INVENTOR William jidhm idi- ATTORNEY UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
WILLIAM F. SCHMIDT, OF FREEBUBG, ILLINOIS.
SHOT-FIRING DEVICE.
Application filed September To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM F. SCHMIDT, citizen of the United States, residing at F reeburg, Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Shot-Firing Devices, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to shot firing devices and the object thereof is to produce a 'more efficient device that will make a sure shot in every instance and yet one that can be sold cheaper than anything of its kind at present on the market.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which- 7 Figure 1 showsa plan view of my device and Fig. 2 is a sectional view.
In the drawing, the numeral 3 indicates the fuse adapted to explode the cartridge, which is split at its free end as at 4. 5 in dicates the wooden body portion of a match adapted to be surrounded with a coating 6 of coagulated sawdust and 7 indicates an additional coating of coagulated powder upon the last inch of the match. By coagulated saw dust and coagulated powder, I mean saw-dust and powder that have been treated with a coagulant, of any suitable character to render the same sufiiciently tenacious and slow-burning. I have found that I obtain very satisfactory re sults by mixing the sawdust and the powder with liquid glue or mucilage. This causes the powder and the-sawdust each to form a. kind of paste so that, when dry, the parti- Specification of Letters Patent.
I Patented Sept. '7, 1920. 5, 1919. Serial No. 321,830.
cles of powder will be found adhering together, the particles of sawdust will be found adhering together, while both sawdust and powder will .adhere to the stick. The split ends 4L of the fuse 3 hold the powder end 7 of the match, which is firmly held in place there-between by a wrapping 8. In practice, the powdered end 7 takes the place of and serves the function of the usual squib.
The match is about a foot long and will burn about. an hour before igniting the fuse. In operation, the match is lighted and burns until the powdered end is reached which is ignited. This in turn lights the powder in the fuse which results in the explosion of the cartridge.
l Vhat I claim is:
A fuse split at its free end, a match comprising a body portion and a coating thereon, a coating of powder on the end of said match disposed in the split end of the fuse, and a wrapping over the split end of the fuse, the powdered end of the match serving as a squib.
In testimony whereof, I WILLIAM F. SCHMIDT, have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses, this 29th day of July, 1919.
WILLIAM F. SCHMIDT.
Witnesses IVILLIAM H. SNYDER, H. F. EGGERSMANN.
