Abstract
10,219. Hale, F. M. April 30. Projectile fuses.-Relates to projectiles, of the kind described in Specification 15,045/08, which projectiles are of greater diameter than the bore of the gun, and are fixed on a rod adapted to extend into the gun-barrel. The invention consists in a safety-catch for the movable firing-element of the fuse, this catch being held in position by a mass of slow-burning composition, ignited on the discharge of the projectile. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the projectile 1 carrying the rod 2 has a central tube 4 containing a fixed detonator 5 and a slidable firing-pin 6, which is held in its rearward position by a catch 8 engaging a groove in the rear of the pin. The catch is held in position by a plug 10 of cordite, or other slow-burning composition, which is adapted to be ignited on the discharge of the projectile by the impact of an auxiliary firing-pin 12 on a detonator 14. The gases due to the combustion of the plug escape by way of a hole 17 covered by a cap expelled by the pressure of the gases. A screw 16, locking the auxiliary firing-pin 12 in the safe position, and a pin 18 similarly locking the main firing-pin 6, are withdrawn by hand before discharge. In a modification, the catch 8 and the auxiliary firing-device are enclosed in the main firing - pin 6. Specification 26,764/11 is referred to.
