ABSTRACT:
A safety-and-arming mechanism for explosive device having a body including a slider, at least one latch adapted to translate between first and second positions to block the slider and allow translation of the slider, respectively, and a biasing device for applying a constant force to the latch to urge the latch in the locking position. The biasing mechanism includes a blade disposed at an end of the latch, and the blade is adapted to provide the constant force due to pressing contact against an inside surface of a launcher tube for launching the explosive device. The blade is adapted to apply a substantially constant force to the latch despite changes in dimensional tolerances between the interior surface of the launcher tube and the explosive device.
