Abstract
A device for retaining an object to a support and then separating it therefrom in a controlled sequence embodying a receptacle to be fixed to the support, a chimney fixed to the receptacle and a retaining sleeve adapted to couple a bearing surface of the object to a bearing surface of the receptacle or to release it. A piston slides along the chimney and has a locking configuration in which it holds the retaining sleeve in place and a release configuration. An ejector piston slides in the chimney to eject the object. Drive pressure operates first on the piston until it can operate on the ejector piston at the end of the movement of the piston.
