Abstract
A pyrotechnic fuze for projectiles, rockets, bomblets and mines, which is basically a pyrotechnic self-destruct device, in which a triggering device for a pyrotechnic delay arrangement is arranged within a housing. The triggering device consists of an igniting composition and a delay composition, a detonator for the triggering of an explosive charge and a striker for the detonator, whereby the detonator is arranged in a transversely movable slider.
Claims6
A pyrotechnic self-destruct fuze for projectiles, rockets, bomblets and mines, comprising a housing;
- triggering means for a pyrotechnic delay installation in said housing consisting of a triggering composition in a delay composition;
- a detonator for the triggering of an explosive charge and a striker for the detonator, said detonator being arranged in a transversely movable slider, and said housing having a side aperture for the slider which is displaceable outwardly beyond the external housing contour, and which slider contains the delay installation;
- wherein the slider includes two bores which extend parallel and which are only connected in a U-shape at one end of the slider in the plane of movement of the slider, said bores containing the triggering means and the pyrotechnic delay installation.
