Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2014108904A1] A safety assembly for ammunition includes: - a housing (110) with an opening covered by a nose cap (130); - a firing pin (140) directed downwards having a head (132) with a shoulder protruding radially; - a locking means (146) which when in a safe position, rests between the shoulder and the housing; and - an interrupter (150) rotatably attached to a shaft (152) affixed to the housing and located along an axis parallel to the firing pin, wherein the interrupter has a first cavity (154) and a second cavity (160) for a detonator, wherein the head of the firing pin is configured to move downwards responsive to setback forces, thus releasing the locking means and forcing the tip of the firing pin to enter the first cavity, wherein the firing pin is further configured to move upwards responsive to a cease of the setback pulling the tip of firing pin out of the first cavity.
