Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein als Sprühgerät ausgebildetes Distanzkampfmittel zur nichttödlichen Beaufschlagung des menschlichen oder tierischen Körpers mit Reizstoff, welches ein Gehäuse aufweist, das zumindest einen Reizstoff, ein Treibmittel, und ferner zumindest einen medizinischen Klebstoff, nämlich ein Cyanoacylat-Präparat, Polyvinylpyrrolidon oder Cellulosenitrat enthält.The invention relates to a trained as a sprayer Distanzkampfmittel for non-lethal exposure of the human or animal body with irritant, which has a housing containing at least one irritant, a propellant, and further at least one medical adhesive, namely a cyanoacylate preparation, polyvinylpyrrolidone or cellulose nitrate.

Derartige Reizgas-Distanzkampfmittel sind herkömmlich entweder als Reizgas-Sprühdosen oder dergleichen ähnliche Sprühgeräte einerseits, oder als mit Schreckschuss-bzw. Gaspistole verschießbare Reizgaspatronen andererseits ausgebildet. Reizgaspatronen weisen kein Projektil auf, sondern einen mit einer Sollbruchstelle versehenen Stopfen, der in die Patronenhülse eingepresst ist, welche wiederum eine Reizstoffladung enthält.Such irritant gas-distance combatants are conventionally either as irritant gas spray cans or the like similar sprayers on the one hand, or as a shock-shooting or. On the other hand, a gas pistol designed to fire irritable gas cartridges. Irritant gas cartridges have no projectile, but a provided with a predetermined breaking point plug which is pressed into the cartridge case, which in turn contains a Reizstoffladung.

Dabei wurde schon versucht, Reizgas-Distanzkampfmittel mit einem Zusatznutzen zu schaffen. So zeigt die deutsche Gebrauchsmusterschrift DE 8909166 U1 eine Tränengaspatrone mit einer Hülse, welche eine Reizstofffüllung und eine Treibladung enthält und einen Zünder besitzt. Die Reizstofffüllung besteht dabei aus einem wässrigen Gel, in dem ein Reizmittel gelöst ist, wobei räumlich getrennt davon zusätzlich eine Farbstofffüllung vorgesehen ist, um das beschossene Ziel nicht nur mit Reizstoff zu beaufschlagen, sondern auch mit Farbstoff zu markieren.It has already been tried to create irritant gas ranged remedy with an added benefit. This is shown by the German utility model DE 8909166 U1 a tear gas cartridge with a sleeve containing an irritant filling and a propellant charge and having an igniter. In this case, the irritant filling consists of an aqueous gel in which an irritant is dissolved, a dye filling being additionally provided in a spatially separate manner in order not only to impinge on the bombarded target with irritant, but also to label it with dye.

Weitere Entwicklungen gehen dahin, die Haftung des Reizgases bzw. Reizmittels auf dem damit beaufschlagten Körper zu verbessern. So wird in der internationalen Patentanmeldung WO 2006 055 640 A2 ein Pfeffergel in Zusammensetzung als Bestandteil eines Selbstverteidigungssprays vorgeschlagen, das 0,1 bis 1,5 % Capsaicinoid-Verbindungen und vorzugsweise zumindest 1,4 % Capsaicinoid enthält. Angeblich haftet diese Zusammensetzung besonders gut an Oberflächen, verbessert die Reichweite des Sprays und vermindert das Risiko, zu viel zu versprühen.Further developments are aimed at improving the adhesion of the irritant gas or stimulant to the body thus acted upon. Thus, in the international patent application WO 2006 055 640 A2 a peppergel in composition as part of a self-defense spray proposed containing 0.1 to 1.5% capsaicinoid compounds and preferably at least 1.4% capsaicinoid. Allegedly, this composition adheres particularly well to surfaces, improves the range of the spray and reduces the risk of spraying too much.

Weiterhin bekannt sind Reizstoffpatronen mit mehreren aufeinanderfolgenden Lagen von Treibladungen und Reizstoffen, siehe FR 2 523 718 A1 .Also known are irritant cartridges with several successive layers of propellants and irritants, see FR 2 523 718 A1 ,

Weiterhin bekannt sind nicht tödliche Projektile, die ihre Ladung im Gegensatz zu Reizgaspatronen erst beim Aufschlag auf dem Ziel freisetzen. Ein solches Projektil ist in der US 8 186 275 B1 beschrieben, wobei die Ladung aus einem klebrigen Schaum bestehen kann, der mit Reizstoffen oder Farbmarkierungen vermischt ist.Also known are non-lethal projectiles that release their charge, unlike irritating gas cartridges until the impact on the target. Such a projectile is in the US 8,186,275 B1 described, wherein the charge may consist of a sticky foam, which is mixed with irritants or color markers.

