Definitions

  • the main feature of my invention consists in incorporating in'the shell in question, on the onegxhand a charge of-a ebrisant explosive-die ffJDGSBd. in the form of, at least one core extending 'fa'l0Ilg- 'atf1Qa/Stfi portion ofithe 1ength:;of the .-",;interna11.cavity .of, thersh l an i he o r i doand, .an incendiary-charge disposed; in the space located between said core and the shell wall.
  • Such shells have already been provided with, on the one hand, a charge of a brisant explosive-this expression designating in this case an explosive the velocity of explosion is higher than 1000 m. per sec. and, still preferably, 3000 in. per secondand, on the other hand, an incendiary charge this expression designating an incendiary charge of the known type which upon detonation forms a large volume of gases which when instantaneously produced gives a blasting effect as well as an incendiary action, these two charges being disposed one ahead of the other.
  • the brisant explosive charge is arranged in the form of a core having advantageously the form of a longitudinal rod extending preferably over the greatest possible length of the shell and the incendiary charge is housed in the space existing between said rod and the shell wall, so that this incendiary charge surrounds the brisant explosive charge.
  • the shell includes a hollow body I closed at the front by a fuse 2 with a detonator 3.
  • incendiary charge 4 in the form of a cylinder provided with an axial recess 5 in which is subsequently placed the charge of brisant explosive i (for instance trinitrotoluol or trotyl).
  • Incendiary charge 4 adjoins over all its inner surface the brisant explosive It is to becunderstpod 1 that -thera surfaces? f "incendiary :chargev 4- and ':-brisant explosive 6 are not restrictedto material- 1y; :direct contact. I Any relationship;-betweenthe 1' surfaces wherebnthe. 1 thermal andmechanical effectspf explosion; of. -the-brisa;nt explosive. 6
  • the axial recess 5 may be obtained jbylpuncha ing or. drilling.
  • :cavity 5 isr ilarger' near :the 113013380 IE'thatQthE TtOD iofvtheexexplosive: charge can be hollowed out at l to surround the detonator.
  • the axial cavity is given dimensions such that the weight of incendiary matter is about twice the weight of the explosive charge.
  • incendiary charge any suitable product.
  • incendiary composition the deflagration of which is accompanied with a blast effect, that is to say to a composition giving oif a considerable volume of gases upon defiagration.
  • the incendiary charge 4 is of a dry solid composition.
  • a composition giving good results in this respect may be constituted by a metal in the powder form (such as aluminum, magnesium, iron, etc.) mixed with an oxygen carrier (such as barium or strontium nitrate), the proportions being advantageously, for instance, as follows:
  • a binder such as resin in solution (colophony).
  • blast effect may be further intensified by the incorporation of a metal powder (for instance 15% of aluminum or magnesium) in the brisant explosive.
  • a shattering and incendiary shell which comprises, in combination, a hollow shell body, a charge of an explosive disposed in said body in the form of at least one core extending over at least a major portion of the length of the cavity of said body, said explosive being brisant such as trinitroltoluol, and having an incendiary charge disposed around said explosive core in the space existing between said core and the inner side wall of said body, said incendiary charge being constituted of a metal of the group consisting of aluminum, magnesium and iron in powder form, mixed with an oxygen carrier and a binder, said incendiary charge upon detonation forming a large volume of gases which when instantaneously produced gives a blasting effect as well as an incendiary action, said incendiary charge adjoining over its inner surface the brisant explosive and in thermic and mechanical contact therewith, whereby the incendiary charge is instantaneously inflamed by the brisant explosive.
