Abstract
At least one gas operated cylinder is mounted on the female connector member of the canopy release body, the piston in the cylinder is restrained in a retracted position by a shear pin protruding in the track ahead of the piston; a roll bar transversely extended in the female member has a cutaway portion to permit the insertion of a prong of a male connector member into an intersecting pocket in the female member so that when the roll bar is turned into a corresponding recess in the prong it interlocks the connector members; the free end of the piston engages a shoulder formed in the periphery of the roll bar; the roll bar may be turned manually away from the piston into position to withdraw it from the recess in the prong, but when gas under pressure moves the piston it shears the shear pin and turns the roll bar into the disengaging position wherein the roll bar is withdrawn from said prong recess.
