Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a projectile of an inexpensive type adapted for the training of the crews of bombarding planes.
  • the said projectile essentially comprises a central shaft upon which are disposed a sack containing a heavy substance and a tail part or fin, said shaft containing a charge of colored powder in such manner that a fuse which explodes in contact with the ground will disperse the said powder in the form of a colored cloud, thus indieating to the observer the point of impact of the projectile.
  • Figure 1 is a vertical elevational view of the projectile according to the invention, partly in section.
  • Figures 2 and 3 are respectively a section on a larger scale showing the fuse and the charge of colored powder contained in the central shaft.
  • Figure 4 relates to a modification.
  • the interior of the sack 2 may be mounted one or more disks 5 which serve to weight the projectile to a determined amount, and also to give the cylindrical form to the sack 2.
  • the central shaft 1 At the lower end of the central shaft 1 is mounted the point or nose 6 of the fuse which carries the striker 7 and contains a spring 8 which holds apart the driving cartridge 9 provided with its percussion 10.
  • the central shaft contains a certain charge of colored powder, for instance red ochre powder, which is held in place by the wads 12.
  • Figures 2 and 3 show on a larger scale the disposition of the fuse, and of the charge of colored powder.
  • the projectile is dropped from the airplane, it at once takes the upright position due to its tail parts, and thus falls with the fuse downward.
  • the device acts by inertia in such manner that the cartridge 9 compresses the spring 8, and the primer 10 makes contact with the striker 7 thus exploding the driving cartridge 9.
  • the color powder which may for instance consist of red ochre, will thus be driven to the top of the tube, and it is discharged as a colored cloud which is quite visible from the aeroplane and indicates to the observer the point of impact of the projectile which has been dropped.
  • the bomb is of a large caliber, and hence has a heavy weight, it may be advantageous to use as the central shaft a mandrel of solid wood of rectangular section, instead of a tube.
  • the wood mandrel 1 comprises at the top a central bore in which is disposed the fuse 6 with its driving cartridge 9, as well as the charge of colored powder 11 maintained by the wads 12.
  • a container adapted to receive a cartridge, means supported on said container for exploding a cartridge positioned in the container, a flexible sack positioned outside said container, and marking material supported in said sack.
  • a container adapted to receive a cartridge, means supported on said container for exploding a cartridge positioned therein, a cloth sack positioned around said container, and marking material supported in said sack.
  • a projectile In a projectile, a hollow shaft, a. fin connected to one end of said shaft, a cartridge supported inside said shaft, means operative to explode said cartridge when the projectile strikes the ground, a flexible sack supported outside said hollow shaft, and pulverized marking material supported in said sack.
