Abstract

The invention relates to a stun grenade (10) and particularly to the possibility of individual adjustment and situation-dependent adaptation of the number of active masses (7) in situ. The aim of the invention is to achieve the possibility of individual adjustment. To this end, a switch mechanism (11) is built into the stun grenade (10), enabling the simultaneous activation of different chambers (6) inside the stun grenade (10) in order to adjust the effect. The switch mechanism (11) is formed by a tube and peripherally integrated boreholes (13) and grooves (14). A different number of the chambers (6) in the stun grenade (10) is activated by the switch mechanism (11), thereby increasing or decreasing the active power.

Description

BESCHREIBUNG  DESCRIPTION
Irritationskörper mit Mitteln zur Einstellung einer Wirkleistung Irritating body with means for adjusting an active power
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Irritationskörper, insbesondere auf die Möglichkeit einer individuellen Einstellmöglichkeit und situationsabhängigen bzw. situationsbedingten Anpassung der Anzahl der Wirkmassen vor Ort. Unter Wirkmassen werden Knall, Blitz, Geräusche (z.B. Pfeifsignal) etc., verstanden, d.h., sogenannte Schockeffekte. Des Weiteren beschäftigt sich die Erfindung mit einer Sicherung gegen unabsichtliches Auslösen des Irritationskörpers. The invention relates to an irritation body, in particular to the possibility of an individual adjustment and situation-dependent or situational adjustment of the number of effective masses on site. By effective masses is meant bang, flash, sounds (e.g., whistle signal), etc., i.e., so-called shock effects. Furthermore, the invention is concerned with a safeguard against unintentional triggering of the irritation body.
Irritationskörper dieser Art dienen zur nicht letalen Abwehr und Verteidigung gegen Personen und werden auch zur Unterstützung bei Polizeieinsätzen eingesetzt. Sie ähneln Handgranaten, die in der Regel manuell gezündet und danach weggeworfen werden, jedoch keine Fragmente bilden sollten. Irritation bodies of this type are used for non-lethal defense and defense against persons and are also used to assist in police operations. They resemble hand grenades, which are usually ignited manually and then discarded, but should not form fragments.
Die DE 199 44 486 C2 offenbart einen Irritationskörper zum manuellen Zünden und Fortschleudern mit einem zylindrischen Behälter, der mehrere parallel zur Mittelachse des Behälters verlaufende Abteile aufweist, die Effektladungen aufnehmen können. Mit einer manuell betätigbaren Zündeinrichtung an einer Seite des zylindrischen Behälters erfolgt das Zünden der Effektladungen. Nach dem Zünden werden nacheinander alle Effektladungen in dem Behälter in zeitlicher Abfolge, d.h., zeitversetzt, gezündet und radial nach außen abgefeuert. Die in diesem Dokument zitierte DE 92 13 375 U1 beschreibt einen Irritationskörper, der für Verzögerungszeiten in den Abteilen Ladungsbehälter zur Aufnahme der jeweiligen Verzögerungs- und Effektladung vorsieht. Durch diese Verzögerungsladungen mit unterschiedlichen Verzögerungszeiten werden durch diese anschließend die Effektladungen sequenziell gezündet. DE 199 44 486 C2 discloses an irritation body for manual ignition and spin-off with a cylindrical container having a plurality of parallel to the central axis of the container extending compartments that can accommodate effect charges. With a manually actuated ignition device on one side of the cylindrical container, the ignition of the effect charges takes place. After ignition, successively all effect charges in the container are sequentially fired, i.e. delayed, fired and fired radially outward. The cited in this document DE 92 13 375 U1 describes an irritation body, which provides for delay times in the compartments charge container for receiving the respective delay and effect charge. These delay charges with different delay times subsequently ignite the effect charges sequentially.
Aus der DE 10 2008 058 776 A1 ist ein Irritationskörper, auch Schockwaffe genannt, mit Zusatzeffekt bekannt. Durch Aufnahme eines Zusatzkörpers in einen vorhandenen freien Bauraum im Irritationskörper kann individuell und damit wahlweise direkt vor der Anwendung eine weitere Effektladung eingebunden und damit die Wirksamkeit erhöht werden. From DE 10 2008 058 776 A1 an irritation body, also called a shock weapon, with additional effect is known. By inclusion of an additional body in an existing free Space in the body of irritation can individually and thus either directly before the application of another effect charge involved and thus the effectiveness can be increased.
