Description

Geschosspatronen, Knallpatronen und Treibkartuschen Bullet cartridges, blast cartridges and propellant cartridges
Gegenstand der Erfindung sind Geschosspatronen, Knallpatronen und Treibkartuschen.The invention relates to bullet cartridges, blast cartridges and propellant cartridges.
Aus der DE 195 40 278 Alsind Blei- und Barium-freie Anzündsätze bekannt, mit Initialexplosivstoffen im Gemisch mit Sauerstoff-Iiefemden Substanzen, die weiterhin Sensibilisatoren, Reduktionsmittel, Friktionsmittel, Sekundärsprengstoffe und/oder Inertstoffe enthalten. Die Inertstoffe sind beispielsweise ausgewählt aus Bindemitteln, Klebstoffen, Farbstoffen, Passivatoren und/oder Mitteln zur Geruchscharakterisierung, insbesondere in einem Anteil von 0 bis 20 Gew.-%, bezogen auf die Gesamtmischung, Bevorzugt wird als Mitte! zur Geruchscharakterisierung Vanillin eingesetzt.From DE 195 40 278 lead and barium-free primers are known, with initial explosives in a mixture with oxygen-deficient substances which also contain sensitizers, reducing agents, friction agents, secondary explosives and / or inert substances. The inert substances are selected, for example, from binders, adhesives, dyes, passivators and / or agents for characterizing odors, in particular in a proportion of 0 to 20% by weight, based on the mixture as a whole, preference is given to the middle! Vanillin used to characterize odors.
Im Beispiel 1 der DE 195 40 278 A1 wird ein Mittel zur Geruchscharakterisierung in die Lackbeschichtung des Anzündsatzes eingesetzt,In example 1 of DE 195 40 278 A1, an agent for characterizing the smell is used in the lacquer coating of the primer,
Alle Mittel, die bisher eingesetzt wurden, sind bewusst wahrnehmbar. Geschosspatronen, Knallpatronen oder Treibkartuschen, die Mittel enthalten, die im wesentlichen unbewusst wahrgenommen werden, sind nicht bekannt,All means that have been used so far are consciously perceptible. Bullet cartridges, blast cartridges or propellant cartridges containing agents that are perceived essentially unconsciously are not known.
Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht daher darin, Geschosspatronen, Knallpatronen und Treibkartuschen bereitzustellen, die Mittel enthalten, die im wesentlichen unbewusst wahrgenommen werden.The object of the present invention is therefore to provide bullet cartridges, blast cartridges and propellant cartridges which contain agents which are perceived essentially unconsciously.
Erfindungsgemäß als Mittel eingesetzt werden können prinzipiell alle Wirkstoffe, die als Pheromone bekannt sind. Pheromone, auch Ektohormone oder Sozialhormone genannt, sind von Tieren und vom Menschen produzierte Substanzen, die, nach aussen abgegeben, Stoffwechsel und Verhalten anderer Individuen der gleichen Art beeinflussen. Pheromone werden durch Geruchs- oder Geschmacksorganen aufgenommen und sind wie Hormone in geringsten Konzentrationen wirksam. Auch Mischungen der einzelnen Wirkstoffe können erfindungsgemäß eingesetzt werden.In principle, all active substances known as pheromones can be used as agents. Pheromones, also called ectohormones or social hormones, are substances produced by animals and humans that, when released externally, influence the metabolism and behavior of other individuals of the same type. Pheromones are caused by organs of smell or taste and are effective like hormones in the lowest concentrations. Mixtures of the individual active ingredients can also be used according to the invention.
In einer ersten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung wird die vorgenannte Aufgabe gelöst durch Geschosspatronen, Knallpatronen und Treibkartuschen, die dadurch gekennzeichnet sind, dass sie mindestens ein erfindungsgemäß definiertes Mittel enthalten. Dabei kann die Treibladung, das Anzündmittel oder die Lackbeschichtung des Anzündmittels ein solches Mittel enthalten. Eine weitere Möglichkeit besteht darin, das erfindungsgemäß einsetzbare Mitte! als Beiladung, vorzugsweise in der Form von Mikrokapseln, den Geschosspatronen, Knallpatronen oder Treibkartuschen zuzugeben.In a first embodiment of the present invention, the aforementioned object is achieved by projectile cartridges, firing cartridges and propellant cartridges, which are characterized in that they contain at least one agent defined according to the invention. The propellant charge, the igniter or the paint coating of the igniter can contain such an agent. Another possibility is to use the middle that can be used according to the invention! as an additional charge, preferably in the form of microcapsules, the bullet cartridges, blast cartridges or propellant cartridges.
