ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a mine incorporating a pressure plate. Such a mine comprises, inter alia, a pressure plate, a pyrotechnic firing chain and an arming device. The pyrotechnic chain comprises a firing relay rotatably mobile in two substantially perpendicular directions to ensure alignment of the pyrotechnic chain by a double rotation of a support disc about a shaft and a mobile member about an axis. Maneuvering of an arming button ensures rotation of the mobile member; a clockwork timer device ensures rotation of the support disc. A further feature of the invention resides in the reversibility of arming, the opposite maneuver of the arming button ensuring that the mobile elements of the mine return to their intial position. In addition, an anti-blast device is incorporated in the pressure plate. The invention is applicable to anti-tank mines.
