| 6237495 | Self-destructing impact fuse A self destructing impact fuse including a cylindrical firing pin having a hollow centrifugal chamber for holding a number of spheres and a number of radial openings on its surface for exposing portions of the spheres when the chamber is spun. At one end ... | 05/29/2001 |
| 5625161 | Safety device for a spin stabilized projectile fuse, process for making such a safety device and spin-stabilized fuse having such a safety device A safety device to lock a firing pin of a spin-stabilized projectile fuse includes a flexible strip and a spiral spring. The flexible strip is disposed around the firing pin and has a first end, a second end and a length. The flexible strip is made of an ... | 04/29/1997 |
| 5003881 | Aerial flare and igniter Illuminating flare has an igniter in which a two-part inertial mass is gud for relative aftward movement from a safe position to an armed position under launching forces. One part of the mass undergoes relative forward movement to an ignition position un... | 04/02/1991 |
| 4969397 | Grenade-type projectile A grenade projectile has a projectile housing having a fragmentation length portion; an explosive charge accommodated in the projectile housing and being surrounded by the fragmentation length portion; a forwardly acting shaped charge liner bounding the e... | 11/13/1990 |
