Cluster bomb grenade with means for spin rate attenuation

摘要

A cluster bomb grenade having a fuse and striker pin mechanism in the rear portion is known per se. On the rear portion there are mounted telescoping wings in a centro-symmetrical arrangement and adapted to swing from a folded to an unfolded position. There are provided retainer means cooperating with the striker pin in such a fashion that in the locking position of the striker pin the wings are located in the folded position, which retainer means are adapted to be jettisoned upon retraction of the striker pin. There are also provided stop means for arresting the wings in a desired position. When in operation the grenade is rejected from its cargo projectile the telescoping wings unfold and extend, whereby the spin rate of the grenade is gradually reduced.
