Description

Oct. 4, 1932. NERLICH v 1,880,330
PROJECTILE FOR TOY FIREARMS Filed Jan. 21. 1931 Patented Qcta 4, 1932 AUGUST NERLICH, 0F IBEYIElNIB'U133G Ol\l' PHI -WU1?PER, GERMANY rnoJEc'rrLn non Toy FIREARMS Application filed January 21, 1931, Serial No. 510,251, and in Germany January 27, 1930.
This invention relates to projectiles for toy fire-arms similar to .the so-called alarm pistols, in which the projectile is fired by means of a spring operated and pointed percussion rod.
The known projectiles of this kind of toy fire-arm go ofi' with a bang only. However the projectile according to the present invention is fitted with means for producing the efiect of fire-balls or like fireworks, whereby however the projectile is adapted for use in connection with toy fire-arms only and does not possess any hard parts, which may cause damage.
In order to attain this object, a cartridge is charged according to the present invention with an illuminationor fireworks composition and, on firing, the charge of the cartridge-case is mechanically hurled out of the mouth of the toy fire-arm. The cartridge preferably comprises a case provided with a holed base and in which a priming-plate is arranged in front of the hole in the base, said priming-plate being connected with the fireworks-charge proper by means of a slowly combustible priming composition.
One mode of carrying out the present invention is illustrated by way of example in the accompanying drawing in which the forward end of the barrel of a toy gun with a cartridge in its mouth is shown in section.
The mouth of the barrel a of a toy gun is enlarged toward the outside to form a shoulder 6 on which rests the cartridge arranged in the mouth of the barrel. According to the present invention the cartridge comprises an outer cardboard case (i, which is provided with a central hole f in its base and carries the charge. The charge consists of a, primingplate 9 resting on the floor of the case, a cup shaped priming composition h adjacent there to and an illumination or sparking composition 2' arranged therein. The former preferably consists of a mixture of salt-petre, carbon and a binding agent, for instancedextrin, gum-arabic or the like, while the latter consists of a common fireworks composition and, as shown in the drawing, may be rammed into the case Z or pasted into the same in the shape of fire-balls.
V cessively ignited after ignition The cartridge is mechanically hurled out of the gun by means of a percussion rod in, which is guided in the barrel of the fire-arm and loaded by a spring 0, as well as provided with a plate m at its free end, a point n being arranged on said plate. The operation is as follows :As shown in the drawing, the spring 0 is placed in tension either manually by pulling backward the percussion rod 70 or automatically by a separate device ofknown construction and a cartridge is placed into the mouth of the barreluntil it rests on the shoulder 6. Now on releasing the percussion rod, the latter suddenly jumps forward in view of the action of the spring 0 and its point it passes through the hole 7 in the base of the cartridge-case d and strikes the priming-plate 9, thereby igniting the latter. At the same time the cartridge is hurled out of the barrel because the'plat-e m of the percussion-rod 7c. strikes the floor of the cartridgecase (Z. The priming composition 72, is ignited during the hurling operation and now ignites the illuminationor fireworks composition 71 and hurls the same out of the cartridge-case.
The invention is of course not limited to the construction as shown, because also other constructions are possible particularly with respect to the construction of thecartridge and the composition of the individual cartridge-charges.
I claim r 1. A projectile of the class described com prising a case having a closed end, said closed end being provided with an opening for the passage of an impact ignition element, a memher of priming composition fitted in the case,
a priming plate between the member and closed end of the case and normally closing said opening, a pyrotechnical member engaged with the priming member, the primlng' member and pyrotechnical member being sucof the priming composition.
2. A projectile comprising a case having a closed end, said closed end having an opening therein, a cup-shaped member fitted in the case and formed from a priming composition,
a priming plate between the closed end of the case and said member, a member of pyrotechnical composition fitted in thecup-shaped member, means'passab'le through said opening to ignite the priming composition and successively the cup-shaped member and pyrotechnic member when the projectile is inflight. r
3.A projectile as claimed in claim 2 wherein after ignition of the cup-shaped. member,
the pyrotechnical member is hurled f om the 0 base;
