摘要:
A fuze for an explosive projectile, particularly a submunition projectile (bomblet) which includes a first primary firing pin mounted in a housing for axial displacement in the longitudinal direction, and a detonation charge carried by a slide disposed in the housing, with the slide being mounted for displacement transverse to the longitudinal direction of said housing, and to its center longitudinal axis, between a safety position, wherein the detonation charge is not aligned with the firing pin, and an armed position, wherein the detonation charge is aligned with the firing pin. The slide is further provided with a self destruct arrangement, which includes an ignition element disposed adjacent an edge of the slide, to cause self destruction of at least said fuze after a given time delay following ignition of the ignition element. A second firing in is mounted laterally in the fuze housing at a position for causing ignition of the ignition element upon displacement of said slide into the armed position, with the second firing pin being a flat strip of sheet metal in the shape of a pointed wedge or triangle disposed in the displacement path of the slide.

An impact or percussion detonator including a detonator cap which is piercable by a striker or firing pin actuated by a spring force from the rear end of the detonator, including a mechanical retarding or delay arrangement incorporating blocking members which, in their blocking position are located, on the one side, in recesses provided in the striker and on the other side, in recesses provided in a detonator component. The detonator component is constituted of an axially movable securing sleeve, and a recess which receives the blocking members is provided a base member fastened to a housing of the detonator at a distance in the direction towards detonating.

A multi-path impact type, inertia class, igniter for use with both rotating and non-rotating projectiles or warheads includes two or more stab type "firing pins" that are arranged in a plane which is at 90.degree. to the center-line of the projectile. The firing pins are equally spaced apart on the plane and each bears directly upon a safety rupture-disc. The rupture-discs bear directly upon stab type primers, there being one primer per disc. Each firing pin has a sloped "conic" surface forming a cam which is in direct contact with a conic body-of-rotation inertia mass which lies on the projectile center-line. Upon impact, the conic shaped mass moves forward at a high rate forcing the firing pins outward at a much reduced velocity relative to that of impact. The moving firing pins pierce the rupture-discs and enter the stab primers, thereby causing the actuation of the latter.

The nose cavity of a projectile fuze is provided with a flexible, discontinuous baffle, in the form of a spiral coil spring, mounted between the firing pin and the front end of the fuze, for dissipating the kinetic energy of light objects, such as rain drops or foliage. The open front end of the nose cavity is closed by a thin dust cover which is easily penetrated by light objects.
