PROJECTILE.
Specication of Letters Patent. Patented Mal. 31, 1914.
Application led July 30, 1913. Serial No. 782,008.
To all 'whom it may concern Be it known that I, CHARLES B. Fox, a citizen of the United States, residing at Providence,- county of Providence, and State of Rhode Island, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Projectiles, of which the following is a specication.
My invention relates to projectiles or shells, and has for its object to produce an articlev of this nature that will possess a wider range of execution and consequently cause a much greater destruction with the same amount of labor, material, and expense than the shells'now in use. I accomplish this purpose bythe construction presently described and Vshown in the accompanyin `drawings forming part hereof, and in whic i: Y
FigureV 1 is a sectionalside elevation of my improved shell ready for firing. Figs. 2, 3, 4 and 5 sectional viewsof the body of the shell separated. Fig. V6 a plan view of i forward pin.

same. Fig. 9. a side pin. Fig. 10 a plan vicwyof same. a side view of the cap; view of same, Y, V
Similar letters of reference designate corresponding partsVV throughoutv the several views.V Y j My invention consists in making a shell of suitable material in two parts A and B each provided with a semi-circular recess C and a central channel C1 leading into said recess and adapted to receive the pins here- The inner edges of these sections are so formed that they can be easily and securely joined, as by providing onesection with a flange or terron C2 and the other section with a mortise C2 adapted to receive said flange; and when said sections are thus assembled the chamber C4 is formed centrally thereof which contains the load of ammunition. Through each channel C1 extends a pin D and a pin E, the forward pin D being pro-vided with a head D1 which, when the shell is loaded and ready for firing, sets slightly beyond the face of the body of the shell, as shown at D2, which brings its tapered rear end D3 slightly in advance of the likewise and Fig.V 12 a plan taperedK point 'E2 .shown at E. Thus, my improved shell contains a central chamber into which vthe tapering points of two pins project. The shell is then secured in a metal cap F'at its rear, in the usual way, which is loaded for the purpose of from the gun. When the head D strikes an object, the pin D is driven back and, contacting with the point E2 of the pin E, the shell is exploded. Because of the large capacity of this central chamber and the Vshell being sectional, the contents thereof go in dierent directions and over a large area doing a damage considerably greater than that resulting from the explosion of the shells now in use which usually deliver their contents in a concentrated-shape at one particular place only.
Having now Vdescribed my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
l. A shell composed of sections each provided with a recess and achannel leading thereto, which sections, when assembled, form a central chamber; and pins extending through said channels and projecting into said chamber.
2. A shell provided with a central cham ber and pins extending from each end of said shell and projecting into said chamber adapted to contact with each other.
3. A shell composed of two sections A and B, each provided witha semi-circular recess C and channels C1 leading to the same, and which sections, when asesmbled, form a central chamber C4, a pin D adapted to enter thechannel in section A pro vided at its outer end with a head D1 and having a tapered point D3 projecting into said chamber; a pin E adapted to enter the channel in section B provided with a tapered end E2 projecting into said chambers, the said pins being so arranged that whenV the head D1 strikes an object, the pin D will be forced against the ,pin E and cause the explosion; and a cap F, all substantially as shown and described.
