Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0262037A1] The device has loading means for bringing the liquid charge into a combustion chamber in order to detonate it and cause the projectile to be ejected. Before firing, this charge is stored in a reservoir chamber delimited by the tube, a piston sliding inside the latter and in a stop placed in the tube. The initial position of the piston is preadjustable by adjustment means controlled from outside. The expansion of the gases coming from the cartridge of the projectile causes a pressure rise in the combustion chamber and the penetration of the liquid contained in the reservoir through the piston which then descends in the stop (5). The liquid penetrates into the chamber (1) and detonates. <IMAGE>
