Definitions

  • the object of the presentl invention is to provide a percussion fuze for a projectile which fuze automatically destroys the projectile and renders the latter absolutely safe before use and when in the launching or firing tube and ensures that it does not explode in the vicinity of the launching tube after having been launched.
  • This fuze is more particularly adapted for projectiles in the form of rockets which are red from a flying machine, with or without a gun effect, and explode in the air whether they reached the target or not.
  • the firing means of this fuze comprises in combination with a primer carrier, a striker device or unit in two independent parts or sub-units disposed one behind the other forward of the primer, the forward part or subunit being connected to the nose of the body of the fuze by a irst shear member which is capable of being sheared upon impact and constituting a dash-pot having a retarding liquid, whereas the rear part or sub-unit, which is subjected to the action of an automatic striking spring, comprises two elements which are interconnected by a second shear member, one of said elements constituting the vstriker pin, the latter being held in its inoperative position withdrawn forwardly of the primer carried by said primer carrier, in opposition to the action of said automatic striking spring, by an automatically retracted retaining device which retracts when a period of time determined by said dash-pot has elapsed after the launching of the projectile, whereby the projectile is automatically iired and destroyed upon displacement of said rear sub-unit under the eiect
  • the fuze explodes the projectile either automatically, at a certain distance from the point of launching which is a function of the amplitude of the displacement ⁇ of the primer carrier and of the striker pin necessary for ensuring the retraction of the retaining device, or upon impact against an objective or target situated at a distance from the point of launching which is less than the distance corresponding to automatic projectile destruction.
  • Fig'. 1 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view taken along line 1-'1 of Fig. 2, that is, in two longitudinal radial planes disposed at 90 to one another but shown to be contained in the plane of Fig. l, ⁇ of a percussion fuze embodying the invention;
  • Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken along line 2-2 of Fig. 1, the'elements situated on the right side of the axis ofthe fuze shown in Fig. 1 being shown in their normal p'si'tion'at '90' to the part situated on. theleft side of SaidaXiS; 'i
  • F-ig. 3 is a sectional view taken along line 3-3 of Fig. 1;
  • Fig. 4 is a sectional view similar to Fig. 1, showing the fuze at the moment when the retaining device is retracted to permit the striker pin to effect the automatic projectile destruction percussion;
  • Fig. 5 is a longitudinal sectional view similar to Fig. l taken along line 5-5 of Fig. 6, of a modification of the fuze more particularly adapted for launching with a gun eiect, and
  • Fig. 6 is a sectional view taken along line 6-6 of Fig. 5 after the part of the latter on the right side of the axis has been turned' downwardly 90 about said axis.
  • the fuze is adapted to be combined with a rocket or other projectile Rwhich is more particularly intended to be launched from a ying machine without a gun effect, that is, under its own means of propulsion, the latter being ensured solely by the thrust of the gases of the propelling charge housed in the rocket.
  • the fuze comprises a body 1 provided at the rear with a screw thread 2 for the purpose of screwing the fuze in the projectile R. Screw-threadedly engaged at 3 on the body 1 is a forward nose 4.
  • This nose comprises, in alignment on the ax-is X-X, a forward cylindrical aperture 5 to which is connected by two transverse shoulders 6 and 7 a cylindrical recess or bore 8 of larger diameter which coaxially adjoin a lowerV
  • the bore 9 is separated by a transverse Wall or parti ⁇ tion 10 from a cylindrical bore or chamber 11, whose axis Y--Y'is perpendicular to the axis X-X.
  • the transverse chamber 11 communicates by way of an aperture 12 witha cup 13 screw-threadedly engaged in a tapped recess 13a in the end of the fuze body 1.
  • a cylindrical guide tube'114 Disposedbetween the shoulder 6 and the wall 10 is a cylindrical guide tube'114 which divides the chamber formed in the body 1 and in the nose 4 by the bores 9 and 8 into an inner axial chamber and an outer peripheral chamber.
  • a tiring means A Disposed: in the axial chamber is a tiring means A and disposed in the peripheral chamber is a device B adapted to hold the means A in its inoperative position before launching.
  • a detonator carrier C Disposed in the transverse chamber 11 is a detonator carrier C.
