Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen adaptiven Wurfkörper, beispielsweise für Nebelwurfkörper. Solche Wurfkörper werden häufig über entsprechende Werfer zum Ausbringen von Effektladungen von Fahrzeugen oder stationären Vorrichtungen verwendet.The present invention relates to an adaptive projectile, for example for smoke projectiles. Such projectiles are often used via corresponding launchers for deploying effect charges from vehicles or stationary devices.

Solche Wurfkörper bestehen zumeist aus einem Gehäuse und einem innenliegenden Effektkörper, welcher geworfen wird und die entsprechende Effektladung ausbringen kann. Dazu wird der Wurfkörper auf einem entsprechenden Werfer montiert, wobei wichtig ist, dass der Wurfkörper im montierten Zustand auf dem Werfer möglichst wenig Bewegungsfreiheiten besitz, um beim Ausbringen des Wurfkörpers keine Bewegung auszuführen, damit der Wurfkörper zielgenau ausgebracht werden kann.Such projectiles usually consist of a housing and an internal effect body, which is thrown and can deploy the corresponding effect charge. For this purpose, the throwing body is mounted on a corresponding launcher, whereby it is important that the throwing body has as little freedom of movement as possible when mounted on the launcher, so that it does not move when the throwing body is deployed, so that the launching body can be deployed precisely.

Ein entsprechender Wurfkörper ist in der DE 693 11 805 T und in der DE 10 2013 108 822 B4 gezeigt.A corresponding throwing body is in the DE 693 11 805 T and in the DE 10 2013 108 822 B4 shown.

Solche Abwurfkörper können jedoch unterschiedliche Kaliber aufweisen, da es verschiedene Hersteller gibt, die solche Wurfkörper fertigen und in verschiedenen Ländern eigene bzw. unterschiedliche Werfersysteme existieren. So wird bislang so verfahren, dass für jedes dieser Werfer ein entsprechender Wurfkörper mit entsprechendem Kaliber existiert. So ist es mit dem bisherigen Wurfkörper aus dem Stand der Technik nicht möglich, verschiedene Werfersysteme mit unterschiedlichen Kalibern mit einem universellen Wurfkörper zu bestücken.However, such launching bodies can have different calibers, since there are different manufacturers who produce such launching bodies and different countries have their own or different launcher systems. So far, the procedure has been such that a corresponding projectile with a corresponding caliber exists for each of these throwers. So it is not possible with the previous projectile from the prior art to equip different launcher systems with different calibers with a universal projectile.

Diese Aufgabe stellt sich die vorliegende Erfindung nämlich einen adaptiven Wurfkörper bereitzustellen, welcher auf die verschiedenen Werfersysteme, insbesondere auf die verschiedenen Kaliber der einzelnen Werfersysteme angepasst werden kann.This is the object of the present invention: to provide an adaptive throwing body which can be adapted to the different launcher systems, in particular to the different calibers of the individual launcher systems.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit den Merkmalen des Hauptanspruchs gelöst. Vorgeschlagen wird ein Wurfkörper mit einem Gehäuse welches Führungsfinnen aufweist. Diese Führungsfinnen sind am Umfang des Gehäuses angebracht und erstrecken sich in axialer Richtung. Diese Führungsfinnen bilden dann den Außenradius beim Einbringen des Wurfkörpers in einen entsprechenden Werfer.This object is solved with the features of the main claim. A throwing body with a housing which has guide fins is proposed. These guide fins are attached to the circumference of the housing and extend in the axial direction. These guide fins then form the outer radius when the projectile is introduced into a corresponding launcher.

