Rate change devices and particularly improved arming devices
Abstract
Abstract THE DISCLOSURE SHOWS TWO FORMS OF ARMING DEVICES FOR BOMBS HAVING RETARDER FINS. IN BOTH DEVICES A G WEIGHT IS RELATIVELY ROTATED WHEN DISPLACED BY A DECELERATION FORCE. IF THE DECELERATION FORCE IS MAINTAINED FOR A PREDETERMINED PERIOD OF TIME, IN ONE DEVICE, THE BOMB IS ARMED, OTHERWISE IT IS NOT. IN THE SECOND DEVICE, IF THE DECELERATION FORCE IS MAINTAINED FOR A PREDETERMINED PERIOD OF TIME, THE BOMB IS ARMED IN A RELATIVELY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, OTHERWISE THE BOMB IS ARMED IN A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME. IN THE SECOND DEVICE, A SECOND G WEIGHT PROVIDES BIDIRECTIONAL RESPONSIVENESS TO DECELERATION FORCES OR OPTIONALLY RESPONSIVENESS TO BOTH ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION FORCES.
