ELECTRIC SHOCK MINE OF MULTIPLE USE Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: engineer explosive items, to personnel mines with electric hitting means. SUBSTANCE: invention can be used to mine terrain for non-lethal injury of enemy's personnel and in special operations in which execution zone peaceful people live. Electric shock mine includes sealed dielectric shell housing conductors, diodes, capacitive storage circuit and mechanical spring make contacts of pressure action protected against effects of environment and pressure cover. Mine is also fitted with make contacts, grounding electrode, sealed connector for connection of external charging device, flexible plates. Upper part of pressure cover is made current conducting, capacitive storage circuit comprises n capacitors which leads-out are structurally arranged on opposite sides of shell. Capacitors are mounted for formation of vertical consistent row in which leads-out of capacitors are directed in opposition. Capacitors are attached to shell by means of flexible plates, opposite leads of capacitors are connected to make contacts, value of gap between contacts excludes break-down while capacitors are charged. First capacitor is connected with its lead to first lead of mechanical contact and cathode of first diode. Second lead of first capacitor is connected to anode of second diode. Second capacitor is connected with first lead to cathode of third diode, second lead of second capacitor is connected to anode of fourth diode, n-th capacitor is connected with first lead to cathode of 2n-1-th diode, second lead of n-th capacitor is connected to anode of 2n-1-th diode, second lead of mechanical contact is connected to current conducting top of pressure cover which lower and side surfaces are covered with dielectric material and pressure cover itself is positioned inside dielectric limiter of current spreading. Grounding electrode connected with conductor to cathodes of second, fourth and 2n-th diodes is built into lower part of dielectric shell, sealed connector for connection of external charging device connected with conductor to anodes of first, third and 2n-1-th diodes is built into side surface of dielectric shell. EFFECT: prevention of traumas and mutilation, potential for multiple use of mine. 1 dwg
