ABSTRACT:
A manifold (130) is configured to have a body portion (131) having at least one initiation port (132) for receiving an initiation device and at least one tapered boss (138) mounted on the body portion (131). The boss (138) has an elliptical cross-sectional configuration and a boss bore (140) for receiving a fuse or linear explosive charge (16) and it communicates with the initiation port (132). There is a clamp member (160) having an aperture (164) dimensioned and configured to generally conform to the boss (138), and tension means such as a set of bolts (166) for urging the clamp member (160) towards the manifold (130). There may be a bushing material (121) on the boss. The manifold (130) may be coupled to a separation device (23) that includes a frangible joint (24) through which is disposed an expansion member (110). The expansion member (110) may have a containment tube (120) and a linear explosive charge (16) within the tube (120), wherein the tube (120) and the charge (16) protrude from the frangible joint (24). The charge (16) is disposed within the boss bore (140) and the tube is clamped between the boss (138) and the clamp member (160).
