Abstract
A diversionary device trigger mechanism is provided that can be repeatedly used, and. which allows a primer or blank to be discharged in two different ways. The device includes a main body with a number of other components secured to the main body about an upper chamber and a lower chamber. A firing pin, a ball bearing, an anvil, a top retaining cap, and a plunger are secured about the upper chamber. A blank carrier, a primer or blank, and a carrier receiver are secured about the lower chamber. In the first way, the ball bearing can be displaced relative to the main body, such as by throwing the device towards a surface. In the second way, the plunger can be pushed down relative to the main body. If either of these occur, the firing pin to be moved downwardly to pierce and set off the primer or blank.
Claims20
A blank firing device comprising:
- a main body having a first end, a second end, and a sidewall;
- a blank carrier cartridge containing a primer or a blank wherein the blank carrier is connected to the first end;
- a firing pin located within the main body;
- a bearing located proximate the firing pin;
- a plunger extending through the second end of the main body;
- a first trigger mechanism wherein the bearing is moved towards the sidewall causing the firing pin to pierce the blank carrier cartridge to activate the primer or blank when the main body contacts a surface;
- and
- a second trigger mechanism wherein the plunger is moved towards the first end causing the firing pin to pierce the blank carrier cartridge to activate the primer or blank when the plunger is engaged.
A method of using a diversionary device comprising the steps of:
- inserting a blank or charge into a blank carrier cartridge;
- inserting the blank carrier cartridge into a main body;
- moving a bearing to overcome a spring force to displace a tiring pin towards the blank carrier cartridge in a first trigger mechanism;
- piercing the blank carrier cartridge by the tiring pin;
- and
- activating the blank or charge.
A diversionary device trigger mechanism comprising:
- a first trigger mechanism comprising:
- a main body having a vertical axis, a firing pin, and a bearing, wherein the bearing and firing pin are located and positioned within a main body channel;
- a cartridge further located within the main body channel;
- wherein the bearing forces the firing pin to pierce the cartridge thereby off the diversionary.
