1. A vehicle emergency cockpit canopy opening or jettisoning mechanism for a cockpit canopy movable between an open and a closed position on the vehicle, comprising locking means for locking the canopy in the closed position, release means for unlocking the locking means, a primary rocket motor mounted on the canopy to thrust the canopy in a direction away from its normal position on the vehicle; a primary rocket initiating means to cause initiation of the primary rocket motor; and transmission means to transmit the unlocking movement of the release means to the initiating means of the primary rocket motor.
2. A mechanism according to claim 1, wherein such primary motor has an exhaust nozzle and said motor is located within the canopy but the exhaust nozzle extending to the exterior of the canopy.
3. A mechanism according to claim 1, wherein additional means are provided initially to operate the release means prior to initiation of said primary rocket motor.
4. A mechanism according to claim 1, comprising at least one ballistic jack to separate the canopy from the vehicle prior to initiation of the primary rocket motor.
5. A mechanism according to claim 1, comprising at least one supplementary rocket motor to separate the canopy from the vehicle prior to initiation of the primary rocket motor.
6. A mechanism according to claim 1, wherein initiator means are provided to actuate said release means and said primary rocket motor sequentially.
7. A mechanism according to claim 6, wherein at least one gas generator constitutes said initiator means.
8. A mechanism according to claim 1, wherein at least two primary rocket motors are provided.
9. A mechanism according to claim 4, wherein at least two ballistic jacks are provided.
10. A mechanism according to claim 5, wherein at least two supplementary rocket motors are provided.
11. A mechanism according to claim 6, further comprising an ejection seat in the vehicle, ejection seat initiator means, and an ejection seat firing mechanism interdictor, the initiator means and the interdictor being coupled together so that the ejection seat will be ejected from the vehicle only after emergency Opening or jettisoning of the canopy by the mechanism.
12. A mechanism according to claim 1, including additional means for initially separating the canopy from the vehicle after release of said lock but before initiation of said primary rocket motor.
13. A mechanism according to claim 1, in which an ejection seat is positioned within said cockpit beneath said canopy when the latter is closed and wherein an ejection gun firing mechanism of said seat is coupled to said emergency cockpit canopy opening or jettisoning mechanism.
14. A vehicle emergency cockpit canopy opening or jettisoning mechanism suitable for a canopy which is normally moved from a closed position to an open position in an arc about a rear hinge line, said canopy being provided with a lock normally to retain the canopy in a cockpit closing position, said mechanism comprising a primary rocket motor mounted on the canopy, a primary rocket motor initiating means to cause initiation of the rocket motor; transmission means to transmit movement of the cockpit canopy from an open position to an emergency open position to said initiating means; and an initiator device movable with the canopy to engage said transmission means when the cockpit canopy passes said normally open position; additional means also being provided initially to separate the canopy from the vehicle prior to initiation of the rocket motor.
15. A mechanism according to claim 14, wherein said additional means comprise at least one ballistic jack; a gas generator, the gas from which initiates said jack; said gas under pressure also serving to cause unlocking of the canopy lock; a shuttle valve preventing passage of the gas under pressure from the unit to the ballistic jack until said lock has been released.
16. A mechanism according to claim 14, wherein said additional means comprise at least one supplementary rocket motor and a gas generator the rocket motor being initiated by gas pressure generated by a gas generator unit, said gas generator unit being initiated by movement of a piston from a piston and cylinder assembly under the influence of gas generated by a further gas generator unit, said gas from said further unit passing to the piston and cylinder assembly via a shuttle valve which prevents passge of said gas to the piston cylinder assembly until the canopy lock has been unlocked, which gas under pressure serves also to unlock said canopy lock.
17. A vehicle emergency cockpit canopy opening or jettisoning mechanism for a cockpit canopy movable with respect to the cockpit between an open and closed position, comprising a lock for locking the canopy in the closed position, a primary rocket motor mounted on the canopy to thrust the canopy away from its normal position on the vehicle; a main lay shaft; lock release means; primary rocket motor initiator means; time delay means; gas powered means for moving said say shaft about its axis; said shaft being operatively connected between the release means and the initiator means via the time delay means so that initiation of said gas powered means results in movement of said lay shaft to cause the canopy to be unlocked and thereafter to cause initiation of said rocket motor.
18. A mechanism according to claim 17, wherein a slotted link constitutes said time delay mechanism, this link being pivotally coupled to said lay shaft and also to a longitudinally and transversely movable transmission shaft, cam means transmitting movement of such transmission shaft to said primary rocket motor initiator means.
19. A mechanism according to claim 18, wherein the primary rocket motor, said initiator means and said cam means are movable as an assembly with the canopy but with respect to the transmission shaft and lay shaft.
20. A mechanism according to claim 19, wherein a linkage which is adapted to control movement of a stop provided normally to prevent movement of the canopy beyond a normal open position is coupled to said lay shaft.
21. A vehicle emergency cockpit canopy opening oR jettisoning mechanism for a cockpit canopy movable between a closed and an open position in an arc about a side hinge line, comprising a lock for locking the canopy in the closed position, a primary rocket motor mounted on the canopy to thrust the canopy in a direction away from its normal position on the vehicle; a main lay shaft; lock release means; primary rocket motor initiator means; gas powered means for moving said lay shaft about its axis; a lockable telescopic strut provided normally to prevent movement of the canopy from the closed position beyond a open position; means operable to permit the strut to allow passage of said canopy beyond said normal open position to an emergency open position; and strut locking means to prevent collapse of said strut once said emergency open position is reached, said shaft being operatively connected to the lock release means and to the primary rocket motor initiator means to transmit the unlocking movement of the release means to the primary rocket motor initiator means.
22. A mechanism according to claim 21, wherein an initiator device is provided and is movable with the canopy, movement of the canopy to said emergency open position being transmitted to the initiator device, said initiator device being adapted to be coupled to an ejection seat firing mechanism interdictor thereby automatically to cause, or to permit, initiation of an ejection seat when said canopy reaches said emergency open position.
23. A mechanism according to claim 22, wherein a safety catch operatively connected to the lay shaft is provided to prevent actuation of the ejection seat firing mechanism until after said lay shaft is moved in a sense to cause initiation of the primary rocket motor by said gas powered means.
