SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 294,177, dated February 26, 1834.
I Application filed January 3, 1884. (No model.) I
To all whom it concern Be it known that 1', MARoELLUs S. ALEX- ANDER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Moorefield, West Virginia, have invented new and useful Improvements in Gun- I of which the following is a specification..
My invention relates toan improvement in wads designed particularly for use in load ing cartridges. of fastening the last wad in cartridges have been employed, and the one most generallyv in use is that of crimping the shell itself from the wad upward, making that portion of the shell enough smaller in circumference to ef-= fectually prevent the Wed from rising unless explosion of the charge.
extraordinary pressure is exerted, as by the Aside from the l fact that this way of securing the wad requires the use of a more or less expensive F implement for doing'the crimping, it has another disadvantage in that a paper shell ing the wad is in providing the same with a after it has been oncef'crimped and fired, is nearly destroyed{ and in a great measure unfit for further use. Another way of securf coating of mu'cil'age or analogous material around its periphery, and by this means sea1 n'0ng which is the cost of the wads, which,
curing it to the innner walls of 'the shell. This method has many defects, principal is very great, comparatively speaking, because the periphery of the wad, in order to form a suitable-surface for the deposition of the adhesive coating, has to be glazed or prepared in a like manner to present a hard surface.
My invention has for its object to provide a wadj cheap inconstruction and easy of application, and by the use'of which the loadis secured in a shell with all desirable firmness,
and also by" the use of which a paper shell may be used an indefinite number of times.
view of my improved wad, and Fig. 2 a cen- With this end'in view my invention consists of a wad provided with a disk of paper or cloth secured to the said wad by'pressure or by the interposition of adhesive material.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective tral vertical section of a shell with the wad applied.
Heretofore several methods which is of the ordinary thickness, and which rial. B represents the disk, which is preferably notched around its eige, forming leaves b, to insure the ready upturning of the edges when the rod is forced into the shell.
to allow the edges on each side of the notch to meet and form a continuous upturned portion, which comes in contact with the interior face of the shell. The under sides of the and in applying the wad the leaves are moist-- cried, and t n the wad is forced down into the shell. his brings the leavesinto contact ery of said wad, said projectingportion becuring the wad scribed.
