  • Patent number: 5565710
    Abstract: There is provided a process for manufacturing a granular igniter, which facilitates control of the igniter preparation, handling of the granule igniter and improvement in manufacturized yield. The present invention also provides a process for manufacturing a granular igniter which is free from toxic gas generation when burned and which has excellent fluidity. The present invention moreover reduces the number of manufacturing process facilitating the production process, and reducing production costs.An igniter containing boron and potassium nitrate are mixed together with water in a homogenizer to form a homogeneous slurry. The mixing ratio of the igniter to the water is set in the range of 1.0:0.6 to 1.0:1.6 in terms of weight ratio. The slurry is sprayed in a spray dryer where it is dried and granulated. Micropowder, which failed to be collected as the granule, is recovered through a cyclone, and recirculated as the raw material.

  • Patent number: 5482579
    Abstract: A gas generator composition, primarily containing perchlorate and cellulose acetate is provided to generate a large amount of gas without forming any substantial amount of harmful carbon monoxide. A metal oxide is additionally incorporated in an amount of more than 5% by weight and not more than 40% by weight. For example, 50 to 87% by weight of potassium perchlorate and 8 to 26% by weight of cellulose acetate are incorporated in the composition. The gas generator composition contains 36% by weight or less of bitetrazole metal hydrate, preferably bitetrazole manganese dihydrate, since it forms no corrosive residue after burning. The composition contains a nonmetallic compound consisting at least of nitrogen and hydrogen and containing at least 11% by weight of nitrogen. As such compound, nitroguanidine, guanidine nitrate, etc. is employed. The compounds preferably contains 10 to 83% by weight of nitrogen. The compound is preferably incorporated in an amount of 10 to 45% by weight.

  • Patent number: 4984519
    Abstract: A delay circuit for use in an electric blasting system including a capacitor for storing electric energy supplied from an electric blaster, an actuation circuit for detecting the stop of voltage supply from the blaster to generate an actuation signal, a circuit for generating clock pulses, a circuit for counting a predetermined number of clock pulses in response to the actuation signal to generate an igniting signal, and a switching circuit for responding to the igniting signal to discharge the electric energy stored in the capacitor through an igniting resistor, the actuation circuit having a zener diode with a threshold voltage. When the voltage supply from the blaster is stopped and the voltage across the zener diode becomes lower than the threshold voltage, the zener diode is cut-off to generate the actuation signal.

  • Patent number: 4899658
    Abstract: An electric detonator of the delay type including a housing having a metal portion and an insulating portion, a pair of leg wires extending outside through the housing, a delay circuit connected across the leg wires and generating an ignition current at a predetermined timing, and an igniting resistor connected to an output terminal of the delay circuit and one of the leg wires. In order to check the resistance value of the igniting resistor even after the detonator has been assembled, a by-pass resistor is connected between the other of the leg wires and a junction point between the delay circuit and the igniting resistor. A small measuring current is conducted through the igniting resistor via the by-pass resistor to generate a voltage drop across the igniting resistor. This voltage drop is measured by connecting a voltage measuring device between the leg wire and the metal portion of the housing.
