Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Irritieren von Personen oder Personenansammlungen. Die Vorrichtung weist zumindest eine Irritationseinrichtung auf, die Irritationssignale erzeugt, durch die die Personen irritiert werden.The invention relates to a device for irritating persons or persons. The device has at least one irritation device, which generates irritation signals by which the persons are irritated.

Eine solche Vorrichtung ist etwa aus der DE 2842797 C2 bekannt. Die Vorrichtung ist hierbei ein Wurfkörper in Form einer Handgranate, in dem mehrere pyrotechnische Effektladungen, zum Beispiel Knall-, Blitz- oder Tränengasladungen aufgenommen sind. Diese Effektladungen werden mithilfe einer Zündvorrichtung gezündet, die zum Beispiel einen Kipphebelzünder aufweist. Der Wurfkörper wird in Richtung auf die zu irritierende Person oder die zu irritierenden Personensammlung geworfen, wonach die einzelnen Effektladungen aus dem Behälter ausgestoßen werden, sich im Raum verteilen und einen entsprechenden oben erwähnten Effekt auslösen. Die Auslösung der einzelnen Effekte erfolgt nicht simultan, sondern nacheinander in mehr oder minder kurzen Zeitabständen. Die betroffenen Personen werden dadurch in hohem Maße irritiert und sind häufig nicht mehr handlungsfähig. In diesem Zustand können Ordnungskräfte eingreifen, um die Person entweder festzunehmen oder Personenansammlungen auseinander zu treiben.Such a device is about from the DE 2842797 C2 known. The device here is a projectile in the form of a hand grenade in which a plurality of pyrotechnic effect charges, for example, blast, lightning or tear gas charges are added. These effect charges are ignited by means of an igniter having, for example, a rocker arm igniter. The throwing body is thrown in the direction of the person to be irritated or the person collection to be confused, after which the individual effect charges are expelled from the container, spread in the room and trigger a corresponding effect mentioned above. The triggering of the individual effects is not simultaneous, but successively in more or less short time intervals. The affected persons are thereby greatly irritated and are often no longer able to act. In this state, law enforcement officers can intervene to either arrest the person or disperse crowds.

Ein weiteres Beispiel für einen solchen Irritationskörper ist in der WO94/08200 beschrieben. Hier sind die Effektladungen in radialen Bohrungen eines Behälters nach Art einer Handgranate gelegen, die jeweils mit einem Stopfen oder dergleichen verschlossen sind. Bei der Zündung der Effektladungen werden die Stopfen weggeschleudert. Der Wurfkörper wird zudem bei der Zündung der einzelnen Effektladungen durch deren erzeugte Rückstoßkräfte räumlich versetzt, wodurch eine zusätzliche Irritation auftritt.Another example of such an irritation body is in WO94 / 08200 described. Here are the effect charges in radial holes of a container by type a grenade located, which are each closed with a plug or the like. Upon ignition of the effect charges, the plugs are thrown away. The projectile is also spatially offset by the generated recoil forces during the ignition of the individual effect charges, whereby an additional irritation occurs.

Die bekannten Wurfkörper haben sich in einer Vielzahl von Fällen bewährt, so zum Beispiel bei der Überwältigung von Flugzeugentführern oder bei der Auflösung von Massendemonstrationen.The known projectiles have been proven in a variety of cases, such as in the overpowering of hijackers or in the resolution of mass demonstrations.

Es hat sich jedoch gezeigt, dass die Irritationsbeziehungsweise Schockwirkung nach dem ersten Effekt, zum Beispiel einem lauten Knall, abnimmt, sodass die weiteren Effekte in ihrer Wirkung hinsichtlich einer Irritation abgeschwächt werden.However, it has been found that the irritation or shock effect decreases after the first effect, for example a loud bang, so that the further effects are attenuated in their effect with respect to irritation.

