Application filed July 2, 1907.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, RALPH WAYNE HARRIS, a citizen ot the United States, residing at Montour Falls, in the county of Schuyler and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Cartridge-Shells, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to. cartridge shells and while herein illustrated as of that character employed inconnection with magazine or other rii'les, itis to be understood as having a range of utility as to adapt it for use in connection with shot guns or other small arms.
The object of the invention is to provide a cartridge shell which shall be Wholly consumed by the discharge of the cartridge, whereby the necessity of removing a s )ent shell from the magazine or breech of a rifle or gun will be positively obviated, thereby saving time that would otherwise be lost and which in case of eiliergency would he valuable. Furthermore, to render the shell absolutely moisture proof and of sutlicient stability to withstand usage to which it Will be subjected in being placed in a magazine or lbreech of a gun or the like.V Y
With the above and other objects in view, as will appear as the nature of the. invention is better understood, the same consists, generally stated, in a cartridge shell composed of a wholly combustible material.
The invention consists further of a cartridge shell composed of a material that will be consumed when the cartridge is fired.
The invention consists further in a cartridge shell composed a water proof material that will be consumeg'l when the shell is .iii-ed.
The invention consists further in a cartridge .shell composed of a gelatinous material.
The invention consists further in the various novel details ol" construction ol a cartridge. shell and cartridge, as will be hereina-l'ter lully described and claimed.
vIn the accompanying drawings forming a part olE this specification, and in which like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts, Figure 1 is a View in side. elevation of one form of cartridge. and shell embodied in the. present invention. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal `vertical sectional View through the` cartridge and shell shown in Fig. l.

rifle or the breach thereof without liabiliizywff'- of destruction or of being injured.
'.l he cartridge 2, which may be of any pref. ferred type, has embedded in it one end of a rod 3, the other end of which extends to the...7 rim of the shell and carries the cap 4, thatportion of. the rod engaged by the wap being'. provided with a head 5 to present an ell'icient and thoroughly ell'ective abutment that Will insure the explosion of the cap when struck S115 by the plunger or iire pin. The 'assemblage'v between the cartridge and the cap or carrying. 'rod may be et any preferred charaoterM-that. is to say, it may be either rigid therewith or be so assembled so that when thei bulletor cartridge leaves the rifle, the rod will .drop therefrom. yj The. shell herein described will be found to iossess advantages over the ordinary rnetal.` lie shell in that it is lighter, so that a greater number ot' rounds may be carried by the soldier, vand further as it is wholly consumed when the. shell is "fired, the necessity oi' removing the shell is obviated and the employment of a cartridge extractor which is always liable to become deranged iS obviated.
What I claim is: A cartridge comprising a shell and base integral in structure and composed of a highly combustible gelatinous material, a projectile carried by the shell, and a firing cap carried bythe. projectile and held in proxf.` iniity to the base of Vthe shell.
ln testimony whereof, I allix my signature in jlresence of two witnesses. f f RALPH WAYNE I'IARRIS@ lVitncsses: MARK I-l. SKINNER, LEWIS JouNsoN.
