The present invention relates to a device, in particular in a launcher, for launching preferably smoke hand grenades (6, 106, 206), comprising two or more launching pipes (3, 103, 203), each holding a hand grenade (6, 106, 206), the said grenades prior to launching being in a secured state, and with a view to providing a suitable release of the safety catches of the grenades (6, 106, 206) while at the same time activating and firing the involved hand grenades it is according to the invention proposed that the device comprises a common gas distribution unit (1, 101, 238) which upon launching communicates with the launching pipes (3, 103, 203) for conveying launching gas to each of the launching pipes, and that the device also comprises safety catch release devices (2, 102, 241) which come into effect at launching. It may be appropriate that one of the safety devices be executed in conjunction with one or several protective covers for the launching pipes (3, 103, 203), and that the protective covers comprise means which upon launching and opening/removal of one or several covers will release the safety catch on the respective grenades.
L'invention concerne un dispositif, en particulier, un dispositif de lancement servant à lancer, de préférence, des grenades à main (6, 106, 206) produisant de la fumée. Ce dispositif comprend deux ou plusieurs canons de lancement (3, 103, 203) contenant chacun une grenade à main (6, 106, 206), lesdites grenades étant fixées préalablement à leur lancement. Dans le but de libérer de façon adéquate les crans de sûreté des grenades (6, 106, 206), simultanément à leur mise à feu, ce dispositif comprend une unité commune de distribution de gaz (1, 101, 238) communiquant lors du lancement avec les canons de lancement (3, 103, 203) afin de transporter le gaz de lancement vers chacun desdits canons, ainsi que des éléments de libération des crans de sûreté (2, 102, 241) agissant au moment du lancement. Il peut être approprié qu'un de ces éléments de sécurité soit exécuté en combinaison avec un ou plusieurs couvercles de protection des canons de lancement (3, 103, 203) et que ces couvercles de protection comprennent des moyens qui, lors du lancement et de l'ouverture ou de la suppression d'un ou de plusieurs des couvercles, libéreront le cran de sûreté des grenades respectives.
