Abstract: 22,287. Schneider, E. Sept. 26. Projectile fuses. -Relates to percussion fuses provided with a centrifugal safety device held at 'safe,' during the acceleration of the projectile, by means of an inertia sleeve, which sets back or tends to set back, against the pressure of a spring. According to the invention, the inertia sleeve g, Fig. 1, is combined with centrifugal segments e controlled by a coiled spring f, and, in a modification, an additional sleeve i, Fig. 6, is provided which locks the centrifugal segments until removed by the sleeve g after the acceleration is over; the sleeves i, are interlocked by tongues i<1> and recesses g<1> when the sleeve g sets back. In another modification, Fig. 9, the sleeve g bears against bevelled projections e<3> on the segments e by a bevelled projection g<2>, and the spring h presses the sleeve towards the rear instead of towards the front. During acceleration, the spring h is helped by the inertia of the sleeve g, and maintains the segments in position; but when acceleration is over, the spring h is unaided and cannot resist the centrifugal force on the segments which open out and become locked in the open position by the projection g<2> snapping on the inner side of the projections e<3>. The form shown in Fig. 6 also has a sleeve j, which helps to retain the segments by pressure during acceleration, and locks the segments in the open position after acceleration.
