Description
This cylindrical fuze, is designed for igniting undetectable mines. The case is reinforced with wedge-shaped external ribs. The fuze is simple in construction and functioning. The lower part of the case is in the form of a ribbed collar threaded to the base of the main body for attaching the detonator. The striker is held in place and supported by a plastic shear collar. The upper portion of the striker extends above the fuze case; the lower portion is tapered to fit into a mating sleeve.
This fuze is used in a variety of mines - the antitank Models 1947, 1951, and 1951 probe-proof - and the undetectable offset fuzing device generally used with the Model 1951 undetectable shaped charge antitank mine.
