Arrangement for production of explosively formed projectiles
First Claim
1. A device for producing an explosive formed projectile including a casing filled with an explosive charge, ignition means on a base side of said casing, and a metal insert covering the explosive charge on a head side of said casing, the device including at least three means arranged along a circle and at a distance from a longitudinal axis of the casing for causing a circumferential area of the casing to be subjected to different accelerations when a shock wave of the ignited charge reaches the insert, characterized in that said means for causing are provided in at least one of the insert, the explosive charge, and the ignition means on a circumferential circle in at least one of an external area thereof, and the casing on an external surface thereof so that one of the impact point of time and the impact energy of the shock wave differ in a circumferential area of the casing.

Abstract
An arrangement for production of explosively formed projectiles consists of casing with explosive contents, a fuse arranged on the base side and a metal insert which covers the explosive contents on the head side, in which case the projectile acquires wing-like symmetrical folds on its tail by means of the following. The insert and/or the explosive contents and/or the fuse in their outside area and/or the casing on its jacket features at least three inhomogeneities arranged at a distance from the axis of the casing in a symmetrical manner around the circumference such that in the circumferential area of the insert varied. Acceleration is achieved according to the configuration of the inhomogeneities or the impact time of the shock wave or its impact energy is different.
