DE3617888A1 - CARTRIDGE OR THROWING BODY - Google Patents

Description

The invention relates to a cartridge or projectile for Generating or releasing fog, smoke or a stimulus fabric.

Such cartridges or projectiles can, depending on the off education either thrown by hand or by means of a large-caliber multi-purpose pistol. At the Such cartridges or projectiles are used then fog, smoke or an irritant free.

From DE-PS 19 33 029 a projectile is known which also optionally formed as a cartridge and abge can be shot. This cartridge or litter body has one of several inside Pieces of existing solid, its active ingredient releases an irritant (e.g. tear gas) after lighting puts. The solid remains after lighting, So at the place of use, in its wrapping, the irritant emerges through openings in the casing. Farther it is known instead of a single solid to use single, fixed "sub-bodies" with wrapping, but also the feast developing the irritant hide body inside. In both cases it is now possible, the activated floor or the sub-body throw back to the launch base and so the effect of Pick up the object or even reverse it.

Based on this state of the art, this is available  ing invention the task of a cartridge or a projectile of the type mentioned to further that throw back to the launch base is no longer possible.

This object is achieved in that the festival or festivals body consists exclusively of active ingredient or be stand. With such training it is achieved that there is at least one psychological barrier, to touch the smoldering, smoking objects and throw back.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention the solid (or the solid) is opened in this way builds that at least the outer surface when burning one touching temperature reached. Um now also touching and throwing back with the help Preventing one glove is another preferred embodiment of the invention of the solid made from an active ingredient that at least according to Ignite or when burning such a low strength shows that it disintegrates when touched. This will throwing back was made completely impossible.

The solid is preferably made of one with one Smoldering bed mixed pyrotechnic set made, which is drummed with an ignition mixture, so that this essentially only on the outer surface of the feast body (or of several solid bodies) is present.

An embodiment of the invention is particularly preferred dung, which is a projectile body shell (either a throw  body or one from a large-caliber pistol flammable cartridge), in which a variety of Solids in loosely poured or stacked form is located, the projectile body shell by a Ge lap floor is locked. Can advantageously here the floor is also a sabot be educated.

Further features essential to the invention result from hand the description of a preferred embodiment of the invention, which is illustrated with an illustration.

As shown in the attached figure, in the embodiment of the invention explained above as a cartridge, the subject matter of the invention consists of a projectile body shell 2 , in which a large number of solid bodies or sub-bodies 1 with a cylindrical (or spherical) shape is contained. The solids 1 are from a corresponding pyrotech African set by tabletging or extruding Herge and consist exclusively of these sets, which are mixed with a smoldering bed and are drummed only with an ignition mixture. The sub-bodies 1 can be labored in bulk (as shown) or in an ordered stack in the projectile body shell 2 .

After filling, the projectile body shell 2 is provided with a floor 3 , which at the same time forms a driving mirror. In the center of the sabot, a pyro technical delay 4 is attached according to the enclosed embodiment of the invention. The projectile is patronized in a known manner and, if necessary, fired into a position above the target area, where the sub-body 1 is ignited and the sub-body or solid body 1 is ejected from the projectile body shell 2 only after the pyrotechnic delay has elapsed. The gas pressure of the tumbled ignition mixture on the solids 1 causes a separation from the shell casing 2 and the floor 3 . The solids 1 fall smoldering to the ground and thereby develop the desired cloud of irritants, fog or smoke. During the decongesting process, the smoldering bed develops so much heat that the solid 1 cannot be grasped with unprotected hands. In addition, the smoldering sub-bodies have such a low strength that they disintegrate when they are touched with the hands. Be created by this loading, it is not possible to take solid 1 and to transport it back to the launch site.

The cartridge case with ignition and propellant charge is marked with the number 5 in the attached figure.

Claims (5)

1. cartridge or projectile for generating or releasing mist, smoke or an irritant, with at least one solid, the active substance of which generates the irritant, mist or smoke after lighting, characterized in that the solid (s) ( 1 ) exclusively from active fabric exists. 2. Cartridge according to claim 1, characterized in that the solid body ( 1 ) is constructed such that it reaches at least on its outer surface when burning a temperature prohibiting contact. 3. Cartridge according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the solid body ( 1 ) consists of an active ingredient which, at least after lighting or when burning, has such a low strength that it disintegrates when touched. 4. Cartridge according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the solid body ( 1 ) consists of a pyrotechnic set mixed with a smoldering bed, which is tumbled with egg ner igniter. 5. Cartridge according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by a projectile body shell ( 2 ), in which a plurality of solid bodies ( 1 ) is located, and which is closed by a floor ( 3 ).
