Abstract

9425. Hathaway, G. M., and Hathaway, C. F. April 25. Fuzes for projectiles.-Relates to combined time and percussion fuzes. Fig. 1 shows the complete fuze with the parts in position after the projectile has left the gun, and Fig. 2 shows the fuze body with the dial removed. In the percussion device, the hammer b is provided with an eccentric firing- pin b<1>, which, normally, lies out of line with the percussion cap x. Upon being discharged, the projectile is rotated, and the inertia of the hammer b then causes it to bring the firing-pin and percussion cap into line. Accidental movement of the hammer is prevented by the spring b<6>. The composition ring c<3> of the time-device is carried in a groove in the flange a' of the fuze body a, and is divided by a block c<2>, which adjoins the igniting- passage M. The fuze is set by rotating the dial d' to bring the flash hole d<8> to the required position on the composition ring. The flash reaches the hole d<8> from a composition ring d', which is ignited by the flash of discharge. Accidental movement of the dial is prevented by spring pawls upon it, which engage in teeth c<5> in the fuze body.
