Claims. (Cl. 102-50) The object of the present invention is to provide a method for controlling the directional movement of a shell after it has left the muzzle of agun, and to provide a shell for use in theshell may be coincided with the movement oi thev target, whether vertically or laterally.
The trajectory of the shell describes astraight line until gravitational force causes thegshell at a point in its flight to move in a downward. arc. Thus it is necessary in gun sighting to rapidly calculate, with reference to the particular gun, its caliber, and the speed of the projectile. the distance from the gun of the target, and the height of the target, to properly aim the gunhence the need for range finders and delicate calibrating instruments for aid inaccuracy of fire. The difliculty is largely increased in night firing. y
By means of the'present method and shell, an intense shell encompassing beam of light may be projected, which beam encompasses the straight line path of the shell, as when its source surthe lateral directional control of the shell, as when the control beam is shifted to the right to follow a fast moving airplane.
Figure 2 is a schematic view, inelevation, showing the relative position of a control beam and the beam-sensitive elements of the shell.
Figure 3 is a wiring diagram for the motor control' (solenoid) form of the shell illustrated in Figures 4 to 12 inclusive.
Figures 4 and 5 are, respectively, side views of I the shell prior to and after firing.
rounds a gun muzzle. The position of this beam changes with the movement of the gun muzzle in following the target and acts upon sensitive elements carried by the shell which control directional devices.
The gun is smooth bored, not rifled. The shell when it emerges from the gun throws out two horizontal fin rudders and two vertical fin rudders, and the position of these rudders relative to the longitudinal axis of the shell is, in night firing, controlled by the beam of light. These rudders' are operative to cause the shell to veer to the left. to the right, to more rapidly descend, or to retard normal descent, as by an upward rise in a normally down trajectory curve.
By maintaining the gun sights directly-on the target from the instant of firing, theshell will reach the target, and calculations as to range are unnecessary, the time for training skilled gunners is very substantially reduced, and waste of ammunition may largely be avoided, because one eflective gun of 75 mm. caliber, or of a larger caliber, is better than fifty non-efiective guns of any caliber.
The invention will be described with-reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 6 is an enlarged fragmentary view of the rear portion of the shell in its form as shown in Figure 4.

Figure 16 is a view in elevation and transverse section, partly broken away, taken through the shell generally on the line 16-!6, Figure 14.
The primary shell casing containing the explosive charge is indicated at I, and threaded Figure 1 is a schematic view in plan illustrating thereon at the rear, is the control casing Ix. Two
sets oi opposed and angularly related slots are formed in the control casing la: as shown at s, for containingtwo sets of. rudder fins, which, for convenience. in description, are herein termed vertical rudder fins 2, 2a: and horizontal rudder fins 3, 3:2. In each form of the'invention, the vertical rudder fins 2, 2a are carried by a single shaft 4 and the horizontal rudder fins 3, 3a: are carried by a single shaft 5. These shafts are the same in function in 'all forms and hence bear the same reference characters although they may be driven by specifically different means. The rudder fins are pivoted to their respective shafts by a pivot 6 and springs 'l are employed to normally project the rudder fins outwardly to the position shown in Figure 11 and in other figures.
Prior to flring the fins are held inward against the tension of their springs by any means which will become inoperative when the shell is fired as, for example, a friction fusible ring 8 as indicated in Figures 4 and 6.
Each rudder fin carries at its trailing edge a beam-sensitive circuit closer indicated at 9. By beam-sensitive circuit closer is meant any element adapted toclose an electric circuit in generally the manner of a selenium cell, and the beam may be of light, or of any radiant energy.
In the structure of Figures 8 to 12 inclusive, the power for moving the rudder fins is derived from small but powerful solenoids fed from a battery or batteries. Shaft 4 carries a rack H] which is in mesh with a rack bar [I (Figure 8)- connected to the core l2 of the solenoid l3, which solenoid is double acting so that the core is positively moved either to the right or to the left. Balancing springs I 4, I40: which engage an intermediate fixed plate l act upon the rack and core I 2 to normally hold the latter in an intermediate position relatively to the solenoid 13, although this is not essential since wind pressure on the rudder fins 2, 2.7: will tend to maintain them strictly parallel to the vertical plane which intersects the axis extending longitudinally through the shell.
Shaft 5 also carries a rack, shown at IS in mesh with a rack bar I! (Figure 8) carried by the core ill of a solenoid IS, the rack bar and core being balanced by springs 20, 20:1: in the same manner as previously described with reference to rack bar H and core 12.
Referring to Figures 8 and 9, I have shown at 2| the main plural-cell battery, at 22 the relay battery, at 23 an amplifier and at 24 and 24m two relays.
Referring to Figures 2 and 3 showing various positions of shell relative to the encompassing beam, Figure 2, and the wiring diagram, Figure 3, it will be seen from Figure 2 that at la: is shown the control casing of the shell, the encompassing beam being shown by circular lines. It will be seen that the gunner has, in following the moving target by the gun muzzle or any other beam control, shifted the beam to the right, causing the beam to strike the sensitive cell of rudder 3. Instantly relay 24a: is energized, closing a circuit through one side of solenoid l3, causing the solenoid to act upon shaft 4 to turn the vertical rudders in such direction that the shell is directed to the right.