Das Gehäuse besitzt einen Hohlraum zur Aufnahme einer inneren Hülle, dazu ist das Gehäuse wie ein Hohlzylinder gestaltet und der Innenraum des Hohlzylinders ist der Hohlraum zur Aufnahme der inneren Hülle. Die innere Hülle wiederum wird mit mindestens einer pyrotechnischen Wirkladung versehen. Hierzu sind mehrere Wirkladungen denkbar, insbesondere Nebel erzeugende Ladungen. Es sind aber auch weitere optische Ladungen denkbar, wie zum Beispiel Ladungen zur Ausbringung von infrarot Partikeln oder akustische Ladungen zur Erzeugung eines Knalleffekts. Da mindestens eine pyrotechnische Wirkladung vorgesehen ist, können auch mehrere dieser Ladungen kombiniert werden.The housing has a cavity for accommodating an inner shell, for this purpose the housing is designed like a hollow cylinder and the interior of the hollow cylinder is the cavity for accommodating the inner shell. The inner shell, in turn, is provided with at least one pyrotechnic active charge. Several active charges are conceivable for this purpose, in particular charges that generate fog. However, other optical charges are also conceivable, such as charges for emitting infrared particles or acoustic charges for generating a bang effect. Since at least one pyrotechnic active charge is provided, several of these charges can also be combined.

Der Wurfkörper besitzt weiterhin eine Pulverkammer, welche eine Treibladung für den Wurfkörper bereitstellt. Diese Treibladung erzeugt bei Zündung den entsprechenden Druck, um den Wurfkörper aus dem Werfer herauszuwerfen. Die Pulverkammer kann dazu variabel befüllt werden, nämlich mit variablen Pulvermengen oder auch mit einer entsprechenden Materialzusammensetzung des Pulvers. Hierdurch kann der gewünschte Druck der erzeugt wird, beim Werfen des Wurfkörpers beliebig eingestellt werden.The projectile also has a powder chamber, which provides a propellant charge for the projectile. When ignited, this propellant charge generates the appropriate pressure to eject the projectile from the launcher. For this purpose, the powder chamber can be filled variably, namely with variable amounts of powder or also with a corresponding material composition of the powder. As a result, the desired pressure that is generated when throwing the projectile can be set as desired.

Ebenfalls weist der Wurfkörper einen Verzögerungssatz auf, welcher die Wirkladung bzw. die Wirkladungen zünden kann. Dazu ist es möglich, dass der Verzögerungssatz die Wirkladung direkt zündet oder das ein Zündkanal vorgesehen ist, der die Wirkladung durch Abbrand initiiert. In beiden Fällen sind die verschiedenen Wirkladungen in Längsebene nacheinander in der Hülle des Wurfkörpers angeordnet. Eine einzelne Wirkladung kann dabei auch geschichtet angeordnet sein.The throwing body also has a delay charge which can ignite the active charge or charges. For this purpose, it is possible for the delay unit to ignite the active charge directly or for an ignition channel to be provided which initiates the active charge by burning up. In both cases, the various active charges are arranged one after the other in the longitudinal plane in the shell of the projectile. A single active charge can also be arranged in layers.

Weiterhin besitzt der Wurfkörper einen Kontakt, mittels welchem die Treibladung in der Pulverkammer initiiert werden kann, sowie auch der Verzögerungssatz initiiert werden kann. Der Kontakt sorgt somit für eine Zündung von Wirkladung und Verzögerungssatz.Furthermore, the projectile has a contact, by means of which the propellant charge can be initiated in the powder chamber, and also the delay set can be initiated. The contact thus ensures that the active charge and the delay unit are ignited.

Der Kontakt ist so angebracht, dass bei Einbringen des Wurfkörpers in einen entsprechenden Werfer der Kontakt mit einer entsprechenden Zündeinrichtung in Wirkverbindung steht. Der Kontakt kann hierzu als Zündplättchen oder als elektrischer Kontakt ausgebildet sein.The contact is attached in such a way that when the projectile is introduced into a corresponding launcher, the contact is in operative connection with a corresponding ignition device. For this purpose, the contact can be in the form of an ignition pad or an electrical contact.

