| 摘要 | Rod expellng explosive apparatus is used to clear bushes and trees from foliage covered terrain. The apparatus comprises a box containing a linear explosive charge and at least one rod which is forcefully expelled at high velocity when the charge is detonated. The method involves placing rod expelling apparatus on the ground in a position such that the rod or rods will be expelled in a predetermined desired direction at a trajectory just above ground level and detonating the charge. | ||||||
| 权利要求 | 1. Rod expelling apparatus for clearing the terrain which comprises: a. a box; b. at least one partition disposed within said box extending substantially the length thereof; c. a linear explosive charge disposed within said box adjacent to one side of said partition; d. at least one rectangular rod disposed within said box adjacent to the other side of said partition, bounded on its side opposite the partition by a wall of the box and on its other two sides by bars; and e. means for detonating said explosive charge. 1.
