ABSTRACT:
A device for setting fuzes in large-caliber shells, wherein the fuze is coaxial with the point of the shell and has one section secured stationary to the shell and a second section rotatable around the shell's axis. Each section has a groove in the surface which extends along a plane through the shell's axis. The device has a housing which is essentially round and has a handle extending out of it radially. The housing accommodates two concentric rings. A motor rotates one ring by way of a torque limiter. The second ring can either rotate independently of the first ring or be secured to and rotate along with it. The inner circumference of both rings matches the outer circumference of the fuze. The inner surface of the first ring has a pin that slides radially outward against the force of a spring. The inner surface of the second ring has a stationary radial pin. The pins are positioned to ensure that, when the device is applied to a fuze, the first pin will point toward the stationary section and the second pin toward the rotating section of the fuze.
