Latching mechanism with 3 balls and cone
I'm working on a project and I need some form
of coaxial latch mechanism. I've seen something with 3 steel balls and a cone and sleeve that might work, but I don't know what it's proper name is or where I can find a picture of it. If it's any help, I think H&K builds a weapon that latches the bolt with a similar mechanism. Any help would be appreciated. |

It's common in guns, typcally for sling swivel mechanisms. If it's any help, I think H&K builds a weapon that latches the bolt with a similar mechanism. I wouldn't be surprised. H&K make some beautiful things. A google search term of "sling swivel" looks very promising, especially "quick detachable". Maybe you can find a cross-section, or a source for purchase that way.

Sounds like the same type mechanism as a clothes line tensioner unit.

Sounds like an air coupler to me.

Across the pond we use them a lot on our gas-cooled nuclear power stations;
generally called ball-latches or ball-locks. Always in custom plant though. |

Commonly used in the US for quick detach air and hydraulic
fittings. On Fri, 26 Aug 2005 13:57:52 -0700, Jim Stewart wrote: I'm working on a project and I need some form of coaxial latch mechanism.
