Abstract

A container apparatus for an object to be dropped, which contains an object to be dropped functioning as a point marker or a hydrographic conditions measuring device or the like and is dropped by a transport airplane such as an aircraft flying in the air to a water surface of sea, lake or the like, or to land or the like.
The container apparatus follows a substantially uniform trajectory after being dropped by the transport airplane, and after being dropped, reduces the flight speed thereof to a fixed speed, to release the object to be dropped housed therein.

Claims (7)

1. A container apparatus for an object to be dropped comprising:
a cylindrical container main body which is just divided vertically into two portions, with one ends of said two portions at one end section thereof being connected with each other by a hinge and the other ends of said two portions at the opposite end section thereof capable of being decoupled from each other to both sides, for housing therein an object to be dropped which exhibits a predetermined function, to be dropped by a transport airplane;
main body coupling means for coupling the other ends at the opposite end section of said container main body so as to prevent them from being decoupled from each other;
main body releasing means for releasing the coupling by said main body coupling means, to decouple the other ends from each other; and an automatic extending cable which extends from the one end section of said container main body and is attached to the transport airplane to activate said main body releasing means.
2. A container apparatus for an object to be dropped according to claim 1, wherein said main body coupling means is a tape member wound around an outer peripheral surface of the opposite end section of paid container main body.
3. A container apparatus for an object to be dropped according to claim 2, wherein said main body releasing means is a cord type member which is connected to said automatic extending cable and cuts said main body coupling means by extension of said automatic extending cable.
4. A container apparatus for an object to be dropped according in claim 1, wherein said main body coupling means is a thread type member which draws together to the main body members formed by just dividing said container main body vertically into two, and which is melted to be broken at a predetermined heating temperature.
5. A container apparatus for an object to be dropped according to claim 4, wherein said main body releasing means is a heating member which is activated by extension of said automatic extending cable, and melts to break said main body coupling means.
6. A container apparatus for an object to be dropped according to claim 5, wherein said main body releasing means is provided with a controller which controls a period of time until said main body coupling means is heated and melted to be broken by said heating member.
7. A container apparatus for an object to be dropped according to claim 1, wherein one or a plurality of plumb bob is incorporated at a predetermined location in said container main body, for adjusting a trajectory followed by said container apparatus after being dropped by the transport airplane.
