Abstract:
1. Apparatus comprising: a storage tank which is or can be filled with an active substance, said storage tank having a first end region in the vicinity of one end of the storage tank and a second end region in the vicinity of the opposite end of the storage tank; a pyrotechnic charge that can be initiated by an initiator in the first end region of the storage tank; a cartridge-case base which can be driven by propellant gases of the fired charge in order to drive the active substance out; and an atomizing unit for atomizing the active substance being driven out, wherein the atomizing unit includes an atomizer pipe having outlet nozzles formed within the pipe casing in order to fill a spatial region with a mist of the active substance, one of the ends of the atomizer pipe being connected in the second end region of the storage tank, such that the active substance can be moved by movement of the cartridge-case base from the first end region to the second end region and transferred into the atomizer pipe, and such that the active substance undergoes a diversion and, based on the corresponding arrangement of the atomizer pipe having outlet nozzles, is atomized into a chosen spatial region.
