Abstract
A mechanism for capturing and releasing a spinning object comprises an adaptor housing which has a passive turntable mounted thereon and a braking clamp which is carried by a suitable support structure. The passive turntable is mounted on the adaptor so as to be free to rotate about the axis of rotation of the spinning object. The braking clamp initially engages the passive turntable and thereafter applies a braking torque to the adaptor housing.
