Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Signalbecher für Signalwaffen mit einer in Schußrichtung axial offenen Becheraufnahme zum Einsetzen von Signalsternen, pyrotechnischen Erzeugnissen oder dergl., mit einem auf eine Mündung der Signalwaffe aufsetzbaren Becherfuß, der eine axiale Bohrung aufweist, die in eine im Becherfuß vorgesehene Kammer mündet, die mit der Becheraufnahme durch eine Reduzierbohrung im Boden der Becheraufnahme verbunden ist und in der Kammerwand mindestens eine seitliche Öffnung nach außen aufweist.The invention relates to a signal cup for signaling weapons with a cup receptacle that is axially open in the firing direction for inserting signal stars, pyrotechnic products or the like. which is connected to the cup receptacle by a reducing bore in the bottom of the cup receptacle and has at least one lateral opening to the outside in the chamber wall.

Derartige Signalbecher sind aus der Praxis bekannt. Bei ihnen ist die Kammer durch eine Querbohrung in der massiven Wand zwischen dem Becherfuß und der Becheraufnahme gebildet, so daß zwei einander diametral gegenüber liegende seitliche Öffnungen vorhanden sind, die dazu dienen, den Druck der bei Zündung der Knallpatrone entstehenden Schußgase in der Kammer zu reduzieren. Die Schußgase strömen daher mit entsprechender Temperatur und Geschwindigkeit aus den seitlichen Öffnungen aus, was bei unvorsichtigem Hantieren mit der Signalwaffe zur Folge haben kann, daß der austretende Gasstrahl den Schützen, insbes. sein Gesicht treffen und ihn verletzen kann.Such signal cups are known from practice. With them, the chamber is formed by a transverse bore in the solid wall between the cup base and the cup holder, so that two diametrically opposed to each other there are opposing lateral openings which serve to reduce the pressure in the chamber of the shot gases generated when the firing cartridge is ignited. The shot gases therefore flow out of the side openings at an appropriate temperature and speed, which, if the signal weapon is handled carelessly, can result in the escaping gas jet hitting the shooter, especially his face, and injuring him.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Signalbecher der eingangs erwähnten Art so weiter zu bilden, daß sich der Schütze den austretenden Schußgasen nicht mehr versehentlich aussetzen kann.The invention has for its object to develop a signal cup of the type mentioned so that the shooter can no longer accidentally expose the emerging shot gases.

Diese Aufgabe wird nach der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß am Becherfuß eine Strömungsleitwand angeschlossen ist, welche die aus der seitlichen Öffnung ausströmenden Schußgase in Schußrichtung nach vorn umlenkt.This object is achieved according to the invention in that a flow guide wall is connected to the cup base, which deflects the shot gases flowing out of the lateral opening in the shot direction to the front.

Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Signalbecher können die Schußgase nicht mehr seitlich, also quer zur Schußrichtung abströmen. Sie werden vielmehr durch die Strömungsleitwand in Schußrichtung nach vorn umgelenkt und können daher den Schützen nicht mehr treffen.In the signal cup according to the invention, the shot gases can no longer flow laterally, that is to say transversely to the shot direction. Rather, they are deflected forward in the firing direction by the flow guide wall and can therefore no longer hit the shooter.

Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Strömungsleitwand von einem zweiten Becher gebildet ist, der die Wand der Kammer und der Becheraufnahme in lichtem Abstand umhüllt und an dem vom Becherfuß abgewandten Ende eine ringförmige Austrittsöffnung bildet. In dieser Ausführungsform werden auf einfache Weise vorteilhaft großen Strömungsquerschnitte für das axiale Abströmen der Schußgase erreicht. Der zweite Becher kann im übrigen problemlos gasdicht an den Becherfuß angeschlossen werden. Auch ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die axiale Austrittsöffnung des zweiten Bechers in der gleichen Ebene liegt wie die axiale Mündungsöffnung der Becheraufnahme des Signalbechers. Dann werden die Schußgase vom zweiten Becher optimal weit geführt. Der zweite Becher kann aber seinerseits nicht zum Einsetzen von Signalkörpern oder dergl. Verwendung finden, wie es der Fall sein könnte, wenn die Mündung des zweiten Bechers über die Mündungsöffnung des Signalbechers axial vorstehen würde.A preferred embodiment is characterized in that the flow guide wall is formed by a second cup which envelops the wall of the chamber and the cup receptacle at a clear distance and forms an annular outlet opening at the end facing away from the cup base. In this embodiment, large flow cross sections for the axial outflow of the Shot gases reached. The second cup can also be easily connected gas-tight to the cup base. It is also advantageous if the axial outlet opening of the second cup lies in the same plane as the axial opening of the cup holder of the signal cup. Then the shot gases are led optimally far from the second cup. The second cup, in turn, cannot be used for inserting signal bodies or the like, as could be the case if the mouth of the second cup would protrude axially beyond the mouth of the signal cup.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung an einem in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel näher erläutert; die einzige Figur zeigt einen Axialschnitt durch einen Signalbecher nach der Erfindung.In the following the invention is explained in more detail using an exemplary embodiment shown in the drawing; the only figure shows an axial section through a signal cup according to the invention.

