A projectile having a projectile body for holding a penetrator, a projectile rear, and a projectile ogive. The projectile body has a narrowed point, on which the penetrator can be supported. The narrowed point results in reliable breaking open of the projectile body when the projectile hits a target.

Projectile, in particular in the medium caliber range

A projectile that extends in the longitudinal direction and can be introduced into a cartridge by means of a casing. Moreover, the projectile has a projectile body that contains both a penetrator and an expanding medium. Characterizing the present invention, it is proposed to use metal foam, in particular air-foamed aluminum, as the expanding medium.

Projectile with expanding medium

The invention relates to a thermally controlled electric switching device , especially a temperature fuse or a temperature limiter, with a switching contact device comprising a fixed contact and a motion contact , as well as a meltable element containing a meltable material , wherein the meltable material supports a transmission element before being activated when a trigger temperature is exceeded and, when the trigger temperature is exceeded, is forced out of its receptacle by the end of the transmission element impinging upon it, wherein a radially protruding, flat melt material screen is arranged on the transmission element
