IMPROVED PROJECTILE FOR FIRE-ARMS.
Specicaiion forming part of Leiters Pat-ent No. 23,538, dated AApril 12,1559.
:To all whom it may concer-rb:
Be it known that I, WM. H. ARNOLD, of Washington city, District of Columbia, haveA invented a new and useful Improvement in Projectiles for Fire-Arms; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, forming part of this specification, in the several figures of which similar characters of reference denote the same part.
Figurel is a View of the projectile with the branches of its tail secured together previous to its being discharged. Fig. 2 shows the same with branches extended. Fig. 3 is a 1ongitudinal section of same. Fig. 4 is a view of projectile having a tail without branches.
The nature of my invention consists in the construction of projectiles with tail-pieces, substantially in the manner and for the purpose hereinafter to be described.
In the drawings, B represents a conical ball of ordinary form, with a cavity in its rear portion, cast upon a metal rod, R, whose axis is coincident with that of the projectile. The
rod R may be either plain, as shown in Fig. 4, or its rear extremity may be split, as shown in Fig. 2, a small ring, a, being used to hold the branches together, as seen in Fig. l.
This projectile is designed for-use in a rearm constructed for its reception. Where the branched rod is used, the ring a will be removed at the instant of discharge, and, the branches expanding against the surface of the bore, will act as guides to the projectile in its discharge. v
'The tail-piece is designed to give steadiness to the projectile during its flight, and cause greater accuracy of fire.
What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is j Combining with hollow-base projectiles B a shaft,.R, split at its extremity and otherwise constructed as described.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name before two subscribing witnesses. WM. H. ARNOLD.
Witnesses:
GEO. PATTEN, J oHN S. HoLLrNGsHEAD.
