INITIATION MEANS Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: initiation of high-explosive charges. SUBSTANCE: case 2 accommodates electric primer 1 and cap 3 with hole 4. Cap 3 accommodates igniting compound 5, primary charge 6 in the form of compound based on mixture of fine-disperse carbonyl hexogen with ordinary hexogen on polymeric binder, and intermediate charge 7. Primary charge 6 interacts with main charge 8 through intermediate charge 7. Conical cavity 9 filled with part of the primary charge may be made in the igniting charge. The cap may accommodate inert material with an axial duct filled with retarding agent. EFFECT: simplified design and enhanced safety. 6 cl, 4 dwg
