Detonator

A detonator (10) includes an elongate tubular member (12) which defines a longitudinally extending passage (14). At least one base charge (16 and 20) is located in the passage (14). A primary charge (18) is located in the passage 14 such that, upon initiation of the primary charge (18), a shock fron...

Zusammenfassung:A detonator (10) includes an elongate tubular member (12) which defines a longitudinally extending passage (14). At least one base charge (16 and 20) is located in the passage (14). A primary charge (18) is located in the passage 14 such that, upon initiation of the primary charge (18), a shock front generated by the primary charge (18) is propagated by the base charges (16, 18) in a plurality of directions. The base charge may be provided with an axial bore through which the flame front from the detonator initiator passes before detonating the primary charge.
