Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Sprühkopf und eine Sprühvorrichtung mit Sprühkopf zum Ausgeben eines Abwehrsprays, wie sie aus der schweizerischen Patentschrift CH 612 363 A5 bekannt sind.The present invention relates to a spray head and a spraying device with spray head for dispensing a defense spray, as known from the Swiss patent CH 612 363 A5 are known.

Bei der Erfindung handelt es sich insbesondere um ein Sicherheitssystem zum Blockieren der Ausgabe von Abwehrspray. Insbesondere, jedoch nicht ausschließlich, handelt es sich hier um Systeme und Geräte mit einem Behälter oder einer Dose, die über eine Sprühdüse verfügen, die auf einem durch Druck zu betätigenden Auslösemechanismus montiert ist. Insbesondere handelt es sich um Systeme, die von Ordnungskräften eingesetzt werden und die nach dem Prinzip des ballistischen Strahls arbeiten. Bei solchen Geräten ist der durch Druck zu betätigende Auslösemechanismus üblicherweise über einen in einem Griff eingebauten Hebel steuerbar, welcher zumindest teilweise oberhalb des Düsenkopfes angeordnet ist und über ein Scharnier an einem an dem Behälter oder der Dose fest gebundenen, ebenfalls festen Griff befestigt ist.In particular, the invention is a security system for blocking the release of defensive spray. In particular, but not exclusively, these are systems and devices with a container or can having a spray nozzle mounted on a trigger mechanism to be actuated by pressure. In particular, these are systems that are used by law enforcement forces and that operate on the principle of the ballistic jet. In such devices, the trigger mechanism to be actuated by pressure is usually controllable via a lever built into a handle, which is at least partially disposed above the nozzle head and is fastened via a hinge to a firmly fixed grip on the container or can.

Derartige Geräte gehören üblicherweise zur Ausrüstung der Sicherheitskräfte und verfügen über einfache Einhängevorrichtungen, welche dem jeweiligen Bediener einen problemlosen und platzsparenden Transport ermöglichen.Such devices usually belong to the equipment of the security forces and have simple suspension devices, which allow the respective operator a trouble-free and space-saving transport.

Es ist im Übrigen nicht unüblich, dass es in vielen Fällen zu einem unmittelbaren Körperkontakt kommt, etwa zwischen Polizisten und Demonstranten, und dass Gegenstände wie die genannten, welche im Wesentlichen aus den die Polizisten ausrüstenden Spraydosen bestehen, den Ordnungskräften abgenommen werden können, mit sich daraus ergebenden offensichtlichen, gefährlichen Konsequenzen. Dies auch unter Berücksichtigung des Umstands, dass es in Situationen wie etwa Zusammenstößen und dergleichen zur Verwendung anderer Werkzeuge kommt und die Abwehrspraydosen unter Umständen nicht kontinuierlich überwacht werden können, wobei sie üblicherweise an eigens dafür vorgesehenen, zur Ausrüstung des einzelnen Polizisten gehörenden Halterungen oder Einhängevorrichtungen gesichert sind.Incidentally, it is not uncommon for there to be direct physical contact in many cases, such as between police officers and protesters, and for items such as those mentioned, which consist mainly of spray cans equipped with the police, to be taken away from the security forces resulting obvious, dangerous consequences. This is also taking into account the fact that in situations such as collisions and the like, other tools may be used and the defense spray cans may not be continuously monitored, usually secured to dedicated mounts or hangers associated with the individual policeman's equipment are.

