Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein 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 Cyanoacrylat-Präparat, Polyvinylpyrrolidon oder Cellulosenitrat enthält.The invention relates to a ranged combat agent for the non-lethal application of irritant to the human or animal body, which has a housing which contains at least one irritant, a propellant, and also at least one medical adhesive, namely a cyanoacrylate preparation, polyvinylpyrrolidone or cellulose nitrate.

Herkömmliche, lediglich Reizgas enthaltende Reizgas-Distanzkampfmittel gibt es entweder als Reizgas-Sprühdosen oder 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.Conventional, only irritant gas-containing, distance-fighting agents are available either as irritant gas spray cans or as a shock-or. Gas gun sealable irritant gas cartridges on the other hand. Irritant gas cartridges do not have a projectile, but a stopper provided with a predetermined breaking point, which is pressed into the cartridge case, which in turn contains an irritant charge.

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.Attempts have already been made to create irritant gas ranged weapons with an additional benefit. So shows the German utility model DE 8909166 U1 a tear gas cartridge with a sleeve, which contains an irritant filling and a propellant charge and has an igniter. The irritant filling consists of an aqueous gel in which an irritant is dissolved, with a dye filling additionally being provided spatially separated therefrom so as not only to apply irritant to the bombarded target, but also to mark 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 irritant to the body exposed to it. So is in the international patent application WO 2006 055 640 A2 proposed a pepper gel in composition as a component of a self-defense spray containing 0.1 to 1.5% capsaicinoid compounds and preferably contains at least 1.4% capsaicinoid. This composition is said to adhere particularly well to surfaces, improve the range of the spray and reduce the risk of spraying too much.

Weiterhin bekannt sind Reizstoffpatronen mit mehreren aufeinanderfolgenden Lagen von Treibladungen und Reizstoffen, siehe FR 2 523 718 A1 .Irritant cartridges with several successive layers of propellant charges and irritants are also known, 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, unlike irritant gas cartridges, only release their charge when they hit the target. Such a projectile is in the US 8 186 275 B1 described, wherein the charge can consist of a sticky foam mixed with irritants or color markings.

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-part stopper, in the upper chamber of which an adhesive is contained which is intended to mark or adhere to an opponent and in whose lower chamber an irritant such as capsaicin etc. is to be contained.

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 discloses US 9 022 255 B1 a ranged weapon with a housing attached to a firearm, in which three bottles are accommodated, one of which contains an adhesive, the second an activating agent for the adhesive and the third an additional ingredient. The other ingredient is a tranquilizer, sleeping pill, poison or infectious agent or the like. A pressurized fluid, such as nitrogen or a pump, is also used to drive the ingredients out of the bottles. 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.Proceeding from this, it is an object of the present invention to develop a ranged combat means of the generic type with simple means so that the effect with which the irritants applied to the body acted on 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 sich dadurch aus, dass der Reizstoff 2-Chlorbenzyliden-malonsäuredinitril (CS), ω-Chloracetophenon (CN), oder Capsaicin (CPS) ist, wobei das Distanzkampfmittel als Reizstoffpatrone ausgebildet ist und das Gehäuse (2, 4) als eine von einem Stopfen (4) verschlossene Patronenhülse (2), in der der Klebstoff (7) in flüssiger Form enthalten ist, und wobei in dem Gehäuse eine allseits geschlossene, den Klebstoff enthaltende Klebstoffkammer untergebracht ist, die in dem die Patronenhülse verschließende Stopfen ausgebildet ist, und wobei der Stopfen eine in die Patronenhülse eingepresste, zylindrischen Innenhülse mit einer innenseitigen und einer außenseitigen Querwand ist, welche die Klebstoffkammer bilden, und wobei sich die zylindrische Innenhülse des Stopfens über die innenseitige Querwand hinaus nach innen zum Boden der Patronenhülse hin erstreckt, wobei die dadurch auf der dem Boden zugewandten Seite der innenseitige Querwand geformte Aufnahme mit dem Reizstoff gefüllt ist.The ranged combat agent according to the invention is characterized in that the irritant is 2-chlorobenzylidene malononitrile (CS), ω-chloroacetophenone (CN), or capsaicin (CPS), the ranged weapon being designed as an irritant cartridge and the housing (2, 4) as a cartridge sleeve (2) closed by a stopper (4), in which the adhesive (7) is contained in liquid form, and wherein in the housing there is housed an all-round closed adhesive chamber containing the adhesive, which is formed in the stopper closing the cartridge sleeve and wherein the stopper is a cylindrical inner sleeve pressed into the cartridge case with an inside and an outside transverse wall, which form the adhesive chamber, and wherein the cylindrical inner sleeve of the stopper extends beyond the inside transverse wall inwards towards the bottom of the cartridge case, whereby the inside of the transverse wall on the side facing the floor d shaped receptacle is filled with the irritant.

