Abstract
An explosive bolt system includes an explosive bolt and an initiator device. The explosive bolt includes a shank having a first longitudinal end, an opposed second longitudinal end, and a longitudinal axis. The explosive bolt is configured for securing two elements together between the first longitudinal end and the second longitudinal end. The shank includes an internal chamber accommodating a first layer of a high density first secondary explosive material, and further accommodating a second layer of a low density second secondary explosive material in arming communication with the first layer. The initiator device is positioned with respect to the explosive bolt such that the initiator device is in arming communication with the explosive bolt.
Claims39
An explosive bolt system, comprising:
- an explosive bolt, comprising a shank having a first longitudinal end, an opposed second longitudinal end and a longitudinal axis, the explosive bolt being configured for securing two elements together between said first longitudinal end and said second longitudinal end;
- the shank including an internal chamber accommodating a first layer of a high density first secondary explosive material, and further accommodating a second layer of a low density second secondary explosive material in arming communication with the first layer;
- and
- an initiator device positioned with respect to the explosive bolt such that the initiator device is in arming communication with the explosive bolt.

A method for producing an explosive bolt, the method comprising:
- providing a shank having a first longitudinal end, an opposed second longitudinal end and a longitudinal axis, the shank including an internal chamber
- inserting a first quantity of first secondary explosive material in the internal chamber and applying a first compression pressure thereto to form a first layer of a high density said first secondary explosive material;
- and
- inserting a second quantity of second secondary explosive material in the internal chamber over the first layer and applying a second compression pressure thereto to form a second layer of a low density said second secondary explosive material;
- wherein said first compression pressure is greater than said second compression pressure.
