Classification: CPC F | IPC F

Claim 4:
5. The fuze according to claim 1, wherein the centrifugal lever of said safety mechanism is pivotally mounted around a pivot axis parallel to said axis of symmetry, between an unlocked position in which the centrifugal lever releases the inertial body and a locked position in which the centrifugal lever blocks the inertial body in a retracted position, the unlocked position corresponding to said storage and self-destruction positions, and the locked position corresponding to said cocked position, and wherein said centrifugal lever is arranged to move radially in one direction from an unlocked position to a locked position under the centrifugal effects of the projectile by compressing said return member to store radial kinetic energy during the flight, and wherein said return member is arranged to move said centrifugal lever in the opposite direction from a locked position to an unlocked position by decompressing to restore said stored radial kinetic energy at the end of firing when the centrifugal force is less than the elastic force of said return member.
