Title: Improvements in and relating to Fuses for Bombs and Grenades.
Inventor: HORTON OLIVER
IPC: F42C1/06
Filed: 1916-02-23
Abstract: 104,204. Horton, O., and Macpherson, A. Feb. 23, 1916. Projectile fuses.-Relates to percussion fuses for grenades, adapted to operate by impact in any direction, and consists in the combination of a plug C for facilitating the insertion or removal of the detonator, a detonator-holder D, and a member E having a conical orifice coated with priming- composition. The parts D, E are both loosely contained within a fixed tube B and separated from each other by a spring F. A safety-stop H and transverse pin I are provided, the stop holding the parts D, E apart until removed prior to use. On impact, either the member E or carrier D moves forward, or the part D moves laterally, so that ignition is produced by contact of the end of the part D with the priming. The Provisional Specification states also that only one of the operative parts may be movabie on impact, or they may rotate. It also states that an ordinary cap or cartridge may be used to produce ignition.
