Abstract

An article of submunition which is harnessed as a rotating load through the intermediary of a connecting device to the shroud lines of a parachute. The connecting device is designed as a torque or rotational moment-transmitting spreader arrangement for the radial spacing of the coupling of the shroud lines to a spin line carrying the load; whereby a coupling device is positioned between the connecting device and the spin line, in which the coupling device is constructed as a load-dependent slip coupling for the reduction of the torque which is transmitted from the spin line to the connecting device.
