Abstract

Release of attachment assemblies. Attachment assemblies including releasing means, a trigger; and cables in mechanical communication with the releasing means and with the trigger for operation of each releasing means having such mechanical communication.

Claims

1. A system for remote release of attachment assemblies, the system comprising:

at least one releasable attachment assembly,

the attachment assembly comprising a releasing means;

at least one trigger; and

at least one cable,

each cable;

in mechanical communication;

with a releasing means of at least one attachment assembly, and

with the trigger,

for operation of each releasing means having such mechanical communication.

2. A method for remote release of attachment assemblies, the method comprising:

providing a system comprising;

at least one releasable attachment assembly,

the attachment assembly comprising a releasing means;

at least one trigger; and

at least one cable,

each cable

in mechanical communication;

with a releasing means of at least one attachment assembly, and

with the trigger,

for operation of each releasing means having such mechanical communication;

attaching the attachment assemblies;

releasing the attached attachment assemblies by activating the trigger.

3. A system for release of at least one attachment assembly, the system comprising:

a plurality of releasable attachment assemblies,

each attachment assembly comprising a releasing means;

at least one trigger; and

a plurality of connection assemblies, each connection assembly;

in communication;

with a releasing means of one said attachment assembly, and

with the trigger,

for operation of each releasing means having such communication.

4. The system of claim 3:

wherein each connection assembly comprises;

a relay,

a relay-attachment assembly connection for each at least one attachment assembly, and

a relay-trigger connection; and

wherein;

the communication between the connection assembly and the releasing means of at least one attachment assembly comprises the relay-attachment assembly connection, and

the communication between the connection assembly and the trigger comprises the trigger-relay connection.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein the relay-attachment assembly connection comprises a transmission medium.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the transmission medium is a pressure transmission medium.

7. The system of claim 6, wherein the pressure transmission medium is a gas.

8. The system of claim 6, wherein the pressure transmission medium is a liquid.

9. The system of claim 5, wherein the transmission medium is electrical.

10. The system of claim 4, wherein the relay-attachment assembly connection comprises a Bowden cable.

11. The system of claim 3, wherein the connection assembly comprises a transmission medium.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the transmission medium is a pressure transmission medium.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein the pressure transmission medium is a gas.

14. The system of claim 12, wherein the pressure transmission medium is a liquid.

15. The system of claim 11, wherein the transmission medium is electrical.

16. The system of claim 11, wherein the connection assembly comprises a Bowden cable.

17. A personal load carrying assembly, the assembly comprising:

at least one releasable attachment point,

the attachment point comprising a releasing means;

at least one trigger; and

at least one connection assembly, each connection assembly;

in communication;

with a releasing means of at least one attachment assembly, and

with the trigger,

for operation of each releasing means having such communication.

18. The system of claim 17:

wherein the connection assembly comprises;

a relay,

a relay-attachment assembly connection for each at least one attachment assembly, and

a relay-trigger connection; and

wherein;

the communication between the connection assembly and the releasing means of at least one attachment assembly comprises the relay-attachment assembly connection, and

the communication between the connection assembly and the trigger comprises the trigger-relay connection.

19. The system of claim 18, wherein the relay-attachment assembly connection comprises a transmission medium.

20. The system of claim 19, wherein the transmission medium is a pressure transmission medium.

21. The system of claim 20, wherein the pressure transmission medium is a gas.

22. The system of claim 20, wherein the pressure transmission medium is a liquid.

23. The system of claim 19, wherein the transmission medium is electrical.

24. The system of claim 18, wherein the relay-attachment assembly connection comprises a Bowden cable.

25. The system of claim 17, wherein the connection assembly comprises a transmission medium.

26. The system of claim 25, wherein the transmission medium is a pressure transmission medium.

27. The system of claim 26, wherein the pressure transmission medium is a gas.

28. The system of claim 26, wherein the pressure transmission medium is a liquid.

29. The system of claim 25, wherein the transmission medium is electrical.

30. The system of claim 25, wherein the connection assembly comprises a Bowden cable.
