  • Publication number: 20220339864
    Abstract: A method for producing a composite body from at least two partial bodies, at least one of the partial bodies being produced in an additive manufacturing process, includes exposing the at least two partial bodies to a solvent atmosphere, so that one surface of the partial body is smoothed. The at least two partial bodies are placed in the chamber in such a way that they touch at least one joining surface and that the solvent atmosphere creates a material connection between the at least two partial bodies on the at least one joining surface.

  • Publication number: 20220343035
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for dividing a virtual three-dimensional overall model of a body into at least two virtual partial models, includes: Creating a virtual separating surface for the overall model of the body, which has a three-dimensional cell-conforming shape; Creating the overall model of the body with a lattice structure formed from a plurality of cells; and Dividing the overall model along the cell-conforming separating surface into two partial models, so that when the overall model is divided, common struts of the lattice structure, which are each part of at least one cell of one partial model and part of at least one adjacent cell of the other partial model are divided by means of the cell-conforming separating surface in such a way that the corresponding cells remain closed.

  • Patent number: 11098995
    Abstract: An ignition device (1) for military or police used having a mechanical trigger (2), a shock tube (3) of variable length, blasting cap (4), whereby the blasting cap (4) with the trigger (2) and the shock tube (3) are accommodated in a protective pipe (8) sealed at both ends by means of sealing discs (13) or end plates (10). The shock tube (3) surrounds the trigger (2) and blasting cap (4) and so can be easily pulled out of the protective pipe (8) after the locking device (16, 52) is released. The protective pipe (8) is enclosed in a shrink sleeve (34), as is the shock tube (3), so that the system is suitable for underwater use as well.

  • Patent number: 9551556
    Abstract: The necessary ESD safety for chemical detonators 1 is ensured by the fact that the sleeve 2 of the chemical detonator 1 is closely encompassed by an aluminum sleeve 20, the ignition pill 5 is sealed in addition by a casting compound 21 and a predetermined flashover position 26 is provided for the priming wires 3, 4.

  • Patent number: 4878430
    Abstract: A detonator pellet includes a composite insulating member made of a synthetic resin or a ceramic material, two wires being embedded during manufacture of the member which wires extend in and, respectively, on surfaces of a central part of the insulating member so that the wires, in this way, are supported so well that an ignition bridge can be directly attached to the ends of the wires by soldering, welding or bonding.

  • Patent number: 4730236
    Abstract: In order to avoid embedding a sensitive component in a resinous potting material, as usual, a prefabricated protective housing is used which includes a prefabricated housing body in which the sensitive component is inserted, initially with a clearance at one end of the component. A deformation zone of the housing body is plastically deformed in order to fix the component in place in an axial direction by clamping. Then an elastically deformable lid is attached to the housing body, this lid maintaining the component radially in contact against a seat. The protective housing is especially suited for use in devices which contain explosives because no dangerous working materials are utilized during the encapsulation or encasement process and, consequently, there is no exudation of aggressive resin ingredients.
