A safety mechanism for the trajectory for a projectile fuse.The mechanism uses a symmetrical escapement of the cylindrical dead-beat type which does not comprise an inlet lip. The balance comprises two cheeks located one on each side of the escapement wheel, a cylindrical sector being provided on each cheek. Impulses provided by the escapement wheel are transmitted alternately to one of the two sectors then to the other sector, thereby causing the balance to oscillate first in one direction and then in the opposite direction. |

MUNACH ARNOLD S |
A mechanical ordnance fuze having an arming slider held by a timer controlled lock and a catch rod. Axially aligned with the catch rod are a pair of centrifugally opened detents attached to a shaft rotated by a wind driven vane. When the vane is rotating sufficiently fast to open the detents, the catch rod, released by the timer, passes between the detents and clears the arming slider, thereby allowing the slider to arm when released by the lock. Otherwise the catch rod is blocked by the unopened detents and when the timer operates to unlock the slider, it is caught by the catch rod and the fuze remains unarmed.

KRUPA THOMAS J |
An arming-delay mechanism suitable for use in artillery shells to prevent premature arming and explosion of the shell, employing an escapement including a balance which is ''''unbalanced'''' in that its pivot axis is radially further outward than its center of gravity with respect to the spin axis about which the mechanism spins after the shell is fired. It also includes two sequentially operating centrifugal detents for preventing accidental starting of the operation of the timing mechanism prior to firing of the shell, with the balance arranged to serve as an interlock between the two detents whereby the second detent cannot be actuated to its open position until after the first detent has been actuated. Arming is produced, after spinning of the shell releases both detents in sequence, by means of a centrifugally operated rotor having escapement teeth on it, which teeth engage the balance directly rather than through a gear train. The unbalanced balance responds to centrifugal forces produced during spinning to resist motion of the rotor more strongly than a ''''balanced'''' balance of the same mass, making possible a smaller, lighter and simpler mechanism for a given amount of delay, and the sequentially operating arrangement of detents provides a high degree of safety from premature accidental arming.

1. A tail fuze comprising in combination: a body having a nose end and a tail end, said body being adapted to fit into a fuze well; a cover at said nose end; a cap on said tail end; an air arming reduction gear cluster disposed in said body adjacent said tail end for transmitting a predetermined rate of angular rotation; a main setting shaft disposed in said body substantially parallel to the axis of said body and along a major portion thereof; a primary safety cam rotatably disposed in said body adjacent said tail end and coupled to said gear cluster and rotatable therewith, said safety cam engaging the end of said shaft disposed nearest said tail end to maintain said shaft in a substantially fixed position, said safety cam adapted to longitudinally displace said shaft from said fixed position to a first position upon rotation of said gear cluster for a predetermined time interval, said shaft at said first position being free so as to be longitudinally displaced to a second position when said fuze body impacts on said nose end; a preset timer disposed axially of said fuze body and intermediate said nose and tail ends; gear means operably connecting said timer to said shaft, said gear means locking said timer against movement during said fixed and first positions and releasing said timer at said second position; a rotatable timing cam coupled with said timer and rotatable upon rotational movement of said timer, said timing cam having a slot in its periphery; a stop mounted on the nose end of said main setting shaft and disposed within said body; a spring-biased stab firing pin axially disposed adjacent said nose end; a spring-biased rotatable release lever having bifurcated first and second arms, the end of the first arm contacting the periphery of said timing cam; a spring-biased rotor mounted for rotation adjacent said nose end; a detonator in said rotor, the second arm of said lever blocking axial movement of said firing pin towards said rotor, said stop engaging said rotor during said fixed and first positions to lock said detonator out-of-line with said firing pin, said stop moving from engagement with said rotor at said second position so that said detonator is aligned with said firing pin, said stop also locking and unlocking said timing cam during said first and second positions, respectively, said timing cam after being unlocked rotating until the end of said first arm enters said slot, said second arm then being moved by the spring-bias acting on said lever so as to unblock said firing pin, said firing pin thereby being free to strike said detonator and initiate detonation of said fuze; a rotatable tamper release cam positioned in said nose end, said release cam being biased from locking contact with said stop, on end of said release cam being locked against rotative movement by said stop during said fixed and first positions and unlocked for rotation at said second position, the other end of said release cam being serrated so as to firmly grip the wall of said fuze well at said second position; and means on said release cam to contact the end of said second arm; said tamper release cam and said means Thereon being so constructed and arranged that if subsequent to impact said body is rotated in a direction which would remove said fuze body from said fuze well, said second arm will be moved out of blocking position with said firing pin so that said firing pin can strike said detonator and initiate detonation of said fuze.
