PARACHUTE AUTO-RELEASER Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC B64D17/38 

FIELD: aviation.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to aviation, namely to parachute-landing equipment, to devices for automatic disconnection of a parachute system from a landing object at the time of its landing, in particular to parachute auto-releasers operating on a principle of weakening efforts in an “object – parachute” system. A parachute auto-releaser contains a case and a locking and starting mechanism placed in it, a locking mechanism interacting with a bushing of the locking and starting mechanism, a release mechanism interacting with its piston by means of a locking pin with the bushing of the locking and starting mechanism. Marks are made on the bushing and on the locking pin, and an inspection window is made in the case, containing a mark that is combined simultaneously with the mark on the bushing and on the locking pin of the release mechanism.

EFFECT: purpose of the invention is to increase the reliability and controllability of the auto-releaser by providing objective visual pre-flight control of its preparation for use (“readiness to work”), as well as final control in the cargo cabin of the aircraft before landing: the correct installation of the locking pin of the auto-releaser release mechanism (the correct locking of the auto-releaser release mechanism in the position: “readiness of the auto-releaser to work”).
