Introduced: January 1990

Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Arming-means in fuzes; Safety means for preventing premature detonation of fuzes or charges > wherein a carrier for an element of the pyrotechnic or explosive train is moved > using a rotatable carrier > rotatable in a plane which is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the projectile > by the action of centrifugal or inertia forces on the carrier body, e.g. the carrier having eccentrically mounted weights or eccentric centre of gravity

CPC:

Arming-means in fuzes; Safety means for preventing premature detonation of fuzes or charges > wherein a carrier for an element of the pyrotechnic or explosive train is moved (F42C15/40 takes precedence) > using a rotatable carrier > rotatable in a plane which is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the projectile > by the action of centrifugal or inertia forces on the carrier body, e.g. the carrier having eccentrically mounted weights or eccentric centre of gravity

No child classifications to compare. This is a leaf node in both IPC and CPC.
