Definitions

  • known hunting shells or cartridges posses the property of totally or partially distinegrating or breaking up the animal after the animal has been shot.
  • a groove is defined in the projectile body so as to form a cylindrical penetrating shot Ifor effectively bringing down the hunted game.
  • an elfective composite projectile may be provided for hunting game, which comprises Ia hard projectile mass having a hard jacket therefor and a soft projectile mass having -a separate jacket therefor.
  • 'I'he hard jacket is provided with a soiiter forward extension portion at one end enclosing partially the soft projectile mass and its separate jacket, the remainder of the soft projectile mass extending past the end of said softer forward extension portion so as .to form the composite projectile tip.
  • the composite projectile tip is preferably provided with an outwardly diverging conical recess, the apex angle of the conical portion of which may vary within fairly wide I'limi-ts. Morevover, the end of the soft projectile mass enclosed partially the softer forward extension portion remote from the projectile tip is desirably frusto-conically shaped.
  • a controllable d-isintegration of the projectile may be attained depending upon the angle of the conical recess. It will be appreciated that as this angle changes the projectile disintegration will occur earlier or later as the same passes through the animal body.
  • the construction in accordance with the present invention permits the desired disintegration of one projectile mass in the lanimal body, yet guarantees an exit opening due to the presence of a sufficiently strong piercing body. rIlhus, it is seen that the soft projectile mass Ahaving the conical recess therein will distinegrate as desired while the hard projectile mass will cause the channel to be formed through the animal body and will also guarantee an exit opening in the animal hide.
  • United States Patent O ICC Referring to the drawing, the figure illustrates a composite projectile for use in shells, bullets, cartridges, and the like, especially for hunting purposes, having a hard lead projectile mass or plug 3 enclosed -within a hard steel elongated jacket 1, said jacket being provided with a softer steel forward extension approximately along the distance 2.
  • the softer forward extension portion is achieved by inductive heat treatment, such as by heat tempering the forward portion of jacket 1.
  • a soft lead projectile mass or elongated plug 5 is enclosed -within a soft copper jacket 4.
  • Such plug 5 is disposed in abutting engagement with the correspondingly situated portion of the hard plug 3, said plug 5 being partially enclosed within the softer forward extension 2 of jacket 1.
  • the remainder of the soft lead plug 5, extending past the forward end of extension portion 2, is inwardly directed so Ias to form the tip of the composite projectile.
  • Such tip portion is provided with an outwardly diverging conical recess 6 having the angle a. It will :be appreciated that, in accordance with the present invention, this angle may be adjusted within wide limits, for instance, so -as to form a conical recess 6' having an angle a depending upon the timing and extent to which the soft lead plug 5 is to be dist-integrated the animal body. ⁇ O-f course, the hard plug 3 will be sufficient to guarantee a piercing of the animal hide and a channeling through the animal body.
  • the hard lead plug 3 may be formed of any lead alloy contributing the 'desire-d characteristics required for channeling and piercing the while the soft lead plug 5 may carry a soft copper jacket having particularly high expansion characteristics.
  • the rearward portion of soft lead plug 5 is slightly frusto-conically shaped in order to transverse reiforcement which might otherwise decrease the desired disintegration or breaking-up of this particular mass of the composite porjectile.
  • the particular type of game to be shot, the projectile velocity, the projectile weight, the disintegration propensity of the projectile and therewith the effect in the -animals body are specifically influenced, in accordance with applicants construction, by the presence of the conical recess in the composite projectile tip as well as the outwardly diverging angle of such recess.
  • the rearrnost portion of the composite projectileie., the rearmost portion of hard lead plug 3- may be similarly frusto-conically shaped in the manner of the preferred shaping of the rearmost portion of soft lead plug 5.
  • Composite projectile comprising a rearward hard projectile mass having a ihard jacket therefor and a separate forward soft projectile mass having a separate soft jacket therefor, said hard jacket having a soft forward extension portion at one end, enclosing partially the rea-rward portion of said soft projectile mass and its separate jacket, the remainder of said soft projectile mass and its separate jacket extending past the end of said soft forward lextension portion to form the composite projectile tip.
  • Composite projectile comprising a softer forward projectile mass and -a harder rearward projectile mass, said :forward projectile being enclosed within a softer jacket and said rearward projectile being enclosed within a harder jacket, said projectiles being descrete with respect to one another, said harder jacket having a softer forward extension portion ⁇ at one end thereof, enclosing partially the rearward portion of said forward projectile and the rearward portion of said softer jacket, the forward portion of said rearward projectile being disposed within said forward extension portion in abutment With the rearward portion of said softer jacket, the forward portion of said forward projectile forming the composite projectile tip.
  • Composite projectile for hunting game comprising an elongated hard steel outer jacket pontion containing a hard lead projectile mass therewithin, an elongated, copper jacket enclosed soft lead projectile means having a rear portion and a front portion, said projectiles being discrete with yrespect to one another, said hard steel outer jacket portion having a forward extension portion of heattreated steel which is softer th-an the remaining hard steel outer jacket portion, said forward extension portion partially enclosing said elongated, copper jacket enclosed soft lead project-ile mass with the rear portion of said copper jacket enclosed lead projectile mass abutting said hard lead projectile mass, lthe remainder of said elongated, copper jacket enclosed soft lead projectile mass extending past the end of said forward extension pontion, the front portion of said enclosed soft lead projectile mass forming the tip of fthe composite projectile mass, said tip being integral land provided with an outwardly divergfing conical recess.
  • Tt is hereby certified that error appears in the above numbered pat'- ent requiring correction and that the said Letters Patent should read as corrected below.
