Abstract

A projectile fuse comprises a rotor rotatable from a safety position to a live position. A slide is arranged to immobilize the rotor in its safety position. A piston is operably connected to the slide for displacing the slide to release the rotor for rotation. A conduit communicates one end of the piston with air pressure generated in response to firing of the projectile to shift the slide in a manner displacing the slide to release the rotor.
