    摘要: A press device having a cradle, a base plate, a fracturing device, an actuator, a switch, and a body. The base plate is located at a first end of the cradle. The fracturing device is proximally located at a second end of the cradle. The cradle is adapted to work in communication with the base plate to maintain alignment between the baseplate and the fracturing device. The actuator is proximally located to the second end of the cradle. The switch is operably connecting the actuator to the fracturing device. The body holds the cradle, base plate, fracturing device, actuator driven ram, and switch. The preferred embodiment uses a hydraulic ram.

    摘要: A method for disposing of propellant containers containing a propellant, comprising submerging the propellant containers in a detonation suppressant liquid, shredding the propellant containers while submerged in the detonation suppressant liquid into shredded propellant container material reduced in size to provide release of the propellant from the propellant containers, and removing the shredded propellant container material from the detonation suppressant liquid. A system for disposing of propellant containers is also disclosed.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an anti-explosion protection system based on containment barriers, which allows energy to be absorbed using a damping system formed by two walls that are connected by means of oscillators. According to the invention, the front wall (1) is supported by a system of bearings or a sliding surface (4) allowing the front wall to move relative to the second wall (2). The front wall receives the pressure wave and, owing to the movement of the mass of said front wall (1), a reduced pressure is transmitted to the rear wall (2), which is protected by the system. In said barrier, a large part of the energy from the explosion is transformed into the kinetic energy of an oscillating mass.

    摘要: A method comprising the steps of providing an Explosive Initiation Safety and Handling System (EISS) coupled to a robot, operatively coupling a charge carrier table and a manipulator to the robot; securing a charge to the charge carrier table; installing a shock tube spool on the shock tube spooling mechanism and locking with an indexing nut; inserting the shock tube that has been uncoiled from the spooling mechanism into the interrupter and replacing the cap; attaching the shock tube to the charge; making an initiator-to-interrupter connection with the shock tube; retracting the manipulator on the robot to a fully stowed position and rotating the charge carrier in front of the robot; picking up the charge with the manipulator, extending the manipulator forward and placing the charge at a threat; stowing the charge carrier; positioning the robot at a distance from the threat, allowing the shock tube to spool out; remotely activating a first firing circuit on the robot to arm the system; cutting the shock tube inside the interrupter and aligning the shock tube with the initiator; and firing a second circuit to initiate the shock tube.

    摘要: A blast treatment method whereby a smoke grenade is blast treated inside an explosion-proof container, said method comprising: a blast step in which the smoke grenade (20) is exploded inside the explosion-proof container (10); and a dissolving step in which gas or micro particles generated when the smoke grenade (20) was exploded are dissolved inside the explosion-proof container (10), in a liquid (W) including a greater volume of water than the volume of water generated by the explosion of the smoke grenade (20).
