DISPOSABLE ROCKET LAUNCHER Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: hand arms. SUBSTANCE: rocket launcher has a launching container with drop covers, firing mechanism with an afterburner, rocket connected to a jet engine through a piston, sight with a fore sight, strip and slider. The afterburner is provided with a stepped bush, whose step of the larger diameter faces the firing mechanism and is pressed to it by a thread plug on the side of the container rear end face. The bush duct accommodates the primer cap and an additional powder charge. The thin-walled skirt of the jet engine and the launching container have slots that are open towards their rear end faces, and aligned with the lateral throttle orifice of the jet engine and radial orifice of the afterburner respectively. The piston is made in the form of a cup with an elliptic bottom and rectangular orifices in periphery, which accommodate the collet tabs; the cup is installed with its concave surface facing the jet engine. The fore sight is made in the form of a bar with a shift relative to its threaded base in radial direction by a value equal to the sum of the manufacturing tolerances for the sight components and their mating components of the container. The strip is box-shaped and has a longitudinal slot and diopter holes in the opposite wall. The slide is made of a flexible metal plate with a height not less than the distance between the three diopter holes of the strip, and provided with a lock. EFFECT: enhanced reliability and efficiency, reduced cost. 9 dwg
