  • Patent number: 12203732
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a grenade with a plurality of independently detachable carpel segments each containing a charge and independently detonated from other carpel segments. The grenade may include a head section with a triggering mechanism, and a modular hollow core with a rod having an upward mechanical bias towards the head section, which may include a safety pin, lever, and pivot. When the pin is pulled, a lever can be released after timed delay, and the release of the lever allows the rod to advance upward, which triggers strike pins that strike a primer which ignites a propellent that ejects a carpel segment from the core. The propellent simultaneously ignites a fuse in the body of the carpel segment, and the fuse triggers a detonation of the main charge in the carpel. Timed delays on the fuse can be used to cause the carpel segments to detonate at different times.
