ABSTRACT:
A retainer for retaining a body loading assembly of a U.S. Army M42 or M46 eneral purpose grenade in firm intimate contact with at least one detonating cord, or an electric or non-electric blasting cap for use in explosive demolition of unexploded ordnance designated for disposal. The inner diameter of the retainer is nominally the same as the outer diameter of the body loading assembly with retention achieved by friction after insertion of a grenade body into the retainer. Holes in the wall of the retainer allow insertion and retention of one or two segments of detonating cord, or of an electric or non-electric blasting cap against the primer lead cup of the grenade body loading assembly for reliable initiation. The retaining clip may be configured as a short right cylinder with or without an attached spline, or as a truncated right cylinder, these configurations permit placement of the assembly squarely on the ordinance, or when in stacked or truncated configurations, permit insertion of the pointed portion into the ground or between individual items of ordnance for aiming the grenade to maximize an explosive effect.
