Abstract

A training cartridge has a plastic projectile or plastic dummy projectile wherein the projectile or dummy projectile is integrally molded on a synthetic resin sleeve open at the rear end. The sleeve is inserted in a cartridge case of metal open at its front end. The cartridge case with case shoulder and case neck formed thereon is made to be open also at the rear end so that the synthetic resin sleeve can be inserted from the rear end into the cartridge case in close contact with the inner wall thereof. A separate metallic bottom piece is inserted into the rear end of the cartridge case, sealing the case tightly toward the rear.

Description

Die Erfindung befaßt sich mit einer Obungspatrone der im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Art.The invention relates to an obstruction cartridge of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1.

übungspatronen mit einem Geschoß aus Kunststoff sind in verschiedenen Ausführungen bekannt. Weit verbreitet ist eine Patrone, die ein Bodenstück aus Metall und einen hülsenförmigen Patronenkörper mit einstückig angeformtem Geschoß aus Kunststoff aufweist. Beim Schuß reißt das Geschoß am Hülsenmund ab und wird für sich allein durch den Waffenlauf getrieben. Daneben sind Obungspatronen bekannt, bei denen auf eine Patronenhülse aus Metall ein Geschoß aus Kunststoff aufgesetzt oder in diese eingesetzt ist. Beide Ausführungen haben Vor- und Nachteile. Im ersteren Falle ist es die relativ geringe Haltbarkeit der Kunststoffhülse, im letzteren Falle der mangelhafte Sitz des Plastikgeschosses in der Metallhülse, die den Anforderunge des Einzelfalles unter Umständen nicht voll genügen und Zuführstörungen in der Waffe bzw. eine verminderte Schußgenauigkeit zur Folge haben können.Exercise cartridges with a plastic bullet are known in various designs. A cartridge is widespread, which has a base piece made of metal and a sleeve-shaped cartridge body with a one-piece molded projectile made of plastic. When the shot is fired, the bullet tears off at the barrel mouth and is driven by the gun barrel by itself. In addition, maintenance cartridges are known in which a projectile made of plastic is placed on or inserted into a cartridge case made of metal. Both versions have advantages and disadvantages. In the former case, it is the relatively low durability of the plastic sleeve, in the latter case the poor fit of the plastic bullet in the metal sleeve, which may not fully meet the requirements of the individual case and can lead to delivery problems in the weapon or a reduced accuracy of the shot.

