Abstract (en)

[origin: US4709614A] A light and portable throwing device which can be carried and operated by only one person, for firing incandescent bodies that light large combat areas, comprising a separable firing tube which carries in its partial tube sections individual lighting elements in a container, and which separable firing tube can be quickly mounted in a base plate socket of a base plate. A releasable bayonet ring holds the spherical part of the firing tube in the base plate. A selector dial, rotatably positioned around the extended bore axis has individual support surfaces. During contact with a datum surface, each support surface has a given fixed predetermined angle of inclination between the bore axis and a gauge on the datum surface which corresponds to a respective throw distance for an incandescent body. A grip handle piece on the separable firing tube covers the center of gravity G of the throwing device and allows for the one handed carrying of the complete apparatus. A muzzle sided operable holding device is provided with a handhold.
