METHOD OF DESTRUCTION OF EXPLOSIVE DEVICES AND DEVICE FOR ITS REALIZATION Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: military engineering, destruction of explosive devices without blasting of them. SUBSTANCE: method and device for destruction of explosive charge by mechanical destruction of the means of initiation of blast and/or explosive without initiation of blast of the explosive device proper. Destruction is accomplished by a high-explosive effect of an explosive charge with direction of the shock wave front at an angle of 45 to 90 deg. to the axis of the explosive device detonator. The device for destruction of explosive devices has a body with a propelling chamber in the form of a cone expanding to the outlet, which accommodates, in succession in the direction of the outlet, the propellant charge and destructor in the form of fragmentation mass, the body proper is filled with a wave suppressor. EFFECT: enhanced safety. 5 cl, 1 dwg
