  • Patent number: 7036432
    Abstract: The invention provides an explosive round that produces fragments propelled by jetting effect, the round consisting in a firing head, an explosive charge, a fragment generating wall in direct contact with the explosive, which wall has a set of indentations extending towards the inside of the round and into the explosive, so that each indentation constitutes a shaped charge, wherein the indentations of the fragment-generating portion are in the form of caps extending inside the explosive, each cap presenting a surrounding base having a diameter comprised between 2.5 mm and 5.5 mm and a wall thickness comprised between 0.5 mm and 0.8 mm, so that each cap generates a corresponding fragment propelled by jetting effect, fragment which has no effectiveness beyond 35 m from the point of explosion.

  • Patent number: 6792868
    Abstract: The invention concerns an igniter plug for a pyrotechnic device, in particular a hand-launch or mechanical launch grenade, comprising a body (104) provided with a control mechanism including a fly-off lever (101) and a percussion mechanism (128) co-operating with a primary pyrotechnic module (105) for initiating the charge (119) of the associated device. The invention is characterised in that it further comprises a lock (150) engaged with the lever (101), in storage position, to prevent the fly-off lever (101) from moving towards its release position, the lock (150) being configured to impose, when the igniter plug is activated, an initial movement of the lever (101) countering its displacement required for releasing the percussion mechanism (128), so as to disengage the lock (150) and the fly-off lever (101).
