Abstract:
A rotating locking device includes a locking arm, including a throughbore, coupled to a housing and axially rotatable relative to the housing. The rotating locking device also includes a plunger including a biasing profile disposed within the throughbore and a locking head coupled to a distal end of the locking arm, the locking head including a recess to at least partially receive the distal end of the locking arm. The rotating locking device further comprises a load pin that couples the locking head to the distal end of the locking arm and is configured to resist separation of the locking head and the locking arm when in a securing position. Axial translation of the plunger causes the biasing profile to engage the load pin and cause the load pin to transition to a breakaway position.
