Definitions

  • the invention deals with the possibility of changing the power and, associated therewith, the change in volume of the effect charge of an irritation body, which can be implemented in that the irritation body is designed in a modular manner.
  • one module preferably comprises all the components necessary for releasing and igniting the effect charge and the other module comprises a central chamber for receiving the effect charge, in particular an active charge that generates a bang or sound.
  • This second module can then have different chambers in terms of geometry and / or volume, which makes it possible to adapt and / or optimize the performance of an irritation body depending on the choice of chamber size, i.e. the corresponding module.
  • the efficiency of the irritation body can now be varied, and the efficiency itself can be adjusted directly.
  • Irritation bodies of this type are primarily used for non-lethal defense or defense and are used, among other things, to support police or military operations. They are similar to hand grenades, which are usually detonated manually and then thrown away, but should not themselves form fragments. An example is given in the U.S. 2,094,561 described.
  • the DE 199 44 486 C2 describes an irritation body for manual ignition and ejection with several compartments running essentially parallel to the central axis of the container, which accommodate effect charges, which are in turn ignited with a time delay.
  • an irritant body known as a shock weapon which has several compartments that can accommodate bang or lightning charges.
  • the irritation body itself has an ignition device with a common ignition channel, from which branch bores distributed over its length lead to the respective compartment.
  • an irritation body with a rocker arm which is formed from a body in which the delay set and the active charge (s) are incorporated.
  • the delay set or delay line is located in a separate tube, which is inserted into the irritation body with a detonator head with lever is introduced.
  • the cross-sections of the blow-out openings at the upper end of the base body of the irritation body are kept smaller than the cross-sections of the blow-out opening at the lower end, as a result of which the blow-out openings on both sides are recoil-neutral.
  • the actual charge is in turn housed in chambers, so-called lightning chambers. As a rule, there are 6 chambers that can hold approx.
  • the object of the invention is to create an irritation body which more comfortably meets the desire for an increase in performance.
  • the invention is based on the idea of conceiving an irritation body, the performance of which is adjusted or increased by offering or integrating different chambers and, associated therewith, different volumes for receiving the effect charge (s).
  • the irritation body is preferably designed in a modular manner.
  • it consists of at least two modules that can be connected to one another, which together form the variable irritation body. Both modules can be linked to any other module of the irritant body.
  • One module contains the delay set with delay line as well as the (blow-out) opening (s) and accommodates the detonator head with percussion cap and detonator housing in a known manner.
  • the other module contains a common chamber for receiving the active or effect charge.
  • the lower blow-out opening (s) are then located on the lower floor of the chamber.
  • This second module can be designed in such a way that each has chambers of different sizes.
  • the common or central chamber can be filled with the effect set via at least one, but preferably several, upper blow-out openings.
  • the individual chamber can also be divided into at least two sub-chambers by one or more vertical walls, if this is desired, whereby the ignition of the effect set can then also take place from above and is thus also ensured in the sub-chambers.
  • the interfaces between the chamber and the exhaust openings (top and bottom) are each closed by a closure element.
  • the fixed connection between the two modules can be created by means of crimping, flanging, welding, etc. or by means of easily detachable connections such as screwing, detents, etc.
  • the increase in the usable volume (by up to 100%) is of great advantage, especially when using perchlorate-free sets.
  • Fig. 1 as well as Fig. 2 show an irritation body 100, 100 ′ which has a two-part, modular base body 101, 102. Both modules 101, 102 can be connected to one another, for example, by a latching connection 103. Other releasable and non-releasable fixed connections can also be used.
  • An axially introduced O-ring 104 is provided as a sealing ring between the two modules 101, 102.
  • the upper (first) module 101 is used to accommodate an ignition head 1.
  • This ignition head 1 comprises, in addition to a rocker arm 3, a percussion cap 4 and a fuse housing 5 for receiving an ignition charge 6 with a delay set.
  • the ignition head 1 is screwed into the module housing of the module 101, for example, for which purpose it has an ignition head receptacle 7.
  • At least one, preferably several - for example six - blow-out openings 8, 9 are integrated around this receptacle 7.
  • This opening (s) 8, 9 opens into a central chamber 10 of the exchangeable second module 102, which is used to receive an effect charge or an effect set 11.
  • the chamber 10 is integrated centrally and preferably symmetrically about the central axis M of the irritation body 100 in the second module 102.
  • the ignition charge 6 and the chamber 10 are aligned or coordinated with one another in such a way that they preferably act from above and centrally on the effect charge 11 of the chamber 10 and can ignite it.
  • In the lower area of the chamber 10 there is at least one opening 12 ( Fig. 2 ) is provided, which, like the upper openings 8 (9), is used to blow out the ignited effect set 11.
  • the irritation body 100 ′ can, however, also have several, preferably four to six, openings 18, 19, 20 in the lower region of the chamber 10.
  • the lower (second) module 102 is now characterized according to the invention in that it can have different inner chamber sizes and geometries with the same basic concept, for example a chamber with a smaller volume or a smaller amount. Due to the modular character of the two modules 101, 102, the lower module 102 can be connected to the upper module 101 and / or exchanged without any problems. Depending on which performance is required for the irritation body, the module 102 with the corresponding chamber size is connected to the upper part 101 that meets this requirement most corresponds. In this way, an irritation body 100, 100 'can be created which can now hold an effect charge 11 in the range between 2-15 g, for example 12 g of a flash charge, and which ensures functional reliability in this spectrum. If the known external dimensions of the irritation body 100, 100 'are also changed, the chamber 10 can also be adapted to these new dimensions and thus the performance can be further increased. -
  • the interfaces 13, 14 - between the chamber 10 and the upper openings 8, (9), 12 or the lower opening (s) 12, 18, 19, 20 to the environment - can be closed by closure elements 15, 16.
  • the closure elements 15, 16 can be light cardboard discs.
  • the cross-sections of the upper opening (s) 8, (9) and the lower openings 12, 18, 19 should be coordinated with one another.
  • the one or more lower bores or openings 12, 18, 19 in the lower region of the chamber 10 to be arranged eccentrically and preferably distributed unevenly around the central axis M, thereby creating an asymmetry which also creates a preferred swirling of the ignited effect charge 11.
