Stun grenade and method for production thereof

Abstract

A stun grenade for repelling or defending against threats, and to a method for assembling the stun grenade. For this purpose, the main bodies of the stun grenades are produced separately from the flash charge containers. The flash charge containers are designed as at least one container for this purpose, which can be filled with at least one effect charge via an opening. The flash charge containers are then closed water-tight. The main bodies of the stun grenades can likewise be produced separately and comprise at least one cut-out for inserting the flash charge containers into the stun grenade. Thus, in case of use, the stun grenades can be assembled by mounting at least one flash charge container in the main body.

Description

[0001]This nonprovisional application is a continuation of International Application No. PCT / EP2017 / 064155, which was filed on Jun. 9, 2017, and which claims priority to German Patent Application No. 10 2016 111 947.4, which was filed in Germany on Jun. 30, 2016, and which are both herein incorporated by referenceBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONField of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a stun grenade for repelling or defending against threats, and a method for assembling the stun grenade. Such stun grenades are used, amongst other things, for support during police and military operations. They can be designed as a throwing body or else as a projectile. Therefore, they can be ignited manually or semi-automatically, possibly also with a time delay.Description of the Background Art[0003]A stun grenade comprises a main body with a corresponding ignition device and at least one effect charge, which can be ignited by the ignition device.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is about a new design for stun grenades that has several advantages over conventional grenades. The main body of the grenade is separate from the flash charge container, which means that the grenade doesn't need to be in a specific position during bonding. This reduces the risk of injury from flying fragments. The flash charge container is designed to be watertight to prevent the effect charge from becoming ineffective. It can be ignited by a stun grenade using an ignition device, and it causes visual and auditory effects through burning up the effect charge. The flash charge container can be automatically filled and closed with a cover, and it can have one or multiple bowls. The technical effects of the invention are improved safety, reliability, and efficiency.

Problems solved by technology

In conventional stun grenades, fragments are formed by the fact that the adhesive and the cardboard disks which are used in conventional stun grenades are expelled as they burn up and represent a risk of injury.

Such a container is configured to be watertight in order to prevent the penetration of water and thus the effect charge becoming ineffective.
