  • Patent number: 4726292
    Abstract: The sub-munition is provided with an arming device comprising a striker member, movable substantially in the direction of its longitudinal axis, and a detonator carried by a slide movable from a first position in which the detonator is located out of the path of the striker member to a second position in which the detonator is brought into the path of the said member and beneath it; the striker member is provided with a threaded stem screwed into a threaded hole of a bush movable axially on the body of the sub-munition in such a way that the striker member is brought from the said first to the said second position upon unscrewing of the stem from the threaded hole; a pair of strip form flexible elements are connected to the striker member, one end of which flexible elements is fixed to the striker member and each of which can be disposed, when the sub-munition is expelled from the projectile, in a twisted configuration in such a way that the aerodynamic forces acting on them cause a moment to be transmitted t

  • Patent number: 4653401
    Abstract: The fuse comprises a first striker member which is movable within the body of the fuse and is able to come into contact with a detonator to cause it to explode, and a slide which is movable in a direction substantially orthogonal to that in which the striker member is movable and which carries the detonator; within the said slide there is disposed a second striker member which is movable from a first position, in which it elastically deforms a spring and is held at a predetermined distance from the detonator, to a second position in which it comes into contact with the detonator to cause it to explode, the movement of the second striker member being delayed by delay means operable to allow the movement of the striker member itself from the first-defined first to the second position only after a predetermined time.
