Abstract
Low-energy fuse in the form of a plastic tube the inner surface of which is coated with explosive. In order to prevent the explosive from being dislodged, the plastic tube is of sandwich-type, the outer part of which will withstand mechanical stress and the inner part of which has such adhesion to the explosive agent that this is only dislodged by a shock wave.
Claims4
A low-energy fuse comprising a plastic tube having an inner surface and a coating of explosive in powder form on said inner surface, said plastic tube being of sandwich-type and comprising an outer part having relatively high resistance to external damage and an inner part having an inner adhesive surface on which said explosive is adherently applied, said inner surface having relatively high adhesion so that said explosive applied thereto is dislodged substantially only by a shock wave, said inner part having an outer surface and said outer part having an inner surface directly engaged with said outer surface of said inner part.
