Description
This is an instantaneous mechanical fuze. It has a spring-loaded striker with a retaining-clip release. The striker is held in place by a U-shaped, claw-ended retaining clip with claws gripping the ball-shaped end of the striker shaft. A bracket with holes for attaching the fuze to an object is brazed to the case. A standard adapting assembly with a percussion cap to accept a nonelectric blasting cap or time fuze screwed into the base. The safety pin extends through the top of the fuze case and the ball-shaped end of the striker shaft.
This fuze is especially adaptable for boobytrapping doors, windows, and objects that appeal as souvenirs. It is also used in mines, demolition charges, and light flares.
