Definitions

  • This invention relates to new and improved fuseheads for instantaneous or delay electric detonators especially though not exclusively to those for ventless electric delay detonators.
  • Instantaneous electric detonators are invariably of ventless construction but in order that a delay detonator should be capable of a venmless construction it is necessary that the amount of gas resulting from the ignition of the electric fusehead and the delay fuse composition should be insuicient to create an internal pressure suliicient to burst open the closure at the mouth of the casing.
  • delay fuse compositions and fusehead beads whose products of reaction are substantially entirely non-volatile and which are -frequently referred to as gasless although they all yield a small amount of gas.
  • An outer skin of nitrocellulose or the like protective composition is custom
  • a fusehead orf-the kind described comprises in progressive ignition relationship a core consisting of a kernel of a priming composition whose products of reaction are substantially all .non-volatile and which accordingly burns with very little or no evolution of gas, and a layer of fa deagrating composition which in turn is Isurrounded by a protective layer and, exceptin the case of an instantaneous fusehead, one or a succession of layers of slower burning composition whose products ⁇ of reaction are also substantially all non-volatile and thus burning with very little evolution of gas, said layer or layers of slower Vburning composition, when in cluded, being interposed between the priming composition and .the vdeagrating composition.
  • the thickness, number and physical and chemical stru ture of ⁇ the kernel and any surrounding layers of com-l the' thicker will be the layer or layers 'fof gasless ⁇ delay compositions for any particular composition.
  • the normal method of applying layers of gasless, deiiagrating or im deed any other compositions to fuseheads of the kind de# scribed is that of dipping the fuseheads in a liquid containing the required ingredients for the layer concerned,
  • a binding agent for example, nitrocellulose
  • a solvent for example, amyl acetate
  • the invention enables the detonators in a delay series to be made shorter than when the conventional tubes filled with the delay fuse composition are interposed between an ordinary fusehead and the charge of the primary initiating composition, and if desired for all the detonators in a delay series to be made of the same length.
  • delay detonators are frequently used in blasting work where it is desired to detonate a number of high explosive charges in a pre-determined order and with pre-determined time delays between successive detonations.
  • the detonator employed for the detonation of the iii-st high explosive charge should be substantially instantaneous. It is well-known that the electrical ring characteristics of all the detonators in such an arrangement should be simready described, a gasless delay detonator with a very short delay time. s
  • gasless delay fuseheads according to the invention have successive layers (applied by successive dips) of (a) a gasless priming composition, (b) one or more gasless delay compositions, (c) a deflagrating com# position, (d) a barrier composition and finally (e) an outer skin.
  • the priming composition may be a mixture of red lead and iinely ground silicon, and for high tension fuseheads a priming com# position consisting of a mixture of lead dioxide and iinely ground silicon has been found satisfactory.
  • Delay compositions consisting of a mixture of bismuth and selenium powders, and delay compositions consisting of a mixture of antimony pentoxide and manganese powders have also been found satisfactory, and these have lthe advantage that, when applied in delay electric fuseheads incorporated in ventless electric delay detonators, such fuseheads may be initiated in certain inflammable atmospheres met with in practice, for example in coal mines where redamp is present, without the hot particles of the products of reaction which are scattered when detonators incorporating such fuseheads are ⁇ fired igniting the gases forming the inammable atmosphere, the amount of incendive priming composition normally used in the kernel of a fusehead being so small that it is unable to ignite the said gases.
  • Vvarying the amount of binding agent such as nitrocellulose in the delay composition ⁇ and that in particular a reduction in nitrocellulose content causes an increase in delay times.
  • the outer skin whose function it is to prevent the fusehead from bursting after initiation and before ignition of the deagrating composition (in the event of very small quantities of gas being 4evolved in .the substantially gaslcss compositions) may conveniently consist of nitrocellulose or ethyl cellulose and will in practice be merged with the barrier layer which normally also consists of nitrocellulose or ethyl cellulose, though the outer skin is, in the course of the manufacture of the fusehead, separately applied from the barrier layer, the nitrocellulose (or ethyl cellulose as the case may be) of the former layer having been dissolved in different solvents from those of the latter layer, as Will be described later.
  • FIGURE l is a cross section through a low tension and FIGURE 2 a similar cross section through a high tension fusehead, both according to the invention.
  • 1 is a piece of pressboard sandwiched between ltwo brass foil pole pieces 2; a length of resist- "ance wire 3 is soldered at its ends to the brass foil pole pieces 2 at 4, to form a bridge, a portion of the pressboard 1 being recessed at 5, in order to accommodate the requisite length of resistance wire.
  • One tinplated copper leading wire 6 is soldered to each brass foil pole piece at 7.
  • the resistance wire 3 is completely sur* rounded by a bead of priming composition 8 which in turn is surrounded by a layer of a first delay composition 9, a layer of a second delay composition 10, a layer of a deflagrating composition 11 and finally an outer skin 12, consisting of nitrocellulose or the like.
  • the resistance wire 3 is heated sufficiently to ignite the priming composition 8 which in turn initiates the delay compositions 9 and 10. These delay compositions burn at a controlled rate and eventually ignitethe layer of dellagrating composition 11, whereupon the fusehead bursts.
  • the fuseheads laccording to the invention are intended for use in conventional detonators and, when so used, upon bursting as aforesaid initiate the explosive composition of the detonators with which they are associated.
  • ⁇ -;'l ⁇ he high tension fusehead shown in FIG. 2 is constructed in design to operate in exactly the same way as the low tension fusehead shown in FIG.
  • the priming composition 8 is inself electrically conducting, and in operation a suitable voltage is applied to the .leading Wires 6, to produce a current through the priming composition 8 of suicient magnitude to ignite it. Thereafter the sequence of events is the same as for the low tension fusehead, described above. High tension fuseheads ⁇ are less commonly used than low tension fuseheads, but high tension fuseheads according to the invention may be used in conventional detonators.
  • Example 1 Low tension fuseheads, having a resistance Wire of 0.0013" diameter, were dipped in the fast burning mixture comprising 70 pants of red lead and 30 parts of finely ground silicon (i.e. substantially between 5 and l0 microns) which had been made to a suitable consistency in a solution comprising 90 parts of amyl acetate, l0 parts of amyl alcohol and 21/2 parts of nitrocellulose.
