Description

UNITED; STATES PATENT' GFFICEo ANTHONY BERNARD- TUBINI, oF LONDON, ENGLAND.
SPECIFICATGN forming part of Letters Patent No. 684,653, dated October .15, 1901.
v Application led November 20, 1900. Serial-No. 37,151.' (No model.)
journey of th'eprojectile or during the transit of the projectile through the air at a prede termined tlistance,1he ignition being causedA either' by concussion, ,timefuse, or other means, thus enabling movements of troops,
at night or in the dusk.
The illuminating agent may be magnesium or any other known substance capable of ignition by concussion or time-fuse or other means. i
iVhen the projectile is of elongated-bullet `shape, I prefer that the illuminating agentbe attached to the base, and the casing holding the illuminating agent may be slitted or perforated o r so made'or wadded that when the places, or other objects to be distinguished ignition takes place the explosion or the flame will open the hole or eject the wad and illumine the place at which the bullet struck, or
such illuminating agent may be protected by a waterproof material capable of fusion orignition of the illuminating agent, or if lit, be desired that a time-'fuse be employed itmay be arranged that the illuminating agent be ignited before the projectile has finished its travel andhy explosion or other means free itself from the projectile, and so illumine the place around which it left the projectile, the chief feature of the invention being the combination of the illuminating agent with an ordinary bullet, shell, or like project-ile, the illuminating agent being ignited either during the travel of a projectile or at the end of its journey to'enable places ormovements of an' enemy to be inspected during darkness.`
In Vthe annexed sheets of drawings Figures 1 to indicaie several examples, in sectional elevation, oi new my invention can be `carried into effect.
Fig. 1 indicates in longitudinal section a projectile in which 'the magnesium or other illuminating agent A is placed within a recess made in the body of the projectile or sur-v rounded bya protector-creasing i3, which be-l comes ignited or torn asunder whenthe magnesinm is tired. The firing is effected by the striking of the projectile against an obstaclel this flattening the nose of the projectile land acting upon the rod C, arranged within the projectile, this rod C striking the fulminatc D, which in turn sets fire to the magnesium Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section cfa. projectile in which the fnlminate D is in connec tion with a timefuse F, this in time communicating with the magnesium A, which in this case is `of rope o r band form, coiled around the projectile and incascd with a composi.-
tion to support its steady combustion.-
Fig. 4 is a similaiviewof a projectile in Vwhich the rod C acts upon two other rods C C2 for exploding the fulminate in two places. The base of the projectile in this case is provided with a screw G for aliixing to the pro# jectile.
Fig. 5 is a longitudinal section eta projectile having a coil of magnesium Wire or rope incased in a preparation to insure steady combustion, the base being secured to the projectile.
All the above figures have the illuminating agent incased in a groove on tliegoutside of the projectiie, but at Fig. G I show the magnesium in coil form arranged in a recess, theV fulminate being arranged upon a disk or wad lL'which becomes ejected si m n ltaneouslywith the fir-ing of the fulminate.
Fig. is a similar view to Fig. G, the magnesium being applied to the recess in bulk.
What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. In combination, a projectile,an illumi- .nating means carried thereby, and means embedded in said projectile for igniting said illuminating means. p l
inbination, aj projectilman illuml- In co roo.
said illuminating means, and a'fnlminate for the said timefuse adapted to be struck by the said rod. A
In vtestimony. whereof I have hereunto set 15 my hand in presence of two subscribing Witlnessesi.