In dem Gehäuse des Distanzkampfmittels ist dabei neben dem 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 besonders vorteilhaft 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.In addition to the irritant contained therein, the housing of the ranged weapon contains at least one medical adhesive. Medical adhesives are available in liquid form under normal conditions, i.e. room temperature and atmospheric pressure, and are actually intended for wound closure. These are cyanoacrylate preparations that are used in a very 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 includes compounds which are used in so-called spray plasters to cover a wound, that is to say also have a certain degree of adhesion to the body's own tissue, although not as strong as the aforementioned cyanoacrylate. Preparations. These liquid patch active ingredients are made, for example, of polyvinylpyrrolidone or cellulose nitrate. The cyanoacrylate preparations which are particularly advantageously added as a medical adhesive are preferably butyl octyl or isobutyl cyanoacrylate ester. These are monomers that are in contact with various body fluids, e.g. B. polymerize sweat, tears or blood or air humidity 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 ranged weapon, the exposure time of the irritant can be extended. Because the known irritants are extremely volatile when the body is sprayed or sprayed with an irritant gas cartridge, so that the effects of the irritant are quickly reduced after spraying or bombardment. If medical adhesives of the specified type are now mixed in, the integrated irritants adhere longer to the attacker or animal to be warded off, thereby maximizing their effect. If you want to achieve a particularly strong adhesive effect, you add cyanoacrylate preparations of the type specified, if you only want to achieve a weakened form of the adhesive effect, you take the active ingredients contained in the spray plaster, namely polyvinylpyrrolidone or cellulose nitrate.

Bei dem erfindungsgemäß als Reizgaspatrone ausgebildeten Distanzkampfmittel ist die gewünschte Funktion durch weitere vorteilhafte Maßnahmen sichergestellt.In the case of the ranged combat weapon designed according to the invention as an irritant gas cartridge, the desired function is ensured by further advantageous measures.

Erfindungsgemäß ist das Distanzkampfmittel als Reizgaspatrone ausgebildet und weist ein Gehäuse auf, das als eine von einem Stopfen verschlossene Patronenhülse ausgebildet ist. Der medizinische Klebstoff ist dabei in der Reizstoffpatrone bzw. in dem Gehäuse in flüssiger Form enthalten. In flüssiger Form enthalten heißt, dass der Klebstoff bei Einsatz der Reizstoffpatrone unter Normalbedingungen (Raumtemperatur, Athmosphärendruck) flüssig ist, so dass der medizinische Klebstoff direkt wirtksam ist. Denn Cyanoacrylate entfalten ihre Wirkung ebenso wie Polyvinylpyrrolidon oder Cellulosenitrat als Kleb- bzw. Haftstoff nur in flüssiger Form. Dabei ist der Reizstoff separat von dem Klebstoff in der Reizstoffpatrone untergebracht. Denn es existieren zwar Reizstoffpatronen, in denen die Reizstofffüllung aus einem wässrigen Gel besteht, in welchem das Reizmittel gelöst ist, so dass es durchaus auch denkbar wäre, in einem solchen wässrigen Gel auch noch den medizinischen Klebstoff zu lösen. Ob die gewünschte Kleb- bzw. Haftwirkung dabei in vollem Umfang erhalten bleibt ist jedoch zweifelhaft.According to the invention, the ranged combat agent is designed as an irritant gas cartridge and has a housing which is designed as a cartridge case closed by a stopper. The medical adhesive is contained in the irritant cartridge or in the housing in liquid form. Containing in liquid form means that when the irritant cartridge is used, the adhesive is liquid under normal conditions (room temperature, atmospheric pressure), so that the medical adhesive is directly effective. This is because cyanoacrylates, like polyvinylpyrrolidone or cellulose nitrate, only work as an adhesive in liquid form. The irritant is housed separately from the adhesive in the irritant cartridge. Because there are irritant cartridges in which the irritant filling consists of an aqueous gel in which the Irritant is dissolved, so that it would also be conceivable to also dissolve the medical adhesive in such an aqueous gel. However, it is doubtful whether the desired adhesive or adhesive effect will be retained in full.

