Abstract
An apparatus for distributing irritants or warfare agents includes a container having an interior for providing an irritant or warfare agent, which is dissolved or emulsified in a solution gas in its liquefied state of aggregation, which solution gas is in gaseous condition at room temperature and atmospheric pressure or ambient pressure. In addition, the container has at least one predetermined breaking point for producing an opening of the interior to the surroundings of the container at a predefined bursting pressure in the interior, and the apparatus further includes a pressure generator which can generate an increased pressure in the interior of the container that is greater than the bursting pressure of the at least one predetermined breaking point.
Claims16
An apparatus for distributing irritants or warfare agents, comprising:
- a container having an interior being adapted for providing an irritant or warfare agent, which is dissolved or emulsified in a solution gas in its liquefied state of aggregation, which solution gas is in gaseous condition at room temperature and atmospheric pressure or ambient pressure,
- wherein said container has at least one predetermined breaking point, which produces an opening of the interior to the surroundings of said container at a predetermined bursting pressure in said interior, wherein said predetermined bursting pressure is greater than an evaporation pressure of said solution gas;
- said apparatus further comprises a pressure generating means for generating an increased pressure in said interior of said container that is greater than said bursting pressure of said at least one predetermined breaking point;
- said solution gas being housed in said interior of said container;
- said container comprising another room separated from said interior by a separation member and housing the irritant or the warfare agent, wherein the separation member between said interior and said other room can be removed.
