Benefits of technology

This patent describes a non-lethal grenade that can be made waterproof by using a plastic cap and a rubberized stern section. The surfaces to be bonded can be roughened or abraded to ensure a secure attachment. The sealing layer, which is made of a liquified synthetic rubber, can be applied at room temperature. This makes the grenade more versatile for use in water environments and does not interfere with its functionality or reliability. The manufacturing process is not significantly changed by the waterproofing feature.

Problems solved by technology

Failure to release the cap properly will yield unsatisfactory results and potentially dangerous safety issues due to the confinement of forces within the grenade body.

Embodiment Construction

[0030]The following embodiments described herein relate to a grenade having a sealing feature enabling the grenade to be effectively water-tight and therefore more versatile than previous known versions. Throughout the course of discussion, various terms are used to aid in providing a suitable frame of reference with regard to the accompanying drawings. To that end, terms such as “above”, “below”, “top”. “bottom”, “upward”, downward”, “proximal”, “distal” and the like are used throughout. These terms, however, are not intended to be overlimiting of the present invention as claimed. In passing, it should further be noted that the drawings in this application should not be necessarily relied upon in ten 135 of their depicted scale.

[0031]Moreover, the embodiments described herein relate specifically to a specific version of a so-called “non-lethal” weapon / device or grenade. It will be readily apparent that the concepts that are described herein, however, are also applicable to other fa...

Abstract

A grenade is defined by a body made from a rubberized material, the body including a hollow interior and a stem section. A cap is releasably secured to the stem section, the cap retaining a fuze assembly which is threadingly engaged therewith. The grenade is equipped with an ejection charge that causes said cap and said fuze assembly to be separated from said body prior to detonation of the grenade. A hydrophobic sealing layer applied to the exterior of the stem section and cap provides a watertight seal relative to the interior of the grenade, but without substantially interfering with the ejection of said cap and fuze assembly.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The application relates generally to the field of non-lethal weapons and / or diversionary devices and more specifically to a non-lethal grenade having a seal that enables use in water environments.BACKGROUND AND RELATED ART[0002]There are numerous versions of grenades that are presently available for purposes of law enforcement, military and other related applications. Included among these devices are what are referred to as so called “non lethal” or distraction devices. These devices include, among others, “flash-bang” grenades and “stun” grenades, each of which are commonly designed to temporarily incapacitate a person or persons that are within a prescribed area or to cause persons to leave a prescribed area due to the detonation of a grenade therein. In the case of “flash hang” grenades, a combination of a released charges of intense flash illumination and auditory (loud sound) discharge are emitted by the grenade while in the case of “stun” grenades, a plura...
