SAFE-HANDLING ARMING METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORATING GUNS ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE In the representative embodiments of the safe- handling arming apparatus of the present invention disclosed herein, a spring-biased indicator is cooperatively arranged on an enclosed-carrier perforating gun for visually rep- resenting whether an obscured or secluded detonator enclosed within the carrier is either in an ineffectual or "safe" status or is in an effective or "armed" status in readiness for detonating one or more shaped explosive charges in the gun. In one embodiment of the arming apparatus of the pre- sent invention, a unique arrangement is provided for relea- sably retaining a selectively-movable detonator in either of two predetermined operating locations. In another embodiment of the invention, the detonator is instead fixed and isolated by a selectively-movable barrier whose presence or absence is shown by the indicator.
