Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to small arms technology and, more particularly, is concerned with hunting and sporting cartridges with plastic cases.
  • the main drawback of the existing case is its low structural strength—the case breaks down during shooting. Internal surface geometry of the case and its processing technique do not provide structural strength because of casting defects.
  • the drawback of the device for manufacturing of the case is that the cylindrical pin is arranged on the punch what leads to declination from axis during the casting of matrix by working mass resulting in the case geometry failure and reduction of structural strength.
  • the objective of the invention is increasing of the ballistic data and structural strength of the product with low price of its manufacturing.
  • the device for manufacturing of the plastic cartridge case contains a mold performed of a matrix forming the external surface of the cartridge case, a halfmatrix with a conical casting opening which forms the cup bottom and a punch forming the internal surface of the cartridge case.
  • a halfmatrix On the halfmatrix is a cylindrical hollow pin forming a closed primer opening. The cylindrical hollow pin together with punch form a ring sprue.
  • the cartridge case is shaped as the cup 1 with internal surface 2 comprising three conical portions.
  • the primer opening 4 At the bottom 3 is the primer opening 4 . Inside of the cup (around the opening 4 ) there is a compensation groove 5 . A recess 6 performed concentrically with the opening 4 on the outside surface of the bottom 3 .
  • cup (cartridge case) part and part for the primer installation is divided by the dam-diaphragm 7 .
  • the device for manufacturing of the plastic cartridge case consists of the matrix 8 , the halfmatrix 9 and the punch 10 .
  • the cylindrical hollow pin 11 forms the closed primer opening.
  • the ring sprue 12 is between the surface of the pin 11 and the surface of the punch 10 .
  • the plastic mass is supplied from the distribution block (not shown on the picture) into the cylindrical opening of the halfmatrix 9 , then through the pin 11 and the ring sprue 12 penetrates into the mold filling full its space uniformly excluding appearance of defects. After taking the finished cartridge case out of the mold, unnecessary part of pour is removed leaving the dam between the parts of the cartridge case.
  • the cartridge case manufactured according to this method has the following advantages.
  • the cartridge case has improved structural strength characteristics. Division of the cartridge case parts: the primer part and the combustion part results in improvement of ballistic characteristics of the cartridge case due to exclusion of powder charge effect on burning intensity of the primer and ignition process improvement.
  • the thickness of the dam-diaphragm should be selected within the range of 0,2-0,5 mm.
  • the described cartridge case has improved structural strength characteristics, low manufacturing price, shorter range of spread of filled cartridge parameters of powder charge pressure and shot speed.