Die DE 10 2010 052 209 A1 kennzeichnet einen Irritationskörper, der modular aufgebaut ist. Durch die Wahl des entsprechenden Moduls mit einer vorbestimmten Kammergröße kann die Leistungseigenschaft des Irritationskörpers in einfacher Art und Weise variiert und auch erhöht werden. DE 10 2010 052 209 A1 describes an irritation body which has a modular structure. By choosing the appropriate module with a predetermined chamber size, the performance of the irritation body can be varied in a simple manner and also increased.
Eine Sicherung als Wiedersicherung für einen Kipphebelanzünder für eine Handgranate kann der DE 10 2010 021 685 B4 entnommen werden. Diese ermöglicht ein Wiedersichern nach Scharfmachen des Irritationskörpers. Dazu wird ein Profilteil mit einem Mittel verwendet, wobei das Mittel einen Zapfen als Sicherungszapfen bildet, welcher durch Drehen des Profilteils in einen Sicherungsschlitz des Kipphebelzünders bzw. Zünderkopfes geschoben wird. A fuse as a reinsurance for a rocker arm lighter for a hand grenade can be found in DE 10 2010 021 685 B4. This allows re-assurance after arming the irritation body. For this purpose, a profile part is used with a means, wherein the means forms a pin as a securing pin, which is pushed by turning the profile part in a securing slot of the Kipphebelzünders or igniter head.
Aus der EP 2 940 421 A1 ist ein Kipphebelzünder mit einem Zünderkopf bekannt, der einen von einer Schlagbolzenfeder beaufschlagten, schwenkbar angeordneten Schlagbolzen um- fasst, und mit einem Sicherungsbügel, der im selben Drehsinn wie der Schlagbolzen von einer Ausgangsposition, bei der er in Richtung auf den Zünderkopf gedrückt ist, in eine Schlagbolzen-Freigabeposition schwenkbar angeordnet ist. Hier ist vorgesehen, dass bei einem nicht im Gebrauch befindlichen Kipphebelzünder die Schlagbolzenfeder sich in ihrem ungespannten Zustand befindet und durch einen separaten Spannhebel gespannt wird (Unstored Energy Fuze Head). Ein von einer Ruhe- in eine Scharfstellung betätigbarer Spannhebel ist über eine Spannhebelwelle mit der Schlagbolzenfeder derart verbunden, dass die Schlagbolzenfeder von ihrem ungespannten Zustand in ihren gespannten Zustand nur dann betätigbar ist, wenn der Sicherungsbügel sich in seiner Ausgangsposition befindet. Die Schlagbolzenfeder ist in ihrem gespannten Zustand mittels einer Sicherungseinrichtung arretierbar. From EP 2 940 421 A1 a rocker arm igniter with a detonator head is known, which encompasses a pivotally arranged firing pin acted upon by a firing pin spring, and with a securing stirrup, which in the same direction of rotation as the firing pin from a starting position, in which it moves in the direction pressed on the igniter head is pivotally mounted in a firing pin release position. Here it is envisaged that in a not in use Kipphebelzünder the firing pin spring is in its untensioned state and is tensioned by a separate clamping lever (Unstored Energy Fuze Head). An operable from a rest in a focus clamping lever is connected via a clamping lever shaft with the firing pin spring such that the firing pin spring can only be actuated from its untensioned state to its tensioned state when the safety latch is in its initial position. The firing pin spring can be locked in its tensioned state by means of a safety device.
Einen Sicherungsstift für einen Irritationskörper zeigt die DE 20 2013 003 957 U1 auf. Dieser Sicherungsstift ist in einer Richtung im Wesentlichen senkrecht zur Schwenkachse eines Kipphebels gelegen. A safety pin for an irritation body is shown in DE 20 2013 003 957 U1. This locking pin is located in a direction substantially perpendicular to the pivot axis of a rocker arm.
Die Erfindung stellt sich die Aufgabe, eine Möglichkeit aufzuzeigen, mit der insbesondere vor Ort eine Anpassung des Irritationskörpers möglich und konkret die Wirkung bzw. Wirkleistung individuell einstellbar ist. The object of the invention is to provide a possibility with which an adaptation of the irritation body is possible in particular on site and, in concrete terms, the effect or effective power can be set individually.
