Abstract

498,114. Aerial warfare. CAPRONI, G. Jan. 31, 1938, No. 3039. Convention date, Feb. 26, 1937. [Class 9 (ii)] An aerial barrage consists of a series of elements each comprising a balloon or balloons from which is suspended a contact bomb, said balloon or some of the balloons, exploding on reaching a certain predetermined height, known means being provided in the bomb for automatically exploding it at a predetermined altitude during its descent unless said bomb has previously exploded by contact with an aircraft. As shown, a bomb 1 is connected through a parachute 2 to a single balloon 3, which, on rising, gradually expands until it reaches the altitude at which the excess of the gas pressure inside it over the external air pressure causes it to explode. In descent, the parachute opens out causing the descent to take place at a comparatively slow velocity and the bomb, if it does not come into contact with an aircraft, explodes at a predetermined height from the ground. According to modifications, Figs. 2 and 3 (not shown), the parachute is dispensed with and the single balloon is replaced by several small balloons either grouped together or disposed in line vertically one above the other.