Zum Einbringen in verschiedene Werfer mit unterschiedlichem Kaliber besitzt das Gehäuse eine Aufnahmemöglichkeit für einen Ausgleichsring. Die Aufnahmemöglichkeit für einen solchen Ausgleichsring ist ebenfalls am Umfang des Gehäuses vorgesehen, wobei hierzu die Führungsfinnen nicht über die gesamte Länge des Gehäuses an diesem angeordnet sind. Vielmehr ist es so, dass die Führungsfinnen am Gehäuse werferseitig angebracht sind. Dadurch, dass sie nicht durchgehend am Gehäuse angebracht sind, entsteht am gegenüberliegenden Ende des Gehäuses ein Bereich oder Führungsfinnen und stellt damit die Aufnahmemöglichkeit des Ausgleichsrings dar.The housing has a mounting option for a compensating ring so that it can be fitted to different launchers with different calibers. The possibility of receiving such a compensating ring is also provided on the circumference of the housing, with the guide fins not being arranged on the housing over its entire length for this purpose. It is rather the case that the guide fins are attached to the housing on the thrower side. Because they are not continuously attached to the housing, an area or guide fins are created at the opposite end of the housing and thus represent the possibility of receiving the compensating ring.

Der Ausgleichsring wird am Gehäuse in der dafür vorgesehenen Aufnahmemöglichkeit angebracht, vorzugsweise durch Presspassung. Denkbar sind auch Kleben oder Schrauben des Ausgleichringes. Der Ausgleichsring sorgt dafür, dass wenn der Wurfkörper ein kleineres Kaliber hat als der Werfer, dass dieser Kaliberunterschied mit dem Ausgleichsring ausgeglichen wird und somit zumindest im Bereich des Ausgleichringes der Wurfkörper auf das erforderliche Kaliber des Werfers erweitert ist.The compensating ring is attached to the housing in the receptacle provided for this purpose, preferably by means of a press fit. Gluing or screwing the compensating ring are also conceivable. The compensating ring ensures that if the throwing body has a smaller caliber than the launcher, this difference in caliber is compensated for with the compensating ring and the throwing body is thus expanded to the required caliber of the launcher, at least in the area of the compensating ring.

Zum Einbringen des Wurfkörpers in den entsprechenden Werfer sind mehrere Möglichkeiten für den adaptiven Wurfkörper möglich. So weist das Gehäuse Bolzenaufnahmen auf, in welche Bolzen eingeschraubt werden können, die für Werfer fungieren, in welchen der Wurfkörper eingeschraubt wird, beziehungsweise mittels Bajonettverschluss eingebracht wird.There are several options for the adaptive throwing body to introduce the throwing body into the corresponding launcher. Thus, the housing has bolt receptacles into which bolts can be screwed that act for throwers into which the throwing body is screwed or is inserted by means of a bayonet lock.

Weiterhin besitzt der erfindungsgemäße Wurfkörper eine umlaufende Haltenut, bevorzugterweise nahe des Endes des Gehäuses des Wurfkörpers an welchem sich der Kontakt befindet. Über diese Haltenut kann der Wurfkörper in Werfer eingebracht werden, die über eine entsprechende Haltefeder verfügen.Furthermore, the projectile body according to the invention has a circumferential retaining groove, preferably near the end of the housing of the projectile body on which the contact is located. The throwing body can be introduced into launchers that have a corresponding retaining spring via this retaining groove.

Zuletzt weist der erfindungsgemäße Wurfkörper zum Kontakt hin eine Verjüngung auf, sodass durch diese Verjüngung eine Schulter geschaffen wird. Diese Schulter wird durch die Anbringung der Führungsfinnen an dem Gehäuse verstärkt. Bei Werfersystemen mit entsprechenden Gegenfederungen können diese Federn dann sich an dieser Schulter abstützen und somit den Halt des Wurfkörpers gewährleisten.Finally, the projectile according to the invention tapers towards the contact, so that this taper creates a shoulder. This shoulder is reinforced by the attachment of the guide fins to the housing. In thrower systems with corresponding counter springs, these springs can then be supported on this shoulder and thus ensure that the projectile is held.

