Definitions
- the present invention relates to the art of electric blasting initiators.
- the electric blasting initiators known to the art have been characterized by several outstanding defects. They have not been completely im-' 1 pervious to water and/or moisture, especially under storage conditions and other rigorous conditions imposed in the field. Consequently these initiator structures of the prior art have not been' sufliciently durable to withstand the physical 35 wear encoui ltered in the field, including forces tending to pull the leg wires out of the cap, such. as severe tamping and the like. Furthermore their lack of resistance to abrasion, especially at the locus of the entrance of theleg wires into 0 the mouth or the shell, has been recognized as productive of many difllculties including short circuits, accidental firing, misflres, and the like.
- the object of the present invention is the pro-f .duction of a new and improved electric blasting initiator.
- a further object is an electric blasting initiator-so constructed that the leg wires are firmly gripped toresist forces which would otherwise tend to pull them out of the initiator.
- An additional object is an electric blasting initiator 0 of enhanced water resistance.
- Another object is such an initiator with improved abrasion resistonce at the locus of the emergence of the leg wires from the mouth of the shell.
- Figure 1 is a view in cross-section of the improved electrlc'blasting initiator of our'in- 65 vention.
- Figure 2. is an enlarged view of the rubber-like plug formed about the leg wires bearing plastic insulation.
- Figure 3 is a'similar view wherein the plug takes a different form.
- Fig. 4
- FIG. 3 is a bottom end view of the modification shown 5 in Fig. 3.
- the numeral I designates a metal shell into which the plug 2, formed about the leg wires 3, is crimped in water impervious relationship at 4.
- These leg wires 3 are provided with durable plastic insulation 5, preferably comprising an ethyl cellulose composition.
- This insulation preferably terminates within the body of the plug, as shown at locus 6.
- the rubber-like plug material is molded and/or vulcanized about both the exposed and insulated portions of the wires to form a. water impervious juncture at the interface between plug and insulation. This operation may be carried out by any molding process. We prefer to employ the pressure molding process described and claimed in our copending application, Serial Number 181,647, filed December 24. 1937, from which much of the subject matter of the present application was derived, pursuant to a requirement for division.
- compositions comprising cellulose derivatives except nitrocellulose, compositions comprising, respectively,
- polyvinyl acetals polyvinyl acetals, methacrylic acid derivatives, polythene compositions, and similar durable plastic and/or thermoplastic materials.
- This material preferably is disposed about the conductor as a solid sheath, extruded sheaths being preferred.
- the electric blasting initiator product of our invention possesses several outstanding advantages.
- the combination of the rubber-like plug molded about the thermoplastic insulation produces an electric blasting initiator of enhanced water resistance due to the effective juncture of the plug material with the insulation as a result of the vulcanizing and/or molding process in which the plug is formed.
- remarkably improved abrasion resistance results at the locus in which the leg wires emerge from the plug at the mouth of the shell, perhaps due to the slight, temporary give in the plug when pressure is exercised on the leg wires and due in particular to the effective seal between plug material and plastic insulation on said wires.
- thermoferred embodiments of our invention It will be loaded shell, spaced leg wires provided with insulation comprising a thermoplastic material entering the mouth of said shell, a plug of rubberloaded shell, the closure elements comprising leg 7 wires provided with insulation comprising a thermoplastic material, a plug of rubber-like material of the character described formed about said leg wires and in contact with said thermoplastic insulation substantially in the absence of the intermingling of said thermoplastic insulation with said rubber-like composition, said wires and plug being disposed in a position closing the mouth of said shell, and a cn'mp extending around the circumference of said shell in the region enclosing said plug forcing the shell wall into and deforming said rubber-like plug to complete a water impervious juncture.