Bei den erfindungsgemäß eingesetzten Reizstoffen handelt es sich dagegen um Stoffe, die im Normalzustand als Feststoff bzw. pulverförmig vorliegen. So ist 2-Chlorbenzyliden-Malonsäuredinitril eine farblose, kristalline Verbindung mit einem Schmelzpunkt von 96° C,

Figure imgb0001
-Chloracetonphenon ein gelblicher, kristalliner Feststoff mit einem Schmelzpunkt von 56,5° C und Capsaicin ein natürlich vorkommendes Alkaloid mit einem Schmelzpunkt von 65 bis 66° C. Im Sinne einer verbesserten Wirkung ist es daher vorteilhaft, wenn der Reizstoff und das Treibmittel jedenfalls separiert voneinander in der Patronenhülse aufbewahrt sind, was sich aufgrund des festen Aggregatzustands leicht und ohne weitere Maßnahmen auch durchführen lässt. Bezüglich des flüssigen Klebstoffs erfordert die Separierung jedoch weitere Maßnahmen.In contrast, the irritants used according to the invention are substances which are present in the normal state as a solid or in powder form. For example, 2-chlorobenzylidene-malononitrile is a colorless, crystalline compound with a melting point of 96 ° C,
Figure imgb0001
-Chloracetonphenon a yellowish, crystalline solid with a melting point of 56.5 ° C and Capsaicin a naturally occurring alkaloid with a melting point of 65 to 66 ° C. In the sense of an improved effect, it is therefore advantageous if the irritant and the propellant are separated in any case are kept from each other in the cartridge case, which can be carried out easily and without further measures due to the solid state of matter. With regard to the liquid adhesive, however, the separation requires further measures.

Dazu ist in der Patronenhülse bzw. in der Patrone eine allseits geschlossene, den Klebstoff in flüssiger Form enthaltende Klebstoffkammer untergebracht, und zwar in einem die Patronenhülse verschließenden Stopfen, welcher bevorzugt als einstückiges Kunststoffteil ausgebildet sein kann, und welcher in die Patronenhülse eingepresst ist und somit vorab mit dem Flüssigklebstoff in der Kammer befüllt werden konnte. Der Stopfen hat die Form einer in die Patronenhülse eingepressten, zylindrischen Innenhülse, die eine innenseitige und eine außenseitige Querwand aufweist, wobei die Querwände und der Bereich der Innenhülse zwischen den Querwänden die Klebstoffkammer bilden. Vorteilhaft weisen die Querwände dabei jeweils zumindest eine Sollbruchstelle auf.For this purpose, an all-round closed adhesive chamber containing the adhesive in liquid form is accommodated in the cartridge case or in the cartridge, specifically in a stopper which closes the cartridge case, which can preferably be designed as a one-piece plastic part, and which is pressed into the cartridge case and thus could be filled in advance with the liquid adhesive in the chamber. The stopper has the shape of a cylindrical inner sleeve pressed into the cartridge case, which has an inside and an outside transverse wall, the transverse walls and the region of the inner sleeve between the transverse walls forming the adhesive chamber. The transverse walls advantageously each have at least one predetermined breaking point.

