Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Irritationskörper nach Art einer Handgranate zum Erzeugen von Irritationen bei Straftätern, z. B. bei Polizei- oder Militäreinsätzen.The invention relates to an irritation body Type of hand grenade to create irritation Offenders, z. B. in police or military operations.

Irritationskörper werden u. a. bei Geiselnahmen und Flugzeugentführungen eingesetzt, um Straftäter zu überwältigen. Der Irritationskörper ähnelt meist der Form einer Handgranate und weist einen zylinderförmigen Behälter mit mehreren Abteilen für Wirk- bzw. Effektladungen, z. B. Knall- oder Blitzladungen, auf. Die Effektladungen werden mit Hilfe einer manuell betätigbaren Zündeinrichtung, z. B. einem Kipphebelzünder, gezündet, die einen Verzögerungsmechanismus aufweist. Der Verzögerungsmechanismus sorgt dafür, dass die einzelnen Effektladungen in einer Zeitfolge über mehrere Sekunden gezündet werden. Durch den beim Zünden der einzelnen Effektladung entstehenden Knall und die zusätzlich auftretende Blendwirkung soll bei der jeweiligen Person ein Irritationseffekt erzielt werden.Irritating body u. a. hostage-taking and hijacking used to overwhelm offenders. Of the Irritation body is usually similar to the shape of a hand grenade and has a cylindrical container with several compartments for effect or effect charges, z. B. bang or flash charges, on. The effect charges are using a manually actuated ignition device, eg. B. a rocker arm igniter, ignited, which has a delay mechanism. The delay mechanism ensures that the individual Effect charges in a time sequence over several seconds to be detonated. By igniting the single effect charge resulting bang and the additional occurring Blinding effect is intended to irritate the individual be achieved.

Aus der Druckschrift WO 94/08200 der Anmelderin ist ein solcher Irritationskörper bekannt. Bei diesem Irritationskörper sind in einem zylindrischen Behälter neun radial nach aussen gerichtete, um die Mittelachse des Behälters versetzt angeordnete Abteile mit Effektladungen untergebracht. Die Zündeinrichtung für die Effektladungen weist einen gemeinsamen Zündkanal mit einer Verzögerungsladung, der entlang der Mittelachse des Behälters verläuft, auf. Die einzelnen Abteile sind durch Querbohrungen in unterschiedlicher Höhe mit dem Zündkanal verbunden. Zur manuellen Zündung ist auf den Behälter ein Kipphebelzünder mit einem gesicherten Kipphebel aufgesetzt.From the document WO 94/08200 the applicant is a such irritation known. In this Irritation bodies are nine in a cylindrical container directed radially outward to the central axis of the Container staggered compartments with effect charges accommodated. The ignition device for the effect charges has a common firing channel with a delay charge, which runs along the central axis of the container, on. The individual compartments are through cross holes in different height connected to the ignition channel. To manual Ignition is on the tank a rocker with put a secured rocker arm.

Zum Zünden wird der Irritationskörper in einer Hand gehalten, wobei gleichzeitig der Kipphebel umfasst und in seiner gesicherten, Position gehalten wird, in der er an dem Behälter anliegt. Mit der anderen Hand wird der Kipphebel z. B. durch Ziehen eines Sicherungsstiftes entsichert. Beim Fortwerfen des Irritationskörpers schnellt der Kipphebel durch eine Feder nach oben und löst die Zündung über einen Schlagbolzen aus. Nach dem Zünden werden nacheinander alle Effektladungen in dem Behälter in zeitlicher Abfolge gezündet. Der beim Zünden einer Effektladung entstehende Rückstoss versetzt den Irritationskörper. Insbesondere bei Blitzladungen wird dadurch die Irritationswirkung erhöht.For ignition, the irritation body is held in one hand, at the same time includes the rocker arm and in his secured, position is held, in which he is at the Container is present. With the other hand, the rocker arm z. B. unlocked by pulling a locking pin. At the The body of the irritation body jumps off the rocker arm by a spring upwards and releases the ignition over one Firing pin out. After ignition, all will be successively Effect charges in the container in chronological order ignited. The result of igniting an effect charge Recoil puts the body of irritation. Especially at Lightning charges is thereby increased the irritation effect.

Wenn allerdings beim Entsichern des Kipphebelzünders der Kipphebel nicht mit der Hand umfasst ist, dann schnellt bei dieser unsachgemässen Handhabung der Kipphebel bereits nach dem Entsichern nach oben, wodurch und die Zündung der Effektladungen unter Umständen ausgelöst wird, obwohl der Irritationskörper noch in der Hand gehalten wird. Der Anwender kann sich dabei durch die radial nach aussen gerichtete Explosion der Effektladungen Verletzungen und Verbrennungen an der Hand zuziehen.If, however, when unlocking the rocker arm igniter of the Rocker arm is not covered by hand, then rockets this improper handling of the rocker already after unlocking the top, causing and the ignition of the Effects charges may be triggered, although the Irritation body is still held in the hand. Of the Users can look through the radially outward directed charges explosion and injuries Burn burns on the hand.

