(54) DEVICE FOR ACTIVATING ELECTRONIC CARTRIDGES, COMPRISING A MUZZLE-LOADING REFILL SYSTEM


(57) Electronic cartridge actuating device with a cylindrical charge system for the activation by electric discharge of disposable electronic cartridges with different end functions, e.g. fire extinguishing cartridges, detonating cartridges without projection, chemical compound projection cartridges, etc. comprising an inner housing (1) with a charging system, a magnetic clamping system (2) at its base, terminals (3) for connection to the cartridge (10), a safety mechanism (4), a button (5) or push-activation system and an integrated battery (6).




Description

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.

Brief description of the figures



[0009] The following is a very brief description of a series of drawings which help to better understand the invention and which relate expressly to an embodiment of the invention which is presented as a non-limiting example of the invention.

FIG 3.
It shows a schematic of the insertion of the cartridge (10) in the device for activating electronic cartridges, comprising a muzzle-loading refill system; object of the present invention.
FIG 4.
It shows a detail view of the cartridge (10) of the device for activating electronic cartridges, comprising a muzzle-loading refill system, object of the present invention.

Detailed description of a detailed embodiment of the invention



[0010] The attached figures show a preferred embodiment of the invention. More specifically, the device for activating electronic cartridges, comprising a muzzle-loading refill system, is cylindrical in shape and comprises an inner housing (1) with a muzzle-loading system, a magnetic clamping system (2) at its base, terminals (3) for connection to the cartridge (10), a safety (4), a button (5) or push-activation system and an integrated battery (6).

[0011] In a practical non-limiting embodiment, the inner housing (1) is made of a metallic material.

[0012] In a particular embodiment, the safety mechanism (4) is of the hinged protective cover type.

[0013] In a second particular embodiment, the safety mechanism (4) is of the ring type.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the terminals (3) of the activating device are connected to the terminals (11) of the cartridge (10).


Claims