Es ist eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, einen verbesserten Sprühkopf zu schaffen, mit dem die Sicherheit für den Benutzer verbessert werden kann. Insbesondere soll der verbesserte Sprühkopf der Erfindung verhindern, dass die Sprühvorrichtung gegen den Benutzer eingesetzt werden kann, nachdem sie ihm abgenommen worden ist.It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved spray head which can improve safety for the user. In particular, the improved spray head of the invention is intended to prevent the spray device from being able to be used against the user after it has been removed from the user.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch einen Sprühkopf mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.This object is achieved by a spray head with the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Gemäß der Erfindung ist der Hebel zwischen einer ersten und einer zweiten Extremstellung schwenkbar, wobei die erste Extremstellung eine maximale Entfernung von der Düse darstellt und die zweite Extremstellung eine maximale Nähe zur Düse darstellt, wobei der Hebel in der zweiten Extremstellung mit der Düse nicht in Berührung kommen kann; und ist ein Mittelkörper vorgesehen, der zwischen der Düse und dem Hebel angeordnet ist, wobei der Mittelkörper Abmessungen derart aufweist, dass er mit der Düse so zusammenwirkt, dass eine Betätigung der Düse erst dann bewirkt wird, wenn der Hebel weg von der ersten Extremstellung hin zur zweiten Extremstellung gedrückt wird. Außerdem ist der Mittelkörper in einem Sitz des festen Teils des Griffs untergebracht, aus dem er entfernt werden kann; und sind ferner Mittel vorgesehen, die ausgestaltet sind, um den Mittelkörper aus dem Sitz herausziehen zu können.The spray head according to the invention for placing on a container, in particular a pressure vessel containing a medium to be dispensed, in particular a defense spray, has a handle which is firmly connected to the container; a nozzle for discharging the medium, which is mounted on a pressure-actuated trigger mechanism; and a lever for controlling the pressure-actuatable triggering mechanism at least partially disposed above the nozzle, preferably at least partially above a head of the nozzle, and pivotally mounted to a fixed portion of the handle. According to the invention, the lever is pivotable between a first and a second extreme position, wherein the first extreme position represents a maximum distance from the nozzle and the second extreme position represents a maximum proximity to the nozzle, wherein the Lever in the second extreme position with the nozzle can not come into contact; and a center body is provided which is disposed between the nozzle and the lever, the center body having dimensions such that it cooperates with the nozzle such that actuation of the nozzle is effected only when the lever is away from the first extreme position is pressed to the second extreme position. In addition, the center body is housed in a seat of the fixed part of the handle, from which it can be removed; and means are further provided which are adapted to be able to pull the center body out of the seat.

Der in einem Sitz im Griff untergebrachte Mittelkörper, der bei Bedarf aus dem Sitz herausgezogen werden kann, bildet ein Sicherheitssystem zum Blockieren der Ausgabe von Abwehrspray aus dem Sprühkopf.The center body housed in a seat in the handle, which can be pulled out of the seat as needed, provides a safety system for blocking the release of defensive spray from the spray head.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung hat der Hebel seine Schwenkachse im festen Teil des Griffs an einer nahe einem vorderen Ende der Düse gelegenen Stelle, auf deren Höhe der Mittelkörper bei entsprechender Betätigung seine Wirkung auf den durch Druck zu betätigenden Auslösemechanismus entfalten soll.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the lever has its pivot axis in the fixed part of the handle at a near a front end of the nozzle location at the height of the center body with appropriate operation to exert its effect on the actuated by pressure release mechanism.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weisen die Mittel zum Herausziehen des Mittelkörpers aus dem Sitz ein Sicherungselement auf, das an einem Ende des Mittelkörpers so angeordnet ist, dass es gegenüber der Außenfläche des festen Teils des Griffs hervorsteht.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the means for withdrawing the center body from the seat comprises a securing element which is arranged at one end of the central body so that it protrudes from the outer surface of the fixed part of the handle.

Dieses Sicherungselement weist vorzugsweise ein greifbares, ringförmiges Element auf, bevorzugt in Form eines Einhängekörpers.This securing element preferably has a tangible, annular element, preferably in the form of a suspension body.

In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung eignen sich die Mittel zum Herausziehen des Mittelkörpers aus dem Sitz auch zum Einsetzen des Mittelkörpers in den Sitz.In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the means for withdrawing the center body from the seat are also suitable for insertion of the center body in the seat.

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist auch eine Sprühvorrichtung zum Abgeben eines Mediums, insbesondere eines Abwehrsprays, mit einem Behälter, insbesondere einem Druckbehälter, der das abzugebende Medium aufnimmt, und einem oben beschriebenen Sprühkopf der Erfindung, der auf den Behälter aufgesetzt ist.The invention also relates to a spraying device for dispensing a medium, in particular a defensive spray, with a container, in particular a pressure vessel, which receives the medium to be dispensed, and a spray head of the invention described above, which is placed on the container.

Vorteile der vorliegenden Erfindung sind in der einfachen Ausführung und Benutzerfreundlichkeit zu finden. Gänzlich erreicht werden vorgenannte Zwecke und Vorteile durch ein in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung sowie in den Ansprüchen dargelegtes Sicherheitssystem zum Blockieren der Ausgabe von Abwehrspray.Advantages of the present invention are to be found in the simple design and ease of use. The foregoing objects and advantages are fully attained by a security system for blocking the release of defensive spray set forth in the following description and claims.

