Abstract
The present invention relates to an arrangement in a smoke hand grenade, and for the objective of achieving an instantaneous creation of a smoke screen, specifically for self screening of an individual soldier, there is according to the invention suggested a container holding a liquid smoke material (9a) separated from a composition (8a) which after bursting neutralizes the acid by-products being formed after the liquid has reacted with the air moisture whilst emitting smoke.
Description
- The present invention relates to an arrangement for spontaneously establishing a smoke screen specifically for self screening of the individual soldier. More specifically, the invention relates to an arrangement in a smoke hand grenade comprising a container which per se holds a liquid smoke material.
- The present invention is developed in connection with rapid self screening of the visible and proximity infrared spectral range of a soldier in a critical combat situation.
- Existing smoke hand grenades are based on combustion of a pyrotechnical composition for generating a relatively toxic smoke which substantially comprises zink chloride. By unprofessional use of this smoke deaths have occured. Several userlands within NATO have therefore a desire to exchange this type of smoke when a smoke can be provided which is less poisonous and preferably just as effective. It is expected that the smoke thus will not comply with the environment requirements to which smoke ammunition will be subjected in the future. Further, this type of smoke has a limited application during training in dry vegetation since it can cause fire.
- GB-A-1 149 982 (preamble of claim 1) discloses a shell comprising inter alia a metal casing wherein a liquid smoke material is absorbed in a powder (calcium silicate, neutral) and is located in the cavity of the grenade.
- In a training field with extensive use of smoke grenades this will imply that the environment will be subjected to unwanted large stress. This is not in compliance with today's user requirements. The grenade according to said GB publication will generate an environment hostile smoke as the powder into which the liquid smoke has been absorbed, is scattered on the ground onto which the grenade lands, which will render acidic fallout which cannot be neutralized. Consequently, this principle will today not be applicable in a novel smoke grenade for the army.
- The suggested subject matter of the invention is a hand grenade in PCDF (plastics). The liquid smoke which is in its own room in the grenade, will react with the moisture of the air after the bursting and emit hydrochloric acid as a by-product. In order to neutralize this there is in its own, separate compartment around the inner container, located for example Dolomite, Ca Mg(Co3)2 (the same material which is used for example for neutralizing acid in percipitation (fishing waters)). This powder will be scattered on the ground after the bursting and neutralize the liquid smoke which falls out in the area around the bursting point.
- An object of the present invention is aiming for providing a rapidly functioning smoke hand grenade which is substantially less poisonous than present smoke hand grenades based on zink chloride smoke (ZnCl2) (HC-smoke). The smoke material according to the present invention is titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4 abbreviated TTC). Besides, the toxicity of smoke based on hydrolyse of TiCl4 is very low. If one anticipates that mortal concentration of ZnCl2-smoke is CD, one will even with a TiCl4 smoke concentration which is 5 x CD, only find minor harmless changes in the lung tissue (ref Karlsson et al., 1986, Archives of Toxicology).
- Further, the smoke grenade is to be favourable for the environment, i.e. it should in sum not be specifically pollution and acid promotional on the environment. This objective is achieved by including calcium powder in the smoke canister in a stoichiometric relation of the hydrochloric acid which is given off by hydrolyse of TTC during the generation of smoke. The total reaction is:
- The reaction products calcium chloride (CaCl2) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) are compounds which do not have a negative influence on the natural environment.
- A preferred aspect of the invention is that the calsium layer in the container around the inner compartment containing the liquid smoke, will neutralize the liquid smoke which diffuse through the plastics out from the inner container. Without this layer which thereby is quite substantial for the grenade, the liquid smoke/hydrochloric acid would be released and would influence the environment in the storage. More than 10-15 years in a stand-by storage would involve unacceptable corrosion of other storage material.
- Contrary to mixing liquid and powder, as suggested by the prior art, it is according to a preferred aspect of the invention suggested to hold the liquid smoke in a separate inner chamber, a fact which renders substantial advantages compared with the prior art, both as regards storage and use.
- Possibly, the firing mechanism of the grenade could be replaced by a metal insert equipped with a blasting cap and an ejector charge, so that the smoke canister can be fired from an appropriate discharge pipe, for example for screening battle field vehicles.
- Fig. 1 is a view partly in section of a smoke hand grenade, standard version, according to the invention.
- Fig. 2 is a view partly in section of an alternative construction of the smoke grenade according to the invention.
- Fig. 3 is a section through a smoke canister which by removing the bottom plug (B) in standard version or in alternative version of the smoke hand grenade, can extend the screening time for the smoke hand grenade by letting the canister remain on the ground and give off smoke in approximately 20 seconds after the instantaneous part (Fig. 1 or Fig. 2) has burst and given off smoke.
