Definitions

  • the invention relates to a projectile, in particular a subcaliber arrowhead, with a resistance-stabilizing, conically shaped tail unit with a frusto-conical recess.
  • Subcaliber projectiles in practice have a sabot for pulling the projectile through the weapon barrel and thus for transmitting power from the sabot to the projectile.
  • Such a sabot is for example from the DE 43 30 417 C2 known. It comprises a segmented, essentially hollow-cylindrical guide cage and a drive element arranged on the rear side on the guide cage.
  • the drive element is formed by a metal plate which has substantially the contour of the frustoconical recess of the tail and has a relatively small through hole to ignite the pressure-initiatable, rear side arranged in the projectile tracer set when shooting the projectile.
  • a disadvantage of this known sabot are the relatively complex production of the drive element and the high weight (and thus the high Totlastanteil) of this drive element.
  • a sub-caliber shotgun projectile with a full-cone-shaped end region is known, which is arranged in a sabot, the rear side of a massive, disk-shaped metal plate containing as a driving element. This metal plate is screwed into a segmented, cylindrical guide cage.
  • this known drive element has a high weight and requires for connection to the guide cage a relatively high installation costs.
  • a sabot for a sub-caliber twist projectile comprising a guide cage and connected thereto, cup-shaped drive element.
  • the bottom of the drive element on a relatively thick wall thickness and has a through hole, so that the propellant gases can also act directly on the back flat end face of the projectile when firing the corresponding ammunition.
  • the side walls of the driving element extend over more than 20% of the length of the entire spiral projectile.
  • this cup-shaped drive element is relatively expensive to produce and has a high weight.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a way in which the drive element is easy to manufacture and has a lower weight than comparable known sabots.
  • the invention is based essentially on the idea that a driving element is arranged behind the projectile, which is structurally designed such that it pushes the projectile through a gun barrel or barrel and not as is drawn by a sabot from the barrel.
  • the drive element is formed only as a transverse to the longitudinal axis of acting only as a cage guide cage-shaped preferably metal plate, which is peripherally mounted in a ringnutenförmigen recess of the inner wall of the guide cage, wherein the disc-shaped metal plate has a central through hole whose diameter is as large as possible is smaller than the maximum diameter of the inner cone of the frustoconical recess of the tail.
  • the inclusion of such a built-pusher plate uses the gas pressure for the acceleration of the projectile in addition to the plate and drives the projectile through the barrel.
  • the guide cage thus only has the function of guiding the subcaliber and can be made lighter than conventional sabots. Especially with practice bullets, this means that lighter practice bullets can be offered.
  • the diameter of the through hole of the disc-shaped metal plate is to be chosen such that it is smaller than the maximum diameter of not Slotted frustoconical recess of the tail. This avoids that propellant charge gases can escape laterally through the slot-shaped slots when shooting the sabot projectile.
  • the disc-shaped metal plate has a tubular rear side for frictional connection with the sleeve cover, the neck is overmolded with the material of the sleeve cover.
  • a projectile which is, for example, a 120 mm training projectile, which can be fired from a tank cannon.
  • the projectile comprises a subcaliber arrowhead 2, for example made of steel, and a cage 7 partially enclosing the arrowhead 2.
  • the arrowhead 2 has at its rear a conically shaped tail unit (conical structure) 4 with a frustoconical recess 5.
  • a tracer set 6 located in the rear end portion of the arrow level 2, a tracer set 6, which is preferably glued.
  • Fig.2 is a further embodiment of a projectile 1 'with inventive guide cage 7' shown.
  • the same reference numerals have been used.

Claims (6)

  1. Projectile sous-calibré (1; 1'), en particulier pour un projectile à flèche (2, 2'), avec un empennage de forme conique (4; 4') stabilisant la résistance, avec un évidement (5) en forme de tronc de cône, avec les caractéristiques suivantes:
    a) le projectile (1, 1') comprend un logement de guidage segmenté (7), essentiellement cylindrique creux, et un élément propulseur (8; 80) assemblé côté arrière au logement de guidage (7);
    b) l'élément propulseur (8; 80) se présente essentiellement sous la forme d'une plaque métallique en forme de disque s'étendant transversalement à l'axe longitudinal (9) du logement de propulsion (3; 3'), laquelle est montée du côté du bord dans un évidement (10) en forme de rainure annulaire de la paroi intérieure du logement de guidage (7);
    c) l'élément propulseur (8; 8') présente un trou passant central (11), dont le diamètre (12) est aussi grand que possible, mais plus petit que le diamètre maximal (13) de l'évidement en forme de tronc de cône (5) de l'empennage (4).
  2. Projectile selon la revendication 1, caractérisé en ce que, dans le cas d'un empennage (4') réalisé en forme d'empennage conique fendu, le diamètre (12) du trou passant (11) de l'élément propulseur en forme de disque (8') est plus petit que le diamètre maximal de la région non pourvue de fentes de l'évidement en forme de tronc de cône (5) de l'empennage (4).
  3. Projectile selon la revendication 1 ou 2, caractérisé en ce que l'élément propulseur en forme de disque (8; 8') présente, sur sa face tournée vers l'empennage (4; 4') du projectile correspondant, un évidement (14) destiné à recevoir en complémentarité de forme la région d'extrémité arrière de l'empennage (4; 4').
  4. Projectile selon l'une quelconque des revendications 1 à 3, caractérisé en ce que l'élément propulseur en forme de disque (8; 8') se compose d'un métal léger.
  5. Projectile selon l'une quelconque des revendications 1 à 4, caractérisé en ce que le logement de guidage cylindrique creux (7) se compose d'une matière plastique, de préférence d'un polyamide renforcé par des fibres.
  6. Projectile selon l'une quelconque des revendications 1 à 5, caractérisé en ce que l'élément propulseur en forme de disque (8') présente à l'arrière une pièce rapportée tubulaire (15), destinée à l'assemblage par complémentarité de force avec un capot de douille (16) destiné à l'assemblage du logement de guidage (3') avec une partie d'entraînement du projectile.
