  • v Figure l8 is a section on line 3--3 of Figure 5.
  • v v The fuse setting machine illustrated .is fitted with two setting cupsy so that two projectiles can be set therein simultaneously.

  • Thev safety ring is thereby shifted downwardy against the-action of its supporting springs .90 f2 and releases the setting bolts a and b which till now were locked in the engaging l l position, so that they can give way as soon Y as they are urged outward by the projectile, unless' the grooves of the projectile happento be opposite them, so that they can enter
  • the safety ring S is shiftabl1 and rotaty ably nounted' ing the cylindrica cup casing is guided by a downward projection 1W s1 in a corresponding recess bn of the lower setting body B, so that it takes part in the' rotation of the latter.
  • the setting body B is arrested in known manner in dependence on the position of safety ring S.

  • On the flange d, of a sleeve d whic is nonrotatably but under the action of a spring f2 axially shiftably mounted on the hollow tap c of casing C is arranged an arresting nose d2.
  • This nose can enter an arresting notch bn of the front face ofthe hub b5 only after on the one hand a controlling ring sa which by means of projections s2 is rigidly connected to safety ring S and abuts on the surface d1 of sleeve, d, is shifted upward by the springs f2 together with ring S, after the bolts a, b have entered the respective grooves of the projectile, which ring s3 65 thereby permits upward motion of sleeve d,

  • Coupling disk 7c is se- 105 cured by nose i2 engaging notch k2.
  • Body B is thus set in rotation, entrains the projectile and turns it relatively to setting body B until bolt a of the latter enters the respective groove of the projectile and stops the latter.
  • Now setting body B with Abolt b shifts relatively to the projectile until bolt b enters the groove of the setting ring of the fuse.
