A safety fuse for an underwater explosive, including a piston shiftable longitudinally to detonate the explosive, a diaphragm attached to the piston such that pressure on one side of the diaphragm moves the piston to detonate the explosive and ports communicating with one side of the diaphragm and the exterior of the fuse device for transmitting water pressure to that side of the diaphragm, thereby shifting the piston to detonate the explosive; safety devices which must be removed in order to enable water under pressure to contact the one side of the diaphragm; appropriate spring operated means for driving the piston to detonate the explosive; other protective means against inadvertent detonation. |

A depth charge igniter has a circumferential water pressure actuated shear pin between the cover and movable plunger adopted to hit a percussion cap, which shear pin may be adjustably engaged along its circumferential length to set a predetermined detonation depth. |

A hydrostatically operated fuse having a pressure sensitive movable piston fixed to a rack and pinion gear arrangement. The movement of the piston corresponding to the working depth of the fuse is transmitted by the gears to a rotating cam device which may be preset to actuate a spring driven runaway escapement mechanism at any one of a number of selected depths represented by the size of the arc through which the cam must turn. The escapement mechanism controls a firing pin release mechanism which is actuated a predetermined time interval subsequent to the escapement actuation. A soluble salt washer device prevents the pressure sensitive piston from being exposed to the ambient pressure for a predetermined time.

1. A surface seeking underwater demolition device capable of being ejected from a torpedo tube for blasting a passageway in an ice pack to allow an underwater craft to surface comprising a casing, a float removably attached to one end of said casing, said float causing the device to be buoyant so that it will rise to the underside of the ice pack, guide fins removably attached to the other end of said casing, a copious quantity of explosives located in said casing, a hydrostatically actuated switch in said casing, delay means actuated by said hydrostatic switch for delaying operation of said device a short period of time, a source of electrical power connected to one side of said delay means, an electro-responsive squib connected between the other side of said delay means and said source of electrical power, a releasing pistol located on said casing with said squib mounted therein, a connecting cable normally holding said float to said casing and passing through said releasing pistol, a cutter located in said releasing pistol for cutting said connecting cable when operated by said squib to release said float, a standoff cable attached to said casing and said float for suspending said casing at a depth of several feet below said float, an electrical switch, pressure sensitive means for determining when the casing has been suspended below said float and for closing said electrical switch, and detonating means connected to said source of electrical power by said electrical switch for detonating the quantity of explosives.

NOEL E |
An explosive bolt which is initiated in response to a predetermined hydrostatic pressure including a percussion sensitive bolt filled with explosive having a hydrostatic pressure responsive detonator attached thereto. The detonator includes a plunger having a firing pin attached thereto, the plunger normally being constrained in a retaining sleeve by a ball detent. A piston is slidably positioned over the retaining sleeve and prevents the detent from releasing the plunger until the piston has moved under sufficient hydrostatic pressure. A spring is provided between the plunger and the piston which becomes compressed as the piston moves under pressure thereby providing a forward biasing to the plunger.

A bomb-type underwater signal source is disclosed having a detonating mechanism wherein the rupture of a shear disk assembly at a predetermined ocean depth permits the ambient hydrostatic pressure to compress the gas within a cavity and raise the temperature at one end of this cavity to a level sufficient to detonate first a confined secondary explosive positioned at this end of the cavity and then the main charge.
