	Shot direction indicating device - Patent 7044236
		The apparatus of claim 5 where detonation of the detonation cord deforms the inner surface of said annulus toward the outer surface of said annulus thereby locking said indication device in the stationary position.
		The detonation cord 35 is activated on one end and transfers the energy along its length to the shaped charges (not shown) where they in turn are detonated by the detonation cord 35 for perforating the sides of a well bore.
		In the case where the down hole tool 10 is a perforating gun, upon detonation of the detonation cord 35 a shock wave is produced of sufficient force to deform the inner surface 22 and impinge it against the outer surface 23.

	Detonating cord Information
		Detonating cord, also called detonation cord, detacord, det. cord, detcord, primer cord, primacord or cordtex, is a thin, flexible tube with an explosive core.
		The velocity of detonation is sufficient to use it for synchronizing multiple charges to detonate almost simultaneously even if the charges are placed at different distances from the point of initiation.
		This is a typical "default" rating for connecting charges for blasting; lighter detonating cords may be used for "low noise blasting" and movie special effects, while heavier cords are used where the cord is employed to have some direct explosive effect.

	Detonating cord
		Detonating cord, also called detonation cord, detacord, det. cord, detcord, primer cord, or primacord, is a thin, flexible tube with an explosive core.
		While it has the appearance of nylon cord, the core is actually a plastic explosive, usually PETN (Pentrite), and it is initiated by the use of a blasting cap.