Der Signalbecher dient zur Aufnahme von nicht dargestellten Signalsternen oder pyrotechnischen Erzeugnissen. Er weist einen Becherfuß 2 auf, der auf eine nicht gezeigte Mündung einer ebenfalls nicht gezeigten Signalwaffe aufsetzbar ist. Dazu kann der Becherfuß 2 ein Außengewinde aufweisen und in ein Innengewinde in der Mündung der Signalwaffe eingeschraubt werden. Im Becherfuß 2 ist eine axiale Bohrung 3 vorgesehen, die in eine Kammer 4 mündet. Die Kammer 4 ist durch einen mit einer Reduzierbohrung 5 versehenen Boden 6 von einer dem Becherfuß 2 abgewandten, in Schußrichtung mit einer axialen Mündung 13 versehenen Becheraufnahme 7 getrennt. Die axiale Bohrung 3 und die Reduzierbohrung 5 liegen koaxial in der Verlängerung der Achse des Waffenlaufes. Die bei Zündung der Knallpatrone entstehenden Schußgase können durch die axiale Bohrung 3 des Becherfußes 2 in die Kammer 4 eintreten und die pyrotechnischen Erzeugnisse bzw. Signalsterne durch die Bohrung 5 aus der Becheraufnahme 7 abfeuern. Die Seitenwände 8 der Kammer 4 haben zwei seitliche Öffnungen 9, die von einer Strömungsleitwand 10 übergriffen sind. Diese in Schußrichtung 1 nach vorn weisende Strömungsleitwand 10 ist zum Becherfuß 2 hin gasdicht abgeschlossen, in Schußrichtung 1 nach vorn jedoch offen. In der dargestellten Ausführungsform wird der Signalbecher insgesamt von der Strömungsleitwand 10 umfaßt, indem der Signalbecher in einem die Kammer 4 und die Aufnahme 7 in lichtem Abstand umhüllenden zweiten Becher 11 angeordnet ist und der zweite Becher 11 an der dem Becherfuß 2 abgewandten Seite eine ringförmige Austrittsöffnung 12 hat. Diese Austrittsöffnung 12 liegt in der gleichen Ebene wie die axiale Mündungsöffnung 13 des Signalbechers.The signal cup is used to hold signal stars or pyrotechnic products, not shown. It has a cup base 2 which can be placed on a muzzle, not shown, of a signal weapon, also not shown. For this purpose, the cup base 2 can have an external thread and can be screwed into an internal thread in the muzzle of the signal weapon. An axial bore 3 is provided in the cup base 2, which opens into a chamber 4. The chamber 4 is separated by a bottom 6 provided with a reducing bore 5 from a cup receptacle 7 facing away from the cup base 2 and provided with an axial mouth 13 in the firing direction. The axial bore 3 and the reducing bore 5 are coaxial in the extension of the axis of the gun barrel. The shot gases produced when the firing cartridge is ignited can pass through the axial bore 3 of the cup base 2 into the Enter chamber 4 and fire the pyrotechnic products or signal stars through the hole 5 out of the cup holder 7. The side walls 8 of the chamber 4 have two side openings 9 which are overlapped by a flow guide wall 10. This flow guide wall 10 pointing forwards in the weft direction 1 is sealed gas-tight towards the cup base 2, but is open towards the front in the weft direction 1. In the embodiment shown, the signal cup is entirely encompassed by the flow guide wall 10, in that the signal cup is arranged in a second cup 11 enveloping the chamber 4 and the receptacle 7 and the second cup 11 has an annular outlet opening on the side facing away from the cup base 2 12 has. This outlet opening 12 lies in the same plane as the axial opening 13 of the signal cup.
