Device for the disruption of explosive objects
First Claim
1. A device for generating a liquid jet, the device comprisingan enclosure containing a plurality of formers, each defining a concave cavity partially enclosed by the former, each of the formers supporting an explosive charge, and a filler material adjacent the charge within the cavity, the filler material being a liquid, a gel or a non-metallic solid that will liquefy upon detonation of the device.

Abstract
A disrupter has a plastic box 1 with three semi-cylindrical plastic formers 2 each with a bag 4 containing water. Sheet explosive 13 is applied to the back of the formers.
Bags 4 may be filed with materials other than water, for example decontaminent e.g. sodium hypochlorite.
The formers may be replaced by a single former with three recesses.