Weiterhin erstreckt sich die zylindrische Innenhülse des Stopfens dabei über die innenseitige Querwand hinaus nach innen zum Boden der Patronenhülse hin, so dass dadurch auf der dem Boden zugewandten Seite der innenseitigen Querwand eine Aufnahme ausgebildet ist, die mit dem Reizstoff gefüllt werden kann. Die Aufnahme mit dem Reizstoff kann dabei durch eine bodenseitige Bodenwand des Stopfens ebenfalls als allseitig geschlossene Kammer ausgeformt sein, wobei dann die Bodenwand vorzugsweise ebenfalls eine Sollbruchstelle aufweist und/oder aus Kunststoff besteht. Andererseits kann die Aufnahme auch offen sein und die Trennung von Reizstoff und Treibmittel einfach räumlich vorgenommen werden. Ebenfalls denkbar wäre es, die Aufnahme mit dem Reizmittel mit einem Deckel oder einem anderen Trennelement abzudecken.Furthermore, the cylindrical inner sleeve of the stopper extends beyond the inside transverse wall inwards to the bottom of the cartridge case, so that a receptacle is formed on the side of the inside transverse wall facing the floor which can be filled with the irritant. The Recording with the irritant can also be formed as a chamber closed on all sides by a bottom wall of the stopper, in which case the bottom wall preferably also has a predetermined breaking point and / or consists of plastic. On the other hand, the intake can also be open and the separation of irritant and propellant can be carried out simply spatially. It would also be conceivable to cover the receptacle with the stimulant with a cover or another separating element.

Vorteilhaft ist es ferner, wenn das Treibmittel separat von dem Klebstoff in der Reizstoffpatrone untergebracht ist. Denn der medizinische Klebstoff ist von dem in Reizstoffpatronen als Treibmittel eingesetzten Feststoff (Schießpulver, Blitzpulver, Kordit oder Cellulosenitrat in fester Form) zu trennen, der herkömmlich am Boden der Reizgaspatrone anzuordnen ist, um die Reizstoff-Klebstoff-Ladung nach der Zündung auszutreiben.It is also advantageous if the propellant is accommodated in the irritant cartridge separately from the adhesive. This is because the medical adhesive must be separated from the solid (gunpowder, flash powder, cordite or cellulose nitrate in solid form) used as a propellant in irritant cartridges, which is conventionally to be arranged on the bottom of the irritant gas cartridge in order to expel the irritant adhesive charge after ignition.

Vorteilhaft weist die Patronenhülse also einen Boden auf, in den ein Zündhütchen eingepresst ist oder einen bodennahen Rand, in den ein Zündsatz eingegossen ist, wobei der Klebstoff in einem vom Boden entfernten Klebstoffbereich angeordnet ist, der durch eine Zwischenwand von einem dem Boden und dem Klebstoffbereich zwischengeordneten Zwischenbereich getrennt ist, in welchem sich zumindest das Treibmittel, bevorzugt auch das Reizmittel bzw. der Reizstoff befindet.Advantageously, the cartridge case therefore has a base into which a primer is pressed or an edge near the base into which an primer is poured, the adhesive being arranged in an adhesive region that is distant from the base and that is separated by an intermediate wall from one of the base and the adhesive region intermediate intermediate area is separated, in which at least the propellant, preferably also the irritant or the irritant is located.

Vorteilhaft sind dabei zumindest zwei Kammern in der Patrone vorgesehen, die Klebstoffkammer und zumindest eine weitere Kammer zur Aufnahme des Treibmittels und des Reizstoffs, um das Aufsaugen des Klebstoffs durch die als Pulver oder Feststoff vorliegenden Treibmittel bzw. Reizstoffe zu verhindern. Besonders bevorzugt ist es dabei, wenn das Innere der Patronenhülse in drei Kammern unterteilt ist, eine für den Klebstoff, eine für das Treibmittel bzw. Schießpulver und eine für den Reizstoff.At least two chambers are advantageously provided in the cartridge, the adhesive chamber and at least one further chamber for receiving the propellant and the irritant in order to prevent the adhesive from being sucked up by the propellants or irritants present as powder or solid. It is particularly preferred if the interior of the cartridge case is divided into three chambers, one for the adhesive, one for the propellant or gunpowder and one for the irritant.

