Patents by Inventor Hubert Vockensperger

Hubert Vockensperger has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 4807534
    Abstract: A device for ejecting ammunition containers from a war head has transverse to the war head longitudinal axis a bellows, which holds the ammunition containers in a plurality of concave pockets. The bellows is inflated by a gas generator including a gas-permeable tube extending along the longitudinal axis. In order to achieve a wide range of variations in the behavior of the ammunition containers in the process of being ejected, a propellant charge of the gas generator is particulate, with at least one ignition cord extending along the longitudinal axis of the tube around which a particle ignition mixture is arranged, so that the hot particles during burn-down of the ignition mixture are pressed between the particles of the propellant charge. A daming serves for building up the initial pressure required for the burning down of the propellant charge.

  • Patent number: 4805534
    Abstract: A device for ejecting ammunition containers from a war head has, transversely to the war head longitudinal axis a bellows which accepts individual ammunition containers in concave circumferentially sparse pockets (6). The bellows is inflated by a gas-generator including a gas-permeable tube extending along the longitudinal axis. In order to achieve as wide a variation range of ejection behavior of the ammunition container as possible, the propellant charge of the gas generator is particulate and at least one ITLX ignition cord extends along the longitudinal axis of the tube, so that the hot particles during burndown of the ITLX ignition cord are pressed between the particles of the propellant charge (12). A damming serves to build up the initial pressure required for the burn-down of the propellant charge.

  • Patent number: 4196669
    Abstract: A plurality of individual containers holding ammunition bodies are arranged within a dispersion warhead. A reaction engine is provided for each container or each of a group of containers. The reaction engines are mounted on the exterior surfaces of the containers, preferably on the container bottom. A rocket engine fueled with a body of solid fuel can be used as the reaction engine. Ignition means are provided at each end of the body of fuel. A centrally positioned detonating channel extends between the ends of the body of solid fuel. A slot-shaped continuous gas channel extends through the body of solid fuel between its ends and also extends laterally outwardly from the detonating channel to the surface of the body.