Die japanische Patentanmeldung JP 2009 002620 A offenbart eine Patronenhülse mit einem zweiteiligen Stopfen, in dessen oberer Kammer ein Haftmittel enthalten ist, das zur Markierung eines Gegners dienen soll bzw. an ihm haften soll und in dessen unterer Kammer ein Reizstoff wie Capsaicin etc. enthalten sein soll.The Japanese patent application JP 2009 002620 A discloses a cartridge case with a two-piece stopper, in the upper chamber of an adhesive is to be used to mark an opponent or to adhere to him and in the lower chamber an irritant such as capsaicin, etc. should be included.

Schließlich offenbart die US-Patentschrift US 9 022 255 B1 ein Distanzkampfmittel mit einem an einer Feuerwaffe angebrachten Gehäuse, in dem drei Flaschen untergebracht sind, von denen die eine einen Klebstoff, die zweite ein Aktivierungsmittel für den Klebstoff und die dritte einen weiteren Inhaltsstoff enthält. Der weiteren Inhaltsstoff ist ein Tranquilizer, Schlafmittel, ein Gift oder ein infektiöses Mittel oder dergleichen. Zum Austreiben der Inhaltsstoffe aus den Flaschen dient ein darin ebenfalls enthaltenes Druckfluid wie Stickstoff oder eine Pumpe. Das richtige Mischungsverhältnis der drei Komponenten wird über eine Steuerungseinheit sichergestellt, welche die Öffnung der Druckventile der Flaschen im richtigen Verhältnis errechnet und die Ventile entsprechend ansteuert.Finally, the US patent publication US Pat. No. 9,022,255 B1 a spacer means having a firearm mounted housing housing three bottles, one containing an adhesive, the second an adhesive activator, and the third another ingredient. The other ingredient is a tranquilizer, sleeping pills, a poison or an infectious agent or the like. For expelling the ingredients from the bottles used therein also a pressurized fluid such as nitrogen or a pump. The correct mixing ratio of the three components is ensured by a control unit, which calculates the opening of the pressure valves of the bottles in the correct ratio and controls the valves accordingly.

Hiervon ausgehend ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein Distanzkampfmittel der gattungsgemäßen Art mit einfachen Mitteln so weiterzubilden, dass die Wirkung mit der die auf den beaufschlagten Körper aufgebrachten Reizstoffe auf den Körper einwirken, verbessert wird.On this basis, it is an object of the present invention, a distance combat means of the generic type with simple means so educate, that the effect of the impact on the body applied irritants to the body, is improved.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved with the features of claim 1.

Das erfindungsgemäße Distanzkampfmittel zeichnet dadurch aus, dass der Reizstoff 2-Chlorbenzyliden-malonsäuredinitril (CS), ω-Chloracetophenon (CN), oder Capsaicin (CPS) ist, und das Treibmittel verflüssigtes Treibgas wie beispielsweise Propan oder Butan ist, wobei das Distanzkampfmittel als Sprühgerät ausgebildet ist und das Gehäuse als Druckbehälter mit Sprühdüse, und wobei das Gehäuse ferner ein Lösungsmittel wie beispielsweise Aceton, Butanon, Nitromethan und Dichlormethan enthält, in dem der Reizstoff und der medizinische Klebstoff gelöst sind.The distancing agent according to the invention is characterized in that the irritant is 2-chlorobenzylidene-malononitrile (CS), ω-chloroacetophenone (CN), or capsaicin (CPS), and the propellant is liquefied propellant gas such as propane or butane, the distancing agent being used as a sprayer is formed and the housing as a pressure vessel with spray nozzle, and wherein the housing further contains a solvent such as acetone, butanone, nitromethane and dichloromethane, in which the irritant and the medical adhesive are dissolved.