Gelöst wird die Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen werden in den Unteransprüchen aufgezeigt. Der Erfindung liegt die Idee zugrunde, die Anpassung der Wirkleistung des Irritationskörpers mittels eines Schaltwerks über einen Zünderkopf des Irritationskörpers zu realisieren, mit dem die Anzahl der Effekte durch Zündung der Effektladung zugeschaltet werden können. The object is achieved by the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are shown in the subclaims. The invention is based on the idea to realize the adaptation of the active power of the irritation body by means of a switching mechanism via a detonator head of the irritation body, with which the number of effects can be switched by ignition of the effect charge.
Der Irritationskörper besitzt mehrere Kammern mit Durchzündbohrungen, in der Regel zwei, in denen jeweils eine Effektladung eingebunden ist. Der Irritationskörper umfasst zudem eine Verzögerungsladung. Die Verzögerungsladung wirkt ihrerseits über so genannte Überströmbohrungen und den Durchzündbohrungen der Kammer auf die Effektladung in den Kammern ein. The irritation body has several chambers with Durchzündbohrungen, usually two, in each of which an effect charge is involved. The irritation body also includes a delay charge. The delay charge in turn acts via so-called overflow holes and the Durchzündbohrungen the chamber on the effect charge in the chambers.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführung enthält das erfinderische Schaltwerk die Verzögerungsladung. Durch diese Maßnahme wird erreicht, dass die Verzögerungsladung in einer gesicherten Position keinen Kontakt zu den Kammern besitzt. Diese Konstruktion bietet unter anderem den Vorteil, dass insbesondere die Lagerung derartiger Irritationskörper zuverlässiger wird, da die Verbindung zwischen Verzögerungssatz und Effektladung bei Lagerung unterbrochen ist. In a preferred embodiment, the inventive switching mechanism contains the delay charge. This measure ensures that the delay charge in a secured position has no contact with the chambers. Among other things, this construction offers the advantage that, in particular, the storage of such irritation bodies becomes more reliable, since the connection between delay set and effect charge is interrupted during storage.
Für die Wirkung müssen die Verzögerungsladung und Effektladung durch die Überströmbohrungen / Durchzündbohrung aufeinander ausgerichtet werden. Zur Einnahme dieser Funkti- ons- bzw. Wirkposition wird das den Verzögerungssatz enthaltende Schaltwerk verstellt. Das Verstellen des Schaltwerks erfolgt beispielsweise durch Verdrehen des Zünderkopfes. Das Schaltwerk weist mehrere Schaltstellungen auf, wobei in möglichen Zwischenstellungen sichergestellt ist, dass keine Verbindung zwischen Verzögerungsladung und Kammern hergestellt wird. Die Anzahl der Schaltstellungen ist abhängig der einzustellenden Anzahl der Effekte. Bei einer Anzahl von vier einstellbaren Effekten, z.B. 2, 4, 6 und 12, sollte das Schaltwerk vier Schaltstellungen aufweisen. Bei sechs unterschiedlichen, frei wählbaren Effektvarianten, wie z.B. 1 , 2, 4, 10, 12 oder 1 , 2, 3, 6, 9, 12 wären dann sechs Schaltstellungen vorzusehen. For the effect, the delay charge and effect charge must be aligned by the overflow holes / Durchzündbohrung. To assume this function or active position, the rear derailleur containing the delay set is adjusted. The adjustment of the rear derailleur is done for example by turning the igniter head. The derailleur has a plurality of switch positions, wherein it is ensured in possible intermediate positions that no connection between delay charge and chambers is made. The number of switching positions depends on the number of effects to be set. With a number of four adjustable effects, e.g. 2, 4, 6 and 12, the rear derailleur should have four switch positions. With six different, freely selectable effect variants, such as 1, 2, 4, 10, 12 or 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 12 would then provide six switching positions.
