  • Patent number: 4676165
    Abstract: A fuze of the type used in a rifle grenade assembly with a striker, a rotor nd a rotor lock includes one or more improvements. One pertains to the striker to prevent it from reaching a detonator-striking forward position more than once. Once it advances to the forward position it is locked in it by a spring biased locking pin. Other improvements relate to the release of the rotor by the rotor lock. The rotor remains locked, i.e. in the disarmed state even after intentional launching. It is released to assume the armed state only when the launched assembly accelerates at a certain rate toward the target.

  • Patent number: 4567831
    Abstract: In a rifle grenade assembly a bullet trap and bullet deflector are incorporated to enable the launching of the grenade with ball ammo. The trap is designed to trap the bullet of a fired cartridge and use the forward forces produced by the trapping to advance a fore-located deflector which in turn actuates a fuse. A non-trapped bullet enters a deflecting cavity in the deflector, thus deflecting the bullet away from the fuse and the explosives.
