Abstract
A release mechanism for separating two components including: (i) a first plate-shaped member (1) with a first midplane (21) that is connectable to a first component and having two opposite first surfaces (3; 3′) arranged parallel to the first midplane and a first coupling portion (5); (ii) a second plate-shaped member (2) with a second midplane (22) that is connectable to a second component and having two opposite second surfaces (4; 4′) arranged parallel to the second midplane and a second coupling portion (6); (iii) an explosive (9) arranged in the first coupling portion and/or the second coupling portion or between them; and (iv) a plurality of protrusions (10) provided on and firmly connected to at least one of the first surfaces and/or the second surfaces. The first member and the second member are coupled to each other in a mutual midplane comprising the first midplane and the second midplane.
