摘要:
An output device and/or an output device assembly configured to be initiated in response to different types of input. The disclosed output device may be generally configured so as to be able to receive different types of input in order to produce an output. For example, the two different types of input may be mechanical force and fluid pressure, and thus the disclosed output device may be able to receive either form of input and convert either input into the desired/predetermined output.

An explosive detonating system comprises connectable components to connect/disconnect a pathway that ignites an explosion. A firing actuator activates primers (percussion caps). An adapter connects the firing actuator to shock tube and channels the ignition force into the shock tube. A cap box houses blasting caps coupled to the end of the shock tube. A priming well is coupled to the cap box/blasting caps and the detonating cord. When the firing actuator is initiated, the percussion caps ignite, sending an explosive wave into the adapter, which channels the wave into the shock tube and ignites the shock tube. The explosive wave travels through the shock tube and activates the blasting caps, which activate the detonating cord in the priming well. The explosive is placed in a location to provide a desired explosive effect. For example, the system may be employed as a system to breach structures or other applications.
摘要:
An apparatus actuatable under a rotary acceleration having a predetermined duration and magnitude. The apparatus including: a body having a first channel and a second channel, the second channel being disposed radially offset from the first channel; a mass disposed in the first channel, the mass having an arm disposed at a first end of the mass and the arm being rotatable from a first position in which the arm cannot move within the second channel to a second position in which the arm can move inside the second channel; a first biasing spring member having a first end connected to the body and a second end connected to the arm such that when the arm is subjected to the rotary acceleration greater than the predetermined duration and magnitude, the arm is biased to rotate from the first position to the second position; wherein the mass is connected to the arm such that the mass moves in the first channel and the arm moves in the second channel when the arm is biased into the second position.

A tool (12) has a body (14) with a barrel (18) having opposing threaded and fitted openings (30 and 28). An actuator pin tube (26), for slidably engaging an actuator pin (38) having a tip (40) opposing a retention head (42), extending from the fitted opening (30). A spring assembly (24), disposed in the barrel (18), has a hammer guide (44) engaged in the threaded opening (28) with a hammer (46) slidably engaged therein, a handle mechanism (55) disposed at one end and a spring retainer (52) disposed adjacent the other end of the hammer (46) before a hammerhead (51), and a spring (54) engaged between the hammer guide (44) and the spring retainer (52). A release mechanism (56) engages the hammer (46). A kit (108) containing the tool (12) and a method of operating the tool (12) involving drilling and cleaning a borehole, inserting a cartridge and tool therein, and detonating the load remotely using a pull cord.
摘要:
An incendiary device for preventing adverse handling of classified material in which an incendiary container is positioned in a cylinder or the like adjacent a spring urged clamp and a firing mechanism is secured in the cylinder in alignment with the container. A splined bushing normally retains a ball to preclude the firing mechanism from being disarmed.

A split collet, having a lanyard connected thereto, surrounds a ball assembly on the rear of a piston in such a manner than when the lanyard is sufficiently pulled at any angle less than 90* with respect to the principal axis of the piston, the collet will automatically separate from the ball of the piston, releasing the piston. The piston is driven forward by a spring. The piston has a projection on the forward end thereof for puncturing an ampoule or actuating a mechanism. The design of the collet permits the piston to be retracted by pulls in directions other than coaxial.
摘要:
An elongated hammer overlies an explosive primer and a supporting member that extends laterally away from the primer, the end of the hammer remote from the primer being pivotally supported so that its opposite end can swing away from the primer against the resistance of a spring. The hammer and adjacent surface of the supporting member diverge toward the primer, and a spacer near the primer is disposed between the hammer and the supporting member where it normally spaces the hammer from that member. The spacer can be pulled toward the pivoted end of the hammer to swing the hammer away from the primer until the spacer enters an opening in the hammer, which permits the free end of the hammer to swing back and strike the primer.
