(54) | Detonator for a non-electric detonation system for blasting charges |
(57) The present invention relates to a detonator for nonelec- tric detonation systems
for blasting charges intended to be initiated by a detonating fuze (14) which passes
through a passage (13) provided for this purpose in the body (9) of the detonator
(5). A major characterising feature of the detonator (5) according to the present
invention is that a conventional percussion cap (10) which is immediately initiated
by the detonating fuze (10) is utilised for initiating the detonator. The invention also relates to a booster charge (1) intended for the detonator and provided with a reinforced central channel (16) for the detonating fuze (14). |
