  • Mechano-electrical fuse for a hand grenade
    Patent number: 7197983
    Abstract: A mechano-electrical fuse (10) for a hand grenade (76), which has a spring element for the storage of mechanical energy and which has a drive device connected to the spring element for driving an electrical generator (28) through mechanical energy which is stored in the spring element. The electrical generator (28) is connected through an electronic delay circuit (56) with a detonator (46), with which a booster charge (48) is associated. A barrier (40) is provided between the detonator (46) and the booster charge (48). The spring element is formed by a tensioning spring (24) associated with the handle lever (18) of the hand grenade (76). The drive device has a taut cable line (68) which is fixed at one end (70) to the generator shaft (30) and wound with a number of turns (72) around the generator shaft (30). The second end (74) of the cable line (68) is mounted to the handle lever (18).

  • Mechano-electrical fuse for a hand grenade
    Publication number: 20050150414
    Abstract: Described is a mechano-electrical fuse (10) for a hand grenade (76), which has a spring element for the storage of mechanical energy and which has a drive device connected to the spring element for driving an electrical generator (28) by means of the mechanical energy stored in the spring element. The electrical generator (28) is connected together by way of an electronic delay circuit (56) with a detonator (46), with which a booster charge (48) is associated. A barrier (40) is provided between the detonator (46) and the booster charge (48). The spring element is formed by the tensioning spring (24) associated with the handle lever (18) of the hand grenade (76). The drive device has a taut cable line (68) which is fixed with its one end (70) to the generator shaft (30) and wound with a number of turns (72) around the generator shaft (30). The second end (74) of the cable line (68) is mounted to the handle lever (18).

  • Process for the production of fermented drinks with reduced alcohol content
    Patent number: 4804554
    Abstract: In a process for the production of a fermented drink with a reduced alcohol content, alcohol is removed from the drink by dialysis and then removed from the dialysis liquid by vacuum distillation. The fermented drink in the original condition is used as the dialysis liquid and flavor and aroma-giving substances which are desired in the finished drink and which occur in the vacuum distillation operation are returned to the dialysis liquid prior to re-use thereof.
