Device for driving mechanical safety systems
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12000665B2) discloses a device designed for driving mechanical safety systems. The device includes a housing, moving pistons connected to toothed racks and pinions, a locking lever, and a shift claw that activates the locking lever. The housing can be closed with covers that have hydraulic or pneumatic connections to actuate the moving pistons, ensuring smooth operation of the safety system.
Furthermore, the device features intricate components such as control cams, moving bolts, switch forks, pressure pieces, and locking bushes that work in tandem to facilitate the movement and control of the safety system. The device can be remotely controlled through an actuator, and multiple pistons can be utilized for enhanced performance. Primarily designed as a component for large-caliber weapon systems, the device plays a crucial role in activating and deactivating the safety system through a control shaft, with mechanisms in place to prevent unauthorized rotation and ensure proper functioning of the system.
