Zusammenfassung: | A releasable connector subassembly adapted for use as part of a load-transmitting control assembly in a high density vehicle, such as an aircraft. The preferred embodiment, in such an adaptation, includes: a first control rod section having a first end to which is attached an eye bolt, and having a second end to which is attached a male-configurated member; an aligned second control rod section having a first end to which is attached a cable or the like, and having a second end to which is attached a female-configurated member releasably engaging and mating with the male member of the first control rod section and thereby forming a joint, and also having an external surface with a peripheral groove therein; a slideably movable tube-like sleeve with a suitably located notch therein and therethrough, with the sleeve removably fitted on and over, and peripherally surrounding and abutting the joint, and with the notch of the sleeve in registration with and abutting the peripheral groove of the second control rod end portion; a slideably movable collar with a longitudinal passageway therethrough and with a transverse passageway therethrough, with the collar and its longitudinal passageway removably fitted on and over, and peripherally surrounding and abutting the sleeve; a bolt, with a cylindrical shaped spacer on the shank portion thereof, passing into, through, and out of the transverse passageway of the collar, and with the spacer abutting the sleeve at the notch therein and also abutting the peripheral groove in the second control rod section; and, a nut threadedly and removably engaged with the bolt. The sleeve is thereby releasably secured to the joint; and, nevertheless, the second control rod section may be rotated within the collar. My preferred embodiment may be rapidly and easily assembled and disassembled within a high density vehicle. Additionally, the preferred embodiment, or any member thereof, also may be rapidly and easily installed, removed and/or replaced, connected, disconnected, and re-connected within the very limited confines of a high density vehicle. |
