UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
ALFRED ELY, OF NEVTON, MASSACHUSETTS.
IMPROVEMENT IN CHAIN-SHOT FOR ORDNANCE.
Specification forming part of Leiters Patent No. 31.626, dated March 1l, 1562.
ipart of this specification, in which- Figure l is a view of my improved shot closed and ready to be inserted into a gun;
Fig. 2, a viewr of .two of the detachable sections of which the shot is composed.
Chain-shot, as ordinarily fired from a smoothbore cannon, consist of two spherical shot connected together by a strong chain, the chain occupying a position in the bore of the gun, betweenthe two shot. It wj l1 not answer, however, to fire such shot from ariedcannon, as the shot and chain coming in contact with the grooves of the gun would deface the` grooves. The object of my present invention is to produce a chain-shot suitable for firing from a ried cannon; and my invention consists of a cylindro-conoidal or other convenient form of shot,which is divided into two or more sections, the sections being connected in pairs by a chain from one section to the other of a' pair, a suitable recess being formed in one or both of the sections to receive the chain when the sections are placed in contact with each other, a band of canvas or other suitable packing being used to hold the sections in place while the shot is loaded or transported, and which also serves as a packing to protect the grooves of the gun. leaving the shot on the discharge of the gun, permits the sections to separate one from the other to the length of the connecting-chain.
That others skilled in the art may understand and use my invention, I will proceed to describe the manner in which I have carried it out.
In the said drawings, Fig. 1 represents a cylindro-conoidal shot,which is divided longitudinally into four sections, a I` n d. These This band or packing,
| when placed togetherv are held in position by a canvas band, c, and by a thin wire or cord, f, which is bound tightly around the upper end of the shot in a groove, fi. The band e is partly embedded in a recess, g, formed around the cylindrical part of the shot, it being intended that this band shall project beyond the surface of the shot, and servev as a packing to protect the grooves of a ri tied gun from contact with thc shot. (In practice the shot e will be made wider, and felt or other suitable material may be employed.) The sections-two of which are shown detached in Fig. 2-are coupled in pairs by a chain, h, which, when the sections are brought into contact with each other, lies part in each recess l, formed in the dat face o1' the section.
The form of this shot, the number of sections into which it is divided, and also the` form and material of the baud or packingmiay be varied without departing from the spiritof my invention, these requisites, however, being preserved-viz., that the sections shall be ofsuch a size and form that they may contain the con nectin g-chains between them when they are brought together, and may, when closed into one compact' body, present such a form as can be conveniently held together by the band or packing which protects t-he grooves.
I do not claim, broadly, the sectional project-- ile which has its parts connected in pairs by a chain contained within the sections or within the projectile; but
to secure by Letters Patent ofthe United States, 1s-
The projectile constructed in sections held together by bands that are to be ruptured by the explosion of the charge of the gun, and this only when the sections are held bya chain contained within the projectile.
