Description

B. F. MOGRBARY. MEANS POP- GAREYING LIFE LINES.
APPLICATION FILED APR. 25, mm
1 IF/2,969 Patented Sept. 9, 1913.
a 4 I D ATTORNEYS c aim as ne and" desireb secure y T 'f mortar B. It is understood that when the projectile is fired the life line readily uncoils as the wire cord E' is held fixed.
A cap F is used for closing the aperture A, the cap having a groove F at its inner face for the passage of the wire cord E, as will be readily understood by reference to Figs. 1 and 6. The cap F fits loosely into the aperture A and when the projectile 1s fired the wire cord E in straightening out exerts a pull on the cap F and thus dislodges the same from the base A so that the life line can readily run out of the opening A during the flight of the projectile.
By the arrangement described the burning charge is not liable to injure the life line as the same is protected from the burning charge by the cap F, and the wire cord E is not liable to be injured by the said burning charge owing to its being formed of metal.
Ti hen the projectile is fired out of the mortar or gun B it is not liable to tumble over during its flight as the pull on the life line is from the base end of the projectile. The life line can be readily filled into the casing C by the manufacturer, and the filled easing can be readily placed in position 1n the tubularbody of the projectile and the end D of the life line fastened to the head IV, as above explained.
In practice the projectiles are made in two or more different lengths to accommodate longer or shorter life lines, thus enabling fife savers to select a projectile according to the distance to be traversed by the projectile. .It will be noticed that by the arrangement described projectiles with' solid shot and loose life lines are entirely dispensed with and life savers can readily use the projectile in a mortar.
Having thus described my invention, I
Patent:
1. In means for carrying life lines, a projectile, a life line coiled within the projectile and formed of a series of coils one in front of the other, the terminal of the outer convolution of one coil being connected with the beginning end of the inner convolution of the next following coil, the projectile hav ing an apertured base for the passage of the life line, and a cap fitting loosely in the aperture in the base and having a groove at its inner face for engagement by the life line.
2. In means for carrying life lines, a projectile having a tubular body, a casing fitting into the said tubular body, a life line coiled within the said casing and having its forward end anchored to the projectile, an apertured base plate for the rear end of the casing, and an apertured base plug removably secured to the rear end of the tubular body and engaging thebase plate of the casmg, the rear end of said life line extending ing coil, and a cap fitting through the apertures in said base plate and base plug.
3. In means for carrying life lines, a projectile having a recess leading out through its base, a casing fitting into the said recess, a life line coiled within the said casing and havingits forward end attached to the projectile, the said life line being formed of a series of-coils one in front of the other, the terminal of the outer convolution of one coil being connected with the beginning end of the inner convolution of the next following coil, an apertured plate for closing the base end of the casing, and an apertured base plug removably secured to the base of the projectile, the life line extending through the said apertures in said plate and plug.
4. In means for carrying life lines, a projectile having a centrally apertured removable base, and a life line coiled within the projectile and havin its forward end anchored to the projectile and having its rear end extending through the apertured base of the projectile, the life line being formed of a series of coils arranged one alongside the other, the terminal of the outer convolution of one coil being connected with the beginning end of the inner convolution of the next following coil, a wire cord connected with the beginning end of the coil in the base end of the projectile, and a closure for the aperture in the base of the projectile, and having a groove for the passage of the wire cord.
5. In means for carrying life lines, a projectile, and a life line coiled within the projectile and having its forward end anchored to the projectile, a wire cord connected with the rear end of the life line in the base end of the projectile, the base of the projectile having an opening through which the wire cord extends, the said projectile having a eng Wise ex' "1;; v in t p p eral face, the said wire cord extendili r 1 the said groove and having its outer end secured to a fixed support, and a cap for closing the opening in the base of the projectile, the cap fitting loosely in said opening and having a groove at, its inner face for the passage of the said wire cord.
6. In means for carryin life lines, a projectile having a tubular body, a head attached to the forward end of the said body, and an apertured plug removably attached to the rear end of the said body, a casing fitlng into the said cylindrical body, a life line coiled within the said casing and having its forward end attached to the said head and its rear end extending through the said apertured plug, the said life line being formed of a series of coils one in front of the other, the terminal of the outer convolution of one coil being connected with the beginning end of the inner convolution of the next followloosely in the aperture of said plug and having a groove for the passage of the life line.
7. In means for carryin life lines, a projectile having a tubular iody, a head attached to the forward end of the said body and an apert-ured base plug removably attached to the rear end of the said body, a casing fitting into the said cylindrical body, a life line coiled Within the said casing and having its forward end attached to the said head, the said life line being formed of a series of coils one in front ot the other, the terminal of the outer convolution of one coil being connected With the beginning end of the inner convolution of the next following coil, an apertured base plate for the said casing, a grooved cap for closing the aperture in the said base plug, and a Wire cord attached to the beginning end of the coil in the base end of the casing, the said Wire cord extending through the said base plate and the cap groove and the said projectile havmg a lengthwise extending groove in its peripheral face and the said wire cord extending along the said groove.
