Problems solved by technology

Upon detonation, rapid combustion processes produced even by a small explosive device compress surrounding fluid media so quickly that shock waves are produced.
Also, the physical expansion of the hot blast combustion products adds to pressure loading of objects in its path, as well as generates radiation.
Humans may be killed by intense blast pressure alone, as this causes lung damage above threshold levels.
Below threshold conditions for fatal injury, blast pressure may cause damage to ears and lungs, and sudden accelerations that lead to spinal injuries.
Moreover, fragments from exploding cased explosive devices may lead to fatal in

Embodiment Construction

[0017] Referring now to the drawings, a container or transport case 10 according to the present invention is shown. The case 10 comprises an outer shell 12 surrounding a fragment-retaining layer 14, which surrounds a mitigating layer 16.

[0018] The outer shell 12 preferably has a rectangular cross-section, and includes a body 18 and a cover 20 which together define an enclosure, also preferably of rectangular cross-section. In a particular embodiment, the outer shell 12 protects the internal components and materials being transported from weather and incidental damage, and as such is made of a shock resistant plastic, for example a polypropylene copolymer such as Coroplast™. Alternate materials for the outer shell include wood or any appropriate type of metal such as for example steel or aluminum.

[0019] In the embodiment shown, the cover 20 is pivotally retained on the body 18 through hinges 22. The body 18 and cover 20 also include locking means 24 retaining the cover 20 in the cl...

Abstract

A container for containing an explosive device, including a mitigating layer defining an enclosure openable to insert the explosive device therein and closable to surround the explosive device, the mitigating layer reducing a force of a blast caused by an explosion of the explosive device, and a fragment-retaining layer substantially surrounding the mitigating layer, the fragment-retaining layer being resistant to a remainder of the force of the blast passing through the mitigating layer and retaining fragments propagated by the explosion of the explosive device, such as to reduce potential injury to a person in proximity of the container.

Description

RELATED APPLICATION(S) [0001] This application claims priority on U.S. provisional application Ser. No. 60 / 713,740 filed Sep. 6, 2005, the entire specification of which is incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to explosion containment, and more particularly to a container allowing safe transport of at least one small explosive device. BACKGROUND ART [0003] Millions of small explosive devices such as detonators, detonating cord, airbag inflators and fuses are made and shipped every year. Detonators, detonating cord, uncased explosives, and other devices containing small explosive charges are widely used by many security and military agencies, for example for the destruction of suspect explosive devices, disposal of unexploded munitions, and wall breaching during hostage rescue operations. These devices are also widely used in the petroleum industry, the entertainment industry, the construction industry, etc. [0004] As a result, s...
