  • Patent number: 5016535
    Abstract: A mine assembly comprises at least one charge module having a cylindrical shape, and an upper and lower circular surface end. An activating module for detonating the at least one charge module is operatively connected thereto. The activating module has at least a lower cylindrical end and interconnecting means provided at the upper circular end of the charge module. The interconnecting means includes a ring-shaped element having an inner diameter which corresponds to an outer diameter of the lower end of the activating module and to a diameter of other charge modules. The ring-shaped element forms an upwardly extending projection along the circular upper end surface of the charge module to provide a space thereon adapted for receiving a cylindrical end of one of the modules.

  • Patent number: 4440360
    Abstract: In an ammunition unit in the form of a shell (1), projectile or the like which is fin-stabilized, an extendable fin is utilized which is intended to be retracted during firing in a barrel or the like and to be extended as soon as the shell or the like has left the barrel. The extendable fin is intended to increase the stability of the ammunition unit in the ballistic trajectory. The extendable fin consists of two fin parts (4' and 4") supported separately in relation to each other and which in their extended positions are joined together and form the fin.

  • Patent number: 4421004
    Abstract: The present invention relates to cast-loading of explosive charge compositions comprising at least two explosive components for cast-loading of a plurality of moulds or shell bodies (6) in a closed transportable unit (1). The moulds or shell bodies (6) are preheated to a predetermined temperature essentially corresponding to the melting temperature of the explosive charge composition. With the predetermined temperature substantially maintained the moulds or shell bodies (6) are filled with the liquid explosive charge composition after which a vibration movement of a specific frequency is imparted on the filled moulds or shell bodies by means of ball vibrators (24). Heavy particles of the explosive charge composition sink to the lower parts of the moulds or shell bodies. After a predetermined time period for sedimentation the filled and vibrated moulds or shell bodies are then cooled to a low temperature for solidification of the charges.