In dem Gehäuse des Distanzkampfmittels ist dabei neben dem bereits herkömmlich darin enthaltenen Reizstoff zumindest ein medizinischer Klebstoff enthalten. Medizinische Klebstoffe liegen unter Normalbedingungen, also Raumtemperatur und Athmosphärendruck, in flüssiger Form vor und sind eigentlich zum Wundverschluss gedacht. Es handelt sich dabei um Cyanoacrylat-Präparate, die in ganz ähnlicher Form auch als Sekundenkleber eingesetzt werden, wobei jedoch Präparate mit hoher Toxizität nicht als medizinische Klebstoffe eingesetzt werden. Ferner fallen unter den Begriff medizinische Klebstoffe im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung auch noch Verbindungen, die in sog. Sprühpflastern zur Abdeckung einer Wunde eingesetzt werden, also auch eine gewisse Haftung am körpereigenen Gewebe aufweisen, wenngleich nicht eine solch starke, wie die zuvor genannten Cyanoacrylat-Präparate. Diese Flüssig-Pflaster-Wirkstoffe sind beispielsweise aus Polyvinylpyrrolidon oder Cellulosenitrat. Die vorzugsweise als medizinischer Klebstoff zugesetzten Cyanoacrylat-Präparate sind bevorzugt Butyl-Octyl- oder Isobutyl-Cyanoacrylat-Ester. Es handelt sich dabei um Monomere, die in Kontakt mit verschiedenen Körperflüssigkeiten, z. B. Schweiß, Tränen oder Blut oder Luftfeuchtigkeit polymerisieren und dadurch stark haftende Eigenschaften entwickeln.At least one medical adhesive is contained in the housing of the spacer-fighting agent in addition to the irritant already conventionally contained therein. Medical adhesives are in liquid form under normal conditions, ie room temperature and atmospheric pressure, and are actually intended for wound closure. These are cyanoacrylate preparations, which are used in quite similar form as superglue, but preparations with high toxicity are not used as medical adhesives. Furthermore, the term medical adhesives for the purposes of the present invention also covers compounds which are used in so-called spray plasters to cover a wound, ie also have a certain adhesion to the body's own tissue, although not as strong as the aforementioned cyanoacrylate. Preparations. These liquid-patch drugs are, for example, polyvinylpyrrolidone or cellulose nitrate. The preferably added as a medical adhesive cyanoacrylate preparations are preferably butyl octyl or isobutyl cyanoacrylate esters. These are monomers that are in contact with various body fluids, eg. As sweat, tears or blood or humidity polymerize and thereby develop strong adhesive properties.

Durch die Zugabe solcher medizinischer Klebstoffe zusätzlich zum Reizstoff des Distanzkampfmittels kann der Einwirkungszeitraum des Reizstoffes verlängert werden. Denn die bekannten Reizstoffe sind bei der Beaufschlagung des Körpers per Spray oder Reizgaspatrone äußerst flüchtig, so dass die Wirkung nach Aufbringung des Reizstoffes durch Besprühen oder Beschuss schnell nachlässt. Werden nun medizinische Klebstoffe der angegebenen Art beigemischt, so haften die eingebundenen Reizstoffe länger am abzuwehrenden Angreifer oder Tier, wodurch ihre Wirkung maximiert wird. Will man eine besonders starke Haftwirkung erzielen, so setzt man Cyanoacrylat-Präparate der angegebenen Art zu, will man lediglich eine abgeschwächte Form der Haftwirkung erzielen, so nimmt man die im Sprühpflaster enthaltenen Wirkstoffe, nämlich Polyvinylpyrrolidon oder Cellulosenitrat.By adding such medical adhesives in addition to the irritant of the spacer, the exposure period of the irritant can be prolonged. Because the known irritants are extremely volatile in the exposure of the body by spray or irritant gas cartridge, so that the effect quickly decreases after application of the irritant by spraying or shelling. Now, if medical adhesives of the specified kind are added, the incorporated irritants adhere longer to the attacker or animal to be defended, whereby their effect is maximized. If you want to achieve a particularly strong adhesion, so you cyanoacrylate preparations of the specified type, you want to achieve only a weakened form of adhesion, so you take the active ingredients contained in the spray plaster, namely polyvinylpyrrolidone or cellulose nitrate.

Erfindungsgemäß ist das Distanzkampfmittel als Sprühgerät ausgebildet. Das Gehäuse des Distanzkampfmittels ist also nach Art einer Sprühdose ein Druckbehälter mit Sprühdüse, welche als Treibmittel ein verflüssigtes Treibgas wie beispielsweise Propan oder Butan enthält. Weiterhin enthält die Sprühdose ein Lösungsmittel wie beispielsweise Aceton, Butanon, Nitromethan und Dichlormethan, in dem, wie bereits herkömmlich bekannt, der Reizstoff gelöst ist. Weiterhin ist in dem Lösungsmittel auch der medizinische Klebstoff gelöst. Denn Cyanoacrylat-Präparate der angegebenen Art sind im Normalzustand (bei Raumtemperatur, Athmosphärendruck) flüssig und ebenso wie Polyvinylpyrrolidon oder Cellolosenitrat in herkömmlichen Lösungsmitteln löslich. Die gelöste Kombination an Reizstoffen und medizinischen Klebstoffen wird dann wie bei herkömmlichen Reizgassprays als Aerosol verbreitet.According to the invention, the spacer combat means is designed as a spray device. The housing of the Distanzkampfmittels is thus in the manner of a spray can a pressure vessel with spray nozzle containing a liquefied propellant such as propane or butane as propellant. Furthermore, the spray can contains a solvent such as acetone, butanone, nitromethane and dichloromethane, in which, as already conventionally known, the irritant is dissolved. Furthermore, the medical adhesive is also dissolved in the solvent. For cyanoacrylate preparations of the specified type are liquid in the normal state (at room temperature, atmospheric pressure) and, like polyvinylpyrrolidone or cellulose nitrate, soluble in conventional solvents. The dissolved combination of irritants and medical adhesives is then spread as aerosol as in conventional irritant gas sprays.

