DART 0R ARROW.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented NOV. 30, 1915.
Application filed September 13, 1915. Serial No. 50,284.
T 0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Mwron E- WINANS, av citizen of the United States, residing at Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Darts or Arrows, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to darts or arrows to be dropped from aeroplanes or other aircraft upon hostile troops below, and its object, briefly stated, is to provide an improved dart that can be manufactured at less cost of time and material than the prior devices.
To this and other ends the invention comprises the novel features hereinafter described.
One form of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 shows the completed dart in perspective. Fig. 2 is a perspective view on a larger scale showing the crossed feathers and the mode of assembling the same. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the head of the dart, showing the crossed slots in its butt or rear end for receiving the ends of the feathers. Fig. 4. is a perspective view illustrating a convenient method of securing the ends of the feathers in the slots in the head. Fig. 5 is a perspective view illustrating the fastening of the outer or rear ends of the feathers together by spot welding, as by means of an oXy-acetylene flame.
The dart, as illustrated in Fig. 1. comprises a pointed metal head 10, usually cylindrical, into the butt end of which are fastened two crossed metal feathers 11, 12, each being of the same width as the diameter of the head. The feathers are provided with oppositely extending, central longitudinal slots 13, 14, respectively, so that the two feathers can be assembled by straddling, or by sliding one into the other, as clearly indicated in Fig. 2. The feather 12, which has its slot extending upwardly from the lower end, is slightly longer than the other.
In the butt or upper end of the head 10 are two crossed slots 15, 16, at right angles to each other, to receive the lower ends of the feathers, slot 16 being the deeper to acsquare, but preferably they have their corners clipped off, as shown.
Heretofore, in darts for the purpose mentioned, the feathers have been made by milling qu'adrantal-shaped recesses in the sides of a solid bar of metal. The metal thus cut from the bar in the form of chips is of course wasted, and moreover the operation requires considerable time if done with the requisite accuracy. In my improved dart this loss is avoided, practically the only Waste of that kind being the negligible amount of metal lost in sawing the slots in the head, and moreover the total time consumed in making the dart is considerably less. The net saving on a single device is of course small, but darts for this purpose are made by the million and the aggregate saving thus becomes important.
It is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the exact constructionherein illustrated and described, but can be embodied in other forms Without departure from its spirit.
I claim:
1. A dart or arrow comprising a metal head having crossed slots in its butt end, and crossed feathers consisting of sheet metal strips slotted longitudinally from their opposite ends and slid together, the feathers being inserted into said slots and suitably fastened in place.
2. A dart or arrow comprising a metal head having crossed slots in its butt end, one slot being deeper than the other; a feather consisting of a strip of sheet metal having one end inserted in the shallower slot and having a-longitudinal slot extend ing from the other end; and a similar feather similarly slotted, crossing the other in the slot in the latter and having its slotted end inserted into and fastened in the deeper of the slots in the head.
. 3. A dart or arrow comprising a metal head having crossed slots in its butt end,
crossed feathers composed of slotted sheet metal strips straddling each other and inserted at one end into the slots in the head, the feathers at the other end being spotwelded together. a
4. A dart or arrow comprising a metal head having crossed slots in its butt end,
one deep and the other shallow; a strip of sheet metal havlng one end inserted in the shallow slot and havinga longitudinalcentral slot extending inwardly from the other end; and-a centrally slotted strip of sheet metal straddling the other crosswise 'and having its slotted end inserted and checkfastened in the deep slot in the head; the outer ends. of the two crossed strips being spot-welded together.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto 20 aflixed my signature.
