SECTIONAL CARTRIDGE-SHELL.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N o. 347,051, dated August 10I 1886. Application und July 2a, less. serial No. 112,390. (Ntmoael.)
To all wwm it may concern:
Be it known that I. HosEA W. LIBBEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Mas sachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Sectional Cartridge-Shells, of which the following is a specification.
The object of my invention is to construct a cartridgeshell that can be loaded by hand, without the employment of any kind of machine; and the invention consists in making the shell in two parts, one part for containing powder, and the other part for shot, the two parts being secured together by a suitable locking device.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a view of the shell as it appears when the two parts are united together. Fig. 2 is view of the two parts disconnected. Fig. 3 is a section of the two parts disconnected, when loaded. Fig. 4 is a section of the shell loaded and ready for use. Fig. 5 is a plan view of the under side of the upper half, and Fig. 6 is a plan view of the upper end of the lower part. Fig. 7 is a section through one of the wads.
In carryingout my invention I make the cartridge-shell in two parts, and secure them together by means of a male-and-female joint. The lower part, A, is formed at its base in the usual manner, and its other end is iliade of smaller external diameter, 'whichforms the male portion a of the joint, and is provided with pins or studs b. The upper part of the shell B is provided at its inner end with a recess, c, that constitutes the female portion of the j oint, which is also provided with a groove,
d, and with apertures e, extending from the groove d tothe outer edge, so that when it is desired to connect the two parts A and B the portion a is inserted into the recess c, with the pins or studs b opposite the apertures e, so that they will pass up to the groove d, when the two parts A and B are turned slightly and locked together by the pins b entering the groove d. The upper or outer end of the part B is closed by means of a covex wad, C. This wad is secured in position when the car tridge-shell is in process of manufacture, so that the shot can be placed in this part ofthe shell and its lower end closed by means of a wad, D, which latter is composed of a basepiece, f, (see Fig. 7,) and a convex piece, g, (made of paper, felt, or other suitable matcrailD secured together by means of a cord, h, and the edges of the base-piece f are turned up over the convex piece g.
When the two parts A and B have respectively been charged with powder and shot, and a wad D placed over each, they are pressed together to be locked. The convex parts of the wads will cometogether and be compressed,
packing the powder and shot and forcing the tu rned-up edge of the base-piece f hard against the inside of the shell, so that when the two parts are locked together the-two wads D D will be dat, or nearly so, as shown in Fig. 4. By this construction the shell can be loaded without the employment of any machine, all that is required being to place the proper quant-ity of powder and shot in the respective parts ofthe shell and place a wad D on the top of them, then bring the two parts of the Shell together and press them until the pins b enter the groove d, then slightly turn the two parts, and they are secure] y locked together, and the powder and shot packed to the required deree.
g Although I have shown and described the wads D of peculiar construction, I have not claimed the same, as I intend to make the said wads the subject of a future application, and wads of the ordinary kind can be used in place of the wads Shown.
Instead of a male-and-femalejoint constructed on the principle of the bayonet-joint, as shown` any other suitable joint may be employed.
What I claim as my invention is- A sectional cartridge-shell composed of the two parts A and B, connected together by a suitable locking-joint, the upper part, B, for holding shot, being provided with a convex wad, C, at its outer end, and at its inner end with a wad, D, composed of a base-piece, f, to which is secured by means of a cord, h, a convex piece of paper, felt, or metal, g, the upper end of the part A being provided with a compressible wad, D, substantially as shown and described.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification iu the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
HoSEA W. LI'BBEY.