Das Verdrehen bzw. Schalten des Schaltwerks wird bevorzugt bei gleichzeitigem Herunterdrücken des Zünderkopfes realisiert. Diese Maßnahme hat den Vorteil, dass die Verstellung nur unter Druck, d.h., bewusst erfolgt. Durch Loslassen des Zünderkopfes in einer der Schaltstellungen wird dieser wieder in seine Ursprungsstellung gebracht. Es können zudem Mittel eingebunden werden, die vermeiden, dass der Zünderkopf in seinen Zwischenstellungen in seine Ursprungslage zurückgleiten kann. Diese Maßnahme soll dann verhindern, dass der Irritationskörper funktionsunfähig wird, da in der Zwischenstellung keine funktionale Verbindung zwischen Verzögerungsladung und Effektladung besteht. Der Irritationskörper ist des Weiteren mit einer eingebauten Sicherheit ausgestattet, die verhindert, dass der Irritationskörper in einer nicht funktionsfähigen Zwischenstellung des Schaltwerks ausgelöst wird. Wird das Schaltwerk gleichzeitig beim Herunterdrücken des Zünderkopfes verdreht, ist eine erste Sicherung derart vorgesehen, dass ein Dreh-Ziehsplint erst freigegeben wird, wenn der Zünderkopf wieder in seiner ursprünglichen, oberen und damit richtigen Position eingerastet ist. Diese Sicherung kann beispielsweise durch ein federbelastetes Druckstück erfolgen, das einen Luftspalt zwischen dem Zünderkopf und Gehäuse des Irritationskörpers überbrückt. Beim Ändern der Wirkleistung, z.B. Ändern der Knall-Anzahl, wird das Druckstück in den Zünderkopf gedrückt. The rotation or switching of the rear derailleur is preferably realized with simultaneous depression of the igniter head. This measure has the advantage that the adjustment only under pressure, that is, consciously done. By releasing the igniter head in one of the switch positions this is brought back to its original position. It can also be involved means that prevent the igniter head can slide back in its intermediate positions in its original position. This measure is then intended to prevent the irritation body from becoming inoperative, since in the intermediate position there is no functional connection between the delay charge and the effect charge. The irritation body is further equipped with a built-in safety, which prevents the irritation body is triggered in a non-functional intermediate position of the derailleur. If the rear derailleur simultaneously rotated when you press down the igniter head, a first backup is provided so that a rotary-drawplate is only released when the igniter head is locked in its original, upper and thus correct position again. This backup can be done for example by a spring-loaded pressure piece, which bridges an air gap between the igniter head and the housing of Irritationskörpers. When changing the active power, eg changing the number of bangs, the pressure piece is pushed into the igniter head.
Diese Konstruktion gestattet die Verwendung einer weiteren Sicherung, die bei der Montage in diesen Spalt gedrückt wird und die erste Sicherung permanent betätigt hält. Diese zweite Sicherung kann aus einem Kunststoff-Clip bestehen. Zusätzlich verhindert diese zweite Sicherung durch eine seitlich in den Zünderkopf hereinragende Lasche das unbeabsichtigte Auftreffen des Schlagstücks auf das Zündhütchen. Diese zweite Sicherung wird erst direkt vor dem Einsatz entfernt. Sie verhindert jegliches Manipulieren an der Schalteinheit und Dreh-Splint. This construction allows the use of another fuse that is pressed into this gap during assembly and keeps the first fuse permanently activated. This second fuse can consist of a plastic clip. In addition, this second fuse prevented by a laterally projecting into the igniter head tab accidental impact of the hammer on the primer. This second backup is only removed immediately before use. It prevents any manipulation of the switching unit and rotary splint.
Um eine verschiedene Anzahl von Kammern zuschalten zu können, weist das Schaltwerk um- fangseitig mehrere Überströmbohrungen auf. Die Überströmbohrungen sind über eine oder mehrere ebenfalls umfangsseitig eingebrachte Nute teilweise miteinander verbunden. Die Nut bzw. Nute können dabei z.B. spiralförmig oder kaskadenartig eingebunden sein. Alternativen kennt der Fachmann. Die Steigung der Spirale bzw. die Abstände innerhalb der Kaskade (Stufen) sind dabei abhängig von der Lage der Durchzündbohrungen der Kammern, mit denen die entsprechenden Überströmbohrungen in funktionalen Kontakt zu bringen sind. In order to be able to connect a different number of chambers, the rear derailleur has several overflow holes on the circumference. The overflow holes are partially connected to each other via one or more also circumferentially introduced groove. The groove may be e.g. be involved spirally or cascade-like. Alternatives knows the expert. The slope of the spiral or the distances within the cascade (stages) are dependent on the position of the Durchzündbohrungen of the chambers with which the corresponding overflow holes are to bring into functional contact.