Bei Systemen ohne Einschraubung des Wurfkörpers, beziehungsweise ohne Bajonettverschluss, werden erfindungsgemäß die Bolzen nicht in die dafür vorgesehenen Bolzenaufnahmen geschraubt, um einer Aufnahme über Ringfedern und/oder Haltefedern, die sich an der Schulter abstützen, nicht hinderlich zu sein.In systems without screwing in the throwing body or without a bayonet lock, according to the invention the bolts are not screwed into the bolt receptacles provided for this purpose, in order not to be a hindrance to recording via ring springs and/or retaining springs that are supported on the shoulder.

Die Führungsfinnen sind nicht vollumfänglich am Gehäuse des Wurfkörpers angebracht, sondern lediglich bereichsweise, sodass mehrere Führungsfinnen vorliegen. Dadurch ergeben sich zwischen den einzelnen Führungsfinnen Ausnehmungen, die bei Ausbringung des Wurfkörpers als Druckentlastung wirken. Überschüssiger Druck kann durch diese Ausnehmungen entweichen. Durch die Ausgestaltung der Ausnehmung, nämlich in Tiefe und Breite, kann die Druckentlastung ebenfalls je nach Anwendungsfall eingestellt werden.The guide fins are not fully attached to the housing of the throwing body, but only in certain areas, so that there are several guide fins. This results in recesses between the individual guide fins, which act as a pressure relief when the projectile is deployed. Excess pressure can escape through these recesses. Due to the design of the recess, namely in depth and width, the pressure relief can also be adjusted depending on the application.

Durch die verschiedenen Kontaktierungsmöglichkeiten in den verschiedenen Werfern ergibt sich vorteilhafterweise eine universelle Kontaktierung verschiedener Werfersysteme. Diese ergibt sich dadurch, dass nicht nur die unterschiedlichen Halterungen, wie oben beschrieben, realisiert sind, sondern auch diese gemeinsam kontaktiert werden können. Dazu ist es vorteilhafterweise in einer Ausführungsform vorgesehen, dass der Kontakt positionsverschiebbar angeordnet ist. Hierdurch kann der Kontakt auch auf ein spezielles Werfersystem eingestellt werden.The various contacting options in the various launchers advantageously result in universal contacting of various launcher systems. This results from the fact that not only are the different mounts implemented, as described above, but they can also be contacted together. For this purpose, it is advantageously provided in one embodiment that the contact is arranged in a position-displaceable manner. In this way, the contact can also be adjusted to a special launcher system.

Die innere Hülle mit den Wirkladungen ist verschiebbar im Gehäuse angeordnet und zwar längsverschiebbar. Bei Initiierung des Kontaktes und somit Initiierung der Pulverkammer wird die innere Hülle aus dem Gehäuse ausgestoßen. Durch den ebenfalls initiierten Verzögerungssatz fliegt der Wurfkörper erst eine Weile auf seiner Wurfbahn, bevor dann die Wirkladungen gezündet und entsprechend ausgebracht werden.The inner shell with the active charges is slidably arranged in the housing and can be slid lengthwise. Upon initiation of contact and thus initiation of the powder chamber, the inner shell is ejected from the housing. Due to the delay set that was also initiated, the projectile flies for a while on its trajectory before the active charges are ignited and deployed accordingly.