  • the aperture 12 contains an explosive charge' D which forms a relay and is adapted to ignite the booster charge which in turn ignites the explosive charge or the 20 and 21 respectively inthe fixed guide 14, these two bores being'interconnected by a shoulder 22 in the vicinity of which is located the shoulder 19 of the carrier15 in its inoperative position.
  • the primer 23 is disposed in the carrier 15 toward the rear end of the latter and this carrier is extended rearwardly by a tube 24 which extends freely through an aperture 25 formed in the wall 10 and ordinarily extends.
  • the primer carrier 15 is urged forwardly by a spring body, when the projectile is launched, in opposition to.
  • a tube 32 which is axially movable in the bore 8 and tends to move rearwardly of the fuze body under the effect of inertia; the sleeve 30 eventually lreaches the position shown in Fig. 4.
  • the rearward movement of the tube 32 is retarded or braked in the known manner by a lug or stud 32fwhich moves along a zig-zag groove 34 formed in the tube 32.
  • the latter constitutes, in combination with the sleeve 30, the essential part of the automatically armed locking or retainingl device B which is completed by a sleeve 35l engaged in the bore 9 of the fuze body 1.
  • the firing means A comprises not only the primer carrier device 15--24 but also a striker device or unit consisting of a forward part or sub-unit P1 and a rear part or sub-unit P2.
  • the forward part P2 constitutes a dash-pot disposed in the bore of the nose 4. It comprises a cylindrical body 38 provided with a forward transverse end against which isxed, by a rivet 39, a shear plate 40 which is held fast in the nose of the fuse 4 by a formed-over ange 41 and is adapted to shear or break under a predetermined stress.
  • a piston 42 Movable in the bore of this cylinder without appreciable play is a piston 42 which a spring 43 biases rearwardly.
  • This piston 42 has in its outer face a flat portion 44 (Figs. 1 and 3) which provides a passage through which a liquid 45 filling the cylinder 38 above the piston 42 can flow rearwardly when the piston moves forwardly.
  • the liquid 45 is, for example, a silicone.
  • the other part P2 of the striker device comprises two members: a strikerrpin 49 with a rear point ,50. adapted to strike the primer 23, and a support member or ring ring 52 ⁇ against the balls 57 through the medium of a' conical face 56 on this ring.
  • These balls 57 f orm retaining members which prevent the part P2 of the striker device from striking the primer 23 under the eiectof the compressed spring 55.
  • These balls 57 are housed in radial apertures 58 formed in the primer carrier 15 and they bear against the cylindrical inner face 20 of the fixed guide 14 which maintains them in their operative ring ⁇ retaining position.
  • the diameter of the portion 21 ofthe bore of the guide 1-4 is such that for a given forward displacement of the assembly comprising the primer carrier and the part P2 of the striker device, these balls 57 pass. the shoulder 22 and are thus rendered capable of movingl asucient distance outwardly to the position shown in Fig. 4 to release the paft P2 of the striker device.
  • the detonator carrier C comprises a slide 59 which is movable transversely in the chamber 11 in the direction of the axis Y-Y. It is biased in the direction of arrow f1 (Fig. l) by a spring 60 whichVv is compressed between the slide 59 and a plug 60a.
  • the slide 59 is maintained in the inoperative position shown in Fig. 1 by the engagement of the rear endI of the tube 24 of the primer carrier ina blind hole 61 formedY in the slide 59.y This position is such that a detonator 62, carried by the slide between a forward aperture 63 and a rear aperture 64, is laterally oiset relative to the tube 24 and' the relay D in the aperturewlz.
  • the slide 59 When thel tube 24 is disengaged from the hole 61, the slide 59 is brought to an operative position shown in Fig. 4 in which-the apertures 63 and 64 and the detonator 62 are brought in alignment with the axis X-X, that is, with the axes of the tube 24 and relay D, under the eiect of the spring 60.
  • the spring 60 holds the slide 59 against the endof the chamber V11.
  • the slide is prevented from rotating about the axis Yv-Y in the course of its movement by a stud 65 which is engaged Y in a longitudinally extending slot 66 formed in the slide.
