Definitions

  • casingless propellant charge elements in boxes. Generally, about one hundred of the charge elements are packaged in each box. However, the charge elements are not arranged in any ordered manner but are placed in a loose random arrangement within the container.
  • This form of packaging casingless propellant charge pellets is disadvantageous for a number of reasons. For instance, if one of the charge elements should ignite within the container the entire contents of the container would burn up. In such an event, the intense heat generated when one box of charge elements is burned would tend to ignite adjacent boxes. Further, in addition to the safety hazard involved, the loose packaging arrangement of the charge elements is also disadvantageous from the viewpoint of storing and handling the elements.
  • propellant charge elements are disposed in a loose arrangement, some of them may break during transportation or they may disintegrate due to rubbing against one another. In addition, removing the individual charge elements from the box presents a problem due to their small size and lack of any ordered arrangement.
  • a primary object of the present invention is directed to provide a container or dispensing device for casingless propellant charge elements which affords improved safety and better means for storing and handling the charge elements.
  • Another object of the invention is to afford a container for holding the casingless propellant charge elements in serial alignment in an ordered arrangement.
  • a further object of the invention is to arrange means for effecting the loading of the charge elements into the container and for holding the charge elements within the containers.
  • Yet another object is to provide a device for dispensing the charge elements from the container.
  • Still another object is to supply means for packaging multiple containers of the casingless propellant charge elements.
  • the container for the charge elements has a tubular fonn with a transverse configuration the same as the corresponding shape of the charge elements.
  • the charge elements are held either by the walls of the container or by projections extending inwardly of the container for retaining the charge elements in place.
  • the invention is directed to means for storing and dispensing the propellant charge elements in an ordered arrangement to prevent any damage to the elements due to attrition because of relative movement between individual ones of the elements and also to provide improved safety by affording individual dispensation of the charge elements from the packaging member. Therefore, it is within the scope of the invention to provide separators between individual charge elements within the container. Moreover, for safety purposes, a noncombustible material of poor heat conductivity can be used in making the containers for the charge elements.
  • FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal sectional view of a container embodying the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is a transverse cross scction taken along line Il-ll of FIG. I;
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view partially broken away, of another container embodying theinvention
  • FIG. 4 is an enlarged perspective view of the circled portion IV in FIG. 3;
  • FIG. 5 and 5a are enlarged perspective views of the circled portion V of FIG. 3;
  • FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a packaging member for a number of the containers shown in FIG. I.
  • FIGS. 7 and 7a illustrate a dispensing assembly incorporating the containers illustrated in FIG. I;
  • FIG. 1 there is illustrated a magazine or container 11 for casingless propellant charge elements formed of a longitudinally extending sleeve 1, preferably made of cardboard or plastic.
  • the sleeve has a slot 7, see FIG. 2, extending for the length of the sleeve.
  • the charge elements 2 have a waferlike cylindrical section and are disposed in serial arrangement within the sleeve 1.
  • the sleeve I In its emptied condition the sleeve I has a smaller diameter than the diameter of the charge elements 2, accordingly, when the charge elements are inserted into the sleeve, the sleeve expands slightly and exerts a certain gripping or compressive action on the cylindrical periphery of the charge elements holding them in position.
  • a container 12 for casingless propellant charge ele ments 2 is formed of a longitudinally extending tubular shaped member 10 which has an inside diameter slightly greater than the diameter of the cylindrically shaped charge elements.
  • the upper end of the member 10 has an inwardly projecting annular shaped member 3 with an inside diameter slightly less than the diameter of the charge elements 2.
  • four longitudinally extending slots 4 are formed extending for a short distance from the upper end of the member 10.
  • FIGS. 5 and 5a enlarged detailed views are shown of the lower end of the member 10 with a pair of diametrically opposed extensions 5 projecting downwardly at least a distance equal to the thickness of an individual charge element 2.
  • flangelike members 6 extend radially inwardly forming a pair of oppositely arranged shoulders for supporting the charge elements 2 at the lower or outlet end of the member I0. While in FIG. 5 the flangelike members 6 extend only partly across the opening from the member 10, it is possible to have the flanges 6 extend entirely across the bottom of the member 10 forming a continuous barlike closure for that end of the container 12.
  • the elements slide downwardly from the upper to the lower end by virtue of their own weight.
  • the length of the extensions 5 is sufficient to permit one or more of the propellant charge elements 2 to be supported by the flangelike members 6 exteriorly of lower end of the member 10.
  • individual ones of the charge elements 3 can be removed from the bottom of the member 10 in an easy manual operation without any likelihood of damage or misalignment being caused to the other charge elements contained within the member 10.
  • the charge elements have a waferlike cylindrical shape, however, it can be appreciated that other shapes of the charge element can be utilized within similarly shaped containers.
  • a box 8 is shown for packaging several of the containers l.
  • the spacing between adjacent containers is identified by the reference character d.
  • the divider strip 9 the containers can be spaced a sufficient distance to reduce appreciably the possibility ofa fire within one of the loaded con tainers from spreading to an adjacent container.
  • the spacer distance d between adjacent containers within the box 8 should be selected in accordance with the properties of the materials forming the container, and the divider strip 9.
  • a dispenser assembly 13 is formed of a longitudinally extending cylindrically shaped holder member l4 forming a passageway within which the sleeve 1 is positioned.
  • the holder member 14 has an inwardly directed annular shaped projection 14a which forms a shoulder for retaining the sleeve 1 within the passageway ll5.
  • a closure cap 26 is removably secured and has an axially disposed bore ['7 within which a plunger 18 is guided.
  • the plunger 18 has a head member 18a which is positionable through the passageway 15 and is arranged to fit into the sleeve 1 in contact with the charge elements therein.
  • the plunger 18 is secured to end member 19 which has downwardly extending annular walls 190 forming a chamber 191; into which the closure cap 16 and holder member 14 slide during the charge element dispensing operation. It will be noted in FIG. 7a that the annular walls 190 of the end member 19 have a sufiieient interior diameter to telescope over the exterior surface of the holder member 14.
  • the plunger When the sleeve 1 is emptied the plunger is retracted, the cap member removed from the holder l4, and the empty sleeve is withdrawn from the passageway 15 within the holder member. With the closure member plunger and end member removed another sleeve 1 can be inserted and after the closure member 16 is threaded or otherwise inserted into the upper end of the holder member, the assembly device is again ready to dispense the charge elements 2.