Bevorzugterweise ist das dem Kontakt beziehungsweise Verzögerungssatz gegenüberliegende Ende der inneren Hülle mit einem Deckel verschlossen. Dadurch ist es nach Einbringung der Wirkladungen möglich, die Hülle zu verschließen. In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform wird die Befestigung des Deckels an der inneren Hülle elastisch gestaltet, um eine Shock-Absorberfunktion zum Schutz des Wurfkörpers zu gewährleisten. Sollte eine Kraft auf den Wurfkörper einwirken, insbesondere auf den Deckel, wird diese Kraft durch die Elastizität der Befestigung des Deckels aufgenommen und zumindest teilweise absorbiert. Dadurch ist der Wurfkörper geschützt, insbesondere gegenüber Fremdauslösung.The end of the inner shell opposite the contact or delay set is preferably closed with a cover. This makes it possible to close the envelope after the active charges have been introduced. In a preferred embodiment, the attachment of the cover to the inner shell is designed to be elastic in order to ensure a shock-absorbing function to protect the projectile. Should a force act on the throwing body, in particular on the cover, this force will be absorbed and at least partially absorbed by the elasticity of the attachment of the cover. This protects the throwing body, in particular against external triggering.

Die Verdämmung des Wurfkörpers, welche für den Abschuss aus einem Werfer notwendig ist, geschieht in der vorliegenden Erfindung dadurch, dass die innere Hülle über eine Abscherkante mit dem Gehäuse befestigt ist. Diese Abscherkante kann bei Einbringung der Hülle in das Gehäuse eingerastet werden und stellt eine Sollbruchstelle bereit, die bei entsprechender axial auf die Hülle wirkenden Kraft bricht und damit die Bewegung der Hülle freisetzt. Die Verdämmung funktioniert dann dadurch, dass sich nach Initiierung des Pulvers in der Pulverkammer ein Druck aufbaut, welcher in axialer Richtung auf die Hülle wirkt. Erst wenn dieser Druck groß genug ist, bricht die Abscherkante als Sollbruchstelle und gibt die Bewegung der inneren Hülle frei.In the present invention, the projectile body is dammed up, which is necessary for launching it from a launcher, in that the inner casing is fastened to the housing via a shearing edge. This shearing edge can be snapped into place when the sleeve is inserted into the housing and provides a predetermined breaking point which will break with a corresponding axial force acting on the sleeve, thus releasing the movement of the sleeve. The damming then functions in that, after the powder has been initiated, a pressure builds up in the powder chamber, which pressure acts on the casing in the axial direction. Only when this pressure is large enough, the shearing edge breaks as a predetermined breaking point and frees the movement of the inner shell.

Die benötigte axiale Kraft, die zum Bersten der Sollbruchstelle führen soll, kann durch Material beziehungsweise Wandstärke des Materials je nach Bedarf eingestellt werden, sodass unterschiedlich starke Verdämmungen gewährleistet werden.The required axial force, which should lead to the bursting of the predetermined breaking point, can be adjusted as required by the material or wall thickness of the material, so that damming of different strengths can be guaranteed.

In einer besonderen Ausführungsform weist das Verzögerungselement einen Anzündschutz auf. Dieser gewährleistet, dass das Verzögerungselement nur dann initiiert wird, wenn ein entsprechendes Signal über den Kontakt übertragen wurde. Bei Fehlsignalen und/oder anderen ungewollten Einwirkungen auf den Wurfkörper wird dadurch eine Zündung verhindert.In a special embodiment, the delay element has ignition protection. This ensures that the delay element is only initiated when a corresponding signal has been transmitted via the contact. This prevents ignition in the event of false signals and/or other unwanted effects on the projectile.

Die innere Hülle und/oder das Gehäuse können einstöckig ausgestaltet sein, um eine Fertigung zu erleichtern. Dadurch ist es möglich, verschiedene Arten von Werfersystemen mit immer dem gleichen Wurfkörper zu bestücken ungeachtet des Kalibers oder der Kontaktierung.The inner shell and/or housing may be integrally formed to facilitate manufacturing. This makes it possible to equip different types of throwing systems with always the same throwing body, regardless of the caliber or the contact.

Weitere Merkmale ergeben sich aus den beigefügten Zeichnungen.Further features emerge from the accompanying drawings.

