Definitions

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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).
  • 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.
  • Irritation signals on, so for example, the flashes of light and pop signals.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • a Kipphebelzünder 3 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.
  • 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.
  • All effect charges 7a, 7b and 7c are in this case pyrotechnic effect charges.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
