Abstract
Description
Technical field:
[0001] The invention relates to a mechanical device for the secure and versatile attachment of irritant devices, in particular smoke generators, pyrotechnic irritants, acoustic or thermally active elements, to metallic or non-metallic surfaces. The device is designed for mobile applications – e.g., under vehicles or in tactical operational situations – and serves the targeted application of non-lethal effects in the fields of security, rescue, defense, or event technology. It is not intended for the mounting or use of explosives, optical aiming aids, or stationary device holders. State of the art:
[0002] Existing devices for mounting pyrotechnic or mechanical devices are often stationary, complex to install, or not designed for mobile tactical use. Magnetic mounts exist for electronic devices (e.g., laser modules), but do not meet the requirements for modular design, multi-purpose mounting, and tactical usability under dynamic conditions. A universally applicable, compact, and quickly mountable carrier device for irritant devices is not currently known. Purpose of the invention:
[0003] A device is to be provided that can be easily, quickly, and securely attached to a vehicle or structure to carry and, if necessary, electrically ignite disruptive devices such as fog, pyrotechnic, acoustic, or thermal elements. The device should be robust, reusable, and tool-free for assembly. It should be usable in both metallic and non-metallic environments, utilizing variable mounting methods and materials. Solution:
[0004] This task is solved by a device with the following features: • A carrier plate with high structural stability made of metal, plastic or combinations thereof, • at least one universal holding device (e.g. tension clamp, clamping device, locking element, hook and loop fastener or similar connecting device) for fixing at least one irritant body, • a separating or shielding unit, permanently attached to the plate, • a variable number of magnetic fasteners (e.g. three or more neodymium magnets) for temporary attachment to metallic surfaces, • Multiple openings or retaining devices for alternative fastening with cable ties, straps or similar means, for non-metallic surfaces, • a closed mounting device for housing an external radio receiver or control unit, • where all elements are designed in such a way that different configurations, mounting types, materials and fastening methods can be realized based on the same basic technical idea.
[0005] The device is compatible with products such as those from FOG GmbH, but is not limited to them. Example implementation:
[0006] A preferred embodiment features a rectangular steel base plate with two parallel clamps for holding cylindrical irritants. Variants with only one clamp or with a closed enclosure for the radio receiver are also available. Three or more magnets provide temporary adhesion to metallic surfaces, while four corner holes allow for alternative mounting on non-metallic surfaces using cable ties. The device remains functionally identical regardless of these features. Summary:
[0007] The invention relates to a mobile, tactically deployable carrier device for receiving, securing, and activating stimulants. It is designed for a wide variety of applications (government agencies, rescue services, defense, film technology), consists of various materials, allows for flexible mounting options, and has a modular design. Explosives and optical targeting technology are excluded.
