Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0499701A1] There is provided an arrangement for preventing a premature ignition of an active charge, to be ignited by an adjustable delayed-action fuse, of a projectile fired from a launching barrel by an ejection charge, the arrangement being based on a mechanical and a pyrotechnic safety element. The ignition path between a first delayed-action piece ignitable during firing and the active charge of the projectile can be blocked by a tubular sensor which is displaceable transversely relative to the firing direction and which, in its position blocking the ignition path, can be retained by an acceleration sensor displaceable counter to the firing direction and, as long as the projectile is in the launching barrel, by the tubular wall of the projectile. A second delayed-action piece likewise ignitable during firing and having a delay time shorter than that of the first delayed-action piece loads the tubular sensor by gas pressure in the direction of its arming position after the expiry of its delay time. <IMAGE>
