An apparatus for use with a perforating device includes a section having a window and a detonating cord disposed in a bore of the section. The apparatus may include a detonator configured to generate a high order detonation; and a clip connecting the detonator to the detonating cord. The clip may be formed as a ribbon having a base and a prong extending from opposing sides of the base. The base has an opening for receiving the detonator. The prongs have biased ends to secure the detonating cord against a face of the detonator.

A priming assembly and a method are provided for coupling a plurality of detonators to at least one explosive through a plurality of transmission lines. The priming assembly may include a housing that receives the plurality of detonators and the plurality of transmission lines. In use, the plurality of transmission lines may communicate with the plurality of detonators within the housing to transmit explosive charges from the plurality of detonators to the at least one explosive.
摘要:
A method of producing an assembly of a connector block (1, 21, 40) and a detonator (5, 25, 41) suitable for retaining at least one shock tube (4, 24) adjacent to a percussion-actuation end (15, 26) of the detonator, and to an assembly thus produced and a connector block therefor. The method comprising inserting a detonator into a connector block having a housing (2, 22, 40) provided with a bore (13, 31, 44), positioning the detonator in the bore of the housing so that the percussion-actuation end of the detonator is positioned adjacent to a slot (14, 35) for receiving the shock tubes; and fixing the detonator in the housing. The detonator is fixed in the housing by causing a body of material (10) to flow plastically into the recess in the detonator and to harden therein to form a locking element fixed to the housing, thereby preventing accidental movement of the detonator within the connector block.

A novel pyrotechnic delay composition for use in metal delay fuse cartridges, including as its primary constituent Si—Al—Fe3O4 prepared from powdered form. The delay composition yields a progressive burning zone and burns substantially gas-free, is safe to handle, is resistant to moisture and degradation over time, can be incorporated within the confines of existing detonator shells, and poses no environmental hazards.

摘要:
A connector block for retaining at least one shock tube in signal transfer relationship with a detonator. The connector block comprises a housing (2, 21) having a bore (4, 23) formed therein for receiving a detonator (6, 36) provided with a percussion-actuation end (7, 25), a shock tube retention means (8, 28) defining with the housing a slot (9, 29) for receiving therein at least one shock tube (10, 30) and holding the at least one shock tube in signal transfer relationship with the percussion-actuation end of the detonator present in the bore, the slot having an entrance (12, 32) for allowing insertion of the at least one shock tube into the slot, and a flexible and resilient closure member (11, 31) or an inflexible closure member (50) pivotable on a sprung hinge (51) extending partially or fully into the entrance. The closure member and the shock tube retention means resiliently flex to allow entry of the at least one shock tube through the entrance and into the slot, the closure member flexing through a distance at least 30% the diameter of the shock tube.
摘要:
A method of manufacturing a pyrotechnic time delay composition includes admixing together a solid oxidizer, a solid fuel and water to form an aqueous slurry. The slurry is transformed into droplets. The droplets are gas-dried to form particles comprising the oxidizer and the fuel, with the particles thus constituting a pyrotechnic delay composition.
摘要:
A novel transfer ordnance line and novel end fittings for the transfer line for use in space vehicles, aircraft, missile systems and other military applications. The transfer line is a Rapid Deflagration Cord (RDC) hermetically encapsulated in a metal tubing. The metal tubing terminates at end fittings such as a loaded high energy (HE) end fitting which detonates, a low energy (LE) end fitting which burns, and a percussion primer used to start burning of the RDC in the transfer line. The transfer line is constructed so that gases produced during the burning of the RDC do not escape and pose a threat to the surroundings during functioning and so moisture does not enter the system during shelflife, transportation, or at any other time prior to functioning. With minor adjustments to the transfer tube and the end fittings, the transfer tubing can be made flexible by forming a coil. With minor adjustments, a loaded HE end fitting can be made into a separation end fitting used ejected devices that must remain on course. Loaded HE end fittings may be placed in a manifold where it will ignite one or more loaded HE and LE end fittings to further progress the reaction. Loaded LE end fittings may be placed in transfer manifolds joining one or more other loaded LE end fittings to progress the reaction.
摘要:
A blasting cap initiator system has a main housing with an imperforate lower wall, parallel side walls, and front and rear walls. An L-shaped locking slot is formed centrally in one side wall with a trigger recess formed in the top wall adjacent the rear wall and a cylindrical bore extending from the rear wall through the front wall. A firing pin is mounted for reciprocal movement within the bore between a retracted orientation and an advanced orientation. The firing pin has a centrally located circumferential groove. A trigger is pivotably mounted in the trigger recesses movable between a locking orientation with a finger engageable with the groove and a raised orientation to a disengage orientation. A pair of axial coil springs between the rear wall and the cylinders independently allow the advancement of the cylinders.
