Detonating pyrotechnic rupture piece
An expansion tube of a detonating pyrotechnic rupture piece is open next to pre-established rupture zones and, inside said open expansion tube there is disposed a sealed bladder which contains a pyrotechnic fuse.
1. Pyrotechnic rupture part for rigidly connecting a first and a second element, said part comprising:
a profile comprising two at least approximately parallel wings defining between them a groove closed on one hand by a bottom which is formed by said profile and which is connected to the first of said elements, and on the other hand by the second of said elements, which is rigidly connected to said wings; and
inside said groove:
a pyrotechnic assembly which comprises a pyrotechnic fuse disposed in an expansion tube of flattened cross-section having lateral flanks; and
a sealed bladder which can be inflated by the gases generated by firing said pyrotechnic assembly,
wherein:
said wings of the profile comprise pre-established rupture regions;
said expansion tube is disposed in said groove such that its lateral flanks rest substantially against said wings of the profile;
said expansion tube is open on the side of the pre-established rupture regions of the wings of the profile; and
said sealed bladder is disposed inside said open expansion tube and encloses said pyrotechnic fuse.
2. Pyrotechnic rupture part according to claim 1 ,
wherein said pre-established rupture regions are located in the vicinity of the connection between said wings and said bottom of the groove.
3. Pyrotechnic rupture part according to claim 1 ,
wherein said open expansion tube has a U-shaped cross-section.
4. Pyrotechnic rupture part according to claim 1 ,
wherein said sealed bladder encloses at least one spacer for setting the distance between said pyrotechnic fuse and said pre-established rupture regions of said wings of the profile.
5. Pyrotechnic rupture part according to claim 1 ,
wherein said sealed bladder encloses lateral protective screens disposed between said pyrotechnic fuse and said sealed bladder.
6. Pyrotechnic rupture part according to claim 1 ,
wherein opposite the opening of said expansion tube is provided a rod of convex cross-section projecting towards said expansion tube.
7. Pyrotechnic rupture part according to claim 6 ,
wherein said sealed bladder assumes the shape of the inside of said open expansion tube and that of said projecting rod.
