Abstract
Abstract : Data are presented on the manual grip-retention capability of seated persons. Nine male subjects, grasping experimental ejection actuators located forward of an ejection seat pan, were required to maintain their grasp against force loadings of 50 to 500 pounds. Grip retention at various increments of time to a maximum of 30 seconds are compared for each of the four handles: a T- bar, Twin grips, a standard D-ring and a flexible Gemini-type loop. Test results indicated that the T-bar provides the greatest grip-retention capability. Potential applications of these performance data are discussed.
