Abstract

The cartridge has a casing (1) and a series of charges (2) traversed by an ignition cord (16). Between the combustible charges and the end wall (6) of the casing, there is a spacer (7) which defines a chamber between the end wall and the closest charge. In this chamber, and also in the chamber delimited by the cover (3), once combustion of the charges has been initiated, the combustion gases are progressively stored until sufficient pressure is achieved to cause detachment of the cover and expulsion of the charges outside the casing. The cartridge comprises a casing housing a series of charges (2) of combustible, smoke-generating, tear-generating or signaling mixture, which have a coaxial passage (15) through which an ignition cord (16) passes. The casing is closed by a detachable cover (3) which delimits an internal chamber and carries a fuse (18) whose activation gives rise to ignition of the cord and thereby the ignition of the charges.

Description

Mejoras en la patente nº 200101151, relativa a "Artificio con carga combustible de efectos fumígenos, lacrimógenos o de señalización".Improvements in Patent No. 200101151, relating to "Artificial with fuel loading of fumigant effects, tear or signaling. "

La presente invención se refiere a unas mejoras introducidas en el artificio objeto de la patente 200102151, que puede ser utilizado como artificio antidisturbios o como medio de señalización y que puede ser lanzado a mano o con arma de fuego.The present invention relates to improvements introduced in the device object of patent 200102151, which It can be used as riot control or as a means of signaling and that can be launched by hand or with a weapon fire.

El artificio descrito en la solicitud de patente 200102151 comprende una carcasa que aloja una serie de cargas de mezcla combustible, con características fumígenas, lacrimógenas o de señalización, cuyas cargas van dotadas de un pasaje coaxial a través del que pasa una mecha de encendido. La carcasa se cierra mediante una tapa separable que delimita una cámara interna y es portadora de una espoleta cuya activación provoca el encendido de la mecha y a través de ésta en encendido de las cargas. Entre las cargas combustibles y el fondo de la carcasa va dispuesto un distanciador que define una cámara entre dicho fondo y la carga mas próxima. Una vez que se inicia la combustión de las cargas, en la cámara definida por el distanciador y en la cámara delimitada por la tapa se almacenan progresivamente los gases de combustión, hasta alcanzar la presión suficiente para provocar la separación de la tapa y la expulsión de las cargas fuera de la carcasa.The artifice described in the patent application 200102151 comprises a housing that houses a series of loads of fuel mixture, with fumigant, tear or signaling, whose loads are provided with a coaxial passage to through which passes a wick of ignition. The housing closes by a separable lid that delimits an internal chamber and is bearer of a fuze whose activation causes the ignition of the wick and through it on ignition of the charges. Between the combustible loads and the bottom of the housing is arranged a spacer that defines a camera between said bottom and the load more next. Once the combustion of the charges begins, in the chamber defined by the spacer and in the chamber delimited by the flue gas is stored progressively, until reach sufficient pressure to cause separation of the cover and ejection of loads out of the housing.

La existencia de la cámara delimitada por el separador asegura que las cargas son lanzadas fuera de la carcasa, después de abierta ésta.The existence of the chamber delimited by the separator ensures that loads are thrown out of the housing, After opening this one.

El sistema de encendido, a partir de la espoleta, está calculado de modo que la ignición de las cargas y producción de gases de combustión suficientes para provocar la apertura de la carcasa y expulsión de dichas cargas, tenga lugar después de que el artificio ha sido lanzado y se encuentra a una cierta altura. Con ello se asegura que las cargas, al ser expulsadas de la carcasa, se dispersen y permitan lograr una mayor efectividad en la acción del artificio.The ignition system, from the fuze, is calculated so that the ignition of the charges and production of combustion gases sufficient to cause opening of the housing and expulsion of said loads, take place after the artifice has been launched and is at a certain height This ensures that the charges, when expelled of the housing, disperse and allow to achieve greater effectiveness in the action of artifice.

Sin embargo, tan pronto como las cargas son expulsadas de la carcasa, se inicia su caída libre, alcanzando pronto el suelo.However, as soon as the charges are expelled from the housing, its free fall begins, reaching Soon the ground.

En determinadas aplicaciones, sin embargo, es deseable retrasar la caída de las cargas, aumentando el tiempo que éstas se encuentran en el aire, por ejemplo para lograr un mayor alcance o dispersión de las cargas, en el caso de que el efecto de las mismas sea fumígeno o lacrimógeno, o bien aumentar su efectividad, en el caso de cargas de señalización.In certain applications, however, it is desirable to delay the fall of loads, increasing the time that these are in the air, for example to achieve greater scope or dispersion of charges, in the event that the effect of they are either smoke or tear, or increase their effectiveness, in the case of signaling loads.

