SYSTEM OF SEPARATION OF PAYLOAD OF SPHERICAL SHAPE Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC B64G1/64 

FIELD: the invention refers to means of docking of spaceships and their separation from each other.

SUBSTANCE: the proposed system has a holding arrangement installed between a carrying construction and a payload, a foundation fixed on the carrying construction, a lock and supports. The supports have spring pushers installed on the foundation and oriented to the center of the payload. The axle of one of these pushers deviates from the radial direction to the center. The lock includes a four-link chain fixed on the foundation and having two pairs of pivotally connected levers. One ends of the levers are provided with grippers interacting with a ring bead of a pin fixed on the body of the payload. Their other ends are connected with the foundation with the aid of a stretching spring and are provided with a rocker installed on them. The rocker is held on the foundation with the aid of two planks from two sides. Each of the plank is connected with fireworks and the supports are fulfilled in the shape of stops contacting with retaliatory units of the body of the payload. One of the support is provided with a spring pusher which has possibility of synchronizing its turning with the turning of the payload. From the other side of this pusher there are on the foundation profile units of turning interacting with responsive profile units on the body of the payload.

EFFECT: increases an angle speed of rotation of the payload at its separation, increases reliability of separation and decreases dynamic loads.
