Detaching

The Detaching frame covers two situations: a scene in which somebody causes one thing to be physically detached from something else; or a scene in which somebody causes two things to be disconnected from each other. In the first, the frame includes an Agent who detaches an Item from a Source, creating an asymmetric relationship between the Item and the Source. In the second, the Agent attaches two Items to each other, where each serves as a Source relative to the other, creating a symmetric relationship between the two Items.
