A munitions fuze implements an operating mechanism comprising a piston, operating rod and toggle body bearing a detonator, aligned in a cavity within a munitions housing. In the safe condition the toggle body is out of line with a transfer lead and output booster arranged to charge an explosive when activated by the detonator. Overlying the piston is a primer and a piezoelectric device and primer that, when impacted by a striker produces pressurized gas for driving the piston and electricity for an electronic delay circuit. The piston moves the operating rod to bring the toggle body and detonator into alignment with the transfer lead and booster for detonation.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A munitions fuze, comprising an operating mechanism that is normally in a disarmed position and in an armed position when displaced; a power generator coupled to said operating mechanism for producing power when said operating mechanism is displaced into the armed position; and an explosive train having a portion that rotates substantially about an axis perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of said train between out-of-line and in-line orientations in response to power produced by said power generator, said explosive train including a detonator armed upon rotation of said portion of said explosive train between said out-of-line and in-line orientations, said operating mechanism comprising:a slidably mounted safety pin retaining said explosive train;a striker for activating said power generator;said striker having a safe position retaining said safety pin and being displaced from said power generator; anda manually operated activation mechanism having safe and armed positions, wherein said activation mechanism, when in the armed position, permits said striker to active said power generator and release said pin from said explosive train.
