  • Multi-directional system for electrical bomb fuzes
    Patent number: 4027593
    Abstract: A charging device for electric bomb fuzes which may be oriented in more t one direction relative to the direction of movement of the bomb and still be fully operable. The device precludes the occurrence of accidental duds based on mis-orientation of the charging device with respect to the direction of travel of the bomb. The multi-directional charging device includes a unique dual inlet port and outlet port structure by means of which slipstream air may travel in either of two directions through the charging device to successfully actuate the electrical energy transducer positioned therein.
