Self-destruction type nose impact fuze for spinning projectiles

A self-destruction nose impact fuze for spinning projectiles, comprising:

• A. a fuze housing including a fuze tip and containing
• a. a forwardly closed hollow compartment,
• b. means defining a ramp,
• c. centrifugal bodies bearing against said ramp,
• d. an axially displaceably firing pin,
• e. a detonator cap against which said firing pin in propelled,
• f. a self-destruction spring cooperating with said firing pin,
• g. an axially displaceable impact body located internally of the hollow compartment and cooperating with said self-destruction spring,
• h. a ring member fixed in said fuze housing,
• i. a bore shoulder in said hollow compartment,
• j. a bushing clamped in the hollow compartment between said bore shoulder and said ring member,
• B. the axially displaceable firing pin being brought to bear against the axially displaceable impact body against the force of the self-destruction spring by the centrifugal bodies bearing against said ramp as long as the spin of the projectile is located above a boundary value determinative of self-destruction,
• C. the bushing having an outer wall and internally possessing a shoulder against which bears an end face of the impact body under the force of said self-destruction spring for the positive transmission of the impact impulse from the fuze tip of the fuze housing to the impact body,
• D. a hollow space provided between the fuze housing and the outer wall of the bushing, and
• E. wherein the bushing is formed of a material of greater strength than the fuze housing.
