Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of combustible ammunition. More specifically, the invention relates to a socket element with a combustible tube as well as a semi-combustible socket munition incorporating this element. The invention also relates to a method for loading such semi-combustible ammunition.
  • the metal casing has certain advantages in terms of robustness and sealing at the rear of the shell at the time of firing, it nevertheless has many disadvantages.
  • one solution consists in using fully combustible sockets.
  • the combustible case has the double advantage of participating in the combustion of the propellant charge and, in doing so, of providing additional energy and of leaving, after combustion, no solid volume containing toxic gases.
  • it is widely used in modern ammunition with fully combustible casings.
  • the latter have, compared to the sockets metal, a drawback in terms of sealing when firing at the rear of the shell.
  • the combustible sockets do not provide, by the very fact that they destroy themselves at the time of the firing, of additional tightness to that presented by the device for closing the breech.
  • the closing device In conventional weapon systems, the closing device generally provides an effective seal up to 3 ⁇ 108 Pa, ie 3000 bars. This limit is perfectly acceptable for most traditional shells and allows the use of a fully combustible cartridge case. However, this limit is insufficient for certain shells such as the arrow shells intended to pierce armor and which must be fired at higher pressures, which can reach 7 ⁇ 108 Pa or 7000 bars. In this case the metal sleeve has the advantage, if one does not want to modify and make the breech of the weapon system heavier, to bring by its metal base the essential complement of sealing.
  • the semi-combustible sockets constituted on the one hand by a combustible element in the form of a case and by a metal base.
  • the combustible case participates in the combustion of the propellant charge by providing additional energy and avoiding the retention of a large quantity of toxic gases, while the metal base ensures effective sealing at the rear of the projectile even at very high pressures.
  • the metal base ensures effective sealing at the rear of the projectile even at very high pressures.
  • the combustible element is simply a combustible tube, advantageously obtained by spiraling of combustible paper, the junction with the metal base being made by means of a complementary bottom piece, as described for example in the addition 87,428 to French patent 1,349,818.
  • the fuel element comprises both a tubular part and a bottom which can be embedded directly in the metal base.
  • Such a combustible element is preferably obtained by felting from an aqueous slurry containing the materials composing the element. combustible.
  • the fixing of the fuel element to the metal base is done by means of a fixing part, in general a fixing ring, coming to wedge the bottom of the element fuel around a hollow internal neck carried by the metal base.
  • This solution is practical but necessarily implies that the interior of the fuel element is cleared at the time of fixing the metal base to allow the introduction and positioning of said fixing part. Consequently, in the semi-combustible sockets currently known, the propellant powder can only be introduced after the metal base has been put in place.
  • correct ignition of large caliber ammunition requires the presence of an ignition tube which is an extension of said hollow neck carried by the metal base and which, for obvious safety reasons, should preferably be placed in place before the introduction of the powder.
  • the object of the present invention is precisely to eliminate the difficulties set out above by proposing a socket element with a combustible tube which can be loaded with powder from the bottom after the shell and the ignition tube have been installed, or of the reservation of the latter but before installation of the metal base so as to allow easy and automated manufacture of semi-combustible munitions with arrow shells.
  • the invention therefore relates to a combustible tube socket element comprising in particular a combustible tube and a bottom having a central opening, characterized in that said bottom comprises, next to said central opening, a separate lateral opening and in that is secured to said bottom a hollow part which enters said bushing element through said central opening without closing said lateral opening and which comprises over its entire height a central recess delimited by an internal wall on which are provided means for fixing of a separate part inside said central recess.
  • said bottom consists of an elastic material chosen from the group consisting of polymerization products of chloroprene, neoprene, or mixtures based on ethylene and propylene and comprises a lip d '' sealing.
  • the invention also relates to an ammunition comprising in particular a semi-combustible shell, a projectile and an ignition tube.
  • said semi-combustible socket is constituted by a socket element according to the invention and by a metal base which carries a central end piece which penetrates into the recess of said hollow part and which comprises complementary fixing means of those carried by said hollow part.
  • the invention also relates to a method of assembling a munition according to the invention characterized in that, after having reserved the space necessary for the ignition tube inside said element and having fixed the projectile to the end of the combustible tube opposite said bottom, said element is filled with propellant powder thanks to said lateral opening and in that only after the metal base is put in place.
  • the ignition tube can thus be put in place after loading and fitting of the metal base, which allows transport and storage of the un-primed ammunition.
  • FIG. 1 shows, in partial section, the lower part of a semi-combustible socket 1 according to the invention.
  • This socket is mainly constituted by a metal base 2, an element 3 with a combustible tube and by a hollow part 4.

  • the end piece 24 enters the recess 14 of the part 4, its frustoconical end 25 repels the elastic bars 22 and 23 which resume, after complete insertion of the endpiece, their initial position by being inserted into the groove 26 of the base, then preventing any withdrawal of the latter, the groove 26 of the end piece 24 thus constituting a fixing means complementary to those carried by the hollow part 4.
  • the metal base 2 includes a flange 27 terminated by a seal 28 coming to bear against the combustible tube 6.
  • a metal washer 29 is advantageously placed between the bottom 7 and the base 2.
  • FIG. 4 The lower part of a semi-combustible sleeve 101 according to a preferred variant of the invention has been shown in FIG. 4, in partial layer.
  • This socket is mainly constituted by a metal base 102, by a socket element 103 with a combustible tube and by a hollow part 104.
