Safety and arming device for projectiles inertial lock with MEMS technology

摘要

The invention relates to a safety and arming device for projectiles and using micro-electromagnetic technology, such device incorporating a slider made mobile by the effect of the centrifugal acceleration with respect to the body of the device and immobilized in a safety position by at least one inertial lock, such lock incorporating at least one means to ensure its blocking in the unlocked position, wherein the inertial lock incorporates a counterweight having at least one straight groove whose longitudinal axis is parallel to the direction of movement of the lock, groove in which a fixed guiding pin integral with the safety and arming device is positioned, since the groove is of sufficient length to allow the displacement of the counterweight with respect to the pin, the slider in its safety position being made integral with the body of the safety and arming device by means of hooking means integral with the counterweight.