Weiterhin vorteilhaft ist es, wenn sich der Klebstoff nahe der Austrittsöffnung der Patrone auf der dem Boden abgewandten Seite der Patrone befindet und in dem Zwischenbereich zwischen dem Klebstoff und dem Boden mit dem Zündhütchen bzw. Zündsatz das Treibmittel und der Reizstoff angeordnet sind, wobei weiterhin bevorzugt das Treibmittel auf der dem Boden zugewandten Seite und der Reizstoff auf der dem Klebstoff zugewandten Seite separat voneinander untergebracht sind. Der Zwischenbereich zwischen dem Boden und dem Klebstoffbereich, in dem der Klebstoff spitzennah untergebracht ist, ist also vorteilhaft in einen bodennahen Treibsatzbereich mit dem Treibmittel und einen demgegenüber bodenferneren Reizstoffbereich mit dem Reizstoff unterteilt, wobei nicht unbedingt eine feste Trennung vorhanden sein muss. Vorteilhaft ist jedoch eine Separierung des Zwischenbereichs in den Treibsatzbereich und den Reizstoffbereich vorhanden, beispielsweise in Form eines zwischengeordneten Deckels, einer Membran oder einer dünnen Kunststoffwand.It is also advantageous if the adhesive is close to the outlet opening Cartridge is located on the side of the cartridge facing away from the base and the propellant and the irritant are arranged in the intermediate region between the adhesive and the base with the primer or primer, further preferably the propellant on the side facing the base and the irritant on the side the adhesive-facing side are housed separately from each other. The intermediate area between the floor and the adhesive area, in which the adhesive is housed close to the tip, is therefore advantageously divided into a propellant area near the floor with the propellant and an irritant area with the irritant, which is far from the ground, although there is not necessarily a need for a firm separation. However, there is advantageously a separation of the intermediate area into the propellant area and the irritant area, for example in the form of an intermediate cover, a membrane or a thin plastic wall.

Vorteilhaft befindet sich der Klebstoffbereich also auf der dem Boden abgewandten Seite des Zwischenbereichs direkt unter der Deckwand des die Patronenhülse verschließenden Stopfens. Die Deckwand des Stopfens kann dabei gleichzeitig eine Außenwand des Gehäuses und eine Begrenzungswand des Klebstoffbereichs bilden. Um die Ausbringung des Klebstoffs beim Abschuss der Patrone sicherzustellen, ist die Deckwand des Stopfens dabei vorteilhaft so gestaltet, dass sie nach Abfeuern der Patrone birst. Dazu kann sie beispielsweise aus einem Kunststoff in einer solchen Dicke ausgeführt sein, dass dies sichergestellt ist. Alternativ oder ergänzend kann sie auch eine Sollbruchstelle aufweisen.The adhesive area is therefore advantageously located on the side of the intermediate area facing away from the floor directly below the top wall of the stopper closing the cartridge case. The top wall of the stopper can simultaneously form an outer wall of the housing and a boundary wall of the adhesive area. In order to ensure the application of the adhesive when the cartridge is fired, the top wall of the stopper is advantageously designed such that it bursts after the cartridge has been fired. For this purpose, it can for example be made of a plastic in such a thickness that this is ensured. Alternatively or additionally, it can also have a predetermined breaking point.

