Abstract: The projectile, in particular a bullet, comprises a body (1) comprising a receiving cavity (6) containing a product (8) which is active on the organism of a live target, and means for releasing this product upon the impact of the projectile on the target. The body (1) of the projectile includes a propelling motor (5) and, along the length of the body, a portion (30) of smaller diameter followed by a shoulder (32) constituting a braking plane perpendicular to the direction of travel of the projectile. Application in bullets for disabling an opponent with no risk of fatal injury.

Abstract: Pyrotechnic bomb comprising a body (1) containing a burst charge (2) and flare charges (6) whose dispersion and ignition are ensured during the burst, characterized in that the said body (1) is made at least partially from a pyrotechnic composition.

Abstract: Delay igniter plug for pyrotechnic machine, in particular manual or mechanical launch grenade, comprising a body (4) fitted with a control mechanism comprising a trigger lever (1) and a percussion mechanism (28) interacting with a primary pyrotechnic module provided with a primer (3), a retardant composition (9), a primary explosive (13) which are capable of ensuring initiation of the charge of the associated machine which is arranged so that the primary explosive (13) cannot be initiated without going via the retardant composition, the primary pyrotechnic module (5) being axially displaceable in the said body toward the principal charge, means (2) for holding the primary pyrotechnic module (5) axially separated from the principal charge (19) and a screen (12a, 15) interposed between the principal charge and the terminal part of the primary pyrotechnic module containing the primary explosive (13), characterized in that the means (2) for holding the primary pyrotechnic module (5) axially separated from the pri

Abstract: The connecting device between a firing fuse (2) of a pyrotechnic product and an electric igniter (13) comprises an end member (5) forming a socket fixed to one end of the fuse (2) and a sleeve (12) surrounding the igniter (13) and constituting a plug engaged in the socket (5).

Abstract: Oxygen generator comprising a casing (1, 10) containing an oxygen generating block (9) whose initiation is ensured by a manually actuated primer (8). The casing is provided with a valve (66) for the outlet of the oxygen. The primer (8) is a thermal primer separated by a gas impervious screen (13) from the material of the gas generating block (9).

Abstract: The device is automatically re-armed and comprises at least one pyrotechnic jack and a push-member actuated by the jack for unlocking the fixture. A loader carries a plurality of pyrotechnic charges for actuating the jack in succession. A device is provided for igniting the charges and a device is provided for positioning the charges of the loader with respect to the push-member and with respect to the device for igniting the charges.The present invention relates to an automatically re-armed electro-pyrotechnic unlocking device and more particularly, although not exclusively, to such a device applied to a safety fixture or binding for a ski.Safety fixtures are known which are opened by a pyrotechnic charge which is ignited by means responsive to critical exterior influences when said influences appear or act.An object of the invention is to provide an unlocking device of the aforementioned type which is relatively simple in construction and easy to use.
