CONNECTING-DISCONNECTING MECHANISM Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering; connection of parts. SUBSTANCE: connecting-disconnecting mechanism has two parts mounted coaxially, connecting member made is form of split deformable ring laid in matched circular grooves at initial radial pressure for several pairs of mutually perpendicular rods mounted symmetrically. Radial rod of each pair is mounted for motion in radial passage resting against end surface of longitudinal rod partially mounted in longitudinal passage of end of male part for motion. Other end surfaces of each longitudinal rod rest against flexible members mounted in passages of male part. circular groove of male part may be provided with split ring fitted coaxially relative to split deformable ring in front of it. This ring is made from material possessing higher strength as compared with that of split deformable ring. EFFECT: probability of connecting and disconnecting parts with no access to joint taking up impact loads. 2 cl, 2 dwg