In Fig. 1 ist die perspektivische Darstellung eines erfindungsgemäßen Wurfkörpers zu erkennen. Der Wurfkörper besitzt ein Gehäuse, welches Führungsfinnen 2 aufweist. Zwischen den Führungsfinnen 2 sind Ausnehmungen die als Druckentlastung 1 wirken.In 1 the perspective view of a projectile body according to the invention can be seen. The throwing body has a housing which has guide fins 2 . Between the guide fins 2 are recesses which act as pressure relief 1 .

Der Wurfkörper ist nahezu zylinderförmig ausgeführt, wobei die Seite mit welcher der Wurfkörper in einen dafür vorgesehenen Werfer eingebracht wird, mit einem verjüngten Zylinderbereich ausgestattet ist. Durch diesen verjüngten Zylinderbereich entsteht eine Schulter 8. Mittels dieser Schulter 8 kann eine entsprechende Feder eines Werfersystems an dieser Schulter 8 angreifen und den Wurfkörper stabilisieren.The throwing body is designed almost cylindrically, with the side with which the throwing body is introduced into a launcher provided for this purpose being equipped with a tapered cylinder area. A shoulder 8 is created by this tapered cylinder area. By means of this shoulder 8, a corresponding spring of a launcher system can act on this shoulder 8 and stabilize the projectile.

An dem verjüngten Teil des Wurfkörpers ist eine Kontakt 3 vorgesehen, mittels welcher der Wurfkörper gezündet werden kann. Dieser Kontakt 3 initiiert dann das Pulver in der in Fig. 1 nicht gezeigten Pulverkammer, sowie auch den ebenfalls nicht gezeigten Verzögerungssatz, der dann die Wirkladungen zündet.A contact 3 is provided on the tapered part of the projectile, by means of which the projectile can be ignited. This contact 3 then initiates the powder in the in 1 not shown powder chamber, as well as also not shown delay set, which then ignites the active charges.

Im verjüngten Bereich sind radial angebrachte Bolzenaufnahmen 5 zu erkennen, in welche entsprechende Verriegelungsbolzen eingebracht werden können. Diese Einbringung der Verriegelungsbolzen geschieht durch Verschrauben oder Einstecken. Hierbei können Rastverbindungen vorgesehen sein.Radially attached bolt receptacles 5 can be seen in the tapered area, into which corresponding locking bolts can be inserted. The locking bolts are introduced by screwing or inserting. Here snap-in connections can be provided.

Weiterhin weist der verjüngte Bereich des Wurfkörpers eine umlaufende Haltenut 4 auf, in welchen ebenfalls eine Haltevorrichtung eines entsprechenden Werfers in Form einer Ringfeder eingreifen kann.Furthermore, the tapered area of the projectile body has a circumferential retaining groove 4, in which a retaining device of a corresponding launcher in the form of an annular spring can also engage.

Die gegenüberliegende Seite vom Kontakt 3 aus gesehen des erfindungsgemäßen Wurfkörpers ist mit einem Deckel 10 verschlossen. Dieser Deckel 10 wird nach Einbringung der Wirkladungen in den Wurfkörper angebracht, um dem Wurfkörper beziehungsweise die innere Hülle des Wurfkörpers zu verschließen.The opposite side of the projectile body according to the invention, seen from the contact 3 , is closed with a cover 10 . This cover 10 is attached after the introduction of the active charges into the projectile in order to close the projectile or the inner shell of the projectile.

Fig. 2 zeigt einen Schnitt durch die perspektivische Darstellung der Fig. 1, wobei nun auch die Einbringung der Wirkladungen 11, 12 zu erkennen ist. Die Wirkladung 12 ist dabei geschichtet dargestellt und beide Wirkladungen werden über den Verzögerungssatz 13 gezündet. Dieser wird wiederum vom Kontakt 3 aus initiiert. 2 shows a section through the perspective view of 1 , where now the introduction of the active charges 11, 12 can be seen. The active charge 12 is shown in layers and both active charges are ignited via the delay set 13 . This in turn is initiated from contact 3.

