Definitions
- the present invention relates to a ballistic device capable of propelling a useful crew towards its place of use, comprising a propellant tube and a projectile containing said crew.
- Devices of this kind are used in many areas of human activity, for example to install a connecting cable between two locations distant from each other, in particular between a boat and a mooring stop located on the coast or between two locations located on opposite sides of a valley.
- the projectile propelled by the device is attached to a wire which deploys between the starting location and the ending location, during the travel of the projectile.
- Ballistic devices are also known, the projectile of which, while being connected to the starting location by a wire, contains a parachute capable of deploying at a predetermined moment, during the travel of the projectile.
- the parachute keeps the end of the wire at a certain altitude above the ground by the effect of a kite, which makes it possible to hoist up to its level a device such as, for example, a transmitter of radio waves.
- devices are also used ballistic whose projectile carries a useful crew for the fight against hail, for the triggering of avalanches, etc.
- the present invention is based on a constructive idea which makes it possible to considerably simplify the priming mechanism of a ballistic device even if the latter is of a caliber reaching about ten centimeters and which makes it possible to propel projectiles containing a useful crew. , for example at a distance of the order of 300 to 400 meters without requiring excessively large compressed air tanks.
- the ballistic device is characterized in that it further comprises an annex enclosure intended to contain compressed air, in that said enclosure communicates with the propellant tube by a lateral opening which is sealed off by the projectile itself when the latter is in its starting position, and in that a priming mechanism makes it possible to move the projectile in the tube over a sufficient distance to discover said opening.
- the construction of the ballistic device is extremely simple.
- a cylindrical tube 1 acts as a propellant tube. Its dimensions can for example be 100 mm in diameter and 1 m in length.
- This tube preferably metallic, is fixed by means of a retaining ring 2 and screws or bolts 3 to a cylinder head 4 of tubular shape closed at the rear by a bottom 5.
- the cylinder head 4 has two diametrically opposite lateral openings, one of which is closed off by an arcuate plate 6 so as to conform to the shape of the cylinder head while the other is connected to a segment of bent conduit 7.
- the duct segment 7 and the plate 6 will be welded to the cylinder head 4.
- the duct 7 ends in a flange 7a similar to the flange 4a of the cylinder head 4, and an auxiliary enclosure also of tubular shape, designated by 8, is fixed to the flange 7a by a fixing ring 9 and screws or bolts 10.
- the cylindrical enclosure 8 is closed at its front end by a disc 11 welded to the wall of the enclosure.
- This closing disc 11 has, in the embodiment described, two tapped openings 12 which receive, one a pressure gauge, and the other a connector provided with a non-return valve. This reccord makes it possible to fill the enclosure 8 with compressed air from a cylinder or from the discharge pipe of a compressor.
- the enclosure 8 will only be filled after the projectile 13 has been put in place.
- the latter is shown in phantom in the drawing. It has the shape of a cylindrical case with a flat bottom and a rounded head.
- This box is capable of opening under the effect of an appropriate command in order to release the useful equipment which it contains and which can be of a very diverse nature according to the envisaged application.
- this useful crew can be constituted, by example, by a parachute.
- the projectile could also contain a hooking device, an alarm device or any other device.
- a wire is linked to the projectile 13. This wire is not shown in the drawing, such arrangements being already known.
- the projectile can carry, for example, a stirrup, the two branches of which are engaged in longitudinal grooves formed according to two generatrices opposite the surface of the projectile.
- the ends of the legs of the stirrup bent at right angles, can then be hung in holes in the wall of the projectile so as to allow the stirrup to pivot around an axis perpendicular to its direction of movement after its departure so that the stirrup tips over and the wire attached to the top of the stirrup is pulled by the projectile from the back.
- the presence of such a stirrup does not hinder the establishment of the projectile which, as seen in the drawing, engages from the front end of the tube and comes to rest against the bottom 5 of the breech.
- the enclosure 8 can be filled with compressed air once the projectile is in place.
- the air accumulates in the enclosure 3. It cannot escape since the opening which makes the enclosure 8 communicate with the tube 1 is closed by the projectile itself.
- the enclosure could be filled up to a pressure of 80 to 100 bars.
- the device described also comprises a mechanism consisting essentially of a rod 16 guided in a boss 5a of the bottom 5 and adjusted in a substantially sealed manner in this passage.
- the drawing does not represent the support of the ballistic device, nor the means provided for adjusting the orientation of the tube 1. These are conventional and well known means which it is not necessary to describe here.
- While the device shown in fig. l has only one tubular enclosure of diameter approximately equal to that of the tube 1, and arranged parallel thereto, one could also provide several enclosures of the same kind distributed around the tube and communicating with the cylinder head each through an opening, and a bent conduit of the type of conduit 7. Thus, for example, one could provide two or three enclosures distributed around the tube 1, which would increase still the expected pressure gas reserve.
- the enclosure could take the form of a container comprising two coaxial walls, therefore of annular shape, the propellant tube being disposed in the center of the enclosure.
- the breech could be made up of two entirely separate parts and the opening provided to feed the tube at the time of the initiation of the propulsion could extend over the entire periphery of the projectile.
