DETAILED EXPLANATION OF CERTAIN EXECUTION EXAMPLES

According to several implementation examples, the military item comprises a base, a cover to be attached to the base, and a pressure control unit. The base defines several parallel

N square cartridge slots for placing cartridges in them. Pressure control unit

N sikko comprises a corresponding number of channels in terms of cartridge nests, which are

O jested to direct the pressure chamber between the cover and the pressure control unit to the

N by leaving the caused increased pressure and temperature towards the cartridge cases so that the pressure and temperature are applied to the > balls in the sockets of the cartridges, igniting the cartridges, causing the cartridges' bullets to exit the cartridges

N poles in the opposite direction to the pressure control unit.

S The walls of the channels defined by the pressure control unit can be essentially straight, forming cylindrical channels. Alternatively, the walls of the channels can be shaped, for example, so that the channels are narrower in the middle than at the ends. Still alternatively, the channels can be larger at their first ends than at their opposite ends, thus forming truncated conical channels.

The pressure control unit can be a plate-like body, where the mentioned channels are —(holes extending through the plate-like body, and which pressure control unit can be placed or placed between the cover and the base.

The military item can also comprise striker elements, such as shotguns, which are arranged to move in said channels under the effect of the increased pressure caused in said pressure seat towards the pressure seats, so that the striker elements hit the teddies on the bases of the cartridge cases, igniting the cartridges.

A detonator device can be or has been arranged in the pressure vessel, with which said detonation can be carried out.

According to some embodiments, the cover defines a place, such as an additional cartridge case, for a charge, which said place is adapted so that — when operating, the igniter device ignites the charge arranged in the place, causing said detonation. On the other hand, an opening can be arranged in the wall part of the cover, through which an igniter device can be arranged in the pressure chamber.

In addition, the cover can be arranged to be attached to the base so that the pressure control unit is locked between the cover and the base, in which case the pressure control unit works — as a support for the cartridges in the cartridge cases, while locking them in the cartridge cases.

The number of cartridge nests can be at least two, preferably at least four, more preferably at least six or even at least ten, such as

N ten or more than ten.

N 30 — Figures 2A and 2B show the military accessory 10 in side and cross-sectional view.

The cartridges can be loaded into the cartridge nests 4a or holes 4a in the bottom 4 of the accessory 10, and a pressure control unit 3, such as a shot plate, can be placed on top of the cartridges. A cartridge placed in one cartridge slot 4a is shown in dashed lines in Fig. 2B. Inside the openings 3a of the shot plate there are striker elements 2, such as shots or — pins, whose purpose is to act as strikers, or as spikes/pins. After this, the accessory 10 is closed by screwing the cover 1 onto the base 4, where the thread 4b and possibly also the seal 5 can be located to ensure water tightness. Cover 1 locks the edges of the pressure control unit 3, such as a shot plate. — As can be seen from Figures 1 and 2B, the cross-sectional area defined by the individual channel 3a can be smaller than the cross-sectional area of the corresponding cartridge case 4a or the cross-sectional area defined by the cartridge case in the corresponding cartridge case 4a. Even more advantageously, the cross-sectional area defined by the individual channel 3a can be smaller than the cross-sectional area defined by the bump on the base of the cartridge case. The cross-sectional area of the individual channel 3a can be less than half or even less than a quarter of the cross-sectional area defined by the cartridge case. In this case, the pressure and temperature applied to the base of the socket via channel 3a advantageously affect only a part of the cross-sectional area defined by the pacifier, for example in the middle of the pacifier. — The military accessory 10 can advantageously be arranged in such a way that when the pressure control unit 3 is placed in place, the channels 3a are positioned essentially concentrically with respect to the balls of the cartridges.

The cover 1 is hollow, forming a pressure chamber 1b, which is illustrated in Figure 2B with the reference number 1b. The opening 1a on the edge of cover 1 can be

N 25 — set the igniter as either an electric fuse, a fuse fuse or an explosive fuse, which

With the help of N, the cartridges placed in accessory 10 can be ignited. Opening 1a is a common

O in the pressure vessel 1b. To ensure water tightness in point 1a, it is possible

N uses a gasket, as well as in relation to the bottom pressure control unit 3 opposite

E in the section on the left side, where the seal 6 could have been placed.