Aus der US6190022 ist es bekannt, optische Irritationssignale in Form von intensiven, die zu irritierenden Personen blendenden Lichtblitzen zu erzeugen. Es kann vorgesehen werden, Licht mit zwei unterschiedlichen Wellenlängen zu verwenden, wobei eines der Lichtsignale auch ein kontinuierliches Signal sein kann.From the US6190022 It is known to produce optical irritation signals in the form of intense, blinding to irritating persons blinding flashes of light. It may be provided to use light with two different wavelengths, wherein one of the light signals may also be a continuous signal.

Aus der FR2886394 ist eine Vorrichtung bekannt, die optische Irritationssignale abgibt, deren Dauer und Frequenz kontrolliert werden kann. Vorgeschlagen werden hierbei optische Wechselsignale mit Frequenzen zwischen 5 und 20 Hertz.From the FR2886394 a device is known which emits optical irritation signals whose duration and frequency can be controlled. Suggested here are optical alternating signals with frequencies between 5 and 20 hertz.

Auch solche Vorrichtungen mit optischen Irritationssignalen sind wirksam.Even such devices with optical irritation signals are effective.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Irritationseinrichtung so zu modifizieren, dass eine Abschwächung der Irritation beziehungsweise des Schocks bei den zu irritierenden Personen nicht oder nur in einem deutlich geringerem Maße auftritt als bisher.The invention has for its object to modify an irritation device so that a weakening of the irritation or shock in the person to be irritated not or only to a much lesser extent occurs than before.

Diese Aufgabe ist gemäß der Erfindung durch die Merkmale des Anspruches 1 gelöst.This object is achieved according to the invention by the features of claim 1.

Demgemäß weist die Vorrichtung, die üblicherweise als Wurfkörper in Form eine Handgranate ausgebildet sein kann, eine erste Irritationseinrichtung auf, die mit einer relativ hohen Frequenz wiederholte erste optische Irritationssignale erzeugt, nämlich Lichtblitze mit hoher Intensität nach Art einer stroboskopischen Lichtquelle mit einer Frequenz von mehr als 3 Sekunden und bis zu 20 Signalen pro Sekunde. Zusätzlich ist noch eine zweite Irritationseinrichtung vorgesehen, die sich von den optischen Irritationssignalen deutlich abhebende starke Schallsignale, insbesondere laute Knallsignale erzeugt.Accordingly, the device, which may be conventionally formed as a hand grenade throwing body, comprises a first irritating means which generates at a relatively high frequency repeated first optical irritation signals, namely high intensity strobes of stroboscopic light source frequency greater than 3 seconds and up to 20 signals per second. In addition, a second irritation device is also provided which generates strong sound signals, in particular loud pop signals, which are clearly different from the optical irritation signals.

Es hat sich gezeigt, dass durch eine Kombination solch unterschiedlicher Irritationssignale, die auf unterschiedliche Sinnesorgane der zu irritierenden Personen einwirken, also auf Augen und Gehör, die Irritations- beziehungsweise Schockwirkung bei den zu irritierenden Personen praktisch nicht abgeschwächt wird.It has been found that a combination of such different irritation signals, which act on different sensory organs of the persons to be irritated, that is to say on the eyes and ears, practically does not weaken the irritation or shock effect in the persons to be irritated.

Vorzugsweise erzeugt die zweite Irritationseinrichtung akustische Signale, die einmalig oder wiederholt mit relativ niedriger Frequenz zwischen zwei Signalen pro Sekunde (2/s) und einem Signal pro vier Sekunden (0,25/s) abgegeben werden. So kann zum Beispiel die zweite Irritationseinrichtung einmalig zu Beginn oder kurz vor Beginn der ersten optischen Irritationssignale ein lautes Knallsignal abgeben, das bereits eine gewisse Schockwirkung auslöst, wonach anschließend die eine gewisse Schockwirkung auslöst, wonach anschließend die optischen stroboskopischen Irritationssignale erzeugt werden, die die Schockwirkung verstärken beziehungsweise diese nicht abschwächen.Preferably, the second irritation device generates acoustic signals that are delivered once or repeatedly at a relatively low frequency between two signals per second (2 / s) and one signal per four seconds (0.25 / s). Thus, for example, the second irritation device once at the beginning or shortly before the start of the first optical irritation signals deliver a loud pop signal, which already triggers a certain shock effect, after which then the causes a certain shock effect, after which the optical stroboscopic irritation signals are generated which enhance the shock effect or do not weaken it.

