LONG- RANGE PROJECTLE FILED A UG. I0, 1920- Patented dan., l, l923 Uil? rara
TADAUS LYBURIS AND PETE F. SMITH, `OIE HEB/RIN, ILLINOIS.
LONG-RANGE PROJECTILE.
Application filed August 10, 1920. Serial No. 402,729.
FETE F. SMITH, citizens of the United States, residing at Herrin, in the county of Wil- 5 liamson, State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful lmprovements in Long-Range Projectiles; and we 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 app Thi impro ertains, to make and use the same: s-invention relates to new and useful vements in projectiles and particularly to long range projectiles.
One object is to provide a novel and improved device of this character which has means for facilitating the steady flight ot the device through the air.
Another object is to provide guiding means for a projectile which' obviates the use of the rifling of the barrel of the gun, together with the particular manner in which the guiding means are supported on the projectile.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing.
ln the drawing Fig made
ure 1 is an elevation of a projectile in accordance with our invention.
Figure 2 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view through the projectile.
Figure 3 is an enlarged vertical transverse sectional view taken on the line '3-3 of Fig. 2.
Fig
ure 4 is a vertical sectional view taken on the line 4-4. of Figure 2, enlarged.
Figure 5 is a rear elevation of the projectile.
Figure 6 is an enlarged vertical transverse sectional view taken on the line 6--6 of Figure 2.
Referring particularly to the accompanying drawing, 10 represents the elongated hollow body of the projectile, the rear end being of the same diameter as the intermediate portion, while the forward end is tapered to form the nose 11. Extending longitudinally through the body 10, and having it forme s ends secured in openings 12 and 13, d respectively in the nose and butt ends of the body, is a tube 14, and rotatably suptending shaft 15. Rotatably carried by the forward end of the shaft, and disposed forwardly of the nose of the body, is a screw 16. Similarly mounted on the other end of the shaft, and disposed rearwardly of the butt end of the body, is a second longer screw, this latter propeller being longer so that a more perfect balance of the body, during its forward flight through the air will be assured, said propeller being shown at 17.
The forward screw 16 is formed with a hub portion 18 which is received in a cup member 19 threadedly engaged in the nose of the body, and which bears against the circular series of ball bearings 20, disposed in said cup member. The rear screw 17 is similarlyk provided with a hub portion 2l which engages the balls 22 disposed in the cup member 23 in the rear or butt end of the body. Surrounding the cup member 23 are the series of internally threaded openings 24C into which are engaged screw plugs 25. Through these openings, when the plugs are removed, the explosive is introduced into the interior of the body of the projectile. The projectile is arranged to be placed in the outer open end of the shell 26, in the manner of the ordinary bullet of the common rifle shell, a wad 27 being disposed behind the rear screw 17, and in front of the charge of explosive which is adapted to drive the projectile from the shell. A fuse 28 is disposed through one of the openings 24 and through a groove formed in one of the plugs 25. The inner end of the fuse is disposed within the mass of explosive within the body of the projectile.
As the projectile proceeds through the air the screws 16 and 17 will rotate at a high rate of speed serving to keep the projectile onL an even keel while at the same time directing the same on its course. The rear screw 17 being longer than the front one will act in the manner of the feather of an arrow to more properly insure the direct flight of the projectile.
What is claimed is:
A projectile comprising an explosive containing body, a tube disposed longitudinally through the center of the body, a rotatable In testimony whereof, we al'lx om.' signasllait dlsposed through the Said tube, a, tures, 1n the presence of two wit-Deseas. conical screw mounted on the forward end of the shaft externally of the body, and a TADAUS LYBURS. Cylindrical Screw mounted on the new end PETE'F. SMTH. of the shaft and externally of the body for 1Witnesses: Sustaining Jche* longitudinal balance of the HENRY WILSON, body of the projectile. CHAS. STAM-Monos.
