A stores arming trigger unit for use in airborne launching of stores and including improved means for selection of armed or unarmed launch modes. Such improved means consists of an axially shiftable elongated shaft which is normally biased into a safe launch position, but which shaft is selectively actuatable to move into a live launch position by actuation of a movable plunger of a solenoid.

In a store arming trigger unit adapted to selectively retain or release a connecting means associated with an arming device of a store carried by an aircraft, the combination comprising: a carrier means; an elongated shaft means carried by said carrier means for rotation about a longitudinal axis thereof; said shaft means being axially movable with respect to said carrier means into axially spaced retention and release positions to respectively retain or release such a connecting means with respect to said carrier means; bias means cooperable with said shaft means to bias said shaft means axially into said retention position; cam means cooperable with said shaft means and having a pair of camming surfaces which are biased by said bias means into engagement with each other, said camming surfaces being cooperable to move said shaft means axially against the bias of said bias means into said release position in response to rotation of said shaft means through a predetermined angle of rotation about said axis; first actuator means cooperable with said shaft means to selectively rotate said shaft means about said axis including rotating said shaft through such a predetermined angle of rotation with said shaft means moving into said release position; and second actuator means selectively operable independently of said first actuator means to selectively disengage said pair of camming surfaces whereby said shaft means remains in said retention position throughout rotation of said shaft means.
