Method and apparatus for positioning a shaped charge

A method for positioning a shaped charge in proximity to a target, the method comprising:

• (a) securing at least one pin to the shaped charge;
• (b) manipulating at least one leg of said at least one pin to securely position the shaped charge in proximity to the target;
• (c) encasing the shaped charge in an outer body defining an opening for receiving the shaped charge;
• and
• (d) inserting said at least one leg of said at least one pin in at least one flange of said outer body encasing the shaped charge, wherein said at least one flange defines at least one hole there through for receiving said at least one leg.

• (b) encasing the shaped charge in an outer body defining an opening for receiving the shaped charge;
• (c) inserting at least one leg of said at least one pin in at least one flange of said outer body encasing the shaped charge, wherein said at least one flange defines at least one hole there through for receiving said at least one leg, and further wherein said at least one flange is made of molded rubber, and said at least one hole defined in said at least one flange is sized such that when inserted, said at least one leg of said at least one pin is gripped securely by said at least one flange;
• and
• (d) manipulating one of said at least one leg of said at least one pin to securely position the shaped charge in proximity to the target.

A method for positioning a shaped charge in proximity to a target, the method comprising:

• (a) securing at least one pin to the shaped charge;
• (b) manipulating at least one leg of said at least one pin to securely position the shaped charge in proximity to the target;
• (c) attaching a clip to the shaped charge by snapping at least one tab of said clip into an indent of the shaped charge, wherein said clip has a ridge portion having a flange notched out there from;
• (d) inserting a detonating device in a void defined by said ridge portion of said clip and a cap defining a channel therein on an upper portion of the shaped charge;
• and
• (e) seating a load end of said detonating device against said flange and against an igniting surface of said channel of said cap.

An apparatus for positioning a shaped charge in proximity to a target, the apparatus comprising:

• an outer body encasing the shaped charge, said outer body further comprising a receiving end having an opening defined therein, wherein a load end of a detonating device is inserted in said opening and seated against an igniting surface of the shaped charge, and further wherein said opening in said receiving end is sized such that when said detonating device is inserted in said opening, said detonating device is gripped securely to said receiving end;
• at least one flange located on said outer body wherein said at least one flange defines at least one hole there through;
• and
• at least one pin having at least one leg, wherein said at least one leg of said at least one pin is inserted in said at least one hole defined by said at least one flange, wherein said at least one leg of said at least one pin is manipulated to securely position the shaped charge in proximity to the target.

An apparatus for positioning a shaped charge in proximity to a target, the apparatus comprising:

• an outer body encasing the shaped charge, wherein said outer body is made of molded rubber and defines an opening for receiving the shaped charge, wherein said opening defined by said outer body is sized such that when encased in said outer body, the shaped charge is gripped securely by said outer body;
• at least one flange located on said outer body wherein said at least one flange defines at least one hole there through;
• and
• at least one pin having at least one leg, wherein said at least one leg of said at least one pin is inserted in said at least one hole defined by said at least one flange, wherein said at least one leg of said at least one pin is manipulated to securely position the shaped charge in proximity to the target.

• and
• a clip having a at least one tab for snapping into an indent on the shaped charge and having a ridge portion having a flange notched out there from, wherein when said clip is snapped in place on the shaped charge, said clip defines a void between said ridge portion of said clip and the shaped charge.