Es ist aus der gleichen Schrift ein Irritationskörper bekannt, bei dem insgesamt sechs Abteile in Längsrichtung um die Mittelachse des Irritationskörpers herum angeordnet sind, die den Irritationskörper in seiner gesamten Länge durchsetzen und an der oberen und der unteren Seite durch Stopfen verschlossen sind. Beim Zünden der Effektladungen treten die Treibgase nach oben und nach unten aus dem Behälter aus.It is from the same writing an irritating body known, in which a total of six compartments in the longitudinal direction the central axis of the irritation body are arranged around, the irritating body in its entire length enforce and at the top and bottom side through Stoppers are closed. When igniting the effect charges the propellant gases go up and down from the Container off.

Wird der Irritationskörper wie oben beschrieben unsachgemäss gehandhabt und beim Zünden der Effektladungen noch in der Hand gehalten, treten die Treibgase zwar nicht mehr direkt in Richtung der Handflächen aus, wie bei dem vorher beschriebenen Irritationskörper, aber durch die nach oben austretenden Treibgase kann der Anwender im Gesicht verletzt werden. Die nach unten austretenden Treibgase sind allgemein nicht so gefährlich, da sie üblicherweise auf den Fussboden gerichtet sind.If the irritation body is improper as described above managed and while firing the effects charges still in the Hand held, the propellants do not enter directly into Direction of the palms, as in the previous described irritation body, but by the upward Exiting propellant gases can hurt the user in the face become. The downward escaping propellants are general not so dangerous as they are usually on the floor are directed.

Man könnte daher die Verletzungsgefahr bei unsachgemässer Handhabung zumindest teilweise ausschalten, wenn man die Abteile an der oberen Seite des Behälters verschliesst, sodass Verletzungen im Gesicht praktisch nicht mehr auftreten.One could therefore the risk of injury in case of improper At least partially turn off handling, if you have the Closes compartments on the upper side of the container, so that facial injuries are virtually gone occur.

Diese Konstruktion hat jedoch einen gravierenden Nachteil: Fällt der sachgemäss fort geworfenen Irritationskörper derart zu Boden, dass beim Zünden der Effektladungen die Treibgase auf ein nahes Hindernis, etwa den Boden oder eine Wand treffen oder der Irritationskörper auf der unteren Seite des Behälters zum Stehen kommt, dann wird der Irritationskörper durch den Rückstoss einer oder mehrerer gezündeten Effektladungen geschossartig fortgeschleudert. Durch diese unkontrollierte Bewegung des Irritationskörpers entsteht eine hohe Verletzungsgefahr für die sich in der Nähe befindenden Personen.However, this construction has a serious disadvantage: If the properly thrown irritation body falls in such a way to the bottom, that when igniting the effect charges the propellant gases on a nearby obstacle, such as the ground or a wall meet or the irritation body on the lower side of the Container comes to a halt, then the irritation body by the recoil of one or more ignited Effect charges thrown off like a bullet. Through this Uncontrolled movement of the irritation body creates a high risk of injury to those in the vicinity People.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Irritationskörper der in Rede stehenden Art so zu modifizieren, dass die Gefahr von Verletzungen auch bei durch unsachgemässer Handhabung verringert wird.The invention is based on the object, a Irritating body of the type in question so too modify that the risk of injury even when through improper handling is reduced.

Diese Aufgabe ist gemäss der Erfindung durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is according to the invention by the features of Claim 1 solved.

Demgemäss sind bei diesem Irritationskörper die Abteile für die Effektladungen an der oberen Seite des Behälters, an der die Zündeinrichtung angeordnet ist, verschlossen, münden jedoch auf der gegenüberliegenden unteren Seite des Behälters in eine gemeinsame nach unten offene Kammer, die seitlich mehrere in Umfangsrichtung angeordnete Öffnungen nach aussen aufweist. Die nach unten offene Kammer auf der unteren Seite des Behälters bildet damit einen Fortsatz des zylindrischen Behälters und damit dessen unteres Ende.Accordingly, in this irritation body, the compartments for the effect charges on the upper side of the container, at the the ignition device is arranged, closed, open however, on the opposite lower side of the container in a common downwardly open chamber, the side a plurality of circumferentially arranged openings to the outside having. The downwardly open chamber on the lower side the container thus forms an extension of the cylindrical Container and thus the lower end.

Durch das Verschliessen der Abteile auf der oberen Seite des Behälters können bei unsachgemässer Handhabung keine Treibgase in Richtung des Gesichtes des Anwenders austreten. Vielmehr entweichen die Treibgase durch die Kammer und breiten sich in Richtung auf den Fussboden aus, so dass die Verletzungsgefahr deutlich verringert ist.By closing the compartments on the upper side of the Containers can not be used if handled improperly Propellant gases escaping in the direction of the user's face. Rather, the propellant gases escape through the chamber and spread out in the direction of the floor, so that the Risk of injury is significantly reduced.

