Definitions

  • My invention relates to an improvement in projectiles.
  • Figure 1 is a view in longitudinal central section of the posterior end of a projectile 153m which my present invention is embodied
  • Fig. 2 is a View in cross section of the fuse stock of the projectile of Fig. 1, the plane of section being indicated by the line II--II, ⁇
  • Fig. l; and Fig. 3 is a view in cross section illustrating a detail of construction, thev plane of section being indicated by the hne III-III, Fig. 1.
  • a projectile including in its structure amovable member controlling detonation, a member which, when in normal inoperative position, does not afford the impartation of detonation from detonator to burster charge, but which, when under'the conditions of firing it has moved from its normal inoperative position to operative y position, establishes detonation communication from detonator to burster charge.
  • Detonation is a phenomenon exhibited by certain substances termed highexplosives.
  • the invention of my application Serial No. 5022 is directed to the use of a stationary detonator together with suitable control of a Vpath of detonation transmission from detonator to burster"char,f ,e .f1
  • My present inventionl isa further improvement in that samearrangementgz.
  • B is the booster charge which, as in those other cases, I shallsimply consider as part of the burster charge.
  • D is the detonator arranged within its safety chamber 14, and in this ca se having no lnormal motion of translation.'
  • the mission (which may be made or broken),
  • .safety chamber 14 is provided to receive the gases of explosion and relieve the intensity of the stresses incident to a premature detonation of-detonator D.
  • a plurality of these members is provided to this end.:I
  • the member may yield aside, and so be accidentallyshifted to detonation-transmitting or armed position.
  • no shock can: arm them both at once and so, by the provision of two, a secure provision is made against accidental ⁇ arming.
  • the runway 3 in which the membersv 6 are movable will preferably be a single runway extending diametrically across the center of rotation of the projectile, and that the members 6 are so weighted that their centers of gravyity lie on opposite sides of the center 'of rotation.
  • Means are provided ⁇ for holding the two members 6 when once they have been brought to operative or armed position against retraction. Any preferred locking means may be employed.
  • the pathway 13, and the pathways 12, in the movable mitting material such, for example, as trinitro-toluene.
  • each of said bolts provided with a supplementary path m parts 6 will be formed4 of detonation transof detonation transmission, the movement of said boltsypermitting the alinement of such supplementary paths'with one another and with the main path, and a locking means automatically securing said bolts against r ⁇ e' verse movement when once they have 1n.
  • kan explosive projectile a burster charge the projectile and in its shane consisting of a larger main body and anvattenuated extension, and', in combination'witha burster charge soIShaped, a detonator arranged at the remote end of said extension, and a make-and-break device arranged in said'extension'of the bursterV charge, such'make- 'and-break device including'a plurality of parts movable each in a different direction from a position of interruption 4to a position in which the continuity of the ⁇ ,said ex tension of the burster charge is established through it.
