Abstract

An aeronautical conveying and release device, actuated by a cartridge, includes a housing provided in a body having a recess having an open end and a bottom, a cartridge adapter configured to close the recess and forming a chamber capable of housing the cartridge, an indicator movably mounted between first and second positions. The cartridge adapter includes a bolt configured to be screwed into the housing so that in the presence of the cartridge, the bolt can be screwed to a first depth where the bolt abuts against the cartridge, the cartridge being in abutment against the bottom of the recess, and in the absence of a cartridge, the bolt can be screwed to a second depth, greater than the first, and the bolt at the first depth prohibits the first position for the indicator, while the bolt at the second depth leaves the indicator free to move.

Abstract

A projectile launcher includes: a storage and launching tube suitable for receiving a projectile; a breech sealing one end of the tube; a thruster arranged in the tube between the breech and the projectile, comprising a pressurized gas reserve and suitable for applying an ejection force to a projectile; a plug blocking the other end of the tube, having a locked configuration, in which the plug engages the internal wall of the tube so as to close the tube and to keep the projectile in the tube, and an unlocked configuration, in which the plug is free relative to the tube; and a trigger having a retracted resting configuration and a deployed configuration, suitable for triggering, causing the plug to pass from the locked configuration to the unlocked configuration; wherein the trigger is pneumatic and is supplied with pressure by the reserve.
