  • Patent number: 5900579
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a dispersal or scattering dispenser (cannister) in accordance with the species concept of claim 1, in which the muzzle velocity of the munitions can be changed during the munitions ejection in a target dedicated manner by the chronologically phased opening of a pressure chamber arranged between the gas generator and the munitions tube. Embodiment examples are described and illustrated in the figures of the drawing.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5442951
    Abstract: An arrangement for examining pipes for interior leaks, comprises two mirror-inverted sections, each having at least one clamping device and at least one pair of runners. A pneumatic pressure source is provided for inspection of the pipes, as well as a sealing arrangement and a control arrangement. Each section has an outer cylinder, at least one intermediate cylinder concentrically disposed in the outer cylinder and displaceable with respect thereto, and at least one inner cylinder concentrically disposed in the center cylinder and displaceable with respect thereto. The two inner cylinders of the two sections are connected with the pneumatic pressure source so that pneumatic energy for the internal-pressure test is also for used to move the two sections.

  • Patent number: 5400689
    Abstract: A device for storing a missile 8 includes at least one adjustable and spring-loaded support point 11, 31 and at least two fixed support points 12 and 32 each are present in a launcher tube in the front and in the rear. The front support points 11, 12 act on support pins 10 arranged on the jacket of the missile 8, and the rear support points 12, 32 act on sliding ribs 35 arranged on supports 33 for wings 34 that can be folded out, wherein all support points are supported on frames 3 and 4 of a launching container 1.

    Inventors: Horst Hutter, Dietmar Puttinger
  • Patent number: 4932325
    Abstract: A safety device for use in low-speed aerodynamic bodies. The pressure conditions at the outer contour of the flying equipment are used for obtaining an arming criterion of a fuse. A slide is movable from a safe to an armed position. In the safe position, slide pickup ports are within the internal contour of the body. In the armed position, the slide pickup ports are exposed to the air stream outside the external contour of the body for creating a pressure difference for arming the fuse.

  • Patent number: 4262862
    Abstract: An apparatus for changing the wing position of swingable wings of a missi comprises, a piston which is movable linearly in a fluid pressure cylinder under the control of a fluid pressure, which is connected through a cable to each wing. The pivot for the wing includes recesses which are engaged by detent members in both an inwardly swung-in position and an outwardly swung position.
