Abstract: A storage unit includes a nozzle unit, a storage space holding an active substance, an openable closure element sealing the storage space, a store output that includes the nozzle unit and a nozzle entry space having a circumferential inner wall arranged between a nozzle inlet and the closure element and a propellant charge and a firing charge for firing the propellant charge in order to force the active substance out of the storage space through the store output into a free environment, where the closure element is configured to remain attached to the storage unit and not interfere with the discharge of the active substance.

Abstract: The apparatus (1e, 1f) according to the invention has a storage tank (5) which is or can be filled with an active substance (3), a pyrotechnic charge (6; 39) in a first end region (9) of the storage tank (5), a cartridge-case base (13) which can be driven by propellant gases of the fired charge (6; 39) in order to drive the active substance (3) out, and has a unit (7) for atomizing the active substance (3) being driven out, and at least one sensor (35a; 35b) which interacts with the charge (6; 39) in order to initiate the latter. The atomizer unit (7) is formed as an atomizer pipe (7) having a plurality of outlet nozzles (15) in the pipe casing in order to fill a spatial region (14) with a mist of the material of the active substance (3). One (18) of the ends of the atomizer pipe (7) is arranged in a second tank end region (19), facing away from the first and extending from the latter. The apparatus is distinguished by a compact and economical configuration with good automatic filling of a space with mist.

Abstract: The inventive firing device (1) comprises a cartridge reception unit (11) in which each of several cartridges (3a to 3d) is provided with one propellant (132) and is interchangeably disposed in one reception chamber (9), and a cover part (7) closing the rear section of the device by means of which cartridges can be replaced. A fluid and/or powdered substance (14) that can be propelled by means of the triggered propellant (132) is stored in each cartridge. Triggering units for the cartridges (3a-3d) which can be activated sequentially by a trigger element (21) are disposed in the cover part (7). In order not to harm the user when replacing cartridges, the cartridge reception unit (11) and the top part of each cartridge are aligned with each other so as to seal the cartridge area (9) at least following the firing of the cartridge, thereby leaving no substantial quantity of the substance (14) in the firing device (1) outside the cartridges (3a-3d).

Abstract: The invention relates to a defense device with a storage unit (1) that is provided with a nozzle unit (3), a solid, gaseous and/or liquid active substance stored in a storage compartment (5), a propelling charge and an igniting charge for igniting said propelling charge, in order to propel the active substance by way of a propellant that is produced when the propelling charge is ignited and to expel it from the storage compartment (5) through the nozzle unit (3) into free space. The storage device is further provided with a closing element (19) in the nozzle inlet zone, which prevents the active substance from escaping from the storage compartment (5) in the unignited state, but releases the nozzle unit (3) directly after ignition in such a way that no fragments of the closing element (19) can escape from the nozzle unit (3).
