Systems and methods for a canister with pressure passages

Abstract:

A conducted electrical weapon ("CEW") impedes locomotion of a human or animal target by providing a stimulus signal through the target via one or more electrodes. The CEW includes a propulsion system. The propulsion system provides a force that launches the one or more electrodes toward the target to deliver the stimulus signal. The propulsion system includes a canister of pressurized gas, an anvil, and a manifold. The canister releases the pressurized gas. The manifold delivers the pressurized gas to the electrodes to launch the electrodes. The canister has a cavity and an opening. A lid seals the opening to retain the pressurized gas in the cavity of the canister. The lid includes notches to fill the cavity with the pressurized gas.
