MANUAL HAND GRENADE LAUNCHER COMPLEX Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC F41F3/42 

FIELD: weapons and ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to weapons and can be used in designing hand grenade launcher complexes. Proposed complex comprises container hooked to fiberglass launching tube. Lockwork incorporates pulsed generator, coupling assembly, sights and belt. Aforesaid coupling assembly comprises locking mechanism and electric-contact device to transmit electric pulse from electric generator to grenade firing circuits. Locking mechanism represents shaped spring-loaded plate with two levers, that is, a hook fixed on launching tube. First of the above levers forms a gap with launching tube and features a chamfer made on its inner surface. The other lever incorporates a tooth to interact with circular groove made on container. First lever is covered, on the gap side, by spring-loaded ledge of bolt stop interacting with first lever chamfer, while inner generating surface of contact rings interacts with launching tube inner surface by its conical surface in contact with equidistant cone of container. Electric-contact device represents two eclectically-connected metal contact rings, reinforced in the area of aforesaid coupling assembly and connected by spring-loaded contacts with grenade firing circuits. Button-type circuit breaker is connected between contact rings and electric generator.

EFFECT: higher safety.
