  • Publication number: 20250137765
    Abstract: A hand-throwable effect-producing body with a manually graspable housing body, a manually operable triggering device having a spring-loaded impact body, an ignition device initiatable by the triggering device and comprises an ignition charge, a delay device is initiatable by the ignition device and comprises a delay charge and a delay line, and a main charge configured to be initiated directly or indirectly by the delay charge. The impact body is configured to be manually moved along the longitudinal axis thereof counter to a spring force into a preloaded position and to be releasably arrested there and to be released by manually operating a triggering element of the triggering device, such that it can shoot out of its preloaded position along the longitudinal axis against an axial stop and thereby initiate the ignition charge.

  • Patent number: 11629945
    Abstract: In order to improve safety, particularly during transportation and/or storage, a system (10) is proposed which at least comprises a housing (13) an explosive (3) held therein which is initiated by a blasting cap (1), wherein a sleeve insert (2, 2?) in the housing (13) makes it possible for the blasting cap (1) to be removed from the explosive (3), in that the blasting cap (1) in the sleeve insert (2, 2?) is height-adjustable, so that the position of the blasting cap (1) relative to the explosive (3) can be changed. The system (10) may include a fuse head (11) which at least comprises a primer cap and possibly a delay line (14). The blasting cap (1) may be an integral part of the fuse head (11) and insulated therewith on the base.

  • Publication number: 20170363400
    Abstract: A rocker arm detonator is provided that includes a detonator head, which includes a pivotably arranged firing pin which is acted upon by a firing pin spring, and has a safety clip, which is pivotably disposed in the same direction of rotation as the firing pin from a starting position, in which it is pressed in the direction of the detonator head to a firing pin release position. To reliably avoid an unintentional detonation of the rocker arm detonator prior to its proper use, when the rocker arm detonator is not in use, the firing pin spring is in its untensioned state and may be tensioned by a separate tensioning lever as soon as the rocker arm detonator is to be properly deployed.

  • Patent number: 8336461
    Abstract: Building on a modular construction of a hand grenade (10), the invention provides a module (1) that can be integrated in the hand grenade (10) and can be equipped with a hollow charge insert (3) in order to act as an armor-penetrating part. The module (1), including the hollow charge insert (3), can be fixed (mounted, screwed, clipped, etc.) at the bottom end of the hand grenade (10) and is attached to the armored element. In the simplest form, the hand grenade (10) is put down, in the case of side walls possibly hung on, and the hand grenade (10) is attached so that the hollow charge insert (3) can exert an adequate effect on the target medium.
