Description
ED Sas ALONZO O. ARMOUR. OF BALT-ON. GEORGIA GSOLENE-GUN.
Specification of Letters Pate-nt.
Application filed March 11, 1916. 'Serial No. 83,586.
i To ZZ 11s/72.0771itmayconce'rlz:
Be it known thatl ll, ALoNzo O. naronn, a citizeirotl the `United States, residing at Dalton, in the county of ll'hi'field and katate 5 of Georgia. have invented certain new and useful liiipi'ovenients iii (lasolene-Guns, ot which the Jfollowingr is a speciiieation.
This invention relates to an improved grun- 1'5 vide a cannon so conatriict-ed that a tight" l closure will be prnv'iderl at the inner end oll the-barrel when the-shell is in place thus providing an air-tight combustion chamber 1in which theGaS will be exploded to drivev20 'the Sh'ell out oil the barrel. vided a spark plug` 23, a'siiitahle vcircuit 2l Another Object. of the invention is to proviride-a cannon ot the type described which `wi'll, be verv simple in construction and strong and durable.
25.' Thisinventionis illustrated in the -accompanying drawings, wherein Figure- 1 is a lview showing they improved cannon injsection, 'and Fig. :2 Ais a gti-agli mentarv sectional view showing the manner 30 of holding'theasbestos packing in place in the inner end portion-of the barrel.
This gun.- Or cannon 10 is provided with a breech 11 communicating with the combustion 'chamber 12 which in its turn communiv 3,5 Cates' with-'the barrel 13 having"- the usual riding 1l. y Adjacent the inner and ofthis barrel there isprovided a seat- 35 lin which is placed al packing' 1G of asbestos or some other fire-proof material, the packing be- 4D vin;r heldin place' by means of the band 17 countersunk `in the packing and held in place by theV securing screws 1S which are also coiintersunk as clearly shown in Fig.
Q. Therefore'when the projectile 19 is in! 45 sertedand'thebreech 11 closed, an air-tight I combustionl clfamber will'be provided.. The
valve-,21 is positioned iiitci'n'i'edi-ite the length ole the .si'ipplvY pipe 20 aiidis ot the three-wa)v type so that when turned to the position shown iii Fiji. 1, thegasoleiie may pass into the combustion chaiiibei' 12 and when turned to the proper position, coni pressed air may pass through the valve troni the air siippliI pipev 22 into tlic-coiiibastion chaiiiber through the pipe 2 0. After combustible fluid has been fed into the coinbustioii chamber 'and the compressed air then also ted into this combustion chamber,
the valve can beturned to shut oil' the llow. `troni both pipes. very-highly cOnibiiStible fluid will Anow be provided irl the coin-.
bastion chamber which when exploded .will drive out the projectile. In order to explode this combustible mixture, there is probeine irovided for the siark ilue. lt will thus be seen that, zitter `the projectile has been put. in place and the gasole'ne and coin-v pressed air mixed inthe combustion' Chamber, tiles-witch can be closed thus causing the spark which will explode this com- .barrel being provided with a ciitOiit'fOrm-- ina' an annular seat, afpacking'placed in said seat, andA a securing strip for said packing coiintersnnk thereiny f 2. A gun ofthe character described-in cluding' a combustion. ehaniberha-ving a barrel leading therefrom, and a packing countersunk in the wall of the inner end portion of said barrel and releasablyheld in place.
3. A gun of the character described incl'uding a. combustion 'chamber having a barrel leading therefroina releasalole breechtn the combustion chamber, a packing 'einl'ie'olded in the barrel for forming a tight closure around a projectile 'positioned theref in t-O provide an -air-tighteombustien charning the Huid in the combustion chamber. Y
4, Avi gun of the diameter deserbed i'n eluding; a' combustion chamber bmi-mg a barrelleadlng therefrom and a packing 1n the welof' thernnei end portion of seidy barrel for forming a tight closure around a projectile positioned therein.l
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in prese-nce of two Witnesses.
