Abstract

The invention relates to small-shot cartridges containing biodegradable separators. Depending on the respective intended utilization, small-shot cartridges contain either scaling disks or cup-shaped wads that are referred to as separators and that separate the charge from the pellets. The cup-shaped wads usually consist of plastic, for example LDPE (low density polyethlene) or similar materials. The scaling disks may consist of plastic, but also of other materials, for example of cardboard, felt, fibers or combinations thereof. These materials may lead to sealing problems and may impair interior ballistics, the trajectory of the projectile in the barrel, and ignition and combustion processes. The separators are ejected from the barrel by the impact of the shot and are left behind during hunting in the countryside or during shooting in the shooting gallery, especially the non-biodegradable plastic materials constitute an environmental hazard. According to the invention, the separator (1) is therefore produced from a non-brittle, biodegradable material that is resistant to the temperatures of the propellants while it does not impair the function of the separator and that is completely biodegradable when stored under the conditions of comprising.

Je nach dem vorgesehenen Verwendungszweck enthalten Schrotpatronen entweder Dichtscheiben oder Becherpfropfen, die als sogenannte Zwischenmittel bezeichnet die Ladung von dem Schrot trennen. Die Becherpfropfen bestehen in der Regel aus Kunststoff, beispielsweise LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene) oder vergleichbaren Werkstoffen. Die Dichtscheiben können statt aus Plastik auch aus anderen Werkstoffen bestehen, beispielsweise aus Pappe, Filz, Fasern oder Kombinationen derselben. Solche Werkstoffe können zu Dichtproblemen und damit zu Störungen der Innenballistik, der Schussentwicklung im Lauf, der Zündungsund Verbrennungsvorgänge, führen.Depending on the intended use contain shotgun cartridges either gaskets or cupplugs, called as Intermediate means to separate the load from the shot. The Cupplugs are usually made of plastic, such as LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene) or comparable materials. The Sealing discs can be made of other materials instead of plastic consist, for example, cardboard, felt, fibers or combinations the same. Such materials can lead to sealing problems and thus Disturbances of the internal ballistics, the shot development in the course, the ignition and Combustion processes, lead.

The solution of the problem is achieved in that the intermediate means, the Sealing disk according to the invention and the cup plug according to the invention, are made of biodegradable, non-brittle materials, which are the Temperature load of the propellant gases without affecting the function Destruction tolerated and when stored under Kompostierbedingungen are completely biodegradable and also a shaping get an optimal seal against the hot gases of the Cause propellant charge.

Die biologisch abbaubaren Werkstoffe der Zwischenmittel, beispielsweise der Kunststoff BAK der Firma BAYER, ermöglichen vorteilhaft einen Abbau in der Natur durch Verrotten in einer angemessen Zeit. Bei der Verwendung auf Schießständen ist eine Entsorgung mit dem Hausmüll oder eine Kompostierung möglich. Der Kunststoff kann beispielsweise durch biologisch unbedenkliche Fasern wie Naturfasern, Kohlefasem, Glasfasem oder Mineralfasem, verstärkt werden.The biodegradable materials of the intermediate means, such as the Plastic BAK from the company BAYER, advantageously allow degradation in nature by rotting in an appropriate time. When used on shooting ranges Disposal with household waste or composting possible. Plastic For example, biologically harmless fibers such as natural fibers, Carbon fibers, Glasfasem or Mineralfasem be reinforced.

Die konstruktive Gestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Becherpfropfens mit verstärkten Lamellen ermöglicht einen optimalen Antrieb und eine saubere Führung der Schrotladung. Das Dämpfungsteil ist so gestaltet, dass eine gleichmäßige Kraftübertragung des Gasdrucks auf den Schrotkorb und damit auf die Schrotgarbe gewährleistet ist.The structural design of the cup-shaped plug according to the invention with reinforced Slats allow optimal drive and clean guidance of the Shotgun blast. The damping part is designed so that a uniform Power transmission of the gas pressure on the shotgun and thus on the shotgun is guaranteed.
