Abstract
Description
- Thie invention relates to a projectile and in particular to a smoke generating projectile or a smoke shell to generate smoke, for example, to break up a riot or to provide a screen for troops.
- At present various kinds of smoke generating projectiles are in use which can be thrown or shot from a gun.
- These projectiles have a tail member which guides the bomb to follow a certain trajectory.
- There are various constraints which have to be observed when designing the smoke generating projectile, for example, when the projectile is to be shot from a gun, the diameter has to be limited to a size of the gun barrel. The projectile has to remain intact on firing from the gun. It must also remain intact after impact with the ground, in order to give controlled rate of smoke emission. The projectile body must not distort when heat is transmitted by the burning smoke composition, which can be of the order of 1000°C. The projectile when shot from the gun, should also be capable of having a large variation of range, for example, between 50-750m. It is also important that the projectile body should be able to carry sufficient smoke composition to produce a screen which can last for a long period.
- The smoke composition should be such that a screen of dense smoke is produced.
- Presently, smoke generating projectiles are constructed out of aluminium alloy bodies for carrying smoke composition, and meets all the necessary requirements. However the current cost of producing such projectiles is high because a large proportion of time is contributed to labour-intensive machining of the aluminium alloy case. Each tail member of the projectile is also manufactured separately requiring further labour intensive machining.
- In the past, studies into cheaper methods of production have suggested that an injection-moulded plastic projectile body would significantly reduce the cost of production. Early tests carried out on plastic bodies have proved unsatisfactory. Each plastic body was deformed badly, the plastics melting due to the intense heat generated by the burning smoke composition.
Furthermore a rupture of the projectile body increased a burn rate of the smoke composition and thereby reduced a smoke emission period considerably. - The present invention allows the aforementioned disadvantages to be avoided to a very substantial extent, which still allow a projectile to be produced relatively cheaply.
- According to the present invention a smoke generating projectile for smoke dispertion into the atmosphere comprises a hollow member containing a charge, a tail member co-axial with the hollow member, a propellant cartridge holder including a delay block and a fuse co-axial with the tail member, the delay block being adjacent the charge, and an insulating sleeve between the charge and the hollow member, the hollow member being constructed of crosslinked plastic material.
- The coaxial tail member of the projectile may be of cylindrical shape and formed integrally with the hollow member of plastics material, or formed separately and attached thereto. Holes are provided around the periphery of the tail member to act as air intake holes. These provide stability for the projectile in flight. Additionally the holes may be angled downwards and inwards to improve the flow of air in the holes. Further, the holes may be angled sidewards as well as downwards to deflect the airflow at the intakes inducing a spin reaction on the projectile thus further improving its flight stability.
- It will be noted that this design of tail member can usefully be applied to projectiles other than smoke projectiles and according to another aspect of the invention a tail member for a projectile comprises a hollow cylinder having a plurality of air intake holes spaced over its surface.
- By way of example, one embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the accompanying diagrammetric drawings of which,
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a smoke projectile in accordance with the invention.
- Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view on line II-II in Figure 1.
- Figure 3 is a side view of one embodiment of the tail member.
- Figure 4 is a side view of another embodiment of the tail member.
- Figure 5 is a side section view of the angled holes on the tail member.
- Figure 6 is a side section view of frusto-conical holes on the tail member.
- With reference to Figures 1 and 2, a
smoke projectile 10 consists of a hollow cylindrical member 12 having an integratedtail member 14 at one end of the hollow cylindrical member 12. The hollow cylindrical member 12 also contains acharge 30 in acharge chamber 31, aninsulating sleeve 35, adelay fuse 32 and anexplosive cartridge 40. Agroove 23 formed on a perimeter of the hollow cylindrical member 12 accommodates an obturatingring 24 and a plurality ofholes 26 are formed on the cylindrical member 12 for smoke emission. - An
insulating sleeve 35 is slidably positioned into the hollow cylindrical member 12 from the end, remote from thetail member 14 end, until it comes to rest against a step bore 36. The length of the sleeve is such that it forms a barrier between thecharge 30 and the cylindrical wall 11. - The
charge 30 is in a form of a cylindrical pellet and is made of a smoke generating composition which preferably has a relatively low burning temperature, easy to ignite and produces a dense smoke screen. Thecharge 30 is of such a dimension so as to fit tightly inside theinsulating sleeve 35. The hollow cylindrical member 12 is sealed at one end, by anend cap 16 which retains thecharge 30 and thesleeve 35 and prevents ingress of moisture. Theend cap 16 is retained in position to the cylindrical wall 11 by fastening means 18. Each fastening means 18 is arranged so that it does not project beyond the cylindrical wall 11. - A
propellant cartridge holder 40 is in a form of a hollow cylinder and is co-axially arranged with thetail member 14. Thepropellant cartridge holder 40 has a circular extension 43 on the perimeter which coincides with astep bore 38. Thepropellant cartridge holder 40 is slidable in the bore 42 and is secured to the hollow cylindrical member 12 by fastening means 44. Adelay fuse 32 is of conventional pyrotechnic compositon, and is mounted in an axial channel in acylindrical delay block 34. Thecylindrical delay block 34 is adjacent thesmoke generating charge 30 and is secured within thepropellant cartridge holder 40. Thedelay block 34, may be made of light metal, preferably aluminium. Thedelay block 34 also protect thedelay fuse 32 to some extent from atmosphere moisture. Formed on a periphery of thepropellant cartridge holder 40 is a plurality ofholes 46. The reason for these holes will become apparent later. Thecartridge holder 40 contains apropellant charge 48 suitably pierced so as to ignite thedelay fuse 32. A conventionalpercussion primer cap 50 is mounted at rear end of thepropellant cartridge holder 40. Acambric disc 52 and apriming square plate 54 are situated between thecharge 30 and thedelay fuse 32. -