Es ist weiterhin eine Obungspatrone bekannt, bei welcher in einer am vorderen Ende offenen und am hinteren Ende geschlossenen Patronenhülse aus Metall vom vorderen Ende her eine Kunststoffhülse eingesetzt ist. Die Kunststoffhülse ist ihrerseits am hinteren Ende offen und am vorderen Ende mit einer hohlen Geschoßnachbildung versehen, die beim Schuß an der Spitze aufplatzt. Die Kunststoffhülse liegt gleichmäßig an der Innenwandung der Patronenhülse an und ist in dieser gehalten, indem deren vorderer Rand gegen eine Ringwulst der Kunststoffhülse zu einer Hülsenschulter umgebördelt ist. Wie sich gezeigt hat, kann es hierbei jedoch unter ungünstigen Umständen beim Schuß zu unregelmäßigen Abrissen im Bereich der Geschoßnachbildung oder auch zu einem "Herausschießen" der Kunststoffhülse aus der Metallpatrone kommen. Entsprechen des gilt, wenn anstelle der Geschoßnachbildung ein abzutrennendes Geschoß aus Kunststoff vorgesehen ist.Furthermore, an obstruction cartridge is known in which a plastic sleeve is inserted from the front end into a metal cartridge case which is open at the front end and closed at the rear end. The plastic sleeve is in turn open at the rear end and provided at the front end with a hollow projectile that bursts at the top when it is fired. The plastic sleeve lies evenly against the inner wall of the cartridge case and is held in this by the front edge thereof being flanged to form a sleeve shoulder against an annular bead of the plastic sleeve. As has been shown, however, under unfavorable circumstances, when the shot is fired, irregular tears in the area of the projectile replica or "shooting out" of the plastic sleeve from the metal cartridge can occur. Corresponding to this applies if a projectile made of plastic is to be separated instead of the projectile.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Übungspatrone der im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Art so auszubilden, daß bei möglichst einfacher Fertigung insbesondere die Waffenfunktion und gegebenenfalls auch die Schußgenauigkeit verbessert werden.The invention has for its object to design a practice cartridge of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1 so that, in particular, the weapon function and possibly also the shot accuracy are improved with the simplest possible manufacture.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch die Ausbildung entsprechend dem Kennzeichen des Anspruchs 1. Diese Ausführung gewährleistet einerseits durch die Metallhülse und deren Hülsenhals die geforderte Haltbarkeit der Obungspatrone und den einwandfreien Sitz des Plastik-Geschosses bzw. der Plastik-Geschoßnachbildung in der Metallhülse und andererseits dennoch eine einfache Fertigung, da die Metallhülse einschließlich ihrer Schulter und ihres Halses in relativ sehr einfacher Weise herstellbar und mit dem separaten Bodenstück verbindbar ist. Weiterhin ist damit sichergestellt, daß auch unter sehr ungünstigen Umständen eine saubere Trennung des Geschosses vom Hülsenmund der Kunststoffhülse erreicht wird, wodurch eine gute Treffgenauigkeit des Plastik-Geschosses erzielt wird. Außerdem wird das Abreißen von Teilen des Hülsenhalses oder des Treibladungspulverraumes der Kunststoffhülse beim Schuß vermieden, welche z.B. die Waffe verunreinigen, funktionell blockieren oder beschädigen könnten. Das gilt gleichermaßen auch für eine Obungspatrone, bei der anstelle des abreißenden Geschosses eine mit der Kunststoffhülse beim Schuß verbunden bleibende, an der Spitze aufplatzende Geschoßnachbildung vorgesehen ist.This object is achieved according to the invention by the training according to the characterizing part of claim 1. This embodiment ensures, on the one hand, the required durability of the maintenance cartridge and the perfect fit of the plastic bullet or the plastic bullet replica in the metal sleeve and, on the other hand, by the metal sleeve and its sleeve neck simple manufacture, since the metal sleeve including its shoulder and neck can be produced in a relatively very simple manner and can be connected to the separate base piece. This also ensures that Even under very unfavorable circumstances, a clean separation of the projectile from the sleeve mouth of the plastic sleeve is achieved, as a result of which the plastic projectile has good accuracy. In addition, the tearing off of parts of the sleeve neck or the propellant powder space of the plastic sleeve during the shot, which could contaminate, functionally block or damage the weapon, for example, is avoided. This also applies to an obstruction cartridge, in which instead of the tearing projectile, a projectile replica that remains connected to the plastic sleeve during the shot and bursts at the tip is provided.

Die Patronenhülse ist als dünnwandige Metallhülse aus z.B. Stahl, Messing oder Aluminium ausgeführt, welche die äußere Form einer kalibergerechten Patrone ohne Geschoß, jedoch keinen Patronenboden aufweist. Solche Hülsen können vorzugsweise durch Tiefziehen von Metallbändern in geeigneten Folgewerkzeugen hergestellt werden.The cartridge case is a thin-walled metal case made of e.g. Steel, brass or aluminum, which has the outer shape of a caliber-compatible cartridge without a bullet, but no cartridge bottom. Such sleeves can preferably be produced by deep drawing metal strips in suitable follow-on tools.

Die Kunststoffhülse weist am vorderen Ende ein kalibergerechtes Plastik-Geschoß bzw. eine entsprechende Geschoßnachbildung auf und ist in ihrem hülsenförmigen, das Treibladungspulver aufnehmenden Bereich in ihrer sie äußeren Kontur so gestaltet, daß/in die metallische Patronenhülse von deren hinteren Ende her eingeführt werden kann und an deren Innenwand einschließlich der Schulter und des Halses vollflächig dicht anliegt.The plastic sleeve has at the front end a caliber-compatible plastic bullet or a corresponding projectile replica and is designed in its sleeve-shaped area that receives the propellant charge powder in its outer contour so that / can be inserted into the metallic cartridge case from its rear end and on the inner wall including the shoulder and neck lies tightly over the entire surface.

Nach dem Einfüllen des Treibladungspulvers in die Patronenhülse bzw. die Kunststoffhülse wird in das hintere offene Ende der Patronenhülse das separate Bodenstück aus Metall eingesetzt und mit dieser durch Kneifen, Kleben oder in anderer bekannter Weise verbunden.After filling the propellant charge powder into the cartridge case or the plastic sleeve, the separate base piece made of metal is inserted into the rear open end of the cartridge case and connected to it by pinching, gluing or in another known manner.

