Abstract
Connection device for releasably attaching a mine roller assembly to a miary tank including an actuator controlled from within the tank. The actuator means includes a hydraulic cylinder exterior to the tank hull protected from projectiles by other, more durable components of the connection mechanism and includes a biasing member to maintain the connection device in an attaching mode should the cylinder fail. The connection device optionally includes a bracket which allows quick mounting or demounting of the hydraulic cylinder from the tank.
