cartridges together. The axial movement of ring (12) is restricted by an inner lip (14) thereon engaging a flange (11) on a collar (9) which slidably supports ring (12) on cartridge (1a). The outer surface of ring (12) is so shaped that as the cartridges are loaded into the barrel ring (12) is radially compressed to unhook lip (18) from flange (20), while an inner lip (16) on ring (12) is able to hook onto an outward facing flange (21) on ring (19). Should the cartridges now be withdrawn from the barrel instead of being fired, cartridge (1b) is pulled along behind cartridge (1a) but released therefrom once ring (12) comes clear of the barrel and resumes its original shape. <IMAGE>
