Embodiment Construction

[0024] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to FIGS. 1-3 of the drawings. Identical elements in the various figures are designated with the same reference numerals.

[0025] The irritation grenade 1 shown in FIG. 1 includes a housing 2 in which several pyrotechnic irritation charges such as report or flash charges are mounted as may be taken from the State of the Art described above. The neck 3 of a rocker-arm igniter 11 is threaded into the center of the upper side of the housing 2, whereby this neck 3 is a part of the housing 4 of the rocker-arm igniter. An ignition cap 5 is provided on the upper end of the neck facing away from the housing 2 that can ignite a delay charge 7 for the pyrotechnic loads within the housing 2 via a channel 6. The neck 3 with the igniter cap 5 forms an ignition chamber 8. Two wings 9 and 10 connected to each other are threaded onto the igniter chamber 8 that lie opposite each other and possess a straight ...

Abstract

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.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] The invention relates to a rocker-arm igniter as is used for irritation grenades, hand grenades, smoke, or fog grenades. [0002] The rocker-arm igniter includes a housing in which a rocker arm may pivot about an axis with the help of a strong, pre-tensioned spring. The rocker arm is connected with a striker that strikes an ignition cap positioned in an igniter head when the spring pivots the rocker arm. [0003] The function of the rocker arm will be explained in connection with an irritation grenade. [0004] Such munitions include a housing that receives at least one, and often several, pyrotechnic loads, e.g., irritation loads that create a loud report and / or a flash of light upon ignition. A rocker-arm igniter is preferably threaded into the top part of the irritation grenade housing. For this, the rocker arm rests approximately against the housing of the irritation grenade, and is held in this initial position by a mechanical securing device, usual...
