Warhead Safety and Ribbon Chute Holder.
Abstract
A safety and arming device for a warhead having a ribbon chute thereon. The device is a clip which retains the ribbon chute in folded position atop the warhead. The clip includes four legs spaced 90 degrees apart which engage the ribbon chute. The legs are notched to permit a 'bobby pin' safety device to be inserted through the housing of the warhead igniter. The same leg is provided with a downwardly extending offset portion which engages a slider having a detonating charge thereon and prevents the slider from moving to an armed position e.g., prevents the detonating charge carried by the slider from moving under a firing pin of the igniter. A hole is provided in the leg to permit a second safety device, a pin, to be inserted therethrough and in locking engagement with the igniter housing. (Author)