If the beam had been shifted to the left so that horizontal rudder 3a: was met by the beam, the
as to move the horizontal rudders upwardly. Also, should the beam meet the sensitive cell on the upper rudder 2, a circuit would be closed through the right hand side of relay 24, closing a circuit through the opposite end of solenoid l9 and turning shaft 5 to move the rudders downwardly so as to direct the shell downwardly.
It will be understood that the wiring diagram,
of Figure 3 shows the mechanical elements merely in schematic relation, the sector racks l0 and I6 and the shafts 4 and 5 havingbeen'turned out of normal position for clarity of illustration.
Referring more particularly to the wiring shown in Figure 3, the circuit closing operations are as follows:
When the beam-sensitive cell 9 on the uppermost of the two vertical rudders is met by the control beam a circuit is closed from the solenoid battery 22 through wires 58, 59 and the solenoid 24 operates switch 60 to close one side of power solenoid I9 via battery 2| and wires BI, 62, 63. When the lower one of the two vertical" rudders meets the beam a circuit is closed from solenoid battery 22 via wires 58 and 64 acting upon solenoid 24a to close a circuit through the opposite end of power solenoid l9 via wires 6i, Blx, 85 and thence to the ground wires 63.
When the beam meets the cell on the left horizontal rudder 3 current is passed from the solenoid battery 22 via wires 58, 66 and 61 to solenoid 241: operating a switch arm 68 to close a circuit from battery 2| via wires 69, I0 and ground wire H. When the right hand horizontal rudder cell, carried by rudder 3m, meets the beam, the circuit is closed from solenoid battery 22 via wires 66 and 72 energizing relay 24b to close a circuit from battery 21 via wires I3, l4, 15.
It will thus be seen that the power solenoids l3 and H! are thrown into a circuit with the battery 2| by relay switches of the solenoid type which are independently energized from a low power battery, the four relay switches each leading to its own rudder carried cell which breaks connection with the low power battery until the beam strikes it.
In Figures 10 and 10a, the shafts 4 and 5 are worm driven from electric motors. Shaft 4 carries a sector rack 25 driven by a worm 26 on the shaft 21 of motor- 28. Inasmuch as the action of rotation of shaft 4 is slight, balancing springs 29 may be employed. Likewise, shaft 5 carries a sector rack 30 in mesh with a worm 3| on the shaft 32 of motor 33 and motor shaft 32 may be provided with balancing springs 29.13.
The operation of the structure shown in Figure 10 will be explained by reference to the wiring diagram shown in Figure 10a, as follows:
When the upper of the two vertical rudders meets the beam, current is led from low power battery 22 via wire 16, the cell and wire 17 to switch 24 which throws switch arm 18 to the left closing a circuit through one side of motor 33 via battery 2|, wires 19 and and ground 8|.
When the beam meets the lowermost of the two vertical rudders, current will flow from battery 22 through wires 16, 82, energizing switch 24a and closing a circuit from battery 2| via wires 19, 83 and ground Bl.
When the left hand horizontal rudder meets the beam, current is led from low power battery 22 via wires 16, 84, through the appropriate cell through wire 85 and the switch 242: which operates arm 86 closing a circuit from battery 2| via wires 81, 88 and ground 89.
When the right hand horizontal rudder meets the beam a circuit is closed leading from battery 22, wires 16, 30, through the appropriate cell of the rudder and via wires 9|, 92 through switch 24b to the ground closing acircuit through motor 28 via. wires [9 and 33.
In the structure of Figures 13 to 16 inclusive, compressed air is used for the power to move the rudders. Shaft 4 carries a crank arm 34 which is the same in construction as the crank arm 35 shown in Figure 13 as carried by shaft 5. Each of these crank arms has a slotted outer end to receive a stud 36 carried by the appropriate one of the two piston rods, that for crank arm 34' being shown at 31, and that for crank arm 35 being shown at 38. Each piston rod carries a piston 39, 39a: disposed normally intermediate the ends of its appropriate cylinder 40, 403:.
Referring to Figure 16, it will be seen that each cylinder is associated withan oscillatory valve, that for cylinder 40 being indicated at 4|, and the valve for cylinder 40:: being shown at 42. These oscillatory valves are well known in the fluid pressure engine art and require little'description. Each valve has two spaced ports, one at each end of the cylinder. When compressed air is led into one end of the cylinder, the port at that end communicates with an air intake duct shown at 43, Figure 16, whereas the second port communicates with an air discharge duct 44, and
vice versa. The air discharge duct 44 may be opened to portions of the fin slots .so that the exhaust air may pass to the atmosphere. In practice, the compressed air chamber will be directly bounded by walls of the controlcasing and will receive air under pressure from a suitable source via a normally plug-closed pressure valve of the Schrader type. In the drawings, and for clarity of illustration, compressed air is shown as contained within a separate tank 45 communicating by pipe 46 with pressure duct 43, and communicating by pipe 41 with pressure duct 43 of the second cylinder.
Each valve 4|, 42 is oscillated by a double acting solenoid, that for valve 4| being shown in Fi e 15, and that for valve 42 being the same in construction. It will be seen that valve 4| carries slotted lever arm 48 engaged by a rod 43 carried by the core 50 of solenoid The solenoids and wiring diagram will be the same as the solenoids l3 and I3 and wiring diagram of Figure 3,'which previously have been described.
