' OIL-CARRYING SHELL.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 379,161, dated March 6, 1888.
Application filed December 22, 1887. Serial-No. 258,742. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that l, GEORGE A. HEATH, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Geneva, in the county of Orange and State of Florida, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil Carrying Shells; and I do hereby declare the following to bea full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form apart of this specification.
My invention relates to an improved oil cartridge or shell; and it consists in the novel construction and arrangement of the parts thereof, which will, be more fully hereinafter described, and particularly pointed out in the claims. v
The object of my invention is to provide a cartridge or shell containing a charge of oil for quieting rough water, with a charge of powder or other explosive for propelling the same from a gun or mortar, and also for spread ing the oil. I attain this object by the con struction illustrated in the accompanying drawing, which represents alongitudinal vertical section of my improved device.
A indicates the outer shell or casing, suitably constructed of metal, having a suitable partitionplate, B, upon one side of which a charge of powder, 0, is placed and ignited by a percussion'cap, c, as shown. A similar cartridge or shell, D, is mounted in connection with the oppositeside of the partition-plate B, and is also provided with a charge of powder, E, or other suitable explosive. Projecting slightly through the partition-plate B into the charge of powder 0, and into the explosive .material within the shell D, is a fuse, F.
Surrounding the internal cartridge, D, a charge of oil, G, is carried within the compartment formed by the partition-plate B and the point of said cartridge. In the construction of this cartridge, the partition-plate and internal cartridge, D, are placed within the outer shell, A, in such-a manner as to leave a space between the butt of the cartridge and the said partition-wa1l for the reception of a charge of powder or other explosive O. The capis then placed over the cartridge, as shown, it being understood that the oil will have first been placed within the outer shell, A. When this projectile is propelled from the gun or mortar, the charge of powder 0 ignites the fuse E, which in turn ignites the charge E and explodes that portion of the shell carrying the oil, which spreads it over the surface of the water.
It will be understood that the charge of powder 0 propels the cartridge, and the oil is not spread upon the surface of the water until the internal cartridge, D, is exploded, which will take place sometime after the explosion of the charge of powder 0. By this means the best results can be obtained and the oil rendered more effective in its desired use. It will also be understood that any explosive material may be used and oil which gives the best results for the desired purpose.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is-- 1. The combination, with the outer shell or casing, the interior partition-plate having an interiorly arranged cartridge resting thereagainst and supported thereby,which contains an explosive material, a fuse extending through said plate and projecting into the explosive of the interiorly-arranged cartridge, a charge of explosive material upon the opposite side of the partition-plate to propel the projectile entire, and an oil-reservoir surrounding the interiorly-arranged cartridge, the explosion of the said interior cartridge, caused by the ignition of the fuse transmitting fire from the propelling charge of explosive, spreading the oil upon the water, substantially as described.
2. The combination of the outer main shell or casing, having an interior partition-plate dividing the shell into two parts for carrying oil and a propulsive explosive, respectively, and an interiorlyarranged cartridge within the oil'chamber containing an explosive ma terial and connected to the propulsive explosive by a fuse, substantially as described.
3. A device for discharging oil upon the sea or waters when agitated, consisting of a shell or receptacle provided with an interior partition dividing the same into an explosive and oil oha1nbers,' and an explosive cartridge sus tridge within and surrounded by the oil and pended in the oil-chamber independentof the connected to thepropelling-explosive bynfuse. to main explosive chamber and connected With In testimony whereof I affiX my signatnrein the latter chamber by a fuse, substantially as presence of two witnesses.
