Abstract
Delay tools, systems and methods for achieving a selection of alternative delay times, a tool of which including a body, a drill bit operable relative to the body and a knob operably connected to the drill bit, and operably disposed relative to the body for engagement of the body with a rocket motor bulkhead and the drill both relative to a delay to provide for achieving a selection of alternative delay times.
Claims40
A delay modification tool comprising:
- a body;
- a drill bit operably disposed relative to the body;
- and
- a knob operably connected to the drill bit, and operably disposed relative to the body,
- wherein the body, drill bit and knob are operably configured for engagement of the body with a rocket motor bulkhead and the drill bit relative to a delay disposed within the bulkhead to provide for achieving a selection of alternative delay times.
A rocket motor delay modification process comprising:
- modifying the delay time by reducing the delay material from the ejection side of the delay.
A rocket motor delay modification process comprising:
- engaging a delay modification apparatus with a rocket bulkhead having a delay therein;
- removing delay material from the delay to effectuate a discrete delay time.
A rocket motor system with modifiable delay including
- a rocket motor and
- a delay tool including
- a body,
- a drill bit operable relative to the body and
- a knob operably connected to the drill bit.
A single use rocket motor comprising a structure configured for user modification of the delay time.
A reloadable rocket motor comprising a delay bulkhead to a contain a delay configured to be modifiable from the ejection end.