Weiterhin vorteilhaft ist der Klebstoffbereich durch eine in der ihn auf der dem Boden zugewandten Seite begrenzende Zwischenwand von dem das Treibmittel und den Reizstoff enthaltenden Zwischenbereich abgetrennt bzw. separiert. Um auch hier das Bersten der Zwischenwand beim Abfeuern der Patrone sicherzustellen und damit die Ausbringung des Klebstoffs aber auch das Ausstoßen des Reizmittels, kann auch diese Zwischenwand aus Kunststoff bestehen. Alternativ oder ergänzend weist die Zwischenwand ferner eine (oder mehrere) Sollbruchstellen auf, die das Zerbersten derselben beim Abfeuern der Patrone bewirkt oder zumindest unterstützt.The adhesive region is furthermore advantageously separated or separated from the intermediate region containing the propellant and the irritant by an intermediate wall delimiting it on the side facing the floor. In order to ensure that the intermediate wall bursts when the cartridge is fired and thus also the application of the adhesive but also the expulsion of the irritant, this intermediate wall can also be made of plastic. Alternatively or additionally, the partition wall also has a (or several) predetermined breaking points, which causes them to burst when the cartridge is fired or at least supports them.

Die Zwischenwand und die Deckwand können dabei Teil der die den Klebstoff enthaltenden Klebstoffkammer bildenden, allseits geschlossenen Wandung sein, welche vorteilhaft einstückig mit dem Stopfen ausgebildet ist.The intermediate wall and the top wall can be part of the wall which forms the adhesive chamber containing the adhesive and is closed on all sides and which is advantageously formed in one piece with the stopper.

Im Folgenden wird anhand der beiliegenden Figur eine vorteilhafte Ausführungsform der Erfindung im Einzelnen erläutert.

Figur 1
zeigt ein als Reizgaspatrone ausgebildetes Kampfmittel gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung im Querschnitt.
An advantageous embodiment of the invention is explained in detail below with reference to the attached figure.
Figure 1
shows a weapon designed as an irritant gas cartridge according to an advantageous embodiment of the invention in cross section.

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.In the Figure 1 Irritant cartridge shown has a housing 2, 4 consisting of a cartridge case 2 and a stopper 4. A primer 1 is pressed into the bottom of the cartridge case 2. The primer 1 can be listed as a Berdanzündhutchen (Berdan ignition) or a Boxer primer (Boxer ignition). Alternatively, the entire cartridge could be listed as a rimfire cartridge. A fuel or a propellant 3, for example black powder, is accommodated in the area near the bottom within the cartridge case 2.

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.The stopper 4 is made of plastic and is designed as a cylindrical inner sleeve with two transverse walls 9, 11 pressed into the cartridge case 2. The outside transverse wall 10 forms the outer wall covering the cartridge on the side facing away from the floor 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 section of the inner sleeve located between them form a closed adhesive chamber in which a medical adhesive 7, for example a cyanocrylate preparation, is accommodated in liquid form. On the side of the inside transverse wall 9 facing the floor, the cylindrical inner sleeve of the stopper 4 extends further to the floor in order to form a further chamber in the stopper 4 there, in which an irritant 5, for example a CS gas-forming solid made of 2-chlorobenzylidene malononitrile. This further chamber is covered with a cover 11 on the bottom, 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.If the firing pin of the firing gun or the firing revolver used hits the primer 1, this ignites the propellant 3. As the propellant 3, for example, gunpowder, flash powder, cellulose nitrate or cordite can also be used.

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 plug 4, which is made of plastic, the irritant 5 is accommodated in the chamber near the floor and the medical liquid adhesive 7 in the chamber away from the floor.

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 caused by the burning 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 thrown out of the cartridge case 2. The medical liquid adhesive 7 and the irritant 5 are then atomized in the barrel of the weapon used and, together with combustion residues of the propellant 3 used, emerge from the barrel muzzle at high speed.

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 the cyanocrylates 7 occurs through body fluids on the affected body parts of the attacker or animal to be defended. This means that the irritant 5 adheres longer to the affected parts of the body. If the eyes are directly affected, the irritant 5 cannot simply be washed out with tear fluid, since cyanoacrylates are not water-soluble. The attacker is thus incapacitated for longer than would be the case with conventional irritant gas sprayers and irritant gas cartridges.

Abwandlungen und Modifikationen der gezeigten Ausführungsform sind möglich, ohne den Rahmen der Erfindung zu verlassen.Modifications and modifications of the embodiment shown are possible without leaving the scope of the invention.