Der vorliegende Irritationskörper, hier ein so genannter Multi-Bang, erlaubt die individuelle Einstellung der Wirkleistung über die Einstellung der Anzahl insbesondere der Knall, Knall-Blitz- und / oder Blitz-Effekte, wodurch mehrere, frei wählbare Knall-Varianten geschaffen werden. Um eine individuelle Einstellmöglichkeit der Wirkleistung des Irritationskörpers zu erreichen, wird mit der vorliegenden Erfindung vorgeschlagen, in den Irritationskörper ein Schaltwerk einzubinden, das das zeitgleiche Zuschalten verschiedener Kammern innerhalb des Irritationskörpers zur Wirkungseinstellung durch Zuschalten der einzelnen Wirkmassen zu einer Gesamtwirkmasse ermöglicht. Das Schaltwerk wird durch ein Rohr und umfangsseitig eingebundene Bohrungen sowie Nute gebildet, die mit den Bohrungen teilweise eine funktionale Einheit bilden. Durch das Schaltwerk wird eine unterschiedliche Anzahl der Kammern im Irritationskörper zugeschaltet, wodurch die Wirkleistung erhöht oder auch wieder reduziert werden kann. Anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels mit Zeichnung soll die Erfindung näher erläutert werden. The present irritation body, here a so-called multi-bang, allows the individual adjustment of the active power via the adjustment of the number in particular of the bang, bang-flash and / or flash effects, whereby several, freely selectable bang variants are created. In order to achieve an individual adjustment possibility of the active power of the irritation body, it is proposed with the present invention to incorporate into the irritation body a switching mechanism which enables the simultaneous connection of different chambers within the irritation body for effect setting by connecting the individual active masses to a total effective mass. The derailleur is formed by a pipe and peripherally incorporated holes and grooves, which partially form a functional unit with the holes. Through the rear derailleur, a different number of chambers in the irritation body is switched on, whereby the active power can be increased or reduced again. Reference to an embodiment with drawing, the invention will be explained in more detail.

In Fig. 1 dargestellt ist ein Irritationskörper 10 mit einem Zünderkopf 1 , einem den Zünderkopf 1 aufnehmenden Gehäuse 2, einem am Zünderkopf 1 befindlichen Kipphebel 3 sowie einem den Kipphebel 3 sichernden Sicherungssplint 4. Das Irritationsgehäuse 2 weist in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel umfangseitig zwölf Ausblasöffnungen 5 auf, wobei die perspektivische Darstellung nur sechs Ausblasöffnungen 5 widergibt. Derartige Irritationskörper werden auch Seitenbläser genannt. Den Ausblasöffnungen 5 sind jeweils eine Kammer 6 zugeordnet, in denen eine Effektladung 7 enthalten ist (Fig. 2). Die Effektladungen 7 sind in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel Blitz-bzw. Knallladungen. Die Kammern 6 sind in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel in zwei Ebenen 8, 9 innerhalb des Irritationskörpers 10 integriert. Die Aufteilung ist dabei bevorzugt derart, dass sechs Kammern 6 in der oberen Ebene 8 und sechs Kammern 6 in der unteren Ebene 9 eingebunden sind. Die Kammern 6 der oberen Ebene 8 sind zu denen der unteren Ebene 9 bevorzugt zueinander versetzt im Gehäuse 2 angeordnet. 1 shows an irritating body 10 with a detonator head 1, a housing 2 accommodating the detonator head 1, a tilting lever 3 located on the detonator head 1 and a securing splint 4 securing the tilting lever 3. The irritation housing 2 has twelve exhaust openings 5 on the circumference in this exemplary embodiment , wherein the perspective view shows only six exhaust openings 5. Such irritation bodies are also called side blowers. The exhaust openings 5 are each assigned a chamber 6, in which an effect charge 7 is contained (Fig. 2). The effect charges 7 are in this embodiment flash or. Bang charges. The chambers 6 are integrated in this embodiment in two planes 8, 9 within the Irritationskörpers 10. The division is preferably such that six chambers 6 are integrated in the upper level 8 and six chambers 6 in the lower level 9. The chambers 6 of the upper level 8 are preferably offset relative to one another in the housing 2 with respect to those of the lower level 9.
Alternativ zu dem Seitenbläser und den seitlich im Gehäuse 2 eingebundenen Ausblasöffnungen 5 können weitere die Ausblasöffnungen (nicht näher dargestellt) im Boden und Deckel des Gehäuses 2 vorgesehen sein, die mit den Kammern über durch den Körper des Irritationskörpers 10 geführte Bohrungen (nicht näher dargestellt) mit den Ausblasöffnungen im Deckel und im Boden verbunden sind. Die seitlichen Ausblasöffnungen 5 wären in dieser kombinierten Ausführung durch einen zusätzlichen Körper bzw. ein zusätzliches Gehäuse (z.B. Rohr) zu bedecken. Es besteht aber auch die Möglichkeit, einen Irritationskörper mit Kammern ähnlich der DE 10 2004 059 991 B4 ohne seitliche Ausblasöffnungen zu verwenden. Hier bestehen keine Einschränkungen. As an alternative to the side blower and the blower openings 5 integrated laterally in the housing 2, the blowout openings (not shown in more detail) can be provided in the bottom and cover of the housing 2, which bore holes through the body of the irritation body 10 (not shown in more detail). are connected to the exhaust openings in the lid and in the floor. The side exhaust openings 5 in this combined embodiment would have to be covered by an additional body or housing (e.g., pipe). However, it is also possible to use an irritation body with chambers similar to DE 10 2004 059 991 B4 without lateral exhaust openings. There are no restrictions here.
