Claims
- 1. A double shot grenade launcher which comprises:
- container means for holding electrical components therein;
- latching relay means operatively disposed in said container means for switching a single supply voltage to two alternate locations;
- first secondary relay means operatively connected to said latching relay means for firing a first salvo from said grenade launcher;
- first RC delay means electrically connected intermediate said latching relay means and said first secondary relay means for providing enough time to fire said first salvo before said latching relay means transfers to fire a second salvo;
- second secondary relay means operatively connected to said latching relay means for firing said second salvo from said granade launcher; and
- second RC delay means electrically connected intermediate said latching relay means and said second secondary relay means for providing enough time to fire said second salvo and keeping said second relay from operating until said latching means transfers.
- 2. A double shot grenade launcher is recited in claim 1 wherein said container means includes a hermetically sealed box hardened to resist nuclear, biological and chemical environments.
- 3. A double shot grenade launcher as recited in claim 2 wherein said latching relay means includes;
- a latching coil electrically coupled intermediate said supply voltage and ground; and
- a latching switch operable by said coil for transfering supply voltage to either said first or second secondary relay means.
- 4. A double shot grenade launcher as recited in claim 3 wherein said first secondary relay means includes;
- a first relay coil electrically coupled to said first RC delay means, and
- a first normally open switch operably coupled to said first relay coil and to function when said first relay coil is energized.
- 5. A double shot grenade launcher as recited in claim 4 wherein said first delay means includes;
- a first resistor electrically coupled intermediate said latching switch and said first secondary relay means; and
- a first capacitor electrically coupled in parallel with said first relay coil of said first secondary relay means.
- 6. A double shot grenade launcher as recited in claim 5 wherein said second relay means includes;
- a second relay coil electrically coupled to said second RC delay means; and
- a second normally open switch operably coupled to said second relay to function when said second relay coil is energized.
- 7. A double shot grenade launcher as recited in claim 6 wherein said second delay means includes;
- a second resistor electrically coupled intermediate said latching switch and said second secondary relay means; and
- a second capacitor electrically coupled in parallel with said second relay coil of said second secondary relay means.
