Abstract
A device for detecting the absence of a mechanical barrier for a missile comprises a rod constrained by a first elastic element and a free end capable of coming into contact with the mechanical barrier and a cam constrained by a second elastic element. The rod can assume one or more of the following positions: an initial entry position wherein the rod is held in a stable position between the cam and the mechanical barrier, an extended position wherein the cam moved the rod in the direction of the free end, and a final entry position wherein the rod is acted upon by the first elastic element after the rod has been released by the cam once the rod has completely entered the missile in the final entry position so as to no longer present a danger to its environment or a hindrance to the proper functioning of the missile.
