Patent

CA 2535712

A release mechanism for use with an explosives disposal robot having an elongated boom includes a latch member secured to an outer end of the boom, the latch member having a fixed portion and movable latch or lever members. A flexible strap extends between the lever members, with one end being attached to one of the lever members and the other end being releasably attached to the other lever member. When the other lever member is moved to a release position the other end of the strap falls from the other lever member so as to release, for example, a firing line cradled in the strap. The one lever member can be actuated by way of a remote controlled solenoid connected thereto via a flexible cable or by way of an elastic member connected thereto. The elastic member is particularly useful when the elongated boom is telescopic in nature, as the latch member will be secured to one of the boom members and one end of the elastic member will be connected to another of the boom members with the other end of the elastic member being connected to the one lever member. When there is telescopic extension movement between the boom members the elastic member will act on the one lever member to cause it to move so as to release the strap from the other lever member.
