Abstract
A fuze mechanism (1) for projectiles, rockets, bomblets and mines which is of the type including a fuze housing (2) and a self-destruct device containing a pyrotechnic delay arrangement (10) and a firing pin (11), with the fuze housing (2) having a side opening (5) for a transversely movable detonator carrier (4) which can be moved out beyond the outer housing contour into the armed position and which contains the pyrotechnic delay arrangement (10) and a fuze detonator (7). To manufacture fuze mechanisms (1) which are simple and free of spin and whose self-destruct devices are additionally provided with a delay time that is as long as possible, the firing pin (11) for the self-destruct mechanism is pivotably fastened to the fuze housing (2) in the region of the side opening (5). Moreover, the detonator carrier (4), on its side facing the opening (5), is provided with a carrier member (12) which is in force-locking contact with the firing pin (11) and which, when the detonator carrier (4) is moved out, pivots the firing pin (11) toward the delay arrangement (10) so that the same is ignited.