Wenn der Behälter zufällig auf der nach unten offenen Seite der Kammer zu stehen oder mit dieser Seite nahe einem Hindernis zu liegen kommt, können die Treibgase aus den seitlichen Öffnungen der Kammer austreten, sodass der bei der Zündung entstehende Rückstoss deutlich abgeschwächt wird. Damit wird der Irritationskörper nicht mehr geschossartig fortgeschleudert, sondern führt maximal lediglich eine kleine ungefährliche Bewegung aus. If the container happens to be on the open side to stand with the chamber or with this side near an obstacle can come to rest, the propellants from the lateral Leave openings of the chamber, so that when the ignition resulting recoil is significantly attenuated. This will be the body of irritation no longer thrown off like a bullet, but only leads a maximum of a small harmless movement.

Gemäss einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist die Länge der Kammer ein Fünftel bis ein Drittel der Gesamtlänge des Behälters.According to a preferred embodiment, the length of the Chamber one-fifth to one-third of the total length of the tank.

Vorzugsweise ist der Behälter mit den Abteilen für die Effektladungen einstückig.Preferably, the container with the compartments for the Effect charges in one piece.

Die Erfindung ist in einem Ausführungsbeispiel anhand einer einzigen Figur näher erläutert, die einen Längsschnitt durch einen Irritationskörper gemäss der Erfindung zeigt.The invention is in one embodiment with reference to a single figure explained in more detail, which is a longitudinal section through shows an irritation body according to the invention.

Weiterhin weist der Behälter 4 auf seiner oberen Seite einen mittigen Fortsatz 9 auf, auf den ein manuell betätigbarer Kipphebelzünder 10 mit einem gesicherten Kipphebel 12 aufgesetzt, vorzugsweise aufgeschraubt ist. . Längs der Mittelachse des Behälters verläuft eine als Zündkanal 14 dienende Bohrung, die auch den Fortsatz 9 durchsetzt. Die einzelnen Abteile 6 sind durch senkrecht zu dem Zündkanal 14 und den Abteilen 6 verlaufende Stichbohrungen 16, die versetzt aufeinanderfolgend angeordnet sind, mit dem Zündkanal 14 verbunden.In the figure, 2 denotes an irritation body, the a container 4 with six longitudinally arranged to the perimeter distributed compartments 6 for each one Effect charge 8 has. Furthermore, the container 4 on its upper side a central extension 9 on which a manually operable Kipphebelzünder 10 with a secured rocker arm 12 is placed, preferably is screwed on. , Along the central axis of the container runs as a firing channel 14 serving bore, which also the Extension 9 interspersed. The individual compartments 6 are through perpendicular to the ignition channel 14 and the compartments 6 extending Engravings 16 arranged offset in succession are connected to the ignition channel 14.

An der dem Kipphebelzünder 10 gegenüberliegenden unteren Seite des Behälters ist in dem Behälter eine Kammer 18 vorgesehen, in die alle Abteile 6 münden. Der Boden 20 der Kammer ist offen und seitlich sind in regelmässigen Abständen in Umfangsrichtung Öffnungen 22 in der Wand des Behälters vorgesehen. At the bottom of the rocker arm 10 opposite Side of the container is in the container a chamber 18th provided, in which all compartments 6 open. The bottom 20 of the Chamber is open and the sides are at regular intervals in the circumferential direction openings 22 in the wall of the container intended.

Die Abteile 6 werden auf der Seite des Kipphebelzünders 10 nicht vollständig durch den Behälter 4 geführt, so dass die Abteile 6 auf dieser Seite verschlossen bleiben. Die Öffnungen der Abteile 6, die in die Kammer 18 münden, werden, nachdem die Abteile 6 mit Effektladungen gefüllt wurden, jeweils mit einem Stopfen 24 verschlossen. Der Zündkanal 14 endet innerhalb des Behälters kurz vor dem Hohlraum für die Kammer.The compartments 6 are on the side of the Kipphebelzünders 10th not completely guided by the container 4, so that the Compartments 6 remain closed on this side. The Openings of the compartments 6, which open into the chamber 18, after the compartments 6 have been filled with effect charges, each closed with a stopper 24. The ignition channel 14th ends inside the container just before the cavity for the Chamber.

Der gesamte Behälter 4 mit den Abteilen 6, dem Zündkanal 14, dem Fortsatz 9 und der Kammer 18 ist aus einem Stück gefertigt.The entire container 4 with the compartments 6, the ignition channel 14, the extension 9 and the chamber 18 is in one piece manufactured.

Beim Zünden der Effektladungen durch den Kipphebelzünder 10 werden diese zeitlich versetzt abgefeuert, wobei die Stopfen 24 durch die Explosion der Effektladungen durch den Boden 20 der Kammer 18 heraus geschleudert werden und der Effekt, z. B. ein Blitz oder Knall ausgelöst wird.When igniting the effect charges by the Kipphebelzünder 10th These are fired at a time offset with the plugs 24 due to the explosion of the effect charges through the ground 20 the chamber 18 are thrown out and the effect, for. B. a lightning or blast is triggered.
