Abstract: A fuze for a bomblet including a slider in which there is arranged a detonator triggered in response to an impact or percussion, and which undergoes a transition during the free flight of the bomblet from a safe or secured position into an armed position. Arranged in the slider is a hydraulic or penumatic cylinder-piston retarding device and a spring-biased self-destruct pin which is operatively coupled to the device, which has a self-destruct detonator associated therewith, wherein the retarding device is blocked until the slider is generally located in the armed position thereof, and in which the retarding device, in the armed position of the slider, will brake the movement of the self-destruct pin during a self-destruct time period and thereafter will cause the releast of the latter.

Abstract: A fuze for a parachute-stabilized or band-stabilized small bomb which rotates during flight, including a detonator arranged in a transversely movable slider; a detonator pin for blocking the slider in a secured position thereof through engagement into a bore, and wherein the detonator pin can be turned out of the bore by the rotating parachute or band through the intermediary of a screw-coupling in a housing. A pyrotechnic charge or composition is arranged within the slider and which serves as a timing element, which charge is ignited by a destructor pin supported in the slider, whereby the pyrotechnic charge will trigger the detonator at its exit side, and in the secured position, the detonator pin will block the resiliently pretensioned destructor pin.
