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 in form of split deformable ring laid in matched circular grooves at initial radial pressure for several pairs of mutually perpendicular symmetrical rods. 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 face of male part for motion. Other end surfaces of each longitudinal rod rest against flexible members mounted in passages of male part. Longitudinal rod is provided with longitudinal through passage and is connected with piston having longitudinal through passage; piston rests against flexible member fitted in longitudinal passage of male part. EFFECT: repeated connection and disconnection of parts without access to joint taking up impact loads. 1 dwg
