Paintball Impact Grenade

Abstract

A non-lethal hand grenade having a flexible resilient tube containing a pressurized colored liquid, with a impact actuated trigger device, which overcome the deficiencies of known prior art by offering a reliable, safe, and cost effective device that never fail to goes off when is thrown towards a intended target. The trigger device relies on the flexibility of the tube to keep the device safe to be thrown without going off until a minimal impact happens; The impact actuates a device which releases the trigger cap that keep the resilient tube blocked, allowing the pressurized liquid to be sprayed, marking anyone and anything about twenty feet of the point of impact. This non-reusable grenade is safe, reliable, environmental safe, easy to manufacture and operate, very similar in design and use to a real military grenade.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An impact actuated paintball grenade filled with a pressurized non-toxic washable colored liquid, comprising of a flexible resilient tube having one side permanently blocked by a crimping element and the other side blocked by an impact actuated device. 
     
     
         2 . An impact actuated paintball grenade of  claim 1  wherein the impact actuated device releases one side of the resilient tube on impact allowing the discharge of colored liquid. 
     
     
         3 . An impact actuated paintball grenade of  claim 1  wherein the impact actuated device uses part of the resilient tube as an active component on it. 
     
     
         4 . An impact actuated device of  claim 3  wherein the spring action required on device is provided by squeezing or stretching part of the resilient tube. 
     
     
         5 . An impact actuated non-lethal hand grenade filled with a non-toxic washable colored liquid, comprising of a flexible resilient tube having one side permanently closed by a crimping element and the other side blocked by an impact actuated device. 
     
     
         6 . An impact actuated non-lethal hand grenade of  claim 5  wherein the impact actuated device is totally or partially dislodged of the resilient tube before the discharge of colored liquid. 
     
     
         7 . A impact activated trigger for paintball grenades, comprised of two or more parts of any non-resilient material, attached at least to one end of a resilient tube or bladder to close it. 
     
     
         8 . A impact activated trigger for paintball grenades of  claim 7  wherein on impact, the trigger is actuated reliasing the resilient tube or bladder end, allowing the discharge of the colored liquid.
