APPARATUS FOR ANCHORING A RIVER MINE OR OTHER EXPLOSIVE CHARGE

摘要

An anchoring apparatus, permitting the application of river mines or other explosive charges, is provided in which the charge and the anchor constitute the two base points and the ignition device contained in a floater constitutes the summit point of a triangular configuration consisting of these three elements and of the three cables interconnecting them. The reduced dimensions of the floater held in suspense beneath the water surface ensure a restricted detectability by sight thereof and a restricted surface area on which forces can be exerted by the flowing water.
