GUN AND PROJECULE THEREFOR. APPLICATION FILED JANJ. 191a.
Patented May 27, 1919.,
' when!!! STATES PATENT Enron.
roomy c. DAVIS, or BonEY, OKLAHOMA;
GUN AND PBOJECTILE THEREFOR.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, LUCKEY G. DAvIs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Boley, in the county of Okfuskee, State of Oklahoma, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements inGuns and Projectiles Therefor, and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in guns.
One object of the present invention is to provide a novel gun which is especially adapted for discharging chain shot for the purpose of destroying wire entanglements,
or other obstructions.
Another object is to provide a novel projectile for use in connection with the gun.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing.
In the drawing: Figure 1 is a plan View of a gun made in accordance with my invention.
Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view taken on the line 22 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a horizontal longitudinal sectional view taken through the gun.
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the projectile removed from the gun. v
Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a cartridge used in connection with the gun:
Fig. 6 is an enlarged horizontal sectional view through the cartridge. Referring particularly to the accompanying drawing 10 represents the barrel of the gun, as a whole, the inner end of which is in the form of a single large ,tube, while the remaining portion, at the other end, is divided into two barrel portions 11,. the
same being connected together in spaced relation by the parallel longitudinal walls 12. Between these walls thereis located a channel 13 which communicates with the barrel portions 11 and the interior of the main larger barrel or breech portion 14. Engaged around the gun, at the inner end portions of the barrels 11, is a band 15 which strengthens the gun and prevents any tendency of the portions, 11 to spread, when the gun is fired. I
The rojectile which is used in connection with t e gun is clearly shown in" Fig. 4.
i Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Mayz'fl, 1919,
' Application filed January 7. 1818. Serial No. 210,651.
vWhen the projectile is fired from the gun,
the bombs pass out of the two barrels 11 while the doubled chain passes through the channel 13, but as soon as the projectile leaves the mouths of the barrels 11 the bombs separate and break the carrier 18 so that the bombs will be disposed at the ends of the full length of chain. When this projectile strikes a wire entanglement the chain will effectively cut through the wire. The projectile is also effective when it strikes the bow or other like projecting portion of aship, the bombs being suddenly checked by the contact of the chain with the ship,
will fly inwardly against the sides of the ship and explode with the result that openings will be blown in both sides of the ship. The shell used in connection with the chain shot is shown Figs. 5 and 6, wherein it will be seen that the shell is formed with a larger closed end'portion 19 and the twin barrel portions 20, all formed and connected in the same manner as the barrel portions of the gun. The larger portion of the shell holds the explosive while the portions 20 hold the shot 16 at the ends of the chain 17 It will thus be seen that I have provided a novel and effective weapon of war, and one which will effectively destroy a large number of the obstructions which would be encountered to prevent the proper and quick advance of troops.
The device is also effective as an anti-aircraft gun, the chain and balls being adapted to destroy or so injure aircraft that they will be brought down and put out of use.
. It will, of course, be understood that I do not limit the use of the subject-matter of this invention to large caliber guns, but the use of the same principle in'rrifles, and other pair of spaced barrels, a firing chamber common thereto and a guide passage connecting the bores of the barrels throughout 22. A breech loading gun having a pair of spaced barrels, having a slot connecting the barrels throughout their lengths, and having a firing chamber with which communicate both barrels "and the slot throughout its width.
3. A projectile for use in a twin barreled gun including a shell including an explosive receiving portion, a pair of integral barrel portions connected together by a pair of parallel walls, said barrel portions communicating with each other and with the explosive receiving portion, a projectile disposed in the shell and including a pair of explosive members, a chain connecting said members, and a carrier for holding the chain tgmlporarily in doubled condition within the s e In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in'the presence of two witnesses.
