Hand-held firing device comprising several cartridges

摘要

The inventive firing device ( 1 ) comprises a cartridge reception unit ( 11 ) in which each of several cartridges ( 3 a to 3 d) is provided with one propellant ( 132 ) and is interchangeably disposed in one reception chamber ( 9 ), and a cover part ( 7 ) closing the rear section of the device by means of which cartridges can be replaced. A fluid and/or powdered substance ( 14 ) that can be propelled by means of the triggered propellant ( 132 ) is stored in each cartridge. Triggering units for the cartridges ( 3 a- 3 d) which can be activated sequentially by a trigger element ( 21 ) are disposed in the cover part ( 7 ). In order not to harm the user when replacing cartridges, the cartridge reception unit ( 11 ) and the top part of each cartridge are aligned with each other so as to seal the cartridge area ( 9 ) at least following the firing of the cartridge, thereby leaving no substantial quantity of the substance ( 14 ) in the firing device ( 1 ) outside the cartridges ( 3 a- 3 d).
