The invention relates to an explosives booster (1) which can substantially enclose a detonator (2) and which comprises an integral fastening means (10) for positive retention of non-electric tubing (3) attached to the detonator (2). The primer formed by the combination of said booster and non-electric detonating assembly has improved handling characteristics and can better withstand rough handling.

[ The claims defining the invention are as follows:] [1.] An explosives primer comprising a booster and a non-electric detonator connected to a length of non-electric tubing, said booster comprising an elongate casing having an outer periphery and having an opening at one end such that the detonator is inserted therein substantially parallel with the longitudinal axis of the casing, said casing further comprising an integral fastening means adjacent said opening and in contact with said non-electric tubing for positive retention of the non-electric tubing of said detonator, said non-electric tubing being removably restrained by the fastening means such that if necessary the detonator and tubing, before detonation, can be removed from the booster, wherein said integral fastening means comprises a passage which is open at one side and which extends between said opening and said outer periphery and restraining means which allows entry of the non-electric tubing into said passage through said one side but hinders removal of the tubing from said passage through said one side.