Der Deckel 10 ist so auf den Wurfkörper beziehungsweise die innere Hülle aufgebracht, dass eine Shock- Absorbierung 17 gewährleistet wird. Dazu ist der Deckel 10 beziehungsweise die Befestigung des Deckels 10 elastisch ausgeführt. Wird nun ein Fremddruck auf den Wurfkörper ausgeübt, wird dieser durch die elastische Verbindung des Deckels absorbiert und schützt somit den Wurfkörper.The cover 10 is applied to the projectile body or the inner shell in such a way that shock absorption 17 is ensured. For this purpose, the cover 10 or the attachment of the cover 10 is designed to be elastic. If an external pressure is now exerted on the throwing body, this is absorbed by the elastic connection of the cover and thus protects the throwing body.

In Fig.3 ist die Nahaufnahme des verjüngen Bereichs des erfindungsgemäßen Wurfkörpers zu erkennen und somit nun auch die Pulverkammer 15. Dieser wird vom Kontakt 3 initiiert und baut einen Druck in der Pulverkammer 15 durch den Abbrand des Pulvers auf.In Fig.3 the close-up of the tapered area of the projectile body according to the invention can be seen and thus now also the powder chamber 15. This is initiated by the contact 3 and builds up pressure in the powder chamber 15 as a result of the powder burning off.

In den Wurfkörper eingebracht ist eine innere Hülle, welche mittels einer Abscherkante 14 in das Gehäuse des Wurfkörpers eingerastet ist. Diese Abscherkante 14 wirkt als Verdämmung des Wurfkörpers und sorgt dafür, dass eine Sollbruchstelle generiert wird. Wird durch Abbrand des Pulvers in der Pulverkammer 15 ein genügend großer Druck hierin aufgebaut, bricht die Sollbruchstelle und die innere Hülle wird freigegeben, sodass die innere Hülle mit den Wirkladungen nach rechts aus den Fig. 2 und 3 herausgeworfen wird.Introduced into the projectile body is an inner shell which is snapped into the housing of the projectile body by means of a shearing edge 14 . This shearing edge 14 acts as a dam for the throwing body and ensures that a predetermined breaking point is generated. If a sufficiently large pressure is built up in the powder chamber 15 by burning off the powder, the predetermined breaking point breaks and the inner shell is released, so that the inner shell with the active charges escapes to the right Figures 2 and 3 is thrown out.

Fig. 4 zeigt die gleichen Merkmale der Fig. 1, wobei diesmal entsprechende Verriegelungsbolzen 6 in die dafür vorgesehenen Bolzenaufnahmen eingebracht sind. Diese Verriegelungsbolzen 6 dienen zur Verriegelung in bestimmten Werfersystemen und können dafür optional angebracht werden. Mittels der Verriegelung ist es dann möglich, den Wurfkörper in einen entsprechenden Werfer einzuschrauben oder in einen entsprechenden Werfer mit Bajonettverschluss einzubringen. 4 shows the same characteristics of 1 , This time corresponding locking bolts 6 are introduced into the bolt receptacles provided for this purpose. These locking bolts 6 are used for locking in certain turret systems and can be attached as an option. By means of the locking, it is then possible to screw the throwing body into a corresponding launcher or to introduce it into a corresponding launcher with a bayonet lock.

