The arming wire 1 may be wrapped several times around the container body, as shown in Figure 2, and attached to a hook provided in notch l2 of the shackle bar. On release, as shown in Figure 5, shackles I0 and H are opened while the notch hook or shackle I2 remains closed. Thus the container begins to drop, and the arming wire causes the container to rotate a number of revosaturated organic compounds which very rapidly 'and exothermically become oxidized in the preslutions as it attains a certain rotative speed.
When the arming Wire 1 becomes extended its 1 full length and attains full tension, the inertia.
of the revolving and falling container is suffi cient to cause the tear-strip to become completely,
twisted off, as shown in Figure 6, without excessive shock or strain.
4 formed as receptacles which are frangible or subject to cleavage on sufficient impact corresponding to the impact they receive in hitting the target or ground after falling.
The flammable receptacles should be inert to their spontaneously ignitable contents and impermeable to air or should have an inner lining or container inert and impermeable in these re- 7 spects for enveloping the spontaneously ignitable Further, as shown in Figure 6, with the container opened into two parts, the springs act to push out the incendiary units. The shackles I0 and II may be operated in the usual manner through mechanical or electrical means from within the cockpit or bombardier station of a plane. Likewise, the notch hook I2 may be operated to open and release the arming wire and attached tear-strip as a safety measure after the container has been released to the fullest extent.
At the tail end, the container is provided with a valve means 13 for removing air and forcing in an inert gas, such as nitrogen, and with an attached conical stabilizer or equivalent tail fin for keeping the container in a substantially steady position as it falls into the air stream.
As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the incendiary units may be made up of squares l5 and I6 about A to inch thick. These squares may be made of Celotex or similar flammable fibrous material. They may be coated or impregnated with parafiin, or the like, to increase their combustibility and make them impermeable to air. The squares are joined together in pairs'and preferably arranged as shown in Figure 8 to make a unit. A recess I! may be provided in one or both of the squares as shown in Figure '7 on the side of the squares which becomes covered when the unit is put together. Within the recess is placed a phosphorus solution or suspension, and the unit is assembled as in Figure 8 by lightly melting parafin or adhesive plastic with which the two squares are impregnated and sticking the squares together to set the adhesive. Thus, the phosphorus may be kept sealed in the unit indefinitely, particularly if the phosphorus solution is substantially encased in a plastic, adhesive material which prevents access of air, until the unit becomes separated.
After the double square units have been discharged from the container, they become distributed through the air and are kept from igniting by virtue of the sealed assembly described.
Upon hitting the ground, in general, the individually frangible units tend to have an impact on one point or another, whereupon inertia forces them to separate as shown in Figure 10. When the unit becomes separated, the wet phosphorus suspension or solution becomes exposed to the air; and as the material becomes dried out by evaporation, the phosphorus becomes ignited and sets fire to the square. In this way extensive fires can be'started with a device of extremely simple construction.
The incendiary units may have various shapes. For example, they may be cubical, tubular,
spherical, etc. However, they are preferably" contents. The spontaneously ignitable material may include various substances, for example, un-
ence .of air and certain organo-metallic compounds. Solutions of these substances in flammable solvents may be placed within the receptacles provided they are in contact with materials to which they are inert. For example, a solution of divinyl acetylene or diethyl zinc in a hydrocarbon oil may be enveloped within a glass ampoule which, in turn, is enclosed by a receptacle made of a flammable material. In some instances the plastic used to envelop the spontaneously ignitable material may be one which is not readily flammable, as, for example, cellulose acetate. In having the spontaneously ignitable substance enveloped within a fibrous receptacle by glass or an inert plastic, the fibrous material of the receptacle may be chemically treated to increase its combustibility, as, for example, by nitration. In
other instances the receptacles may beconr trated in Figure 1. The liquid container does not necessarily require any internal projection means, such as springs, and may be filled to a proper level with a liquid agent, leaving a void for expansion. The container body may be made up with the tear-strip 5 in the midsection.
Methods other than soldering may be used for incorporating a tear-strip in the container. For example, the body may be fabricated as one piece but with a circumferential band l9 formed by partly shearing or stamping an indentation 20 onto the wall of the body. A loop Bis firmly welded into the bandfor attachment to an arming wire or cable, and in at least one place a weakening indentation may be made across the band. i The chemical container is also preferably provided with a threaded filling hole 2| for charging liquid into the container and closure plug 22 or equivalent valve means.
like the incendiary container, the liquid container may be provided with a stabilizer l4 at the tail end to maintain the container in a horizontal position as it falls into the air stream belowthe bomb bay to avoid bumping and make the openin the same fashion as a stream of liquid issuing from a spray tank.
The container and releasing assembly may be attached to a wing of an airplane. The container may be attached to a parachute.
The container casing may be made of sheet steel of about to 20 gage. A tear-strip soldered to abutting sections of the casing may be somewhat thinner.
A number of variation may be made in the structure of the container with the tear-strip releasing means to suit tactical needs. For example, perforated plates may be fixed within the container to be near the outlets of the sections of the container so that the liquid is ejected at a slower rate when the tear-strip is torn away. Or, the container may be constructed to have a weighted nose which remains fixed to the stabilized tail end, so that the container falls like a bomb and ejects liquid through openings left where the tear-strip is removed. Such a device may be released from high altitudes and aimed at an area target to be contaminated. Provisions may be made in such a container to have air or gas pressure or spring-activated piston means aid in forcing the liquid out as the container increases in velocity and descends toward the target. Also, an impact-detonated explosive charge may be incorporated into the container, as, for example, in the weighted nose to give added anti-personnel eflects and aid in checking the place where the container hit the ground.
Thus, it is to be understood that various modifications come within the spirit and scope of the invention.