Die Irritationseinrichtungen gemäß der Erfindung weisen bevorzugt pyrotechnische Effektladungen zum Erzeugen derThe irritation devices according to the invention preferably have pyrotechnic effect charges for generating the

Irritationssignale auf, also zum Beispiel der Lichtblitze und Knallsignale. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, diese Irritationssignale auf andere Art, zum Beispiel mithilfe elektronischer Steuerungsschaltungen zu erzeugen.Irritation signals on, so for example, the flashes of light and pop signals. However, it is also possible to generate these irritation signals in other ways, for example by means of electronic control circuits.

Es hat sich gezeigt, dass der wesentliche Irritationseffekt durch die kontinuierlichen ersten Irritationssignale, insbesondere in Form von stroboskopischen Lichtblitzen, erzeugt wird, wobei zur Unterstützung noch andere Irritationssignale, insbesondere einmalige oder mit niedriger Frequenz aufeinander folgende Knallsignale abgegeben werden.It has been found that the significant irritation effect is produced by the continuous first irritation signals, in particular in the form of stroboscopic flashes of light, with other irritation signals, in particular one-off or low-frequency successive pop signals being emitted for support.

Die Erfindung ist in einem Ausführungsbeispiel anhand der Figur näher erläutert, in der ein Längsschnitt durch eine als Wurfkörper in Form einer Handgranate ausgebildete Vorrichtung gemäß der Erfindung mit mehreren Effektladungen gezeigt ist.The invention is explained in more detail in an embodiment with reference to the figure, in which a longitudinal section is shown by a designed as a throwing body in the form of a hand grenade device according to the invention with a plurality of effect charges.

Ein Wurfkörper 1 weist ein zylindrisches Gehäuse 2 nach Art einer Handgranate auf, wobei an dem oberen Ende des Gehäuses ein Kipphebelzünder 3 angeordnet und das Gehäuse auf der dem Kipphebelzünder 3 gegenüber liegenden Seite durch einen Bodendeckel 4 abgeschlossen ist. In dem Gehäuse ist ein axial ausgerichtetes Abteil 5 vorgesehen, das bei geöffnetem Bodendeckel 4 zugänglich ist. Das Abteil 5 ist in der Regel zylinderförmig. In das Abteil 5 kann ein Paket 6 aus mehreren dicht gepackten Effektladungen unterschiedlicher Art, in diesem Falle Knallladungen 7a und stroboskopische Lichtblitze abgebende Effektladungen 7b, 7c eingesetzt werden.A throwing body 1 has a cylindrical housing 2 in the manner of a hand grenade, wherein arranged at the upper end of the housing a Kipphebelzünder 3 and the housing is closed on the rocker arm 3 opposite side by a bottom cover 4. In the housing, an axially aligned compartment 5 is provided, which is accessible when the bottom cover 4 is open. The compartment 5 is usually cylindrical. In the compartment 5, a package 6 of several closely packed effect charges of different types, in this case pops 7a and stroboscopic flashes emitting effect charges 7b, 7c are used.

Sämtliche Effektladungen 7a, 7b und 7c sind in diesem Falle pyrotechnische Effektladungen.All effect charges 7a, 7b and 7c are in this case pyrotechnic effect charges.

