Abstract
A wad (10) for cartridges, for example for hunting or competition, comprises a lower portion (11) suitable to rest on the propellant powder of the cartridge, an upper portion (13) on which rests the projectile of the cartridge, and an intermediate portion (12), arranged to join the lower portion (11) and upper portion (13). The wad (10) comprises at least one sealing element (20), suitable to form a seal against the escape of the combustion gases generated by the propellant powder, placed in correspondence of the upper portion (13). Advantageously, the wad (10) is made of paper so as to be environmentally friendly and, at the same time, provide excellent shooting performance.
Description
- This invention relates to a wad for hunting or competition cartridges.
- As is known, a shotgun cartridge comprises a case inside of which are housed the projectile, the propellant powder and the wadding.
- The conventional shotgun cartridges on the market use lead or lead alloy, shot since this material has the ideal characteristics of hardness, weight and workability required for obtaining good performance when firing. However, these cartridges have considerable drawbacks from the environmental point of view, since lead is considered very polluting and harmful to the health of wildlife and responsible for poisoning problems.
- At present, there is therefore a trend to reduce or even ban the use of lead in various hunting and sporting situations, and to seek alternative materials, such as iron, glass or wood, in order to produce the most environmentally-friendly cartridges possible.
- As is known, one of the essential elements of the cartridge, in particular if of the shot projectile type, is the wadding. This has the purpose of transferring the thrust provided by the pressure of the gas, generated by the combustion of gunpowder, to the mass of the shot.
- Cartridges with plastic wads are known on the market, which provide good performance in both shooting and hunting situations. However, even these cartridges have problems from the environmental point of view, since the plastic wad is fired together with the projectiles and remains in the environment.
- There are also cartridges with felt wads known on the market that, if on the one hand solve the problem of environmental pollution, they perform poorly because they do not contain the gases that are released with the explosion well.
- In the cartridge industry, in particular for target shooting guns or for hunting use, there is thus a need to produce cartridges that are both environmentally friendly and that provide good shooting performance.
- The purpose of this invention is to resolve the problems of the known art, taking into account the needs of the industry.
- This purpose is achieved by a wad according to claim 1 and by a cartridge according to
claim 10. - The characteristics and advantages of the wad and cartridge according to this invention will be apparent from the following description, given by way of nonlimiting example, in accordance with the accompanying figures, in which:
-
Figures 1 and 2 show examples of a cartridge according to this invention and, in particular, a cartridge equipped with the wad ofFigure 3 and a cartridge equipped with the wad ofFigure 5 ; -
Figures 3 and4 respectively show a side view and a rear axonometric view of a wad according to this invention, in an embodiment variant; -
Figures 5 and6 respectively show a side view and a rear axonometric view of a wad according to this invention, in a further embodiment variant; -
Figures 7 ,8 and9 show respectively a side view, an axonometric rear view, an axonometric front view of a wad according to this invention, in a still further embodiment variant; -
Figures 10 ,11 and12 show respectively a side view, an axonometric rear view, an axonometric front view of a wad according to this invention, in a still further embodiment variant. - With reference to the accompanying figures, and in particular to
Figures 1 and 2 , there is shown acartridge 100 for shotgun. Thecartridge 100 comprises acasing 101, for example substantially cylindrical and made of plastic, provided at one end with acase head 102 inside which theprimers 103 for the ignition of the propellant powders are housed. - Preferably, in the
case head 102 an annular reinforcement orbase wad 106 is inserted, which realises the mechanical junction betweencase head 102 andcasing 101 and constitutes a cavity for housing thepropellant powder 105. - The
casing 101, thecase head 102 and theprimers 103 constitute the case, suitable to contain the loading elements. - The
cartridge 100 thus comprises the case inside of which are housed the projectile 104 (such as a bullet or a plurality of shot pellets), the propellant powder 105 (or gunpowder) and thewad 10. - Preferably, the
cartridge 100 is of the shot pellet type. - With the percussion of the
primers 103, a dart of fire is caused that ignites thepropellant powder 105, which, burning, produces gas at high pressure which presses theprojectile 104, causing it to exit the case from the opposite end with respect to thecase head 102, at an accelerating speed in the shotgun barrel. - The
wad 10 serves as an elastic gasket seal with respect to the explosion gases that develop at the moment of firing and therefore must meet the requirements of compactness and impermeability to gases, deformability, elasticity, light weight and minimal friction against the walls of the bore of the barrel. - With reference to the accompanying figures, and in particular to
Figures 5 to 12 , various embodiment variants are shown ofwad 10 according to this invention. - The

