  • Patent number: 4859454
    Abstract: Paper distributing an active compound such as a pesticide or a lachrymatory agent, particularly intended to be used in buildings or closed enclosures. This paper is intended to be burnt to ensure the dissemination of the active compound incorporated in the paper. To ensure an efficient and rapid dissemination by means of a large volume of combustion gas containing only a little smoke and originating from a special combustion reaction at a limited temperature so as not to decompose the active compound, this paper is a nitrocellulose-based paper in which the proportion of nitrogen is greater than 5% and in which the fibres consist of a mixture of cellulose and nitrocellulose fibres, this mixture comprising at least 18% of cellulose fibres and the active compound having a decomposition temperature above 130.degree. C.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 26, 1988
    Date of Patent: August 22, 1989
    Assignee: Societe Nationale des Poudres et Explosifs

  • Patent number: 4751881
    Abstract: Pyrotechnic igniter capable of being fitted in, and withdrawn from the throat of the nozzle of a propulsion unit. The igniter comprises parts bearing on the convergent section (1a) and on the divergent section (1b) of the nozzle. In order to permit the fitting and the withdrawal of this igniter at any time, while improving the conditions of ignition of the propellent charge, the igniter comprises, on the one hand, an internal rupture member (2) and, on the other hand, external means of fitting (3) which are capable of expanding radially, this internal rupture member initially maintaining the external means of fitting in a deployed position.
