Definitions

  • This invention relates to drawn metal cartridge shells having a double circumferential fold between the base and the tubular part of the shell.
  • Metal shells in accordance with the present ine vention are especially suited for sporting cartridges because they are moisture proof and are therefore preferable to the cardboard shells used.
  • I-Ieretofore the crowns of such double folds were tightly closed so that 10.' adjacent layers of the fold touch each other over substantially their entire length. While such folds were intended to strengthen the base, they were not permanently gas tight as the material in the crowns of the fold was over-strained during '1'5- the manufacture to a point where incipient cracks developed therein which opened up when the cartridge was fired, or the material was weakened to a degree that it could not withstand the firing pressure.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a cartridge shell which avoids the aforementioned disadvantages.
  • Another object is to provide a cartridge shell which does not crack upon iiring and which therefore can be employed with safety.
  • Another object is to provide a cartridge shell of relatively light weight in relation to the pressure which is developed therein upon firing.
  • Another object is to provide a cartridge shell with a double fold between the rim of the base and the tubular part which fold forms an elastic spring-like connection between the parts capable of yielding upon ring and thus reduces the strain upon the shell.
  • Another object is to provide a cartridge shell with a double fold in which the maximum stresses to which the material is subjected during manufacture and during subsequent firing are relatively low.
  • Another object is to provide a cartridge shell of a material which is readily formed, which is inexpensive and which is especially suited for the purpose.
  • Figures 1 and 2 are longitudinal cross sections of a cartridge shell during different stages of the manufacturing process, while Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section of the lower part of the iinished shell.
  • the shell which has a tubular part 1 and a base 2 is first cold drawnin the usual manner, the bottom having a constant 55. thickness and the wall of the tubular part being slightly tapered as shown in Fig. 1. It will be understood that the proportions shown in Figs. 1 and 2 are somewhat exaggerated. As an example the thickness of the top end of the tubular part in the stage shown in Fig. 1 may be .23 mm., while 6o the thickness of the tubular part near the base may be .35 mm. and the constant thickness of the base .7 mm.
  • the shell blank By subjecting the shell blank to a further operation, it attains the form shown in Fig. 2 where-V 65 in the length of the tube is increased and the bottom is approximately hernispherical. Thereafter the blank is put into another tool which gives it its nal shape as illustrated in Fig. 3 and in which the double fold between the wall l and the rim 3 of the base 2 is designated by the numerals 4 and 5. It will be observed that the thickness of the wall in the rst bend 4 near the rim 3 is slightly tapered and that the crowns 0i the fold are given radii which are large in relation to the thickness of the metal and the sides thereof are oblique to the base.
  • the cross section of the entire double fold represents a substantially continuous curve as distinguished from a bend consisting of a combination of curves and straight lines.
  • a metal cartridge shell having between its base and its tubular part two resilient folds which are reversed relative to each other, said folds including arcs of more than a' half-circle and having relatively large inside radii.
  • a metal cartridge shell provided with a resilient double fold between the base and the tu- Y buiar part of the shell, the crowns of said fold having relatively large inside radii, said shell consisting of an alloy of zinc and copper containing approximately .5% by weightY of Copper.
  • a metal cartridge shell having between its base and its tubular part two resilient folds which are reversed relative to each other, said folds including arcs of more than a half-circle and having relatively large inside radii, the
