A shock tube package system and a method of deploying a shock tube package system is provided. The system includes a covering made from a flexible or elastic material, the covering defining an interior portion. A bundle of shock tubing is disposed within the interior portion, the covering applying a compression fit on the bundle of shock tubing. The bundle of shock tubing having a first end and a second end, the first end being configured to couple with an initiator device, the second end being configured to couple with a detonator.

Coreless-coil shock tube system with reduced noise

A shock tube package system and a method of deploying a shock tube package system is provided. The system includes a coreless bundle of shock tubing. The system further includes an outer covering disposed about the periphery of the bundle of shock tubing. In an embodiment, the outer covering is made from a flexible or elastic material such as a textile.

An initiator assembly () is factory-pre-assembled and comprises an initiation fixture () secured to a triggering device (). The initiation fixture () comprises a unitary body, i.e., one without moving parts, and includes a bushing groove () to receive as an accessory an O-ring () to seal the device within the barrel () of the triggering device (). A fuse/fixture sub-assembly () includes an initiation charge () disposed at the firing face () and a signal-transmission fuse (). The initiation fixture () may be a 'universal' fixture having thereon optional external threads () and being otherwise dimensioned and configured to be received within either an internally threaded barrel () of a triggering device () or the barrel () of a triggering device which utilizes a fuse-holder cap (). The initiator assembly () may include a spool () on which the signal-transmission tube () is wound.
