Abstract: Device with combustible charge with smoke-generating, tear-generating or signaling effects, which comprises a casing (1) housing a series of charges (2) traversed by an ignition cord (16), which casing is closed by means of a cover (3) which delimits an inner chamber (25) and carries a fuse (18). Between the charges (2) and the end wall (6) of the casing (1) there is a spacer (7′) which defines a chamber (8), between said end wall (6) and the nearest charge (2), and which may consist of a cylindrical wall, inside which are housed one or more parachutes (26), to each of which a charge (2) is connected.