Die Merkmale der Erfindung treten deutlicher in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung einer bevorzugten, jedoch nicht ausschließlichen Ausführung in Erscheinung, welche beispielhaft, jedoch nicht einschränkend, mit Hilfe der nachfolgenden Abbildungen erläutert wird. Darin zeigen, zum Teil schematisch:

In den Figuren ist mit der Bezugsziffer 1 allgemein ein(e) für die Unterbringung von Abwehrspray bestimmte(r) Dose oder (Druck-)Behälter bezeichnet.In the figures, the reference numeral 1 generally designates a can or (pressure) container intended for the accommodation of defense spray.

Die gesamte Vorrichtung besteht aus einer Düse 2, welche auf einem bekannten, in den einzelnen Abbildungen nicht hervorgehobenen, durch Druck zu betätigenden Auslösemechanismus montiert ist, wobei dieser vom Bediener über einen Hebel 3 gesteuert wird. Letzterer ist oberhalb der Düse 2, insbesondere auch oberhalb des Düsenkopfes angeordnet und mittels eines Stiftes 8 in einer Art Scharnier an einem mit dem Behälter oder der Dose 1 fixierten, festen Teil eines Griffs 4 befestigt.The entire device consists of a nozzle 2 which is mounted on a known, not highlighted in the figures, by pressure-actuated trigger mechanism, which is controlled by the operator via a lever 3. The latter is arranged above the nozzle 2, in particular also above the nozzle head, and fixed by means of a pin 8 in a kind of hinge to a fixed part of a handle 4 fixed to the container or the can 1.

Der Hebel 3 verfügt über einen Drehbereich innerhalb zweier Extremstellungen, wobei die eine die maximale Entfernung vom Düsenkopf wiedergibt, wie in Abbildung 1 dargestellt, und die andere die maximale Nähe zu ihm, wie in Abbildung 3 dargestellt, auf deren Höhe er aufgrund seiner Ausgestaltung weder mit der Düse 2 noch mit ihrem Kopf in Berührung kommen kann.The lever 3 has a range of rotation within two extreme positions, one representing the maximum distance from the nozzle head, as in FIG illustration 1 represented, and the other the maximum proximity to him, as in Figure 3 represented at the height of which he can come into contact with the nozzle 2 nor with her head due to its design.

Ein Mittelkörper 5 ist zwischen der genannten Düse 2, besser gesagt ihrem Kopf, und dem Hebel 3 angeordnet.A center body 5 is disposed between said nozzle 2, more specifically its head, and the lever 3.

Der Mittelkörper 5 weist Abmessungen auf, welche derart gewählt sind, ihn mit der Düse 2, genauer gesagt mit ihrem Kopf, erst dann zusammenwirken zu lassen (wodurch deren Betätigung erzeugt wird), wenn der Hebel 3 weg von der maximalen Entfernung hin zur maximalen Nähe zur Düse 2 gedrückt wird.The center body 5 has dimensions which are selected to allow it to interact with the nozzle 2, more precisely with its head, only then (thereby producing its actuation) when the lever 3 moves away from the maximum distance towards the maximum proximity is pressed to the nozzle 2.

Der Mittelkörper 5 ist in einem Sitz 6 des festen Teils des Griffs 4 untergebracht, aus welchem er entfernt werden kann. Es sind Mittel vorgesehen, welche dazu ausgestaltet sind, den Mittelkörper 5 aus seinem Sitz 6 herauszuziehen und ihn so vom Kontakt zum Hebel 3 sowie zur oberen Fläche des Düsenkopfs zu lösen.The center body 5 is housed in a seat 6 of the fixed part of the handle 4, from which it can be removed. Means are provided which are designed to pull the center body 5 out of its seat 6, thus removing it from the seat 6 Contact the lever 3 and the top surface of the nozzle head.

Der Hebel 3 hat seine Schwenkachse 9 über den Stift 8 im festen Teil des Griffs 4 an einer nahe dem vorderen Ende des Düsenkopfes gelegenen Stelle. Auf Höhe des hinteren Teils des Düsenkopfes ist vorgesehen, dass der Mittelkörper 5 bei entsprechender Betätigung seine Wirkung auf den durch Druck zu betätigenden Auslösemechanismus entfalten kann.The lever 3 has its pivot axis 9 via the pin 8 in the fixed part of the handle 4 at a location near the front end of the nozzle head. At the level of the rear part of the nozzle head is provided that the center body 5 can unfold its action on the actuated by pressure release mechanism with appropriate operation.

