Patent number: 10996034Abstract: An irritation member having a housing, wherein the housing has a front side and a rear side, as well as lateral surfaces connecting the front side and the rear side. The front side and rear side are larger than the lateral surfaces, thereby producing a parallelepipedal housing. The irritation member has blow-out openings on the lateral surfaces and an actuation element that is provided in a recess of the housing. In the event of non-actuation, the actuation element is thereby received in the recess of the housing and thus does not increase the size of the housing. As a result, the irritation member does not look like a conventional irritation member.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2020Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Assignee: Rheinmetall Waffe Munition GmbHInventors: Martin Wustlich, Frank Habel, Kai Luebbers, Julia Heering, Philip Weber, Kolja Garber

Publication number: 20200149851Abstract: A rolling preventer for reducing rolling movements of a grenade, wherein the rolling preventer has at least one hindering element, which counteracts rolling movements of the grenade and can consequently reduce the rolling movement. The rolling preventer according to the invention also has a clearance, by which the rolling preventer can be attached to a grenade. For this purpose, the grenade is inserted through the clearance and the rolling preventer is thereby fastened to the grenade. Also proposed is a grenade, with a housing, an actuating element and a safety device, wherein the grenade is equipped with a rolling preventer according to the invention.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2020Publication date: May 14, 2020Applicant: RHEINMETALL WAFFE MUNITION GMBHInventors: Martin WUSTLICH, Frank HABEL, Kai LUEBBERS

Patent number: 9016205Abstract: An irritation body (100, 100?) is proposed, which is formed by at least two modules (101, 102). The upper module (101) serves for acceptance of an ignition head (1) with tilt lever (3) and comprises upper blow-out apertures (8, 9). The lower module (102) is intended for acceptance of an effect-charge (11) with the effect-charge (11) being integrated in a central chamber (10) of a module (102). The chamber (10) itself is functionally connected with the upper blow-out apertures (8, 9) and also with the lower blow-out apertures (12, 18, 19, 20) in the lower module (102). The chamber (10) in the lower module (102) can, depending upon module (102), be selected in different sizes, which produces, under concomitant volume variability, output variability with defined increase in output.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2011Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Assignee: Rheinmetall Waffe Munition GmbHInventors: Thorsten Lübbers, Kai Lübbers, Frank Habel

Publication number: 20060283346Abstract: A rocker-arm igniter for irritation grenades, hand grenades, smoke or fog grenades, or similar, includes a rocker arm that may be pivoted by a tensioned spring about a pivot axis from a initial position into a second position, and that is firmly attached to a striker that, when the rocker arm is pivoted into its second position, strikes a igniter element of the rocker-arm igniter. A first mechanical securing device with a first securing device element is provided that holds the rocker arm in its initial position. Additionally, a second mechanical securing device with a second securing device element is provided that also holds the rocker arm in its initial position. The rocker arm is released to pivot into its second position only after removal of both securing device elements.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2005Publication date: December 21, 2006Inventors: Thorsten Luebbers, Kai Luebbers