Anstatt ein Lösungsmittel zum Lösen des Reizstoffens und des Klebstoffes sowie ein schwach reaktives Treibgas als Treibmittel zum Austreiben der Lösung zu verwenden wäre es außerdem denkbar, in der Sprühdose bzw. in dem Sprühgerät ein leicht verflüssigbares Gas mit entsprechenden Lösungsmitteleigenschaften einzusetzen, welches gleichzeitig als Treibgas und Lösungsmittel fungieren kann.Instead of using a solvent for dissolving the irritant and the adhesive and a weakly reactive propellant gas as propellant for expelling the solution, it would also be conceivable to use in the spray can or in the sprayer a readily liquefiable gas with appropriate solvent properties, which at the same time as propellant and Solvent can act.

Bei dem als Sprühgerät ausgebildeten Distanzkampfmittel müssen somit keine besonderen Maßnahmen getroffen werden, um die erfindungsgemäß vorgesehene Zusetzung des medizinischen Klebstoffs in die auszubringende Ladung zu bewerkstelligen.
Im Folgenden wird anhand der beiliegenden Figur die Wirkung der Klebstoff-Reizstoffkombination erläutert. Die Figur 1 zeigt allerdings ein als Reizgaspatrone ausgebildetes Kampfmittel im Querschnitt, und somit keine Ausführungsform der Erfindung.
Die in Figur 1 gezeigte Reizstoffpatrone weist ein aus einer Patronenhülse 2 und einem Stopfen 4 bestehendes Gehäuse 2, 4 auf. Im Boden der Patronenhülse 2 ist ein Zündhütchen 1 eingepresst. Das Zündhütchen 1 kann als Berdanzündhütchen (Berdanzündung) oder Boxerzündhütchen (Boxerzündung) aufgeführt sein. Alternativ könnte die gesamte Patrone als Randfeuerpatrone aufgeführt sein. Im bodennahen Bereich innerhalb der Patronenhülse 2 ist dabei ein Treibstoff bzw. ein Treibmittel 3 untergebracht, beispielsweise Schwarzpulver.
Der Stopfen 4 besteht aus Kunststoff und ist als in die Patronenhülse 2 eingepresste zylindrische Innenhülse mit zwei Querwänden 9, 11 ausgebildet. Die außenseitige Querwand 10 bildet dabei die die Patrone auf der dem Boden abgewandten Seite abdeckende Außenwand und ist mit einer Sollbruchstelle 8 versehen. Die innenseitige Querwand 9 ist ebenfalls mit einer Sollbruchstelle 6 versehen. Die beiden Querwände 9, 10 und der dazwischen befindliche Abschnitt der Innenhülse bilden eine geschlossene Klebstoffkammer, in der ein medizinischer Klebstoff 7, beispielsweise ein Cyanocrylat-Präparat in flüssiger Form untergebracht ist. Au der zum Boden hin gewandten Seite der innenseitigen Querwand 9 erstreckt sich die zylindrische Innenhülse des Stopfens 4 weiter zum Boden hin, um dort eine weitere Kammer in dem Stopfen 4 auszuformen, in der ein Reizstoff 5, also beispielsweise ein CS-Gas bildender Feststoff aus 2-Chlorbenzyliden-malonsäuredinitril untergebracht ist. Diese weitere Kammer ist mit einem bodenseitigen Deckel 11, beispielsweise aus Karton abgedeckt.In the trained as a spraying distance fighting means thus no special measures must be taken to accomplish the inventively provided addition of the medical adhesive in the charge to be delivered.
In the following, the effect of the adhesive-irritant combination will be explained with reference to the accompanying figure. The FIG. 1 However, shows a designed as an irritant gas cartridge ordnance in cross section, and thus no embodiment of the invention.
In the FIG. 1 shown irritant cartridge has a consisting of a cartridge case 2 and a plug 4 housing 2, 4. In the bottom of the cartridge case 2, a primer 1 is pressed. The primer 1 can be listed as Berdanzündhütchen (Berdanzündung) or Boxerzündhütchen (boxer ignition). Alternatively, the entire cartridge could be listed as a rimfire cartridge. In the area near the bottom within the cartridge case 2 while a fuel or a propellant 3 is housed, for example, black powder.
The plug 4 is made of plastic and is designed as a pressed-in the cartridge case 2 cylindrical inner sleeve with two transverse walls 9, 11. The outside transverse wall 10 forms the cartridge on the side facing away from the bottom side outer wall and is provided with a predetermined breaking point 8. The inside transverse wall 9 is also provided with a predetermined breaking point 6. The two transverse walls 9, 10 and the intermediate portion of the inner sleeve form a closed adhesive chamber in which a medical adhesive 7, for example, a cyanocrylate preparation is housed in liquid form. Au the side facing the bottom side of the inside transverse wall 9, the cylindrical inner sleeve of the plug 4 further extends to the bottom to form there another chamber in the plug 4, in which an irritant 5, so for example, a CS gas-forming solid 2-chlorobenzylidene-malononitrile is housed. This further chamber is covered with a bottom-side cover 11, for example made of cardboard.

