Object of the invention
[0001] The subject of the present report is a device for activating electronic cartridges,
comprising a muzzle-loading refill system with a system for the activation by electric
discharge of disposable electronic cartridges with different final functions such
as fire extinguishing cartridges, detonation cartridges without projection, chemical
compound projection cartridges, etc.
Background to the invention
[0002] Today, there are a multitude of cartridge-like devices that serve a variety of purposes
ranging from extinguishing a fire, incapacitating an aggressor, generating a loud
bang to creating an illuminated warning signal.
[0003] Most of the activators required for the use of these cartridges are made by means
of hammer, spring or firing pin systems, which makes them sensitive to possible undesired
activations occurring by chance. Likewise, all these devices use single-use cartridges
or, in the case of interchangeable cartridges, they are based on systems of reloading
by reloading and are actuated by percussion of the cartridges.
[0004] The device presented here is intended to house and activate all these types of electronic
initiation cartridges in a comfortable, efficient and safe way, based on the muzzle
loading system, as well as to provide the user with a simple method of replacing these
cartridges once they have been used.
Description of the invention
[0005] The technical problem solved by the present invention is to provide the user with
a simple, effective and safe solution for the activation of any type of electronic
initiation cartridge , solving the activation manoeuvres, projection of the effect
to the desired place as well as providing a quick replacement manoeuvre for the cartridges
to be used. To this end, the electronic cartridge activator device with a system of
reloading by auctions, the object of the present invention, is cylindrical and comprises
an interior housing with a system of auctions, a magnetic fastening system at its
base, terminals for connection to the cartridge, a safety mechanism, a button or push-activation
system and an integrated battery.
[0006] Thanks to its design, the muzzle loading system allows easy replacement of the cartridges
through the front of the inner housing by a simple pull that overcomes the force that
the magnetic clamping system exerts on the cartridge to hold it in its firing location.
[0007] Likewise, the built-in battery provides the necessary power to the activator and
this discharge is activated by means of the push-button or push-activation system,
which allows the discharge of the material incorporated in the cartridge.
[0008] Finally, the invention incorporates a safety mechanism that protects the button from
accidental actuation. This safety mechanism may be of the hinged cover type, safety
ring type or any other method that prevents such accidental actuation.
