ABSTRACT:
A compact safety device for a fuse or detonator for a weapon such as a bastic projectile to be fired or launched from a tube, is protected against the propellant charge gas pressure by a lightweight, yet pressure tight housing provided with double closure members. One arming detonator element out of a chain of such elements is mounted on a rotor in the pressure tight housing. The rotor is rotatable between an armed position and a disarmed position. The rotation of the rotor is controlled by separate safety elements so that the fuse or detonator can be armed only when it is installed in a weapon.
