Abstract
The invention relates to a temporary towing device intended to impart a very high acceleration to a mobile mass (A, TAV, CF). It comprises a guidance device (G), a carriage (C) mounted so that it can slide with respect to this guidance device (G), a motive device (M, PI) for imparting a movement of acceleration along this guidance device (8, 9) to the carriage (C) in a direction running in the direction of acceleration of the mass (A, TAV, CF). Coupling means (CR) make it possible temporarily to secure the mass and the carriage together as they are accelerated. A braking device (F) makes it possible to brake the carriage at the end of the acceleration of the mass. A device (1) for modulating the towing force (EC) is designed to bring the elements (TAV, CF) of the mass (A, TAV, CF) to the state of rest with respect to one another, or close to this state of rest, the moment the connection is broken. Application to the catapult of an aircraft carrier.