Die erfindungsgemäß einsetzbaren Mittel lassen sich in Mengen von 0,001 bis 10 Gew.-%, insbesondere in Mengen von 0,1 bis 1 Gew.-% zugeben.The agents which can be used according to the invention can be added in amounts of 0.001 to 10% by weight, in particular in amounts of 0.1 to 1% by weight.
Die erfindungsgemäß einsetzbaren Mittel können bei der Pulverherstellung oder Lackherstellung eingearbeitet werden. Insoweit sind dieselben Techniken anwendbar, die im Stand der Technik bekannt sind, um Weichmacher, Stabilisatoren oder andere Inertstoffe in die Treibladungspulver einzubinden oder Lackbeschichtungen aufzubringen. Verreibungen mit einem festen Träger, die die erfindungsgemäß einsetzbaren Mittel enthalten, lassen sich beispielsweise dem Treibladungspulver oder der Lackbeschichtung des Anzündmittels zugeben. Lösungen der erfindungsgemäß einsetzbaren Mittel können beispielsweise in Kieselgur adsorbiert werden, bevor sie erfindungsgemäß eingebracht werden.The agents which can be used according to the invention can be incorporated in the manufacture of powder or paint. In this respect, the same techniques can be used that are known in the prior art to incorporate plasticizers, stabilizers or other inert substances into the propellant charge powder or to apply lacquer coatings. Rubbings with a solid carrier, which contain the agents that can be used according to the invention, can be added, for example, to the propellant charge powder or the lacquer coating of the igniter. Solutions of the agents which can be used according to the invention can be adsorbed, for example, in diatomaceous earth before they are introduced according to the invention.
Weiterhin ist es möglich, die bei Reizstoffpatronen bekannten Reizstoffe durch die erfindungsgemäß einsetzbaren Mittel zu ersetzen.Furthermore, it is possible to replace the irritants known in the case of irritant cartridges with the agents which can be used according to the invention.
Die erfindungsgemäß einsetzbaren Mittel können auch auf die Abdeckung der Pulverladung oder des Satzes aufgetragen werden. in mikroverkapseiter Form lassen sich alle Arten der erfindungsgemäß einsetzbaren Mittel unabhängig von der Verträglichkeit dem Treibladungspulver, der Lackbeschichtung oder dem Anzündsatz zufügen, wobei diese entweder separat aufgebracht oder eingearbeitet werden. Hierbei sollte darauf geachtet werden, dass die Mikrokapseln bei der Schussentwicklung möglichst spät aufplatzen oder abbrennen, damit die Mittel den Schussgasen nur kurz ausgesetzt sind.The agents which can be used according to the invention can also be applied to the covering of the powder charge or the batch. In microencapsulated form, all types of agents that can be used according to the invention can be added to the propellant charge powder, the paint coating or the primer, regardless of the compatibility, these being either applied separately or incorporated. Care should be taken to ensure that the microcapsules burst or burn as late as possible during the development of the shot so that the agents are only exposed to the shot gases for a short time.
Selbstverständlich sollte in allen Fällen gewährleistet sein, dass sich bei Einwirkung der Schussgase auf die Mittel keine gesundheitsschädlichen Reaktionsprodukte bilden.Of course, it should be ensured in all cases that no reaction products harmful to health are formed when the shot gases act on the agents.
Die weiteren Bestandteile der Geschosspatronen, Knallpatronen und Treibkartuschen, neben den erfindungsgemäß einsetzbaren Mitteln unterscheiden sich nicht von den Bestandteilen üblicher Geschosspatronen, Patronen oder Kartuschen des Standes der Technik. The other components of the bullet cartridges, blast cartridges and propellant cartridges, in addition to the agents which can be used according to the invention, do not differ from the components of conventional bullet cartridges, cartridges or cartridges of the prior art.
