Definitions

  • the invention relates to a self-closing propellant charge package for use with a gravity-operated loading device for a powder-actuated tool; a tubular body, having one end at least partially closed, the other end being open, and having a portion, adjacent to the open end, which is integrally formed with a plurality of deformable, charge-retaining nodes adapted for reformation between a first, undeformed, condition, wherein passage of charges is prevented, and a second, deformed, condition admitting of ready passage of charges.
  • the package is'adapted for telescoping emplacement on a projecting tubular loading port insert on the loading device, whereby the nodes are displaced, allowing the charges into the insert and, thence, into the loading device.
  • a primary object of the present invention to provide a propellant charge package, of the type described, which may be produced at minimal cost. This is accomplished, in general, by a tubular propellant charge package having one end at least partially closed, the other end being open, and having a portion, adjacent to the open end, which is integrally formed with a plurality of deformable, charge-retaining nodes, the nodes being adapted for reformation between a first, undeformed condition, wherein passage of charges is prevented, and a second, deformed, condition admitting of ready passage of charges. More specifi-.
  • the package is adapted for telescoping emplacement on a projecting tubular loading port insert on a loading device, whereby the nodes are displaced to assume the second condition, allowing charges to pass into the loading port insert and, thence, into the loading device.
  • Figures 1-3 show a package including a substantially tubular body 1, adapted to receive a plurality of propellant charges 9 in serial alignment, having a closed end 2 and an open end 4, through which the charges 9 are inserted and dispensed.
  • the body 1 is formed of a resilient material, such as low density polyethylene.
  • tube 1 is formed with three integral, deformable, charge-retaining nodes 5, symmetrically disposed about the periphery of the body 1 and equidistant from the open end 4.
  • the nodes 5 are each defined by a pair of intersecting planes 6 and 7 respectively, inclined approximately 15° and 4° relative to the longitudinal axis of the body 1, and are adapted for reformation between a first, undeformed, condition, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, wherein passage of charges 9 through the body 1 is prevented, and a second, deformed condition, as shown in Figure 3, admitting of ready passage of charges 9.
  • the nodes 5 may be deformed, as seen in Figure 3, by telescopic emplacement of the package on an openended, tubular loading port insert 17 carried by a loading device 10.
  • the insert 17 includes a nose portion 17a, adapted to be inserted into the body 1, the terminus of the nose portion 17a being defined by a shoulder 17b adapted to limit the extent of such insertion.
  • the length of the, nose portion 17a is slightly less than the distance between the open end 4 of the body 1 and the lines of intersection 5a of the pairs of planes 6 and 7.
  • the distal end of the nose portion 17a may be provided with outside and inside bevels 23 and 24 respectively for facilitating the introduction of the insert 17 into the body 1 and that of the charges 9 into the insert 17.
  • the insert 17 is further provided with a screw thread 17c for attachment to the loading device 10.
  • the loading device 10 comprises a support 11, formed with two arms 12 and 13, the arm 12 being continued in its upper part by a sleeve 16, and a member 14 for transfering the charges into the tool combustion chamber.
  • Member 14 is preferably pivotally mounted about a pin which is integral with support 11, for movement in a plane perpendicular to the barrel of the tool.
  • a closure plate 15, for member 14, is pivotally mounted between member 14 and arm 13 of support 11.
  • Sleeve 16 comprises the insert 17, the nose portion 17a of which projects towards the outside of sleeve 16 and bores 18, 19 and 20, each having a diameter substantially equal to the outside diameter of the charges 9, formed respectively in insert 17, sleeve 16 and transfer member 14, in such manner that the charges 9 may descend by gravity from the body 1 into the transfer member 14.
  • the body-1 which is in abutment against the forward face of shoulder 17b, is maintained upon insert 17 by the constriction provided by the deformed nodes 5.
  • the charges 9 may then be put in position in the transfer member 14 of the device 10, from the package, by gravity.
  • the package is thus seen to provide a holding function for the charges when it is not mounted on the loading device 10, and a release function when it is mounted on the device.