Para lograr el fin expuesto se conecta o relaciona cada una de las cargas contenidas en la carcasa con un paracaídas que se encuentra dentro de la carcasa y se abre en el momento en que la carga es expulsada al exterior de la misma, actuando como elemento de frenado en la caída de la carga, para aumentar su tiempo de permanencia en el aire.To achieve the exposed end connect or relates each of the loads contained in the housing with a parachute that is inside the housing and opens in the moment in which the load is expelled outside it, acting as a braking element in the load drop, to Increase your time spent in the air.

De acuerdo con la presente invención, el separador que va dispuesto entre el fondo de la carcasa y las cargas combustibles está constituido por una pared cilíndrica que discurre próxima a la pared de la carcasa y que delimita un espacio en el que se alojan uno o mas paracaídas, tanto como cargas combustibles aloje la carcasa, estando cada uno de dichos paracaídas conectado a la caja de una de las cargas combustibles.In accordance with the present invention, the separator that is arranged between the bottom of the housing and the combustible charges consists of a cylindrical wall that runs next to the wall of the housing and that delimits a space in which one or more parachutes are housed, as well as loads fuels housing the housing, each of said being parachute connected to the box of one of the loads fuels

La pared cilíndrica apoya por uno de sus bordes en el fondo de la carcasa, mientras que sobre el borde opuesto apoya la carga mas interna.The cylindrical wall supports one of its edges at the bottom of the case, while on the opposite edge It supports the innermost load.

En el espacio limitado por la pared cilíndrica antes comentada puede alojarse un solo paracaídas, incluyendo el artificio, dentro de la carcasa del mismo, una sola carga. La caja de esta carcasa dispone en la superficie externa del fondo de una anilla a la que se conecta el paracaídas.In the space limited by the cylindrical wall One parachute can be accommodated before, including the artifice, within its casing, a single load. Box of this housing has on the outer surface of the bottom of a ring to which the parachute is connected.

Las características y ventajas de la invención podrán comprenderse mejor con la siguiente descripción hecha con referencia al dibujo adjunto, en el cual se muestra, en sección diametral, un ejemplo de realización no limitativo.The characteristics and advantages of the invention can be better understood with the following description made with reference to the attached drawing, in which it is shown, in section diametral, an example of non-limiting realization.

El artificio mostrado en la figura 1 comprende una carcasa 1 de configuración cilíndrica, por ejemplo a base de aluminio o plástico, en la que se aloja en el ejemplo representado una sola carga combustible 2, que puede tener efectos fumígenos, lacrimógenos o de señalización. Esta carcasa 1 se cierra mediante una tapa 3 que incluye una pared o faldón cilíndrico 4 que se introduce ajustadamente dentro de la pared de la carcasa 1 y apoya sobre la carga 2.The artifice shown in Figure 1 comprises a housing 1 of cylindrical configuration, for example based on aluminum or plastic, which is housed in the example shown a single fuel load 2, which can have smoking effects, tear or signaling. This housing 1 is closed by a cover 3 that includes a cylindrical wall or skirt 4 that is fit tightly into the wall of the housing 1 and supports over load 2.

La carga 2, como es usual en este tipo de artificios, puede estar constituida por una caja compuesta por un cuerpo inferior 5 y un cuerpo superior o tapa 7, ambos por ejemplo con paredes roscadas, en el que se aloja la materia combustible.Load 2, as usual in this type of artifice, can be constituted by a box composed of a lower body 5 and an upper body or lid 7, both for example with threaded walls, in which the matter is housed fuel.

Según es conocido en este tipo de artificios, la tapa 3 es portadora de una espoleta 8, que puede consistir en una espoleta de inercia o de cualquier otro tipo de constitución en sí conocida. En este caso comprende un percutor 9 que al desplazarse hacia el interior golpea contra un pistón 10 que provoca el encendido de la mecha 11 que alcanza la mezcla combustible de la carga 2 a través de un orificio o abertura que presenta el fondo de la tapa 2 de la caja de dicha carga.As is known in this type of artifice, the cover 3 is a carrier of a fuze 8, which may consist of a fuze of inertia or any other type of constitution itself known. In this case it includes a firing pin 9 that when moving inwards it hits a piston 10 that causes the ignition of the wick 11 that reaches the fuel mixture of the load 2 through a hole or opening that has the bottom of the cover 2 of the cargo box.