Smoke emission holes 26 in the hollow cylindrical member 12 are positioned adjacent thecambric disc 52 so that smoke starts to emit as soon as thecharge 30 is ignited. Theholes 26 can be plugged during storage with mastik to avoid ingress of moisture affecting thecharge 30. The plugs, during use, are forced out fromholes 26 by build up of pressure in thecharge chamber 32 by burning smoke composition. - The
tail member 14 has a plurality ofair intake holes 20 spaced over its surface. These take in the airflow over the surface of the projectile and control and stabilise the tails's relative position during flight. As can be seen from Fig 3 theholes 20 may be positioned around a single circumference of the cylinder or, as in Fig 4, around more than one circumference. As shown in fig 3 theholes 20 may be angled downwards and inwards to improve the air intake. Theholes 20 may be any shape including round, oval, slit shaped rectangular triagular. As shown in Fig 6 the holes may be frustro-conical with the narrow and outwards. Furthermore theholes 20 may be angled sideways to cause the airflow to deflect intake holes and causes a "spinning reaction on the projectile thus further improving its flight stability. The holes may be angled downwards and sideways as shown in Fig 2. - The
tail member 14 may be integral with the hollow member 12, or it may be constructed separately attached by any fastening means such as a screw-thread or slip fit and retaining screw. - In use, the
propellant charge 48 by which ejection of the smoke generating projectile 10 from the gun is effected, also ignites thepyrotechnic delay fuse 32. The projectile is guided along a trajectory by thetail member 14. After a short period, thecambric disc 52 and priming square 54 are ignited, which ignites thecharge 30. The smoke emitted by thecharge 30 travel through the hollowcylindrical delay block 34 and is discharged through theholes 46 mentioned above, and the rear end of thepropellant cartridge holder 40. Smoke emission also occurs throughholes 26 when the mastik plugs are forced out by the build up of pressure in thecharge chamber 31. - In the particular embodiment tested and described, a cross-linked low density Polyethylene material for the hollow cylindrical member 12 and the
integral tail member 14 was used. The cross linking of the LPD material to improve the materials' thermal properites, was achieved by exposing it to gamma irradiation for a sufficient period. - Although low density polyethylene was used in the embodiment described, other plastic materials which can have their thermal properties improved by cross-linking can be used. The plastic material chosen should also have good mechanical properties, by dimensionally stable, easy to mould, and have resistance against chemical or solvent attack. Cross-linking of the plastic mateials can also be achieved by other processes, for example, the use of cross-linking additive agents.
- The insulating
sleeve 35 was made from 4mm thickness paper marketed under the trade name 'Koawool'. The 'Koawool' paper composition is Aluminium Oxide (Al₂O₃) 50-53%, Silicon dioxide (SiO₂) 47-50% leachable chlorides 50ppm and 6% acrylic polmer binder and has a density of 340 Kgm³ & tensile strength of 750 MPa. In the tests, the 'Kaowool' insulatingsleeve 34 allowed smoke to be emitted from theholes 26. Other materials for the insulatingsleeve 35 are possible which can withstand high temperatures and have a low thermal conductivity. - In an alternative embodiment, it is possible that the smoke composition pellet can be wrapped in an insulating sleeve material of the kind described. A separate insulating sleeve is not then required.
- The integral hollow cylindrical member 12 and
tail member 14 may suitably be manufactured by an injection moulding process. It is also, of course, possible for the hollow cylindrical member 12 and thetail member 14 to be manufactured separately. - In a further embodiment, the
tail member 14 is replaced by a tubular member having a plurality of fins equi-spaced around a periphery of the tubular member. However, the tubular member and the diameter projected by fins should not be greater than the maximum diameter of the hollow cylindrical member 12. The tubular member can either be attached or integral with the hollow cylindical member 12. It is possible that thepropellant cartridge holder 40 can be tubular member. - The smoke generating projectile is not restricted to a particular shape. The hollow member 12, for example, may be tapered. The member 12, for example, may have a converging taper towards the tail member, and the
tail member 14 can have a diverging taper away from the hollow member 12. It will, of course, be realised that the insulating sleeve and the charge in the hollow member will also be tapered accordingly. - The
end cap 16 may, for example, be shaped to have a converging taper away from the member 12. The smoke generating projectile with the taper end cap is suitable for use on soft ground where after the projectile impacts onto the ground, the tapered end cap penetrae the ground and allow the bomb to remain vertical for even smoke emission, particularly, from the smoke emission holes 26. A hollw end cap may be used, made of plastics material and filled, for example, with lead material to adjust the centre of gravity of the projectile. - It should be realised that the
holes 26, through which smoke emission can also occur, are not essential, and that all smoke emission can occur through theholes 46 and the rear end of thepropellant cartridge holder 40. It is also, of course, possible that a plurarity of equi-spaced tubes concentrically positioned about the axis of the smoke bomb and extending between thecharge chamber 31 and passing between thetail member 14 andpropellant cartridge holder 40 may be provided for smoke emission. The tubes may be provided with plugs to prevent ingress of moisture into thecharge chamber 31. In use, the build up of pressure in thecharge chamber 31 will force out the plugs.
