The plenum may include a hollow chamber having a first end and a second end located opposite one another along a longitudinal axis, the first end of the chamber defining a shock egress opening. A valve assembly may be positioned at the first end of the chamber to seal the shock egress opening. A piston may be positioned within a recess located at the second end of the chamber. The piston may separate a first volume located between the piston and the first end of the chamber from a smaller second volume located between the piston and the second end of the chamber. A tension supporting rod may connect the valve assembly to the piston. A release valve may be in fluid connection with the second volume and a switch may be operable to open the release valve to release gas from the second volume and trigger opening of the valve assembly to generate a shock wave through the shock egress opening. | 01-21-2010 |
| 20100282109 | SHOCK-STABILIZED FIRING MECHANISM FOR DIVERSIONARY DEVICE - A firing mechanism for a diversionary device is provided includes a firing pin movable along a first axis and a hammer in contact with a first end of the firing pin and operable to move the firing pin from a cocked position to a fired position. A rotary solenoid has a shaft rotatable about a second axis parallel; a cam is mounted on a first end of the shaft. A trip lever with a cam follower engaged with the cam is slidable in a direction substantially orthogonal to the first and second axes from first to second positions. The mechanism further includes a link arm connecting the trip lever to the firing pin. When the rotary solenoid is activated, the cam causes the trip lever to slide from the first to the second position and release the firing pin to move from the cocked position to the fired position. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20110219979 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DISTRIBUTING IRRITANTS OR WARFARE AGENTS - An apparatus for distributing irritants or warfare agents includes a container having an interior for providing an irritant or warfare agent, which is dissolved or emulsified in a solution gas in its liquefied state of aggregation, which solution gas is in gaseous condition at room temperature and atmospheric pressure or ambient pressure. In addition, the container has at least one predetermined breaking point for producing an opening of the interior to the surroundings of the container at a predefined bursting pressure in the interior, and the apparatus further includes a pressure generator which can generate an increased pressure in the interior of the container that is greater than the bursting pressure of the at least one predetermined breaking point. | 09-15-2011 |
| 102368000 | Grenade | 6 |
| 20100224092 | Fuze for Stun Grenade - A stun grenade includes a fuze assembly secured to a housing adjacent gas outlet ports. The fuze assembly includes a fuze body having contact surfaces located in the flow path of the gas from the outlet ports so that gas flowing from the outlet ports impinges on the contact surfaces. The contact surfaces of the fuze body extend at an angle of no more than about 50 degrees to the first direction. | 09-09-2010 |
| 20140116280 | GAS CONTROLLED DELAY TIMING DEVICE - A delay release device that connects to an aerosol filled canister that releases the aerosol in a delayed manner. The device includes a main body with a first plunger assembly mounted on one end. Formed adjacent to the first plunger assembly is a first chamber filled with a compressed gas pressurized from 40 to 150 psi based on the time delay desired. In the main body adjacent to the first chamber is a second chamber and a third chamber. Located inside the third chamber is a second plunger with a hollow stem introduced into a top valve assembly on the canister. To activate, the first plunger assembly is pressed inward which activates a second valve disposed between the first and second chambers. The second valve allows compressed gas to flow slowly from the first chamber into the second chamber and into the third chamber. The increased air pressure in the upper portion of the third chamber exerts a downward force on the second plunger which forces the hollow stem into canister and causes the aerosol gas to be released into a lower discharge chamber and then through holes formed on the main body. | 05-01-2014 |
| 20150047525 | Fuze for Stun Grenade - A stun grenade includes a fuze assembly secured to a housing adjacent gas outlet ports. The fuze assembly includes a fuze body having contact surfaces located in the flow path of the gas from the outlet ports so that gas flowing from the outlet ports impinges on the contact surfaces. The contact surfaces of the fuze body extend at an angle of no more than about 50 degrees to the first direction. | 02-19-2015 |
| 20150345921 | STUN GRENADES AND METHODS OF ASSEMBLING STUN GRENADES - Stun grenades may include a fuze configured to ignite a delay material secured to a housing including a delay chamber in which the delay material is located. A handle of the fuze may be located over a final payload chamber of the series of payload chambers, payload material in the final payload chamber being configured to ignite after ignition of payload material in each other payload chamber of a series of payload chambers. Methods of assembling stun grenades may involve positioning an obstruction in a port extending between a delay chamber and a payload chamber of a series of payload chambers surrounding the delay chamber in a housing. A delay material may be packed in the delay chamber. The obstruction may be removed, and a payload material may be positioned in the payload chamber and the port. | 12-03-2015 |
| 20160161231 | WHISTLING SPINNING GRENADE - A whistling spinning grenade has a body defining a body axis and having a sidewall and a hollow interior, the body interior containing a teargas generation component and an ignition component, the body sidewall defining a plurality of passages, each passage communicating from the interior of the body to an exhaust aperture, each exhaust aperture penetrating the body sidewall and defining an exhaust aperture axis, and each exhaust aperture axis being angularly offset from a radius connecting the passage to the body axis, such that it has a tangential directional component with respect to the sidewall, and wherein rotation of the grenade about the body axis is propelled by the expulsion of exhaust gas through the exhaust apertures. The teargas generation component may be proximate the ignition component such that combustion of the ignition component ignites the teargas generation component. The passages and exhaust apertures may be all coplanar. | 06-09-2016 |
| 20160161234 | Fuze for Stun Grenade - A stun grenade includes a fuze assembly secured to a housing adjacent gas outlet ports. The fuze assembly includes a fuze body having contact surfaces located in the flow path of the gas from the outlet ports so that gas flowing from the outlet ports impinges on the contact surfaces. The contact surfaces of the fuze body extend at an angle of no more than about 50 degrees to the first direction. | 06-09-2016 |

In some embodiments, the systems include a first part being non-spherical and having an exterior, a plurality of stabilizing fins secured with the exterior of at the first part, and a second part have a hollow portion containing an inhibiting substance, wherein the second part is sealed with the first part to seal the inhibiting substance within at least the hollow portion. The first part can similarly have a hollow portion such that a volume is defined by the hollow portion of the first part and the hollow portion of the second part, wherein the inhibiting substance is contained within the volume. The fins can be angled to provide spin stabilizing. | 10-29-2009 |
| 20120210900 | NON-LETHAL VARIABLE DISTANCE ELECTRONIC TIMED PAYLOAD PROJECTILE AMMUNITIONS - A non-lethal projectile used to immobilize, impair, disorient, or distract a live target. The non-lethal projectile can also be used as a signaling device. In one embodiment, a non-lethal payload carrying projectile that is detonated at a set distance determined and set by the operator. The distance is electronically controlled and can be set in the field seconds before the projectile is fired. | 08-23-2012 |
