Abstract
A bi-directional explosive transfer subassembly ( ) for coupling two explosive tools ( ) comprises first ( ) and second ( ) explosive carrying members that respectively define first ( ) and second ( ) explosive cavities. A ball end ( ) of the first explosive carrying member ( ) is slidingly received in a socket ( ) of the second explosive carrying member ( ) such that the first ( ) and second ( ) explosive carrying members are rotatable and angularly displaceable relative to one another. A first explosive device ( ) is disposed in the first explosive cavity ( ) and a second explosive device ( ) is disposed in the second explosive cavity ( ). The first ( ) and second ( ) explosive devices are spaced apart such that when one of the explosive devices ( ) is initiated, the other of the explosive devices ( ) will in turn be initiated.
