Patent ID: 7331292

Claim:
An ordnance venting system to reduce the danger of explosion from heat induced over-pressurization in rocket warheads, comprising: a first rocket section comprising a rocket warhead section having at least a first connectable end; and, an adapter for melting at high temperatures comprising a first mating surface and a second mating surface, the first mating surface of the adapter effective to rigidly connect to the first connectable end of the rocket warhead section and the second mating surface of the adapter effective to rigidly connect with a connectable end of a second rocket section comprising a fuze section, wherein the adapter binds the first rocket section and the fuze rocket section, wherein a portion of the second mating surface extends beyond the first connectable end in contact with the rocket fuze section, and wherein the first mating surface and the second mating surface are non-continuous surfaces each in a different plane.
