Abstract

A hold open rod has a control sleeve, an outer cylinder, lock balls, a lock sleeve, a piston, a piston head, a release spring, and a lock spring. The control sleeve has first and second cavity sections, an inner radial surface, a CS channel, and a pin. The outer cylinder has an OC inner cavity, OC inner and outer radial surfaces, an OC axial end wall, lock ball apertures, and a pin guide slot. The lock balls are configured to pass through the lock ball apertures. The piston has first and second sections. The piston head has an outer radial surface, a channel, and a piston bore. The piston bore is configured to receive the first section of the piston. The release spring biases the control sleeve toward a first axial end. The lock spring biases the lock sleeve toward a second axial end.
