Abstract
Abstract There is disclosed herein a container within which explosives, such as bombs, can be placed and transported for disposal. An exemplary container may be considered as essentially an elastic container, and is substantially cylindrical with an arcuate bottom and formed from a number of laminations of suitable material, such as fiberglass. A support member is provided in the container for holding the explosive charge from intimate contact with the container. The support member may be in the form of a net suspended in the container, foam material within the container, or the like. The structure of the container is such that if the bomb explodes the container delaminates rather than breaking apart in the form of flying fragments.

Claim 2
Dependent Claim
76 words
A container for facilitating disposal of an explosive charge comprising a body terminating in a bottom at one end, said body being formed of a plurAlity of laminations of resilient material which upon detonation tend to delaminate rather than fragment, and support means mounted within said body for supporting an explosive charge out of intimate contact with the interior of said body, said support means being a net coupled with a second end of said body.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
103 words
A container for facilitating disposal of an explosive charge comprising a body terminating in a bottom at one end, said body being formed of a plurality of laminations of resilient material which upon detonation tend to delaminate rather than fragment, and support means mounted within said body for supporting an explosive charge out of intimate contact with the interior of said body, wherein said body is substantially cylindrical and said bottom is arcuate, said body and bottom being formed of a plurality of layers of balistic fiberglass and resin, said support means being a net coupled with a second end of said body.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
103 words
A container for facilitating disposal of an explosive charge comprising a body terminating in a bottom at one end, said body being formed of a plurality of laminations of resilient material which upon detonation tend to delaminate rather than fragment, and support means mounted within said body for supporting an explosive charge out of intimate contact with the interior of said body, wherein said body is substantially cylindrical and said bottom is arcuate, said body and bottom being formed of a plurality of layers of balistic fiberglass and resin, said support means being a net coupled with a second end of said body.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
84 words