S 30 — Alternatively, the military accessory 10 can be made without the cover 1

D opening 1a, in which case the cover 1 is placed firmly in the pressure chamber 1b inside

S electronic igniter, like an electronic teddy bear, for remote triggering. The pressure caused by the detonator directs the pressure through the channels of the pressure control unit 3 and, optionally, additionally strikes the striker elements 2, such as the shots in the shot plate 2,

to the teddies in the cartridge holder and as a result the cartridges ignite. In addition, the pressure and heat caused by the lighters contribute to the ignition of the teddies in the cartridges.

The military accessory 10 can be manufactured for different caliber cartridges and the number of cartridges can be increased by changing the shape of the accessory 10. By changing the shape and size of the accessory 10, the impact force and the direction of the impact can be affected.

According to some examples, the military accessory 10 is adapted for 5.56, 7.62 or 9 millimeter caliber cartridges. The accessory 10 can also be fitted with cartridges of other calibers and also for cartridges of different lengths. — The military item 10 can be used individually or several items 10 can be detonated simultaneously using a common ignition technique.

The military accessory 10 is preferably placed against a solid background or surface, e.g. its cover 1, in which case it is safe for the user, because force and power, such as bullets, are then directed in the desired direction. — The military accessory 10 is preferably waterproof, so it can be used under ice, in water, sand or snow.

The pressure control unit 3, such as a shot plate, can be adapted, e.g. shaped (as shown in Figure 1), so that it is positioned in its correct place easily and securely. Thus, the accessory 10 can also be assembled in the dark or by feeling.

The unfired military accessory 10 can also be disassembled and returned to its initial state for reloading. Cartridges are still available al-

N for a convex purpose, i.e. as a gun cartridge.

OF

5 The military accessory 10 can be loaded with cartridges in advance, as it is impact-proof

N 25 linen. Impact safety is based on the fact that impact elements 2, e.g. shotguns or ta-

I pit, is mounted on the pressure control unit 3 with an elastic mass. Accessory 10 is

E ready for use only when the igniter/lighting device is installed to produce pressure

S into socket 1b when using a lighter/lighter.

N Military equipment 10 can be made light. In order to achieve lightness,

N 30 —vike 10 can be made of light materials, such as, for example, aluminum or other pressure-resistant light material.

Figures 3A-3C show some examples of the pressure control unit 3, which the military accessory 10 can comprise. Figure 3A shows the pressure control unit 3, whose channel 3a is straight, as already shown above. The channels 3a can therefore be substantially cylindrical. Figure 3B alternatively shows channels 3a, the walls of which are shaped in such a way that the channels 3a are narrower in the middle than at the ends. The pressure control units 3 according to Figures 3A and 3B are symmetrical with respect to their channels 3a, so that, according to some embodiments, the pressure control unit 3 can be placed in the device either way. Figure 3C shows an alternative way of implementing the pressure control unit 3. The channels of the pressure control unit 3 in question are smaller at one end than at the opposite end. According to some examples, the channels 3 are shaped like a truncated cone.

Figures 4A and 4B show some examples of the pressure control unit 3, which the military accessory 10 can comprise. As can be seen from Fig. 4A and 4B, the channels 3 are similar to those shown in Figs. 3A and 3B, but the channels 3 are additionally arranged with striker elements 2, such as shots or pins. The striker elements 3 have been arranged in the channels 3a with the help of, for example, elastic mass, so they remain in the channels, even if the pressure control unit 3 and/or the accessory 10 are turned to different positions. The elastic mass enables the striker elements 2 to move, — when they are exposed to the increased pressure and temperature caused by detonating the pressure chamber 1b.

According to several embodiments of the invention, the military accessory 10 can be fixed against a support, for example, from its cover 1, especially from the outer surface opposite to the bottom 4 of the cover 1. Claim 1 may have been organized by one or more

N 25 projections with which the military accessory 10 can be attached to the support, for example

S for wood, stone or wall structure. The military accessory 10 can be attached to the projection or projections with, for example, one or more nails or screws. In addition = or alternatively, the military accessory 10 can be attached to the support by its projections rau-

A with a strap or strap that can be used to hang the accessory 10 or which

E 30 — can, for example, go around a tree or a post.

N The figures and the related explanation are only intended to illustrate the idea of the invention a. It is clear to a person skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the above-described

N made with the help of some performance examples, but many modifications and different applications of the invention are possible within the scope of the inventive idea defined by the patent claims presented below.
