A hold open rod is configured to provide switched damping movement includes an inner tube assembly coupled to an outer tube assembly, the inner tube assembly movable within the outer tube assembly. The hold open rod also includes a damping mechanism configured to damp movement of the outer tube assembly with respect to the inner tube assembly.

Mechanically damped pull then lift hold open rod mechanism

An electronic release system configured to unlock a hold open rod mechanism or latch mechanism includes an actuator interface configured with an input device and an actuator associated with the hold open rod mechanism or the latch mechanism. The input device configured to be actuated by personnel to initiate operation of an unlocking mechanism associated with the hold open rod mechanism or the latch mechanism. The electronic release system also includes a wiring assembly configured to connect the actuator interface to the actuator. The actuator interface configured to determine actuation of the input device and signal the actuator over the wiring assembly. The actuator being configured to operate the unlocking mechanism associated with the hold open rod mechanism or the latch mechanism.

Electronic release system for a hold open rod mechanism

A cable release system configured to unlock a hold open rod mechanism or latch mechanism includes an actuator having a handle and a cable attachment. The cable release system also includes a cable connected at one end to the actuator and at another end to an unlocking mechanism associated with the hold open rod mechanism or the latch mechanism. The cable release system also includes the actuator being configured to move the cable and operate the unlocking mechanism associated with the hold open rod mechanism or the latch mechanism. The cable release system also includes the actuator and the handle being configured to be moved by personnel to move the cable and operate the unlocking mechanism associated with the hold open rod mechanism or the latch mechanism. The cable release system also includes the cable attachment including a lower slide and a release slide.

Cable release system for a hold open rod mechanism

A hold open rod includes an inner tube assembly coupled to an outer tube assembly, the inner tube assembly movable within the outer tube assembly, a lock body coupled to the outer tube assembly, and an inner collar coupled to the lock body, the inner collar having a lock groove and unlock groove. The hold open rod further includes a locking dog configured to engage the unlock groove when the hold open rod is in an unlocked configuration and the locking dog further configured to engage the lock groove when the hold open rod is in a locked configuration, an unlocked indicator on a first region of the lock body, the unlocked indicator exposed when the hold open rod is in the unlocked configuration, and a first rod end coupled to the outer tube assembly and a second rod end coupled to the inner rod assembly.