Dem erfindungsgemäßen Sicherheitssystem liegt die Überlegung zugrunde, dass es mit Mitteln ausgestattet werden kann, welche ein Herausziehen des Mittelkörpers 5 aus seinem Sitz 6 ermöglichen. Als Ergebnis soll so aufgrund des begrenzten Hubs des Betätigungshebels 3, welcher nicht unterhalb die in Fig. 3 angezeigte Stellung gedrückt werden kann, eine eventuelle Betätigung des Auslösemechanismus verhindert werden. Letzterer kann nur bei einem im Sitz vorhandenen Mittelkörper betätigt werden.The safety system according to the invention is based on the consideration that it can be equipped with means which allow withdrawal of the center body 5 from its seat 6. As a result, so due to the limited stroke of the operating lever 3, which is not below the in Fig. 3 indicated position can be pressed, a possible actuation of the trigger mechanism can be prevented. The latter can only be operated with a central body present in the seat.

Das Herausziehen des Mittelkörpers 5 verhindert, dass der Hebel 3, selbst wenn dieser in seine zweite Extremstellung niedergedrückt wird, mit der Düse 2 zusammenwirken kann. Der Vorgang des Herausziehens wird durch ein Sicherungselement 7 in Form eines Einhängekörpers ermöglicht. Dieses ist an einem Ende des Mittelkörpers 5 so angeordnet, dass es - wenn der Mittelkörper 5 vollständig in seinem Sitz eingelegt ist und sich zwischen dem Hebel 3 und dem Düsenkopf befindet - gegenüber der Außenfläche des genannte festen Teils des Griffs 4 hervorsteht.The extraction of the center body 5 prevents the lever 3, even if it is depressed to its second extreme position, can interact with the nozzle 2. The process of extraction is made possible by a securing element 7 in the form of a hanging body. This is arranged at one end of the central body 5 so that it - when the center body 5 is fully inserted in its seat and is located between the lever 3 and the nozzle head - protrudes from the outer surface of said fixed part of the handle 4.

Insbesondere können die genannten Einhängekörper aus einem greifbaren, ringförmigen Element bestehen. Sie eignen sich insbesondere zur festen Verankerung an der Ausrüstung zum Beispiel eines Polizisten. Wird ein Versuch zum gewaltsamen Entreißen der Sprühvorrichtung unternommen, führt dies über das am Polizisten zum Beispiel über eine Schnur oder eine Kette befestigte Sicherungselement zwangsläufig zum Herausziehen des Mittelkörpers 5 aus seinem Sitz.In particular, the said suspension body may consist of a tangible, annular element. They are particularly suitable for anchoring to the equipment for example a police officer. Will an attempt to violent Tear of the spray device, this inevitably leads to the police officer, for example via a cord or a chain fastened securing element for pulling the center body 5 from his seat.

Somit ist die Sprühvorrichtung zwar abgenommen, jedoch so lange nicht benutzbar, bis der "Normalzustand" wiederhergestellt ist. Demnach ist eine Bedienung der Düse 2 erst nach einem Wiedereinsetzen des Mittelkörpers 5 möglich, welcher jedoch im Besitz der Ordnungskraft verbleibt, dem die Sprühvorrichtung entrissen worden war.Thus, the spray device is indeed removed, but so long unusable until the "normal state" is restored. Accordingly, an operation of the nozzle 2 is possible only after a re-insertion of the center body 5, which, however, remains in the possession of the ordering force to which the spraying device had been torn.

Diese Einhängekörper 7, welche das Herausziehen des genannten Mittelkörpers 5 vom betreffenden Sitz 6 ermöglichen, eignen sich auch zum Wiedereinsetzen des genannten Mittelkörpers 5 in den betreffenden Sitz 6 und somit zur schnellstmöglichen Wiederherstellung der ursprünglichen Funktion. Letztere entfällt stets, wie bereits erwähnt, bei jedem Herausziehen des Mittelkörpers, da in dieser Konfiguration der Betätigungshebel 3 den Düsenkopf 2 weder berühren noch drücken kann, auch dann nicht, wenn er durchgedrückt wird.These hangers 7, which allow the withdrawal of the said central body 5 from the seat 6 in question, are also suitable for reinserting said central body 5 into the seat 6 in question and thus for the quickest possible restoration of the original function. The latter is always omitted, as already mentioned, each time the center body is pulled out, since in this configuration the operating lever 3 can neither touch nor push the nozzle head 2, even if it is pressed.