In Fig. 5 hingegen ist die Anbringung eines Ausgleichsringes 7 gezeigt. Dieser wird in dem Bereich des Gehäuses des Wurfkörpers angebracht, in den sich die Führungsfinnen 2 nicht erstrecken. Der Ausgleichsring 7 sorgt für den Kaliberausgleich zwischen dem erfindungsgemäßen Wurfkörper und dem verwendeten Werfer. Ist der Wurfkörper mit einem geringeren Kaliber als die des Werfers ausgestattet, gleicht dieser Ausgleichsring 7 die Differenz von Wurfkörper und Werfer aus, sodass der erfindungsgemäße Wurfkörper fest und nur in axialer Richtung beweglich im Werfer gehalten wird.In figure 5 however, the attachment of a compensating ring 7 is shown. This is attached in the area of the housing of the throwing body into which the guide fins 2 do not extend. The compensating ring 7 ensures the caliber compensation between the projectile body according to the invention and the launcher used. If the throwing body has a smaller caliber than that of the launcher, this compensating ring 7 compensates for the difference between the throwing body and the launcher, so that the throwing body according to the invention is held firmly in the launcher and can only be moved in the axial direction.

In Fig. 6 ist ein erfindungsgemäßes Gehäuse eines Wurfkörpers gezeigt, allerdings ohne eingebrachte innere Hülle. Somit ist der Hohlraum 9 des Gehäuses zu sehen. Ebenso ist der verjüngte Bereich des Gehäuses mit der Pulverkammer 15 und dem Verzögerungssatz 13 zu erkennen, auch der Kontakt 3 zum Zünden der beiden vorgenannten ist zu erkennen. In der Fig. 6 sind ebenfalls eingebrachte Verriegelungsbolzen 6 gezeigt.In 6 a housing according to the invention of a throwing body is shown, but without the inner shell introduced. Thus, the cavity 9 of the housing can be seen. The tapered area of the housing with the powder chamber 15 and the delay unit 13 can also be seen, and the contact 3 for igniting the two aforementioned can also be seen. In the 6 introduced locking bolts 6 are also shown.

In Ergänzung zu Fig. 6 zeigt Fig. 7 dann die innere Hülle 16 des erfindungsgemäßen Wurfkörpers mit den Wirkladungen 11 und 12. Wie gezeigt wird, ist die vorliegende Erfindung nicht auf zwei Wirkladungen beschränkt, auch mehrere sind möglich. Wie gezeigt wird, reicht der Verzögerungssatz 13 bis in die innere Hülle 16 hinein, um die Wirkladungen 11, 12 zünden zu können. Gegenüberliegend des Verzögerungssatzes 13 ist die innere Hülle 16 mit einem Deckel 10 abgeschlossen.In addition to 6 indicates 7 then the inner shell 16 of the projectile according to the invention with the active charges 11 and 12. As shown, the present invention is not limited to two active charges, several are also possible. As shown, the delay charge 13 extends into the inner shell 16 in order to be able to ignite the active charges 11, 12. Opposite the delay set 13, the inner shell 16 is closed off with a cover 10.

Die vorliegende Erfindung ist auf die vorgenannten Merkmale beschränkt, vielmehr sind weitere Ausführungen denkbar. So könnten die Führungsfinnen sich auch über die gesamte Länge des Gehäuses erstrecken, abzüglich des verjüngten Bereiches. Dementsprechend wird dann der Ausgleichsring auf die Finnen aufgebracht, anstatt auf dem Bereich der Aufnahmemöglichkeit in dem sich die Finnen nicht befinden.The present invention is limited to the aforesaid features, but further embodiments are conceivable. The guide fins could also extend over the entire length of the housing, minus the tapered area. Accordingly, the compensating ring is then applied to the fins instead of to the area of the accommodation option in which the fins are not located.

Dadurch, dass nunmehr nur noch einziger Wurfkörper für mehrere Arten der Kontaktierung von Werfern bereitgestellt werden muss, ist eine erhebliche Vereinfachung bei der Produktion der Wurfkörper zu erkennen. Ebenso kann der Wurfkörper universell kontaktiert werden, sodass ein adaptiver Wurfkörper entsteht.Due to the fact that now only a single throwing body has to be provided for several types of contacting of launchers, a considerable simplification in the production of the throwing bodies can be seen. Likewise, the throwing body can be contacted universally, so that an adaptive throwing body is created.
