Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne un projectile pour arme à feu. Elle s'applique à tous les calibres d'armes de poing et d'infanterie.The invention relates to a projectile for a firearm. It applies to all calibers of handguns and infantry.
Les projectiles classiques comprennent un noyau constitué en tout ou en partie de plomb et logé à l'intérieur d'une enveloppe métallique.Conventional projectiles include a core made wholly or partly of lead and housed inside of a metallic envelope.
Il est bien connu que le tir soutenu dans les stands de
tir, même à l'air libre, produit une concentration
anormale de métaux lourds (par exemple baryum et plomb)
dans l'air et dans l'environnement de ces zones de tir.
Cette concentration de métaux lourds est nuisible à la
santé, en particulier à la santé des moniteurs, et elle
porte en outre atteinte au système écologique. Une
telle situation résulte du dégagement de métaux lourds
lors du tir, lequel phénomène a trois origines :
Des munitions d'entraínement sans métaux lourds sont commercialisées par plusieurs fabricants. Elles permettent de réduire la pollution par les résidus de l'amorce. Cependant ces munitions d'entraínement ne reproduisent pas des conditions de tir réelles car leur masse insuffisante ne permet pas de faire fonctionner l'arme comme avec des munitions de service, ce qui est préjudiciable à l'efficacité de l'entraínement.Heavy metal free ammunition is marketed by several manufacturers. They allow reduce pollution by primer residue. However, this training ammunition does not reproduce no real shooting conditions because their mass insufficient to operate the weapon as with service ammunition, which is detrimental to the effectiveness of training.
Par WO-A-9200499 qui forme le préambule de la revendication indépendante 1, est connu un projectile non polluant pour arme à feu à canon lisse comprenant un noyau constitué d'un mélange de matière plastique et de particules de métal. ce noyau est associé à un empennage destiné à stabiliser le projectile lors d'un tir. Dans ce projectile connu, on recherche un noyau ayant une masse volumique la plus élevée possible et un tel noyau ne peut être utilisé dans un projectile à stabilisation par rotation car le projectile obtenu ne présenterait pas les propriétés balistiques requises pour assurer un entraínement efficace qui reproduit les conditions de tir réelles.WO-A-9200499 which forms the preamble of independent claim 1, is known a non-polluting projectile for a smooth-barreled firearm comprising a formed core a mixture of plastic and particles of metal. this nucleus is associated with a tail intended to stabilize the projectile during a shooting. In this known projectile, we are looking for a nucleus with a highest possible density and such a core cannot be used in a stabilization projectile by rotation because the projectile obtained would not present not the ballistic properties required to ensure effective training which reproduces the conditions of actual shooting.
L'invention a pour but de proposer un projectile non polluant pour arme à feu à canon rayé, qui ne contient pas de métaux lourds, qui réduit ou supprime l'émission d'autres métaux dans les zones de tir, et qui reproduit les conditions de tir réelles comme avec des munitions de service classiques.The object of the invention is to provide a non-projectile pollutant for rifled barrel firearm, which does not contain no heavy metals, which reduces or eliminates the emission other metals in the shooting areas, and that reproduces the actual shooting conditions as with ammunition of classic service.
Ce but est atteint grâce à l'invention par un projectile non polluant pour arme à feu à canon rayé, comprenant un noyau constitué d'un mélange de matière plastique et de particules de métal, dans lequel le noyau est au moins partiellement entouré d'une enveloppe solidarisée au noyau de manière à assurer la cohésion de l'ensemble et à permettre la prise de rayures assurant la stabilité du projectile par rotation imprimée par les rayures du canon de l'arme, et dans lequel le noyau contient un pourcentage de charge en métal compatible avec une masse minimum assurant le fonctionnement de l'arme. This object is achieved thanks to the invention by a projectile non-polluting for rifled barrel firearm, comprising a core made of a mixture of plastic and metal particles, in which the core is at least partially surrounded by an integral envelope to the nucleus so as to ensure the cohesion of the whole and allow the taking of scratches ensuring the stability of the projectile by rotation printed by the gun barrel scratches, and in which the nucleus contains a compatible percentage of metal charge with a minimum mass ensuring the functioning of tear.
L'avantage majeur du projectile suivant l'invention est qu'il constitue une munition d'entraínement non polluante qui garde à l'arme un fonctionnement normal et qui permet conserver de bonnes propriétés balistiques compatibles avec les chargements standards, en particulier le maintien d'une impulsion de recul, assurant ainsi un entraínement efficace. Un avantage suplémentaire est que le projectile suivant l'invention peut être fabriqué en utilisant les machines existantes.The major advantage of the projectile according to the invention is that it constitutes a non-polluting training ammunition which keeps the weapon functioning normally and which keeps good ballistic properties compatible with standard loads, in particular maintaining a reversing pulse, ensuring thus an effective training. An additional advantage is that the projectile according to the invention can be manufactured using existing machinery.
L'invention est exposée dans ce qui suit à l'aide des dessins joints.The invention is set out in the following using the attached drawings.