Im Gehäuse 2 ist mittig ein (Mittel-)Rohr 1 1 zwischen den Kammern 6 eingebunden (Fig. 3). Dieses Mittelrohr 1 1 bildet ein Schaltwerk des Irritationskörpers 10. In das Schaltwerk 1 1 ist in einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführung ein Verzögerungssatz 12 z.B. eingepresst. Das Schaltwerk 1 1 bzw. das Mittelrohr weist umfangsseitig ein oder mehrere Bohrungen 13 bzw. ein oder mehrere Nute oder Einkerbungen 14 auf. Die Nute 14 besitzen Nutanfänge, in der Regel Bohrungen 13, sowie Nutenden 15. Diese wirken mit der jeweiligen Durchzünd-bohrung 16 der Kammern 6 zusammen, die dem Irritationskörper 1 zugeschaltet werden und diesen in seiner Wirkung individuell dimensionieren. Entsprechend sind die Nute 13 spiralförmig oder kaskadenförmig. Andere Geometrien zur Verbindung der in unterschiedlichen Höhen / Ebenen eingebrachten Bohrungen 13 im Schaltwerk 1 1 und der jeweiligen Durch-zündbohrung 16 der Kammer 6 kennt der Fachmann. Die Steigung oder Kaskade etc. der Nute 14 ist dabei abhängig der Lage der Durchzündbohrung 16 der jeweiligen Kammer 6 zur zugehörigen Bohrung 13 des Schaltwerks 1 1 . In the housing 2, a (middle) pipe 1 1 is centrally connected between the chambers 6 (FIG. 3). This central tube 1 1 forms a switching mechanism of the irritating body 10. In the switching mechanism 1 1 is in a particularly preferred embodiment, a delay set 12, for example, pressed. The rear derailleur 1 1 or the central tube has on the circumference one or more holes 13 or one or more grooves or notches 14. The grooves 14 have Nutanfänge in the Usually holes 13, and groove ends 15. These interact with the respective Durchzünd-bore 16 of the chambers 6, which are connected to the Irritationskörper 1 and dimension this individually in its effect. Accordingly, the grooves 13 are spiral or cascade-shaped. Other geometries for connecting the introduced at different heights / levels holes 13 in the rear derailleur 1 1 and the respective through-ignition bore 16 of the chamber 6 is known in the art. The pitch or cascade, etc. of the groove 14 is dependent on the position of the Durchzündbohrung 16 of the respective chamber 6 to the associated bore 13 of the derailleur 1 first
Fig. 4 zeigt den Zünderkopf 1 in einer Darstellung, in der der Kipphebel 3 sich links am Zünderkopf 1 sowie in einer Schnittdarstellung, in der der Kipphebel 3 sich rechts von diesem befindet. Der Kipphebel 3 ist durch den Splint 4 in bekannter Art und Weise gesichert und hält einen federbelasteten Zünder 17 Schlagbolzen bzw. Schlagstück / Zünder ist eigentlich ein Detonator, also ein Gegenstand mit Explosivstoffen davon ab, auf ein Zündhütchen 18 aufzuschlagen. Fig. 4 shows the igniter head 1 in a representation in which the rocker arm 3 is on the left of the igniter head 1 and in a sectional view in which the rocker arm 3 is located to the right of this. The rocker arm 3 is secured by the split pin 4 in a known manner and holds a spring-loaded detonator 17 firing pin or striker / detonator is actually a detonator, so an object with explosives from pitching on a primer 18.