Die einzelnen Effektladungen 7a, 7b und 7c des Paketes 6 sind jeweils mit Zündschnüren 9 versehen, die sich auf der, dem Bodendeckel 4 gegenüber liegenden Seite nach außen erstrecken und dabei einer Verzögerungsladung 10 zugewandt sind, die Teil der Zündeinrichtung 3 mit dem Kipphebelzünder ist.The individual effect charges 7a, 7b and 7c of the package 6 are each provided with fuses 9, based on the, the bottom cover 4 opposite side extend outward and thereby facing a delay charge 10, which is part of the ignition device 3 with the Kipphebelzünder.

In jeder Hülse 8 sind neben der jeweiligen Effektladung noch eine Ausstoßladung 11, die mit einer jeweiligen Zündschnur 9 verbunden ist, und ferner eine Verzögerungsladung 12 aufgenommen.In each sleeve 8 in addition to the respective effect charge nor a discharge charge 11 which is connected to a respective fuse 9, and further a delay charge 12 is added.

Wenn der Wurfkörper in Richtung einer zu irritierenden Person oder einer zu irritierenden Personenansammlung geworfen wird, zündet der Kipphebelzünder die Verzögerungsladung 10 und anschließend diese die Zündschnüre 9 der einzelnen Effektladungen an. Die Hülsen 8 der einzelnen Effektladungen werden dadurch aus dem Gehäuse 2 ausgestoßen, wonach nach Abbrand der einzelnen Verzögerungsladungen 12 die Effektladungen 7a, 7b und 7c gezündet werden. Bei der bevorzugten Ausführung der Erfindung kann zum Beispiel die Effektladung 7a durch die entsprechende Verzögerungsladung 12 als erste Effektladung gezündet werden und einen einmaligen oder mehre nacheinander mit niedriger Frequenz auftretende laute Knallsignale abgeben. Als nächstes wird kurz danach die Effektladung 7b durch ihre Verzögerungsladung 12 gezündet und gibt wiederholte helle, die zu irritierenden Personen blendende Lichtblitze mit einer Frequenz bis zu 20 Blitzen pro Sekunde ab. Die Effektladung 7c, die anschließend gezündet wird, kann weitere Irritationssignale abgeben, zum Beispiel wiederum Knallsignale oder bevorzugt intensive stroboskopische Lichtblitze.If the throwing body is thrown in the direction of a person to be irritated or a person to irritate collection, the Kipphebelzünder ignites the delay charge 10 and then this the fuses 9 of the individual effect charges. The sleeves 8 of the individual effect charges are thereby expelled from the housing 2, after which after combustion of the individual delay charges 12, the effect charges 7a, 7b and 7c are ignited. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, for example, the effect charge 7a can be ignited by the corresponding delay charge 12 as a first effect charge and deliver a single or several consecutive low-frequency loud noises. Next, shortly thereafter, the effect charge 7b is ignited by its delay charge 12 and emits repeated bright flashes of glare to the irritated person with a frequency of up to 20 flashes per second. The effect charge 7c, which is subsequently ignited, can emit further irritation signals, for example, in turn, pop signals or preferably intense stroboscopic flashes of light.

Auch wenn im Vorherigen die Ausbildung der Vorrichtung gemäß der Erfindung als Wurfkörper und die Effektladungen als pyrotechnische Effektladungen beschrieben wurden, sind durchaus andere Ausführungsformen möglich. So kann zum Beispiel die Vorrichtung gemäß der Erfindung als stationäre Einheit ausgebildet werden, von der intensive, zum Beispiel durch Laser erzeugte Lichtblitze und starke Schallsignale ausgehen. Solche Modifikationen liegen im Schutzbereich der die Erfindung bestimmenden Ansprüche.Although in the foregoing the formation of the device according to the invention as a projectile and the effect charges were described as pyrotechnic effect charges, quite different embodiments are possible. So can to For example, the apparatus according to the invention may be formed as a stationary unit emanating from the intensive, for example by laser-generated flashes of light and strong sound signals. Such modifications are within the scope of the claims defining the invention.
