Definitions

  • the present invention relates to explosive projectiles, more specifically to the firing mechanism for setting oif the explosive charge of the projectile, particularly of a projectile with hollow charge effect.
  • one of the objects of the present invention is to provide a novel and improved explosive projectile, particularly a projectile of the hollow charge type, which can be readily and conveniently assembled and filled with the explosive charge.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a novel and improved design of the firing mechanism which eliminates the necessity of a tube leading from the hollow cone in the front part to the detonator in the rear part.
  • Such a design not only simplifies the manufacture and assembly of the projectile but also affords the advantage that the chamber for the explosive charge is free of bstructions thereby facilitating the filling of the projectile.
  • Still another object of the invention is to provide a novel and improved firing mechanism in which the jet of flame heretofore used to activate the firing mechanism 7 is replaced by electric means rendered operative by impact for the purpose aforesaid.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a novel and improved firing mechanism in which the potential required to set off the detonator is generated by the impact experienced by the projectile when it strikes an obstacle.
  • Fig. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of a projectile equipped with a firing mechanism according to the invention.
  • Fig. 2 is a sectional view similar to Fig. 1 and showing a modification of the firing mechanism.

  • Disc 8 is preferably a slab of a crystalline substance, more particularly of one of the twenty crystal classes that are now known to exhibit the piezoelectric phenomenon of generating a voltage in response to deformations induced in the substance by external forces.
  • Crystalline substances of this type are for instance quartz, Rochelle salt, or lithium sulphate.
  • piezoelectric ceramics have also been developed. Ceramic materials of this type are polycrystalline in nature, basically made up of barium titanate and subjected to a special polarizing treatment. Generally speaking, all materials that are now known or may become known in the future which exhibit the piezoelectric phenomenon are suitable for the purpose.

  • the hollow space circumscribed by cone 2 and the walls of casing part 1 is filled with an explosive charge '31.
  • plugs 24 and 30 are removed. Explosive material is then fed into the casing through the large opening up to a level such that when the plug 24 is replaced the contact spring 27 will make firm contact with conductive layer 22. Plug 24 is ,then tightened and further explosive charge is filled into the casing through bore 29 until the available space in the casing-is completely filled.
  • cone 2 does not require an opening in its apex for inserting therein the aforementioned tube for guiding a jet of flame considerably facilitates the filling operation.

  • the projectile according to Fig. 4 is distinguished from the previously described exemplifications of the invention according to Figs. 1 and 2 in that the conductive and insulation layers or bands in casing part 3, cone 2 and casing part 1 and the contact springs coacting therewith are omitted and replaced by a cable 12' connecting the respective side of disc 8 with primer 26.
  • cable 12' is extended through an insulation bushing 34 in the bottom of easing part 1 and a similar insulation bushing 35 is fitted in the larger plug designated by 24'.
  • the design of the chamber formed in the plug is also slightly changed in that bushing 28 is omitted and the cover plate is made wider and designated by 24a.
