Definitions

  • This invention relates to improvements in projectiles and refers particularly to pro j-ectiles containing a charge of lead shot or'- similar material which,V is discharged from 5 the case during the fiight of the projectile.
  • the primary object of the present invention is to provide a projectile lby means of which the path thereof can readily be followed by the person firing the projectile, lo while a further object of the present invention is to provide a projectile adapted for lethal purposes, ⁇ whereby the effective range of the shot is increased by ensuring a more dense distribution of the shot charge at a l5 given distance from the gun in comparison with the distribution of shot produced by firing a cartridge containing shot.
  • the projectile may be adapted primarily eithervfor tracing 1s of such a nature as to be easily visible throughout their flight or alternatively as a lethal projectile in which case of course, the retardin device may be less visible through- 25 out the 'ght.
  • the retarding device ⁇ takes a spherical form on leaving the barrel and spreads very rapidly after about 35 meters covering a space of more than a square
  • the projectile according to the present invention it is possible to calculate the various ballistic and mechanical elements ⁇ so that the spreading of the shot only commences at a definite distance, for example, 15 or 20 metres, or even more, from the gun, which will thus ensure that a given grouping of the shot is obtained at a distance of 15 or 20 metres beyond that which would be obtained with an ordinary cartrid.
  • a parallel bore gun, w 'ch an Ordinar cartridge fires 245 No. 6 shot into a circle o 0.75 metres in diameter at a distance of 35 metres the same spreading effect will be attainedvat or 55 metres Laccording tothe construction, with the projectile according to the present invention.
  • due to the reduction of friction in the barrel it is possible to obtain this. result by using a smaller charge of powder, with the certainty that none of the shot will fall short.
  • a projectile is used with a head of only slight sphericity, with fairly thick and stili Walls, having comparatively small 50 metres, thus permitting the person firing.
  • the speed ci' this tracing projectile being calculated to correspond to the mean speed or the shot from a sporting gun
  • the angle oi the head of the case will be more obtuse, the shape of the head being more pointed, the thickness and rigidity of the material of such head being correspondingly less and the exit hole correspondingly larger because the shot are larger and/or have to leave their envelo e earlier.
  • t e commencement of the evacuation of 'the killing projectile will vary between l0 and 20 metres from the enit of the barrel, thus ensuring a greater useful range of the weaponby 10 or 20 metres.
  • projectiles suitable for all circumstances may be made as desired, for example, projectiles suitable for simply tracing over the whole of the flight, or for tracing over a ill@ deiinite range, or again for tracing over e y. very long flight, or still further for lethal purposes by a rapid liberation of the shot.
  • FIG. 1 showsa side view or one form oi Fig. 3 is 'a section similar to Fig. 2 oi ahilling projectile loadedl lwith sporting shot;
  • Fig. 'i shows vin section the projectile hired to a retarding device in unfolded position
  • Fi 5 shows the manner of loading up the tasse to-introduce it into the tube of the cartridge case
  • Fig. 6 is a section of a loaded cartridge after closing
  • Fig. 7 shows the arrangement of a thin layer of fibrous or'lexible material held under the bottom of the projectile lby a spring washer
  • Fig. 8 is a plan view of Fig. 7;
  • Fig. 9 shows the manner in which the projectile thus furnished fits into the cartridge case
  • 4 Fig. 10 is a side view of a variation in construction in which the retarding and tracing device is constituted by a small parachute fixed to the bottom of the projectile by cords.
  • the projectile proper is constituted by a cylindrical case 1 having on its periphery several slight projections or longitudinal or other ribs 2, having for theirobject to eiiect the guiding of the projectile in the smooth barrel, and to facilitate the passage through the choke so as not to cause too great a resistance there, and a. thicker bottom or base, preferably reinforced by a washer 3 and provided at the bottom with a small perforation 6 in which the retarding member may be fixed directly or indirectly.
  • This hollow case has a hemispherical or pointed head 4, the extremity of whichhas a central opening 5. -This 4case is filled with 'a charge of shot 7, the
  • Figs. 1 and 2 show a projectile which is intended for tracing only, and it will be noted that its head' 4 is more spherical, the walls of the head are thicker, and the aperture 5 of a smaller diameter and the case is filled with much finer shot (lead dust), than the lethal projectile shown in Fig. 3.
  • the retarding device consists essentially of a tassel or tuft, flexible and elastic, or ointed, formed for example of wool, silk, linen or woven material, rubber, or even wires or elastic or jointed metal blades, so as to expand compu sorily and be kept expanded after leaving the barrel, notwithstanding the action of the wind or the pressure of air which should tend to close it, as in Figs. 4, 5 and 6. If the material of' this retarding device is not sufiiciently'resilient in itself, it may be kept unfolded by a mechanical device such as that shown in Figs. 7 and 8, or it may be formed by a kind of parachute asin Fig. 10.
  • the tuft according to Fig. 4 is made of threads of silk or of twisted wool'8, in which may be incorporateda numberof steel wires and rests on an elastic felt pad ⁇ 9 preferably having a diameter slightly larger than the internal diameter of the cartridge case-11, Fig. 6.
  • This pad 9 and the tuft 8 are traversed by a connecting piece 10, for example,
  • the tuft 8 is presumed to be made of hair or bristle and the pad 9 which supports it is composed of two layers of felt and cloth between which is held in a suitable manner a star or cross 11 cut from a thin steel spring plate.
  • the arms of this cross 11 are slightly curvedI towards the projectile and the tuft 8 is located in the hollow thus formed. On forming, these arms support the wad 9 and prevent the tuft from yielding too much to the action of the alr.
  • t e elements used may be fire-proof, painted, dyed, orV rendered phosphorescent, luminous, or brilliant to ensure the visibillty of the retardingrand marking device under all atmospheric conditions.
  • the invention consists in a visible projectile loaded withr shot for regulating and increasing the range, particularly for sporting guns, characterized by a hollow envelope retarded by an expanding'device, this projectileY and this braking device vbeing calculated in. such a manner that the charge of shot only leaves 'it at a. definite distance, thus permitting the manufacture as desired of experimental projectiles or tracing. projectiles, or killing projectiles ensuring a greater range and a better I grouping of the shot- I claim: y