La figure 1 représente une coupe dans un projectile classique.Figure 1 shows a section in a projectile classic.
La figure 2 représente, en coupe, un exemple de mode d'exécution d'un projectile suivant l'invention.Figure 2 shows, in section, an example of mode execution of a projectile according to the invention.
Se reportant à la figure 1, un projectile classique
comprend une enveloppe métallique 1, en laiton par
exemple, renfermant un noyau 2 constitué en tout ou en
partie de plomb.Referring to Figure 1, a conventional projectile
includes a metal casing 1, made of brass by
example, containing a
Dans un projectile suivant l'invention, par contre,
dont un mode d'exécution est représenté en figure 2, le
noyau 11 est constitué d'un mélange, amalgame, alliage
ou autre, d'au moins deux matières, par exemple une matière
plastique ou un métal léger, chargé de poussières,
de grains ou autres, de matériau plus lourd tel
que le fer. Une enveloppe 12 entoure complètement ou
partiellement le noyau afin d'assurer un bon fonctionnement
dans le canon et une cohésion suffisante du projectile
en cible.In a projectile according to the invention, on the other hand,
an embodiment of which is represented in FIG. 2, the
L'enveloppe peut être métallique (par exemple en laiton) et être solidarisée au noyau par un moyen connu quelconque, par exemple par déformation mécanique, placage électrolytique ou autres. L'enveloppe peut également être constituée d'une matière organique chargée ou non pour en améliorer les propriétés mécaniques, et solidarisée au noyau par un moyen connu quelconque, par exemple par assemblage, pistolage, trempage ou autres.The envelope may be metallic (for example brass) and be joined to the nucleus by a known means any, for example by mechanical deformation, plating electrolytic or others. The envelope can also consist of charged organic matter or not to improve its mechanical properties, and secured to the nucleus by any known means, by example by assembly, spraying, soaking or others.
La construction d'un tel projectile doit respecter certaines conditions :
- le pourcentage de charge en métal doit être compatible avec une masse minimum assurant le fonctionnement des armes,
- la construction de l'enveloppe doit assurer la cohésion de l'ensemble et le bon fonctionnement lors de la phase de balistique intérieure (entre autres, prise des rayures assurant la rotation du projectile).
- the percentage of metal charge must be compatible with a minimum mass ensuring the functioning of weapons,
- the construction of the envelope must ensure the cohesion of the assembly and the proper functioning during the interior ballistics phase (inter alia, taking of the scratches ensuring the rotation of the projectile).
D'autre part, pour assurer un entraínement efficace, le
fonctionnement normal des armes doit être maintenu. En
première approche, le fonctionnement automatique ou
semi-automatique des armes dépend du maintien d'une
impulsion.
- Ir =
- impulsion de recul
- Vo =
- vitesse à la bouche
- m =
- masse projectile
- fc =
- fonction de la charge (masse de poudre).
- Ir =
- reverse pulse
- Vo =
- mouth speed
- m =
- projectile mass
- fc =
- load function (mass of powder).
La construction de projectiles conformément à l'invention permet de tenir compte de ces facteurs. Construction of projectiles in accordance with the invention allows you to take these factors into account.
A titre d'exemple, nullement limitatif, dans un calibre 9 x 19 mm, un noyau en polyéthylène chargé de 50 % en volume (soit 80 % en masse) de particules de fer, placé dans une enveloppe de laiton, donne une masse totale de la balle de ± 5 g, qui assure, lorsqu'elle est propulsée à une vitesse correcte et réalisable, un bon fonctionnement des armes prévues pour ce calibre. Ce noyau pourrait être facilement réalisé par extrusion d'un barreau, découpé en lopins, ceux-ci étant frappés ensuite dans l'enveloppe.By way of example, in no way limiting, in a caliber 9 x 19 mm, a polyethylene core loaded with 50% volume (i.e. 80% by mass) of iron particles, placed in a brass envelope, gives a total mass of ± 5 g bullet, which ensures, when propelled at a correct and achievable speed, proper operation weapons provided for this caliber. This core could be easily made by extruding a bar cut into pieces, which are then struck in the envelope.
Un autre mode de production consiste en une injection de l'amalgame matière plastique - fer directement dans l'enveloppe.Another production method consists of injection plastic amalgam - iron directly in the envelope.
Ces exemples sont donnés à titre non limitatif pour illustrer des modes de fabrication compatibles avec les installations de cartoucherie actuelles.These examples are given without limitation for illustrate manufacturing methods compatible with current cartridge factory.
Il est évident que l'invention n'est nullement limitée aux exemples et illustrations présentées. De nombreuses modifications pourraient y être apportées, sans sortir du cadre de l'invention : par exemple, le noyau et/ou l'enveloppe pourraient être constitués de plusieurs pièces montées et solidarisées d'une manière quelconque.It is obvious that the invention is in no way limited to the examples and illustrations presented. Many modifications could be made, without going out of the scope of the invention: for example, the core and / or the envelope could consist of several parts assembled and secured in any way.
