Definitions

  • This invention relates to fuse compositions and to fuses for shells, having time.
  • the object of the present invention is to 7 provide a time-regulator as free as possible ofthe disadvantages referred to above.
  • the invention also consists in a time device forregulating the explosion of shells or the like comprising one or more time rings containing a form of black powder in which all or part of the charcoal ingredient of ordinary black powder is replacedby cuprene.
  • the invention also consists in time devices with fuse compositions comprising a form of black powder in which all or part of the charcoal ingredient of ordinary black powder is replaced by cuprene, substantially as described below.
  • Figure 1 is a part sectional elevation of a time ring fuse such as may be employed in connection with thepresent invention
  • Figure 2 is a section on the line 22 of Figure 1,, looking in the direction of the arrows.
  • I provide a timing device a for a shrapnel shell, this timing device being of known construction and including an inner chamber 6 acting as a firing device and fuse magazine.
  • the timing device also includes a series of rings 0 having grooves (Z out therein nearly the- Whole way round and provided 2 with holes or passages '0 leading to the firing device or magazine chamber 6.
  • the grooves d are also connected by holes or passages f.
  • the grooves d are filled with a powder similar to ordinary. fine grain black gunpowder exceptthat in place of all or part, of the usual charcoal ingredient, cuprene is employed.
  • This powder is firmly compressed at high pressure into the grooves drand the rings 0 are then mounted in the fuse head of the shell in the ordinary way.
  • the rings 0 may be made" of any suitable v metal, for example brass or aluminium alloy,
  • the channels may be lined with brass.
  • Shell time fuses as described above may be combined with percussion fuses.
  • a time device for regulating the explosion of shells and the like including a time ring containing aform of black powder in which at least part of the charcoal ingredient of ordinary black powder is replaced by cuprene.