Mit 20 ist eine Sicherung gekennzeichnet, die zwischen dem Schaltwerk 1 1 und dem Körper, insbesondere dem Zünderkopf 1 eingebunden ist. Diese Sicherung 20 kann zusätzlich das Zündhütchen 18 abdecken. Die Sicherung 20, beispielsweise ein Kunststoff-Clip, ist in einem Luftspalt 22 (ca. 2mm) zwischen dem Zünderkopf 1 und dem Gehäuse 2 des Irritationskörpers 10 eingebunden und überbrückt diesen. Diese Sicherung 20 kann aus einem Kunststoff-Clip bestehen. Zusätzlich besitzt diese Sicherung 20 eine seitlich in den Zünderkopf 1 hereinragende Lasche 23, die somit das Zündhütchen 18 abdeckt. Dadurch wird auch ein unbeabsichtigtes Auftreffen des Zünders (Schlagstücks) 17 Schlagbolzen bzw. Schlagstück / Zünder ist eigentlich ein Detonator, also ein Gegenstand mit Explosivstoffen auf das Zündhütchen 18 verhindert. Der Zünder 17 Schlagbolzen bzw. Schlagstück / Zünder ist eigentlich ein Detonator, also ein Gegenstand mit Explosivstoffen würde bei vorhandener Sicherung 20 maximal auf die Lasche 23 aufschlagen können. 20 is a fuse which is integrated between the switching mechanism 1 1 and the body, in particular the igniter head 1. This fuse 20 may additionally cover the primer 18. The fuse 20, for example a plastic clip, is incorporated in an air gap 22 (about 2 mm) between the igniter head 1 and the housing 2 of the irritation body 10 and bridges it. This fuse 20 may consist of a plastic clip. In addition, this fuse 20 has a laterally projecting into the detonator head 1 tab 23, thus covering the primer 18. This will also accidental impact of the detonator (hammer) 17 firing pin or hammer / detonator is actually a detonator, so an object with explosives on the primer 18 prevented. The detonator 17 firing pin or hammer / detonator is actually a detonator, so an item with explosives would strike 20 maximum on the tab 23 with existing fuse.
Eine weitere nicht näher dargestellte Sicherung dient dazu, dass nur in der Stellung, in der der Zünderkopf 1 seine Ausgangsposition eingenommen hat, der Splint 4 gezogen und der Kipphebel 3 freigegeben werden kann. In anderen Zuständen des Zünderkopfes 1 ist ein Ziehen des Splintes 4 unmöglich. Diese Sicherung, auch Splintsicherung genannt, kann beispielsweise durch ein federbelastetes Druckstück umgesetzt werden. Dadurch wird sichergestellt, dass der Splint 4 nur in der Ursprungs- oder Ausgangsstellung des Zünderkopfes 1 gezogen und der Kipphebel 3 freigegeben werden kann. Die Funktionsweise des Irritationskörpers 10 ist wie folgt: Another fuse, not shown, serves only to pull the split pin 4 in the position in which the igniter head 1 has assumed its starting position and the rocker arm 3 can be released. In other states of the igniter head 1 pulling the split pin 4 is impossible. This fuse, also called Splintsicherung, can be implemented for example by a spring-loaded pressure piece. This ensures that the split pin 4 is pulled only in the original or starting position of the igniter head 1 and the rocker arm 3 can be released. The operation of the irritation body 10 is as follows:
Zur Einstellung der individuellen Wirkleistungen des Irritationskörpers 10 wird das den Verzögerungssatz 12 enthaltende Schaltwerk 1 1 verstellt. Das Verstellen des Schaltwerks 1 1 erfolgt bevorzugt durch Verdrehen des Zünderkopfes 1 , der mit dem Schaltwerk 1 1 mechanisch verbunden ist. Das Schaltwerk 1 1 weist mehrere Schaltstellungen auf, wobei die Anzahl der Schaltstellungen abhängig der einzustellenden Anzahl der Effekte bzw. der Kombinationsmöglichkeiten der Effektladungen 7, z.B. bei der Auswahl von 2, 4, 8, 10, 12 Effekten = eine Ausgangsstellung + 4 Schaltstellungen. To set the individual active power of the irritation body 10, the delay set 12 containing derailleur 1 1 is adjusted. The adjustment of the rear derailleur 1 1 is preferably carried out by turning the igniter head 1, which is mechanically connected to the rear derailleur 1 1. The switching mechanism 1 1 has a plurality of switching positions, wherein the number of switching positions depends on the number of effects to be set or the possible combinations of the effect charges 7, e.g. when selecting 2, 4, 8, 10, 12 effects = one home position + 4 switch positions.
