Definitions

  • the invention relates to a launch apparatus.
  • a known launch device comprises one or more pipes or mortar tubes, inside which a respective projectile is placed to be launched.
  • Each projectile consists of a shell that contains the material to be launched, of a charge of launch powders made up- together with the shell in a wrapping that is normally of paper.
  • the launch of a projectile occurs by igniting the charge of launch powders that explode and thus supply the propulsive force for the shell; ignition of the launch powders occurs by means of electric igniters actuated by a command.
  • Each electric igniter comprises a tubular body at an end of which a head for ignition by incandescence is provided that is supplied with a pair of wires that extends inside and beyond the tubular body for a suitable length to reach a power plant provided with pairs of connecting terminals.
  • the ignition head of the electric igniter is generally inserted directly into the charge of launch powders of a projectile during assembly of- the latter or it is connected to a fuse that, in turn, is inserted into the charge of launch powders already during assembly of the projectile.
  • the ignition head ignites, directly igniting in the first case the launch powders and in the second case the fuse, which in turn ignites the latter.
  • Known launch devices generally comprise a great number of launch tubes that are combined together, whether they are used for example to remove birds from a zone in which they cannot be or to launch fireworks .
  • An example of zones in which birds cannot be, are airports because, as is known, if birds are accidentally sucked up inside the engines of aircraft, especially when the latter are subjected to maximum stress during the take-off phase, the engines may suddenly lose power and the aeroplane may risk having to abort the task or even risk falling to the ground.
  • the launch devices must be secure, both when they are used and when they are transported.
  • the preparation, positioning and activation of the launch devices require the intervention of a considerable number of operators who have to load the projectiles into the launch devices and connect the latter with the power plants, which are provided with terminals connecting each pair of wires to each electric igniter.
  • the power plant is, in turn, connected to a control apparatus that is manoeuvrable by an operator, by operating which the launches of the projectiles of each launch apparatus are actuated.
  • Actuation of the launch devices thus requires the drawing up and positioning of a large number of electric wires.
  • a first drawback is that when the launch devices are numerous to cover a vast operating zone from which it is necessary to remove birds, the mass of electric wires to handle and to arrange for the connections between the igniters and the power plants becomes significant and requires, as already said, the intervention or more than one operator assigned to this work: this adversely affects the total costs of use of the known launch devices.
  • Another drawback is that the launch devices are generally placed over long distances, reaching, in the case of take-off and landing runways of airports, several kilometres: the lengths of connecting wires are therefore proportionally great and their positioning requires fatiguing and repeated displacements of operators between the power plants and the different launch devices.
  • Another drawback is that if the number of wires necessary for the connections between the electric igniters and the control panels is high, and if the distances to be covered are significant, the cost of the igniters and of the wires becomes noticeable.
  • known launch devices are constructed, as said previously, with specific structural features, that are determined by the uses for which they are intended and are not able to launch projectiles that are different from those for which they were constructed.
  • a further drawback is that known launch devices do not enable it to be ascertained with certainty whether the launch of a projectile occurred correctly without proceeding to a direct inspection of the launch device, with serious danger for those performing this operation if a projectile has remained inside a launch device although the launch command has been given.
  • Another drawback is that by using known launch devices, it is very difficult to make planned launch sequences because in order to obtain these sequences it is necessary to set up power plants equipped with a large number of pairs of terminals for attaching all the terminal ends of numerous pairs of wires that come from all the igniters of all the launch devices used.
  • Another drawback is that in order to be able to be launched with known launch devices, the projectiles have to be prepared in a complete manner and already ready to be launched, i.e.
  • the object of the invention is to improve the state of the art.
  • An object of the invention is to make a launch apparatus that is usable for many uses without requiring any structural adaptation.
  • Another object of the invention is to make a launch apparatus that does not require connections by means of wires between projectiles and power plants.
  • a further object of the invention is to make a launch apparatus that enables launches to be made according to preset or presettable sequences.
  • a further object of the invention is to make a launch apparatus that enables it to be ascertained easily and without risk to operators whether the launch of a projectile has occurred correctly.
  • Another object of the invention is to make a launch apparatus that enables it to be remotely actuated, individually or with other models of the same type, using a single control unit, e.g. a computer.
  • Another object of the invention is to make a launch apparatus that can operate with projectiles that are actuatable only at the moment of the launch, whilst during their assembly and transport, they can remain substantially inert, considerably increasing the safety of operators.
  • an apparatus comprising: loading means for loading projectiles for civilian use, in particular for fireworks displays, to be launched by propellant means, characterised in that communicating with said loading means there is provided housing means for receiving capsule means containing actuating means of said propellant means.
  • the apparatus thus enables projectiles intended for civilian and different use to be launched with a single apparatus following, when required, preset launch sequences; the apparatus furthermore enables projectiles to be launched for civilian use to be transported that are substantially inert until the moment of launch.
  • the apparatus can furthermore be remote-controlled without cable connections having to be made by electric igniters and connecting power plants.

  • an additional layer 308 of launch powder can be placed between the explosive capsule 9 and the projectile 2.
  • the solenoid 114 is actuatable by means of signals coming from a wireless emitter 309 and received by a command element 15 comprising, for example, an electronic card 115 connected to the latter; as visible in Figure 3, the emitter 309 can be controlled by a device that is in itself known, such as, for example, computer “C” or a camera “T” or also a photocell “F”, to emit signals that are received by the solenoid 114, which creates a magnetic field such as to move the striker member 13 to the capsule 9 to hit it and make it explode.
  • the striker member 13 when it moves towards the capsule 9 to hit it, axially crosses the solenoid 114 and is contrasted in its movement by an elastic return spring 313 that is interposed between the solenoid 114 and an abutment 314 mounted on the striker member 13; in the case illustrated, the spring 313 is wound around an end of the striker member 13, turned in an opposite direction to the capsule 9.
