ES240441A1 - Percuting spolet with automatic destruction (Machine-translation by Google Translate, not legally binding) - Google Patents

Abstract

Percussive wishbone with automatic destruction at a distance from the point of launch, for "rockets" and other projectiles, characterized by the fact that its ignition mechanism comprises in combination with a fulminating shell that carries a fulminating device, a percussion device in two parts independently arranged one behind the other, in front of the aforementioned fulminating device, the front part forming a braking liquid dash-pot and being joined to the head of the fuze body by a first impact-cut element, while the rear part, subjected to the action of an automatic percussion spring, consists of two pieces joined by a second element that can be cut, and one of which constitutes the firing pin, the latter being kept at rest separated in front of said fuse to meet the aforementioned automatic percussion spring by means of a retention device with automatic disappearance when a time lapse detects the dash-pot has elapsed since the launching of the projectile, in such a way that the percussion of automatic destruction is carried out after said lapse due to the displacement of the rear part of the percussion device by the action of said spring in how much the retention device is eclipsed, while impact percussion, before automatic destruction, is carried out by the recoil of both parts of the percussion device after the cutting of said elements capable of being cut.
