Abstract
A resettable mechanical disconnect comprises: first and second shafts having coupling features to engage each other such that first and second shafts rotate together around first axis; axial surface of ramp increasing in height around outer surface of second shaft around first axis; pawl and spring to rotate toward radial surface of ramp of second shaft; movable pin to retain pawl in place away from ramp when extended; control mechanism to retract movable pin; when control mechanism causes movable pin to retract, spring causes pawl to rotate about second axis to contact radial surface of ramp; pawl applies pressure against ramp as it rotates and pressure of pawl against increase in height of axial surface of ramp causes second shaft to move away from first shaft axially along first axis such that coupling features shafts disengage to cause first shaft and second shaft to no longer rotate together.
