PNEUMATIC MINE OF NON-LETHAL ACTION Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC F42B23/10 F42B23/24 F42B12/00 F42B12/36 

FIELD: weapons and ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a pneumatic mine of non-lethal action, in which submunitions are represented by the hermetic fabric shell in the form of a truncated cone, at actuation filled by compressed air, and high frequency sound waves generated by air flow along the gas duct channel. The invention can be applied for mining terrains, for example, before the fenced perimeter of the protected area on the outside to prevent the attacker approximation to the fence, and can also be used in special operations, in the areas of which can be civilians. The device consists of the frame inside which the balloon with a valve-flap is placed, the cup with the spring drive and the hammer is fixed on the frame; the fabric shell, inside which the sound action element is placed, is fixed on the cup. The structural feature of the invention proposed is the membrane assembly consisting of the thrust ring, the elastic bursting membrane and the insert made composite of three parts not fastened together, sandwiched between the balloon neck and the frame, which is able to withstand for a long time a certain pressure inside the balloon and has the high response speed, ensuring thereby the fabric shell filling for a very short period of time to the required pressure.

EFFECT: guaranteed impact on the attacker is provided, while avoiding any injuries and mutilations.