  • the fuze operates in the following manner:
  • the striker device. In the inoperative position of rest s hown in Fig. l, the striker device. has its rear part P2 held by therretainf ing balls 57 a certain distance away from the ⁇ primer 2 3.
  • the spring 55 is compressed and the whole of the tiring means A is held in its rear position so that the tube 24 extends a distance a in the chamber 11 and locks the detonator carrier C in its inoperative position.
  • the balls 27 are held in the recesses 2,9 of the primer carrier 15 Yby the sleeve 30 which is itself held in its forward position by the spring 31.
  • the forward end of the strikerrpin 49 is held a very short distance away from the piston, 42 and the latter is therefore urged against the washer 47 by the force exerted by the spring tingfchain or relay resulting from the lateral offsetA of the. detonator 62, which is locked in this oifset position by the.
  • the tube 32. is cansedV to move rearwardly relative to the fuze body 1 under the effect of in ertia and moves therewith the. sleeve.
  • the primer carrier' 15V and the lrear part P2 of the striker device move for. wardly under the elect of. the-spring 36, firstlywithoutencountering resistance, and thereafter, as soonasthe forward end of thestriker pin 49 encounters therear face of the piston 42,y in opposition to the action. of ⁇ the ⁇ spring 43 .and of the resistance of the liquid in the dashf pot of the forward part P1.'
  • the liquid above the piston 42 can only ow through the very small annular clearance between the piston and the inner wall of the cylinder 38 and through the passage created by the iiat portion 44 through which passage the major part of the liquid flows.
  • the tube 24 progressively moves out of the hole 61 of the slide 59 of the device C but the slide 59 is released only after the tube 24 has withdrawn a distance a therefrom.
  • This withdrawal requires a certain period of time depending on the distance a. This period of time corresponds to the period during which the projectile cannot be exploded by the fuze after the projectile has left its launching or firing device. Thus the projectile is just as safe during this period as it was before it was launched.
  • the forward part P1 of the striker device which had been held in position up to then by the shear plate 40, is pushed inwardly of the fuze body after shearing of the plate 40 and shifts the striker pin 49 rearwardly.- TheV pin 53-is then sheared since the ring 52 is prevented from moving rearwardly by the balls 57. The completely released striker pin strikes the primer 23 and effects an impact ring of the projectile.
  • the inertia of the relatively great weight of the head P1 constituting the dash-pot of the striker device causes a certain delay in the impact firing of the projectile.
  • Figs. 5 and 6 show a modiiication for a rocket or projectile R1 adapted tovbe fired with a gun effect, that is, with a firing or launching charge which is independent of the projectile.
  • the arrangement is very similar to the previously-described arrangement and differs therefrom only in the following respects:
  • the guide 14a is disposed directly between the rear face 67 of the fuze head or nose 4and the transverse;
  • the sleeve 309' movesY rearwardly in the fuze body, in compressing the spring 31, and releases the balls 27.'
  • the sleeve is pre vented from moving forwardly relative to the fuze body by the tabs 36 which engage the recess 37a.
  • the primer carrier 15 and the part P2 of the striker de-v vice are caused to move forwardly by the force exerted4 by the spring 26 and thenceforth the operation of the fuze is identical to that of the fuze described herein ⁇ before.
  • the projectile -associated with thel fuze is rendered safe for a period of time after it has been fired from the launching device or gun by arranging that the distance a the tube 24a extends into the blind hole of the detonator carrier C is greater than the clearance b provided between the forward end of the striker pin 49 andthe piston 42 of the head P1 constituting the dash-pot of the striker device, so that, after Ithe clearance b has been taken up, the following forward travel through the distance (a-b) of the movable assemblage (P2, 15") for releasing the detonator carrier C requires a certain period of time owing to the braking or retarding action of the dash-pot P1.
  • this solution is not essential.
  • the liquid could be made to ow solely through an annular passage between the bore of the cylinder 38 and the outer face of the piston 42, provided the manufacturing tolerances are respected.
  • the cylinder 38 could advantageously be made of an aluminium alloy or of-brass and the piston of methyl polymethacrylate is the liquid 45 is asilicone whose viscosity varies from about l ⁇ to 5 befV invention as deiinedfin the appended claims.
