Description
The "detonator protector" consists of a hollow tube with a tough outer case and a soft interior. The diameter of the center hollow section must be of size to allow the detonator and detonating cord laid side to side, to be pulled or pushed into the hollow section. The soft interior should be of sufficient thickness to allow for the tough outer shell to be partially compressed without damaging the detonator. The length of the "detonator protector" should be sufficient to protect all of the detonator and the connection between it and the detonating cord. The thickness of the tough outer shell will depend on the material used and the degree of protection required. The choice of materials would depend on cost and availability as well as the degree of protection required by the user.The detonator is pushed through the hollow section of the "detonator protector" where it is then connected to the detonating cord. The detonator and cord are then pulled back into the "detonator protector" until the detonator is centered. To add extra protection, the "detonator protector" could be sealed at each end by pushing into the hollow some soft pliable material or by wrapping a suitable adhesive tape around each end. The "detonator protector" is used to make the operation of detonating explosives safer by protecting the detonator against damage or accidental detonation until it is intentionally detonated. This protection is most important when the detonator is being used to initiate a series of detonators via a detonator cord in a controlled explosion. If the detonator is accidentally detonated after it has been connected to the detonating cord, it could cause the explosion to occur prematurely before the area has been made cleared of personnel and or equipment. There is no device being used at present to protect the detonator while it is being used as an initiating detonator. One of the main causes of damage or premature detonation of the detonator is if it were to be hit by a falling rock from the walls or roofs of excavations.