Wenn der Schlagbolzen der verwendeten Schreckschusspistole oder des verwendeten Schreckschussrevolvers auf das Zündhütchen 1 trifft, entzündet dieses das Treibmittel 3. Als Treibmittel 3 kommen beispielsweise auch Schießpulver, Blitzpulver, Cellulosenitrat oder Kordit in Betracht.When the firing pin of the firing gun used or the used Schreckschussrevolvers hits the primer 1, this ignites the propellant 3. As propellant 3 are, for example, gunpowder, flash powder, cellulose nitrate or cordite into consideration.

Im zweiteiligen Kammersystem des aus Kunststoff bestehenden Stopfens 4 ist der Reizstoff 5 in der bodennahen Kammer und der medizinische Flüssigklebstoff 7 in der bodenfernen Kammer untergebracht.In the two-part chamber system of the existing plastic plug 4 of the irritant 5 in the ground-level chamber and the medical liquid adhesive 7 is housed in the floor-distant chamber.

Durch den enormen Druck, der durch den Abbrand des Treibstoffes 3 entsteht, platzt das Kammersystem des Stopfens 4 an den Sollbruchstellen 6 und 8 der Querwände 9, 10 auf und der medizinische Flüssigklebstoff 7 sowie der Reizstoff 5 werden aus der Patronenhülse 2 herausgeschleudert. Der medizinische Flüssigklebstoff 7 und der Reizstoff 5 werden dann im Lauf der verwendeten Waffe vernebelt und treten zusammen mit Verbrennungsrückständen des verwendeten Treibmittels 3 mit hoher Geschwindigkeit aus der Laufmündung aus.Due to the enormous pressure created by the combustion of the fuel 3, the chamber system of the plug 4 bursts at the predetermined breaking points 6 and 8 of the transverse walls 9, 10 and the medical liquid adhesive 7 and the irritant 5 are ejected from the cartridge case 2. The liquid medical adhesive 7 and the irritant 5 are then nebulized in the course of the weapon used and exit at high speed from the muzzle together with combustion residues of the blowing agent 3 used.

Durch Körperflüssigkeiten an den betroffenen Körperstellen des abzuwehrenden Angreifers oder Tieres tritt Polymerisation der Cyanocrylate 7 ein. Damit haftet der Reizstoff 5 länger an den betroffenen Körperpartien. Wenn die Augen direkt betroffen sind, kann der Reizstoff 5 auch nicht einfach durch Tränenflüssigkeit ausgewaschen werden, da Cyanacrylate nicht wasserlöslich sind. Somit ist der Angreifer länger außer Gefecht gesetzt als es bei herkömmlichen Reizgassprühgeräten und Reizgaspatronen der Fall wäre.Polymerization of cyanocrylates 7 occurs through bodily fluids at the affected body sites of the attacker or animal to be defended. Thus the irritant 5 sticks longer to the affected body parts. Also, if the eyes are directly affected, the irritant 5 can not easily be washed out by tear fluid since cyanoacrylates are not water-soluble. Thus, the attacker is out of action longer than would be the case with conventional irritant gas sprayers and irritant gas cartridges.
