Definitions

  • the object of the present invention is to provide such means which will answer these various imperatives and will moverover have the marked advantages of extreme simplicity and absolute safety.
  • This means consists substantially in a special cartridge with a standard case having a bullet shaped plug which is characterized by the fact that it contains an axial bore which goes right through the length of the plug, whereby this bore is used as a container for an ignition charge.
  • the case will preferably be of brass and the plug of aluminium, both being duly made to hold fast to each other and the whole being, With respect to shape and size, preferably similar to a normal cartridge.
  • the firearm may either be provided with its normal loaded magazine or not, so that when the projectile fitted to the muzzle of the arm has been fired, normal firing may he proceeded with or resumed.
  • normal firing can be discontinued for firing of special projectiles such as winged grenades. All that is needed, is that the rifieman has such special projectile at hand, as Well as the special cartridges conforming to the present invention. It will be particularly noticed that this novel means practically excludes all wrong moves and that the operation of such special cartridges does not require any practice nor special training.
  • This special cartridge can obviously be adapted to fit "ice any known firearm which is generally used for firing special projectiles.
  • FIGURE 2 is a cross-section by a plane perpendicular to the axis as represented by the straight line IIII of FIGURE 1;
  • FIGURE 3 is an exploded view showing respectively the normal case and the special bullet-shaped plug
  • FIGURE 5 shows on a larger scale the upper part A of the plug.
  • This particular form of embodiment thus comprises the absolutely normal case 1 and the special bullet-shaped plug 2.
  • the latter is special in this way that it contains an axial bore 3 terminated by two recesses 4-5.
  • This central bore 3 is filled with a charge 6 of ignition powder, such as black powder for instance.
  • a cap 78 made of small discs of some easily tearable material, such as paper, held by means of a ring 9-10 respectively which is itself held into place by crimping in the corresponding parts 11-12 respectively of the plug.
  • the latter On the outside, the latter has the usual peripheral groove 13 into which the edge 14 of the normal case is set.
