Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a protective envelope which is particularly suitable for packaging ammunition with a combustible case intended to be housed in a container.
  • Ammunition with combustible casings requires special precautions with regard to their packaging for transport and storage. Indeed, it is advisable not only to effectively protect the shell from such ammunition which is a more delicate part than the shell of a conventional ammunition but also to prevent the penetration of the projectile part into the shell by inertia, for example in the case of an axial shock exerted on the front or on the rear of the ammunition.
  • packaging for a shell shell has also been described, involving the use of two molded half-shells, for example, made of polyurethane, the inner surface of which matches the exterior surfaces of the front part of the sleeve. and of the posterior part of the curved part of smaller diameter of the shell and to a portion of tube which surrounds only the half-shells and ensures their assembly.
  • Such packaging is not suitable for securely packaging a munition with a combustible case because it would not protect such ammunition against untoward effects which could result from an axial shock exerted on its ends.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a protective casing for ammunition with a combustible casing which protects the latter against any type of impact.
  • a protective casing for ammunition with combustible casing comprising two half-shells of expanded thermoplastic material assembled around the projectile part of the ammunition, the assembled half-shells having an external diameter at most substantially equal to the external diameter of the combustible case and being profiled so as to hang on support points present or provided on the projectile part and in which the half-shells are held assembled by a rigid protective tube threaded thereon and on the whole of the combustible socket which is characterized in that it comprises a mechanical locking means between the assembled half-shells and the protective tube preventing any relative axial movement between these elements.
  • the envelope according to the invention provides effective protection of the combustible case and of the projectile part against lateral impacts by means of the protective tube or of the protective tube - half-shell assembly against axial impacts by the secured connection between the assembled half-shells and the rigid protective tube.
  • the locking means can be arbitrary as long as it effectively prevents any relative axial displacement between the assembled half-shells and the protective tube under the effect of external stresses.
  • the locking means is constituted by at least one ring or an elastic ring at least partially surrounding the protection tube and equipped, on its internal face, with protuberances which axially block the half-pieces. shells assembled through openings provided in the wall of the protective tube.
  • the elastic ring ensuring mechanical locking between the protective tube and the assembled half-shells can be made of any suitable material, in particular plastic or metal.
  • the half-shells are generally symmetrical and have an internal profile which adapts to the external profile of the projectile part.
  • the half-shells must be designed in such a way that their internal profile has hooking points with support points present on the projectile part so that after assembly these half-shells cannot be moved axially by relative to the projectile part, the latter being blocked in the half-shells.
  • the projectile part does not have sufficient support points to ensure such blocking, it is possible to equip the projectile part with metallic or other inserts fixed to the projectile part so as to obtain appropriate support points.
  • the two half-shells can advantageously have attachment systems such as housings and complementary protuberance on their faces in contact during their assembly so as to facilitate correct positioning of these half-shells around the projectile part and to perfect their assembly.
  • the half-shells are generally produced by molding and in particular by injection molding from an expandable thermoplastic material such as an olefinic resin, a styrenic resin or a polyurethane resin. In general, it is preferred to use an injectable quality polyurethane resin.
  • the expandable resin chosen must have sufficient mechanical strength, rigidity and abrasion resistance to allow the molded half-shells to perform their function of blocking the projectile part of the ammunition.
  • the half-shells means such as housings in which the protuberances provided on the internal face of the elastic ring can come to lock later and this, in order to obtain perfect mechanical locking between the rigid protective tube and the assembled half-shells.
  • the assembled half-shells must have support points on the protective tube on their outer face distributed over their entire length.
  • the rigid protective tube whose internal diameter is substantially equal to the external diameter of the combustible case must have an impact resistance and sufficient bending resistance to guarantee protection of the ammunition. This tube extends over the entire length of the ammunition on which it is threaded after placing half-shells around the projectile part of the ammunition.
  • the rigid protective tube can advantageously be made from materials such as paper, cardboard, plastics and metals. It can be produced for bending, winding, extrusion, etc.
  • the ammunition with combustible casing equipped with the protective envelope according to the invention can advantageously be placed in an overpacking container for transport and storage.
  • a container is for example described in French patent application 2 317 625.
  • the protective envelope can however be used alone when storing ammunition with combustible casings.
  • the protective casing for a munition comprising a combustible case 1 and a projectile part 2 consists of two assembled half-shells 3, 4 made of expanded thermoplastic material, of a rigid protective tube 5 and an elastic ring 6 ensuring mechanical locking between the assembled half-shells 3, 4 and the rigid protective tube 5.
  • the assembled half-shells 3, 4 have an internal profile which adapts to the external profile of the projectile part 2 and includes attachment points 7, 8, 9 with support points of the projectile part which ensure blocking axial between the assembled half-shells 3, 4 and the projectile part 2.
  • the assembled half-shells 3, 4 have an external diameter at most equal to the external diameter of the sleeve and are provided on their external face with support points 10 , 11, 12, 13 on the rigid protective tube 5 threaded onto the assembled shells.
  • the rigid protective tube 5 of internal diameter substantially equal to the external diameter of the combustible sleeve 1 is made of cardboard, for example by winding.
  • the rigid protective tube 5 extends over practically the entire length of the munition.
  • This protective tube 5 threaded on the combustible sleeve 1 and on the assembled half-shells 3, 4, bears at its end on the base 14 of the combustible sleeve 1.
  • the internal wall of the protective tube 5 takes support on the partitions of the support points 10, 11, 12, 13 provided on the external face of the assembled half-shells 3, 4.
  • the mechanical locking preventing any relative axial displacement between the assembled half-shells 3, 4 and the rigid protection tube 5 is ensured by an elastic ring 6 partially surrounding the rigid protection tube 5 and equipped on its internal face with protuberances 15 which block axially the assembled half-shells 3, 4, through openings 16 provided in the wall of the rigid protective tube 5.
  • the partitions of the support points 11, 12 planned on the external face of the assembled half-shells 3, 4 determine a housing 17 which can receive the protuberances 15 provided on the elastic ring 6 so as to perfect the axial blocking of the half-shells.
  • the above-described protective envelope is particularly suitable for packaging ammunition with combustible casing, it is obvious that this protective envelope can also be used for packaging conventional ammunition with non-combustible cartridge case.