Um.die Kunststoffhülse zusätzlich in der Patronenhülse zu fixieren und die Abdichtung gegenüber den Pulvergasen im Bereich des hinteren Endes der Kunststoffhülse noch' weiter zu verbessern, erweist sich die Ausbildung nach Anspruch 2 als vorteilhaft. Dazu kann zum Beispiel das Bodenstück mit seinem vorderen Rand gegen den hinteren Rand der Kunststoffhülse stoßen oder diesen auch innenseitig lidernd übergreifen.To fix Um.die plastic sleeve in addition to the cartridge case and to improve the seal against the powder gases in the region of the rear end of the plastic sleeve, yet 'further, the formation of turns of claim 2 to be advantageous. For this purpose, for example, the front edge of the base piece can abut against the rear edge of the plastic sleeve or can also overlap it on the inside.

Die Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung in einem Ausführungsbeispiel im Längsschnitt gezeigt und wird anhand dieses nachstehend näher erläutert.The invention is shown in the drawing in an exemplary embodiment in longitudinal section and is explained in more detail below with reference to this.

In die metallische Patronenhülse 1 mit der konischen Hülsenschulter 2 und dem Hülsenhals 3 ist vom hinteren Ende 4 her die Kunststoffhülse 5 mit dem einstückig angeformten Plastik-Geschoß 6 eingesetzt. Nach Einfüllen des Treibladungspulvers 7 ist in das hintere Ende 4 der Patronenhülse 1 das separate metallische Bodenstück 8 mit dem Anzündmittel 9 eingesetzt und mit dieser über die durch Kneifen erzeugte Rille 1o dicht und fest verbunden. Das Bodenstück 8 liegt dabei mit seinem vorderen Ende 11 am hinteren Ende 12 der Kunststoffhülse 5 an.In the metallic cartridge case 1 with the conical sleeve shoulder 2 and the sleeve neck 3, the plastic sleeve 5 with the integrally molded plastic projectile 6 is inserted from the rear end 4. After filling the propellant charge powder 7, the separate metallic base piece 8 with the igniter 9 is inserted into the rear end 4 of the cartridge case 1 and connected tightly and firmly to it via the groove 1o created by pinching. The base piece 8 rests with its front end 11 on the rear end 12 of the plastic sleeve 5.

Die Kunststoffhülse 5 mit Plastik-Geschoß 6 ist zum Beispiel aus Polyäthylen oder Polypropylen hergestellt. Sie und die Patronenhülse 1 sind vorzugsweise so aufeinander abgestimmt, daß deren Hals 3 mit seinem vorderen Rand, dem Hülsenmund 13, sich bis zum hinteren Ende 14 des Geschosses 6 erstreckt und mit diesem zumindest im wesentlichen bündig abschließt. Damit ist ein besonders glatter Abriß des Geschosses gewährleistet.The plastic sleeve 5 with a plastic bullet 6 is made, for example, of polyethylene or polypropylene. You and the cartridge case 1 are preferably matched to one another so that their neck 3 with its front edge, the sleeve mouth 13, extends to the rear end 14 of the projectile 6 and is at least substantially flush with it. This ensures a particularly smooth demolition of the projectile.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile liegen darin, daß ein den außenballistischen Anforderungen gerechtes Plastik-Geschoß in Verbindung mit einer Plastik-Hülse in fertigungstechnisch vergleichsweise einfacher und dennoch zuverlässiger Weise mit der metallischen Patronenhülse verbindbar ist und eine saubere Abtrennung des Geschosses am Hülsenmund erfolgt, wodurch eine gute Treffgenauigkeit erzielt wird. Weiterhin werden hierbei wie auch bei einer Obungspatrone mit Geschoßnachbildung beim Schuß keine Kunststoffteile vom Hals-/Schulterteil oder Treibladungspulverraum abgerissen, welche zum Beispiel die Waffenfunktion beeinträchtigen könnten.The advantages achieved by the invention are that a plastic bullet that meets the external ballistic requirements in connection with a plastic sleeve can be connected to the metallic cartridge case in a comparatively simple, yet reliable manner in terms of production technology, and the projectile is separated cleanly from the case mouth, thereby achieving good accuracy. Furthermore, as with an obstruction cartridge with a projectile replica, no plastic parts are torn off the neck / shoulder part or propellant powder space, which could impair the weapon function, for example.
