Abstract

488,909. Projectile fuzes. BIRKIGT, M. Nov. 5, 1937, No. 30408. Convention date, Sept. 28. [Class 9 (i)] Relates to percussion fuzes of the kind in which the primer is fired by the heat of compression of air in a chamber in the nose of the projectile, examples of which are described in Specifications 404,549 and 407,644. According to the invention the chamber 1 in the nose of the projectile is connected at its rear end by a throttle opening 3 to a rear chamber 4 in which the primer 2 is located. The front edge 6 of the chamber 1 is made sharp to ensure the cutting of a round plug in the target. The chamber is closed by a thin cap 7. The throttle opening is closed by centrifugal segments 10 held in place by the bevelled rear edge of a spring urged sleeve 12 until acceleration of discharge has ceased and centrifugal force wedges the segments outwards. A ball bearing may be provided to delay the transmission of rotation to the segments.
