Title: Revolving-cylinder jettison device for transporting and releasing buoys on and from aircraft

Abstract: A revolver-cylinder type jettison device for transporting and jettisoning buoys on and from aircraft which comprises a number of jettisoning tubes each adapted to be loaded either with a single long buoy or with a pair of short buoys, and to be brought selectively to the jettisoning position by rotating the revolver-cylinder so that the selected tube overlies a single and common ejection and guide barrel formed in the aircraft. Each tube comprises buoy wedging and retaining devices for the two loading modes, the wedging device being so arranged as to retract automatically during the jettisoning, the retaining device being actuated by a pair of release cylinders. The buoys are ejected under the control of a pair of ejection cylinders responsive to upper and lower arms, the lower arm being retractable.
