Abstract
A system relating to non-lethal gas-pressurized hand grenades used in the game of paintball, or other recreational war games. The system provides for an air-pressurized paintball grenade that is thrown or otherwise ballistic delivered to the target. The paintball grenade does not trigger until delivered to the target. It is constructed to be easily refilled and pressurized for repeated, safe, and environmentally friendly use. The paintball grenade comprises stabilizing fins, an integral hand-pump for pressurization, a trigger blocker, and attaching apparatus for carrying.
Claims21
A system relating to spraying liquid from at least one reusable paintball grenade, said system comprising:
- a) at least one marker-container structured and arranged to contain at least one pressurized marker liquid;
- b) at least one release-controller valve structured and arranged to control release of such at least one pressurized marker liquid;
- c) at least one patterned-disperser structured and arranged to disperse such released pressurized marker liquid in at least one pre-determined pattern;
- and
- d) at least one spring-loaded trigger structured and arranged to trigger said at least one release-controller valve upon impact of the at least one reusable paintball grenade;
- e) wherein said at least one spring-loaded trigger comprises said at least one patterned-disperser;
- f) wherein said at least one marker-container comprises at least one filling-aperture structured and arranged to permit filling of said at least one marker-container with such at least one pressurized marker liquid;
- g) wherein said at least one marker-container comprises at least one closure structured and arranged to close said at least one filling-aperture;
- h) wherein said at least one marker-container comprises at least one aerodynamic geometry structured and arranged to geometrically assist in-flight aerodynamic stabilization of the at least one reusable paintball grenade when thrown;
- and
- i) wherein, after such at least one pressurized marker liquid has been released by said at least one release-controller valve, the at least one reusable paintball grenade may be re-filled with such at least one pressurized marker liquid and reused.

- a) at least one marker-container structured and arranged to contain pressurized marker liquid;
- b) at least one release-controller valve structured and arranged to control release of such pressurized marker liquid;
- c) at least one spring-loaded trigger structured and arranged to trigger said at least one release-controller valve upon impact of the at least one reusable paintball grenade;
- and
- d) at least one flight-stabilizer structured and arranged to aerodynamically stabilize the at least one reusable paintball grenade;
- e) wherein said at least one marker-container comprises at least one filling-aperture structured and arranged to permit filling of said at least one marker-container with such at least one pressurized marker liquid;
- f) wherein said at least one marker-container comprises at least one closure structured and arranged to close said at least one filling-aperture;
- and
- g) wherein, after such at least one pressurized marker liquid has been released by said at least one release-controller valve, the at least one reusable paintball grenade may be re-filled with such at least one pressurized marker liquid and reused.
