Abstract
A fragmentation plate composed of juxtaposed contacting metal bodies or fragmentation elements which is to be disposed in front of an explosive charge in an explosive grenade or other projectile, for example a sub-projectile. The metal bodies or fragmentation elements, for example, metal balls, are held, at least on the side of the plate facing the explosive, by a tray or shell, for example of sheet metal. The tray or shell may be perforated, i.e. provided with holes, for the metal bodies. Moreover, an encasing substance may be disposed between the tray and the bodies and over the outer surfaces of the metal bodies. Additionally, the fragmentation plate may have an outer covering shell or tray.