- Fig. 4 is a section through a module which can replace the ignition mechanism for the hand grenade by being screwed thereinto in a simple manner, and thereby transfer the smoke hand grenade to a smoke ammunition which can be fired from an appropriate discharge pipe.
- As appearing from Fig. 1 there is used a hand grenade in a known manner by holding the same in the right hand, whereafter the pulling ring 1 with the
safety bolt 2 is pulled out and the grenade is thrown. A spring loaded striking arm having an ignition pin will strike against a blasting cap which ignite a delay charge which when being burned out (approximately 3 seconds) thereafter will fire the burstingcharge 7 in the centre pipe, whereby the canister is burst and scatters thesmoke material 9 and theacid neutralizing material 8. This will be scattered on the ground under the bursting point and will neutralize the hydrochloric acid from the liquid smoke falling on the ground. - In Fig. 2 there is illustrated part of a section through a variant of the smoke hand grenade, the latter comprising an outer pipe and a centre pipe including a container of shatter-proof glass which is arranged around the centre pipe, and which contains the liquid smoke, and wherein the acid neutralizing material fills up around the glass container. By reaction in the trajectory the glass container and the canister is broken by the pressure from the busting charge when this is fired, for thereby scattering smoke and the acid neutralizing component.
- Fig. 3 illustrates a section through a smoke canister which the smoke hand grenade according to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 can be equipped with, by removing the
plug 12 and screwing theattachment plug 17 into the bottom. Upon throwing, the bursting charge will be fired in the trajectory and the heat from the charge will fire the ignition conveyor in theattachment plug 17, which immediately will send a flame tongue into theignition charge 21, which for example can be a thermite mixture, and which burns through the sleeve around the ignition charge and fires the surface of the smoke charge, preferably as a pyrotechnical charge, whereby the smoke gas escapes through thesmoke channels 20 in the the charge and out through theholes 22 in the bottom of the canister. The canister will lay on the ground and burn whilst continuously releasing smoke in 20-30 seconds. - It will be up to the user to decide whether the canister according to Fig. 3 should be included in the smoke hand grenade in view of the increased price entailed therewith.
- Fig. 4 illustrates an insert or module which can be screwed into the smoke hand grenade instead of the
ignition mechanism 3, whereby the canister can be fired from its own discharge pipe eqipped with a centre blasting bolt and an inner diameter which is adapted to the canister. The field of application can be training smoke for armoured vehicles wherein the original pipes for discharging smoke are equipped with insert pipes which have been adapted to the modified smoke hand grenade. - Upon application the pipes are firstly loaded and thereafter fired from the vehicles by pressing the discharge button for the smoke, whereby through a not specified reacation chain, the blasting bolt in the insert pipe will strike against the
blasting cap 23 which ignites theconveyor 24 which in turn fires theejector charge 26, whereby the hot combustion gases blow out through theholes 25 in the rear element and eject the canister, at the same time as the heat from the combustion also will ignite the delay unit 27 which after approximately 1 second will fire thebursting charge 28 so that the canister is bursting in the air as previously described, for generating an instantaneous, environment favourable smoke screen approximately 20 metres from the vehicle. The smoke material in the previously discussed smoke hand grenades or canisters, is titanium tetrachloride TiCl4. - The acid neutralizing material can be calcium CaCO3, ammonia (30-35%) in water or an alifatic amine or some other acid neutralizing compound.
- Preferably, the titanium tetrachloride can be present as a liquid phase, this liquid by contacting the moisture of the air spontaneously reacting for generation of white smoke. The heat dissipation by this reaction is relatively small. Consequently, there exists no danger for putting the vegitation on fire by using this smoke material, if the smoke canister of Fig. 3 is not attached to the smoke hand grenade.
- In a canister dissipating smoke from the ground there will preferably be used a pyrotechnical smoke charge. This can give off TTC smoke or HC smoke if one reduces the requirement regarding toxicity.
- The elements of the smoke hand grenade can appropriately be injection moulded plastics material (for example PV-DF). The bottom including pipe can be injection moulded in one member and the lid in a second member. The lid can appropriately be added to said first member by ultra sonic welding, see Fig. 1,
reference numeral 8. - The shatter-proof, double-walled glass container illustrated in Fig. 2, can easily be manufactured by letting the glass pipe which is to constitute the wall towards the centre pipe of the container, be arranged in a second glass pipe having a diameter corresponding to the outer diameter of the glass container, whereafter the pipes are welded against each other at the ends thereof, with a successive curing. Thereafter, there is attached a smaller inlet pipe by welding, which after filling of TTC is closed by fusing.
