PASSIVE JAM EJECTOR Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC F41H1/02 

FIELD: aircraft engineering.

SUBSTANCE: proposed device comprises box-like case rigidly secured at aircraft airframe to carry electronic module for generation of jam cartridge actuating pulses and replaceable cassette fasteners, device to transmit said jam cartridge actuating pulses and jam cartridge device guides. Note here that the base of said base has the assemblies of fasting of said case to aircraft and assemblies of replaceable contact modules. Protective controlled flaps are arranged at the case outer surface. Linear electric drives are mounted at the case sidewalls to open said flaps before ejection of jam cartridges and to close than after ejection. Jam cartridge guides are composed by a set of replaceable cassettes including seats of jam cartridges of various design and purpose. Said device to transmit said jam cartridge actuating pulses is composed of the set of assemblies of replaceable contact modules with contact assemblies. The latter comprises three spring-loaded contacts to allow the electric contact with appropriate jam cartridge. Note here that the number and location of contact assembly in replaceable contact module complies with those of jam cartridge in replaceable cassette.

EFFECT: higher efficiency of protection against guided missiles.
