ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A mechanical device is provided to link a payload and a parachute together prior to and during parachute dropping of the payload and provide for automatic separation of the payload from the parachute after the payload and parachute have landed. The payload is secured to either a shaft or housing of the device, and the parachute is secured to the other. The forces acting on the device during parachute dropping of the payload arm a mechanical system for releasably dis-associating the shaft and the housing, and when the payload has landed, the different forces prevalent on the system cause mechanical releasing of the shaft and housing. The device according to the present invention provides a novel method of parachute/payload separation and avoids the use of, and problems inherent with the use of, detonators which have been previously used for such purposes.
