JET PROJECTILE WITH SEPARATING ENGINE Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: jet projectile ammunition. SUBSTANCE: jet projectile has a sustainer and an engine with a stage separation mechanism joined to it. An actuator mechanism of remote inertia action is installed in parallel with the projectile axis. The mechanism is made in the form of a non-conducting body with a fixed contact set, and a conducting body of inertia pressed by a power spring towards the stage separation mechanism. The body of inertia is made in the form of a cylinder with an inertial taper hole changing into a cylinder. The mass of the body of inertia and the force of the power spring depend on the claim and provide for generation of a signal to the stage separation mechanism at the instant of completion of operation of the projectile engine. EFFECT: enhanced reliability of engine separation from sustainer without any collision. 2 dwg
