Abstract

A quickly detachable mounting link and its accompanying flail blades from sleeve lug mounts on a rotor drum. The link is U-shaped and has axially aligned oppositely disposed extensions at the upper end of the U. The depending portion of the U link is adapted to loosely carry the flail blades. One of the extensions is longer than the other and carries a coil spring therearound. The oppositely disposed extensions are adapted to slidably engage spaced apart, axially aligned sleeve lug mounts on the rotor drum. The coil spring in its normal extension keeps the mounting link in its sleeve mounts on the rotor drum. Quick detachment is accomplished by sliding the mounting link in a direction to compress the coil spring and effect removal of the short extension from its sleeve lug mount, whereupon the entire link may be removed from the rotor and the flail blades slid off the link over its short extension.