El percutor 9 va impulsado constantemente hacia su posición mas externa mediante un resorte 12 y además queda asegurado contra cualquier desplazamiento accidental hacia el interior mediante un pasador 13 fácilmente rompible. Cuando el artificio está destinado a ser lanzado a mano, este pasador 13 puede ser de mayor robustez, requiriendo su extracción antes de su lanzamiento. El artificio es portador además de un capuchón 14 que puede ir fijado a la tapa 3 mediante rosca y sirve como elemento protector de la espoleta.The firing pin 9 is constantly driven towards its outermost position by means of a spring 12 and also remains secured against any accidental displacement towards the inside by an easily breakable pin 13. When he Artifice is intended to be thrown by hand, this pin 13 it can be more robust, requiring its extraction before its launching. The device is a carrier in addition to a cap 14 that It can be fixed to the cover 3 by thread and serves as an element fuze protector.

En el ejemplo representado en el dibujo el artificio incluye una sola carga 2 entre la cual y el fondo de la carcasa 1 va dispuesto un separador 15 que consiste en una pared cilíndrica, por ejemplo a base de material plástico, de diámetro externo igual o ligeramente menor que el interno de la carcasa 1. Esta pared cilíndrica sirve como elemento de apoyo de la caja de la carga 2 y define, entre dicha carga y el fondo de la carcasa, una cámara 16. También entre la tapa 3 y la carga 2 se limita una cámara 17.In the example represented in the drawing the artifice includes a single charge 2 between which and the bottom of the housing 1 is arranged a separator 15 consisting of a wall cylindrical, for example based on plastic material, in diameter external equal or slightly smaller than the internal of the housing 1. This cylindrical wall serves as a support element of the box load 2 and defines, between said load and the bottom of the housing, a chamber 16. Also between the cover 3 and the load 2 a camera 17.

Cuando se inicia la combustión de la carga 2, los gases producidos se van almacenando progresivamente en las cámaras 16 y 17 hasta que se alcanza la presión suficiente para separar la tapa 3 y lanzar la carga o cargas 2 fuera de la carcasa 1.When the combustion of charge 2 begins, the gases produced are gradually stored in the chambers 16 and 17 until sufficient pressure is reached to separate the cover 3 and throw the load or loads 2 out of the housing one.

En la cámara 16, delimitada por la pared cilíndrica 15, se aloja un paracaídas 18 que va relacionado o conectado con la carga 2, por ejemplo mediante un aro 19 fijado a una anilla o gancho 20 que sobresale exteriormente del fondo del cuerpo 6 de la caja de la carga 2.In chamber 16, delimited by the wall cylindrical 15, a parachute 18 is housed that is related or connected to load 2, for example by means of a ring 19 fixed to a ring or hook 20 protruding externally from the bottom of the body 6 of the cargo box 2.

En el caso de que la carcasa 1 alojara dos o mas cargas, la cámara 16 estaría dimensionada para alojar otros tantos paracaídas 18, cada uno de los cuales iría conectado a una carga.In the case that the housing 1 accommodates two or more loads, chamber 16 would be sized to accommodate as many parachute 18, each of which would be connected to a load.

Con la constitución expuesta, cuando el artificio es lanzado, ya sea a mano o con arma de fuego, el percutor 9 actúa sobre el pistón 10 provocando el encendido de la mecha 11, la cual enciende la mezcla combustible de la carga o cargas 2. Los gases que se producen en el inicio de la combustión llenan las cámaras 16 y 17, hasta que se alcanza la presión suficiente para que la tapa 3 sea separada y la carga 2 expulsada al exterior de la carcasa 1. En este momento se producirá la apertura del paracaídas 18, el cual retrasará la caída de dicha carga, manteniéndola en el aire el tiempo suficiente para aumentar su efecto.With the constitution exposed, when the artifice is launched, either by hand or with a firearm, the firing pin 9 acts on the piston 10 causing the ignition of the wick 11, which ignites the fuel mixture of the load or loads 2. The gases produced at the beginning of combustion fill chambers 16 and 17, until the pressure is reached enough for the lid 3 to be separated and the load 2 ejected outside the housing 1. At this time the parachute opening 18, which will delay the fall of said load, keeping it in the air long enough to increase its effect

En el ejemplo representado la carcasa 1 va dotada de un culote 21.In the example shown, the housing 1 goes endowed with a shorts 21.