Figure 3 , thesloping profile 114 is inclined outwardly in such a way that, once thewad 10 is inserted (as shown inFigure 1 ), between thecasing 101 and the profile 114 achamber 115 is formed suitable to receive, at least partially, thepropellant powder 105. - Preferably, the
sloping profile 114 terminates with anedge 117 having an external diameter corresponding to the internal diameter of thecasing 101 in such a way that, once thewad 10 is inserted (as shown inFigure 1 ), thepropellant powder 105 is confined below it. - In the embodiment variant of
Figure 5 , thefirst profile 112 has an external diameter corresponding to the internal diameter of thecasing 101 in such a way that, once thewad 10 is inserted (as shown inFigure 2 ), thepropellant powder 105 is confined below it. - In the embodiment variant of
Figure 5 , thesloping profile 114 is inclined internally in such a way that, once thewad 10 is inserted (as shown inFigure 2 ), between thecasing 101 and the profile 114 achamber 125 is formed suitable to receive the combustion gas. - As shown in
Figures 1 and 2 , once thewad 10 is inserted in thecasing 101 of thecartridge 100, thepropellant powder 105 is confined in correspondence of and/or below thelower portion 11. In particular, in the variant ofFigure 2 , thepropellant powder 105 is completely confined below thebottom portion 11. In the variant ofFigure 1 , thepropellant powder 105 is also housed in achamber 115. - The
intermediate portion 12 comprises adamper device 121, or springing device, suitable to protect the projectile (and in particular the column of shot pellets) from the violent shock caused by the explosion of thepropellant powder 105 and reduce the annoyance due to the recoil of the weapon when fired. - Preferably, the
springing device 121 is an internally hollow cylinder, and therefore the damping function is obtained with the cushion of air inside it. In a variant, thespringing device 121 is in the form of a honeycomb or bellows. - Preferably, the
intermediate portion 12 has a smaller external diameter with respect to the internal diameter of thecasing 101 in such a way that, once thewad 10 is inserted (as shown inFigures 1 and 2 ), between thecasing 101 and theintermediate portion 12 there is formed achamber 115 suitable to receive the combustion gas. - The
upper portion 13 includes anupper wall 131 against which rests theprojectile 104, for example, the column of shot pellets. - The
upper portion 13 has an external diameter corresponding to the internal diameter of thecasing 101 in such a way that, once thewad 10 is inserted (as shown inFigure 2 ), the combustion gas is confined below it. - The
wad 10 comprises at least onesealing element 20 suitable to form a seal of the combustion gases, so as to transmit the thrust generated by thepropellant powder 105 to theprojectile 104 in an optimal way. Advantageously, thesealing element 20, under the thrust of the pressure generated by the combustion of the gunpowder, tends to enlarge, preventing the release of the pressure itself. - Preferably, the
wad 10 comprises asealing element 20 in correspondence of theupper portion 13, suitable to confine the combustion gases inside thechamber 125. This constructive choice prevents the excessive compression of the gunpowder that, as shown inFigure 1 is free to also occupy thechamber 115 and is better aerated. In addition, this constructive choice allows a first venting of the combustion gases in thechamber 125, thus leaving the gunpowder more time and more space to develop further combustion gases. - Advantageously, the
wad 10 comprises a further sealingelement 20 in correspondence of thelower portion 11, suitable to confine the combustion gas below thewad 10. - In particular, in the variant of
Figure 3 , the wad comprises only onesealing element 20, in correspondence of theupper portion 13. In the variant ofFigure 5 , the wad comprises twosealing elements 20, one in correspondence of theupper portion 13 and one in correspondence with thelower portion 11. - Preferably, the

lower portion 11 of thewad 10, which is to say in the direction of thepropellant powder 105. - Preferably, the annular lip has a decreasing thickness in the direction of the
lower portion 11 of thewad 10, which is to say in the direction of thepropellant powder 105. - In the embodiment variants shown in
Figures 7 to 12 , the wad comprises, above theupper portion 11, acontainer 30 suitable to contain theprojectile 104, and in particular the column of shot pellets. Thecontainer 30 is preferably a thin-walled cylinder. Advantageously, thecontainer 30 prevents the shot from rubbing against the walls of the barrel, in this way limiting the deformation.

container 30 comprises at least two, preferably four, yieldingelements 32, uniformly distributed along the circumference of thecontainer 30. - The yielding
elements 32 are placed at least in correspondence of the upper portion of thecontainer 30 and develop in the longitudinal direction with respect to thewad 10. - Preferably, the yielding
elements 32 are notches, grooves, weakenings, through-holes or slits. - Advantageously, the presence of the yielding
elements 32 allows thecontainer 30 to open just outside of the shotgun barrel so as to disperse the shot outwards and enlarge the burst pattern within a short distance. Advantageously, thewad 10 with thecontainer 30 with yielding elements (as inFigure 8 ) allows obtaining acartridge 100 particularly suitable for hunting, which assumes short-distance shots and very brief shots (such as for hunting woodcock in the woods). - Advantageously, the
wad 10 is made of paper. This choice allows obtaining a wad completely biodegradable and environmentally friendly. - Advantageously, the
wad 10 is made of paper by industrial moulding. This choice allows obtaining awad 10 that is accurate, smooth and precise in the predefined dimensions, minimising pressure waste and speed differences between one finished cartridge and the other, in the same loading batch. - The purpose of this invention is also a
