摘要:
A rapid-release smoke hand grenade comprising a manually actuatable igniter head (A) and an active mass member (B), wherein the striker located on the igniter head to initiate the chain of pyrotechnical activity is loaded by means of a safety clip so as to be safe to handle, the smoke-forming means located in the active mass member is in the form of combustible disc-shaped or disc sector-shaped thin leaves (flares) coated with smoke-forming agent based on red phosphorus which practically fill the canister of the active mass member around a capsule for the ignition/bursting unit located therein, the heavy components of this rapid-release smoke hand grenade are held together by connecting elements which are stable when it bursts, and the essential components of the grenade preferably consist of aluminium. In a likewise preferred embodiment the ignition/bursting charge of the ignition/bursting unit consists of a classical detonating charge of aluminium and potassium perchlorate in order to minimise the combustion gases evolved when it reacts.

An arrangement to prevent a premature ignition of an active charge, which is to be ignited by means of an adjustable time-delay fuse and is provided for a projectile that is expended from a firing barrel by means of a charge, includes both a mechanical and a pyrotechnical safety element. The ignition path between a first delay element that can be ignited while firing and the active charge of the projectile can be blocked by a barrel probe movable at right angles to the firing direction, and in its position blocking the ignition path can be arrested by an acceleration probe movable counter to the firing direction and, as long as the projectile is located in the firing barrel, by the firing barrel wall. A second delay element which can also be ignited while firing and exhibits a shorter delay period than the first delay element pressurizes the barrel probe with gas pressure in the direction of its end safety position following expiration of its delay period.
摘要:
An exercise firing projectile containing a plurality of pyrotechnic fragmentation devices are expelled from the projectile casing above the target area by an ejection charge, and delay tubes of the fragmentation devices are ignited at the same time by this charge through a central igniter tube contained within the projectile. The active charge of the devices consist of a grainy composite with quick reaction time.
