Definitions

  • Still another object of the present invention is to provide a device for upgrading the work obtainable from ordinarily low sensitivity bulk explosives which permits ready admission of such explosives into bore holes around and in contact with said device.
  • the device of the instant invention useful in effecting the upgrading of explosive work of a given explosive in cylindrical form is a substantially circular member, preferably having a slight curvature so as to be essentially saucer-shaped and defining openings within the wall of said member.
  • FIGURE 1 presents a lateral view of one embodiment of a circular disc, partially cutaway.
  • FIGURE 2 shows a top view of the disc of FIGURE 1.
  • FIGURE 3 shows an explosive device which comprises in combination a cylindrical explosive and saucer shaped discs confined in a bore hole.
  • the circular substantially saucer-shaped disc 11 has a thick outer rim 12. having a notch 13 on its top side 14 and a second notch 15 on the bottom side 16. These notches are so designed that they permit self-stacking of discs 11 one on top of another by fitting notch 15 on the bottom of one disc into notch 13 on the top of another disc.
  • a sloping saucer-shaped wall or extension 17 leads inwardly from the inside wall 18 of the rim 12 and connects this rim 12 with the rim 19 of a central circular reinforcing member 2%) in the shape of a bottom of a. saucer and defining a center opening 2.1.
  • the extension 17 further defines a series of openings 22; spaced at equal intervals around the saucer shaped wall 17. Each opening 22 extends in length over almost the entire section of the wall 17 between the rim .12 and the reinforcing member 20 and is defined in width by the extent of a twenty degree angle extending outward [from the center axis of the opening 21.
  • the circular center opening 21 is designed to accommodate an explosive detonator, such as a shaped charge.
  • an explosive detonator such as a shaped charge.
  • this opening will hold the shaped charge so that its principal axis of detonation is normal to the plane of the diameter of this opening.
  • the discs can be made from a variety of conducting and nonconducting materials but preferably will be fabricated from a light metal such as magnesium, aluminum, magnesium alloy or an aluminum alloy.
  • the devices are fabricated by any of a. variety of means; e.g., sand casting, stamping, deep drawing, permanent mold casting, die casting, forging, etc.
  • a particularly useful and commercially acceptable disc is prepared by die casting utilizing, for example, ASI M designated AZ91B magnesium alloy (nominal composition 9 percent aluminum, 0.15 percent manganese, 0.7 percent zinc, balance magnesium) or the ASIM designated SO84 aluminum alloy (nominal composition 8-9 percent silicon, 3.5 percent copper, balance aluminum).
  • the discs themselves are prepared having an outside diameter from about 3 inches to about 16 inches, but for most commercial blasting the discs will be from about 6 to about '12 inches in outside diameter so as to be accommodated by the corresponding diametered b o-re holes.
  • the thickness of the outer rim 12 and rim 1-9 of the inner circular member 2% are such so as to give dimensional stability to the disc while the extension 17 joining these can be of a minimum wall thickness as is consistent with non-premium casting costs.
  • a comparative set of tests was run in a series of 9 inch diameter commercial bore holes drilled in taco-nite.
  • One set of holes was loaded to a depth of about 30 feet with coarse metal chips (50-50 magnesium and aluminum) and had perforated saucer-like discs placed laterally at about 3 foot intervals up through the bore hole.
  • a shaped charge initiator, armed with P-rimacord, was placed in the center opening of the top disc before this was lowered into the bore hole.
  • a liquid ammoniacal solution of ammonium nitrate (containing on a weight basis 4-9 percent water, 25-3 0 percent ammonia, balance ammonium nitrate) was poured into the bore hole. This solution percolated through the metal, passing through the openings of the discs and filled the bore hole to the lateral movement outward from the bench face of readily shovelable rock was produced.
  • An explosive device providing upgraded explosive 3,112,701 Patented Dec. 3., 1963 work which comprises in combination a cylindrical explosive having positioned therein at intervals laterally along the length of said explosive electron conducting substantially saucer-shaped discs and a confining structure for said explosive and discs, said discs having a thick continuous outer rim, said rim having a notch on the top and a notch on the bottom, said notch on the top of said rim of said saucer-shaped disc fitting said notch on the bottom of another of said saucer-shaped discs whereby said discs can be self-stacked, a thin wall extending inwardly from said continuous outer rim to the rim of a central circular reinforcing member, said thin Wall defining a series of openings spaced at equal intervals around said wall and extending in length over almost the entire section of the thin wall between said continuous outer rim and the rim of said central circular reinforcing member and said circular reinforcing member defining a center opening.
  • An explosive device providing upgraded explosive work from low sensitivity bulk explosives confined in a bore hole which comprises in combination a bore hole, a bulk explosive in cylindrical form of substantially the same diameter as said bore hole and light metal substantially saucer-shaped discs, said discs being positioned laterally within said explosive at intervals along the length of said cylindrical explosive, said discs being substantially of the same diameter as said cylindrical explosive, and said cylindrical explosive with said discs being positioned in said bore hole, said discs having a continuous, thick outer rim, said rim having a notch on the top and a notch on the bottom, said notch on the top of said rim of said saucer-sharper disc fitting said notch on the bottom of another of said saucer-shaped discs whereby said discs can be self-stacked, a thin Wall extending inwardly from said continuous outer rim to the rim of a central circular reinforcing member, said thin wall defining a series of openings spaced at equal intervals around said wall, each of said openings extending in length over almost the entire section
  • each of said light metal discs is a die cast magnesium alloy article and the center opening of the circular reinforcing member accommodates a shaped charge.