Gemäß der erwünschten Anzahl der Effekte werden durch das Verdrehen die Anzahl der Kammern 6 mit dem Verzögerungssatz 12 funktional verbunden. Die funktionale Verbindung des Verzögerungssatzes 12 zu den Kammern 6 erfolgt über die entsprechenden Bohrungen 13 und den Nuten 14 des Schaltwerks 1 1 , die durch Drehen des Schaltwerks 1 1 (des Zünderkopfes 1 ) auf die Durchströmöffnungen 16 der Kammern 6 ausgerichtet werden. Der Verzögerungssatz 12 wird nach Lösen des Splintes 4 und Aufschlagen des Zünders 17 Schlagbolzen bzw. Schlagstück / Zünder ist eigentlich ein Detonator, also ein Gegenstand mit Explosivstoffen auf das Zündhütchen 18 gezündet. Eine sich dabei bildende Schlacke gelangt aus den Bohrungen 13, die entweder direkt oder über die Nute 14 zur Durchzündbohrung 16 der zugeschalteten Kammern 6 geführt wird. Über die Durchzündbohrung 16 gelangen die Metalle der Schlacke in die Kammern 6 und damit in Kontakt mit den Effekten 7 und zünden diese (z.B. Blitzsatz). Der umgesetzte Effekt wird dann aus den Ausblasöffnungen 5 an die Umgebung gegeben. According to the desired number of effects, the number of chambers 6 is functionally connected to the delay set 12 by the rotation. The functional connection of the delay set 12 to the chambers 6 via the corresponding holes 13 and the grooves 14 of the derailleur 1 1, which are aligned by turning the derailleur 1 1 (the igniter head 1) to the flow openings 16 of the chambers 6. The delay set 12 is after loosening the pin 4 and striking the igniter 17 firing pin or hammer / detonator is actually a detonator, so detonated an object with explosives on the primer 18. A thereby forming slag passes from the bores 13, which is guided either directly or via the groove 14 to Durchzündbohrung 16 of the switched-6 chambers. Through the through-bore 16, the metals of the slag enter the chambers 6 and thus in contact with the effects 7 and ignite them (e.g., flash set). The converted effect is then given from the exhaust openings 5 to the environment.
Das Verdrehen bzw. Schalten des Schaltwerks 1 1 wird bevorzugt bei gleichzeitigem Herunterdrücken des Zünderkopfes 1 realisiert. Durch Loslassen des Zünderkopfes 1 in einer der vorgegebenen und damit zulässigen Schaltstellungen wird dieser wieder in seine Ursprungsposition gebracht. Hierfür kann eine Feder etc. vorgesehen sein, die beispielsweise unterhalb des Schaltwerks 1 1 im Gehäuse 2 eingebunden ist. Eine Einbindung einer Feder unterhalb des Zünderkopfes 1 ist ebenfalls denkbar. The rotation or switching of the switching mechanism 1 1 is preferably realized with simultaneous depression of the igniter head 1. By releasing the igniter head 1 in one of the predetermined and thus permissible switching positions this is brought back to its original position. For this purpose, a spring, etc. may be provided, which is integrated, for example, below the derailleur 1 1 in the housing 2. An integration of a spring below the igniter head 1 is also conceivable.
Die Sicherung der Irritationskörpers 10 erfolgt durch die beiden Sicherungen 20 und der splint- sicherung. Die Sicherung 20 wird ihrerseits beispielsweise bei der Montage in den Spalt 22 gedrückt. Diese Sicherung 20 hält die zweite Sicherung, für den Splint 4, permanent betätigt. Zusätzlich verhindert diese Sicherung 20 durch die seitlich in den Zünderkopf 1 hereinragende Lasche 23 das unbeabsichtigte Auftreffen des Zünders 17 auf das Zündhütchen 18. Diese weitere Sicherung 20 wird erst direkt vor dem Einsatz entfernt. Sie verhindert jegliches Manipulieren an der Schalteinheit (Schaltwerk) und dem Splint 4 (z.B. Dreh-Splint). Erst nach Entfernen der Sicherung 20 löst sich die Splintsicherung (Drucksicherung) und gibt den Splint 4 frei. The securing of the irritation body 10 is effected by the two fuses 20 and the splint fuse. The fuse 20 is in turn pressed for example during assembly in the gap 22. This fuse 20 holds the second fuse, for the split pin 4, permanently activated. In addition, this fuse 20 prevents by the projecting laterally into the detonator head 1 tab 23, the unintentional impact of the igniter 17 on the primer 18. This further fuse 20 is only removed directly before use. It prevents everything Manipulate on the switching unit (rear derailleur) and the cotter pin 4 (eg rotary cotter pin). Only after removing the fuse 20 releases the cotter pin (pressure relief) and releases the cotter pin 4 free.
