Claims8
Breaching apparatus comprising:
- a housing constructed of a material that disintegrates upon explosion without significant amounts of fragments being given off;
- and
- an explosive element disposed in said housing capable of producing an explosive force sufficient for breaching a structure, wherein said housing comprises internal partitions spaced from one another, and said explosive element comprises a layer of a flexible explosive element disposed between said partitions and wrapped around at least one of said partitions.
Breaching apparatus comprising:
- a housing constructed of a material that disintegrates upon explosion without significant amounts of fragments being given off;
- and
- an explosive element disposed in said housing capable of producing an explosive force sufficient for breaching a structure, wherein said housing comprises a box-like structure with at least one hollow chamber in which said explosive element is disposed, and wherein said at least one hollow chamber is positioned closer to a first surface of said housing that is attachable to a structure to be breached than to a second surface of said housing opposite to said first surface, and wherein said explosive element comprises an elongate detonating cord operatively connected to a sleeve housing, which is connected to a detonator housing in which another explosive element is disposed.
Breaching apparatus comprising:
- a housing constructed of a material that disintegrates upon explosion without significant amounts of fragments being given off;
- an explosive element disposed in said housing capable of producing an explosive force sufficient for breaching a structure, wherein said housing comprises a box-like structure with at least one hollow chamber in which said explosive element is disposed, and
- a tray attached to said housing, wherein an explosive device is disposed between said tray and said housing.
