Description

UNITED STATES PATEN'E GFFIQEB CONRAD HUBER'I' HEINRICHCLAESSEN; OF BERLIN, GERMANY, ASSIGI\TOR TO E. I.
DU PON'I DE NEMOUBS POWDER COMPANY, OF WILMINGTON, DELAWARE, A COR- PORATION OF NEW JERSEY.
NITROCELLULOSE GUNPOWDER.
97 9,431 No Drawing. Application filed June 7,
To all whom concern Be it known that I, CO'NRAD HUBERT HEIN- RICH GLAESSEN, a subject of the King of Prussia, residlng at Berlin, Germairyr rhave invented new and useful NitrocelluloseGun powder; and I do hereby declare the follow;- 'ing to be a full, clear, and exactpleserip tio'n of the same;
'Heretofore it has been the practice to materials such as cam hor; diphenylamin-' or carbamid, to nit-roe lulosepowders an powders containing nitrocellulose and nitro-i glycerin, to lower the combustion temperature and also'to do away with the injurious effects which these explosives exert on the material ofthe barrel or bore, as .well as to regulate the relation between gas'pressure and initial velocity and to increase the stability of the powders.
My'exp'eriments have shown that all of, the above-mentioned purposes can be attained, and in a far greater degree, without impairing the ballisticqualities in powders,
'if fenchone is added thereto. The advantage arising'from the use of fenchone, in
place of the mentioned substances,'is that, in v itself, it furnishes an excellent gelatinizing material for nitrocellulose.
Specification of Letters Patent;
1910. Serial No. 565,615.
- i The proportions which I have. found by experiment to give excellent results are, (1.) 97% nitrocellulose with about 8% nitrogen content and 3% fenchone, or (2.) 30% nitroglycerin 65% nitrocellulose with about 12.9% nitrogen oontent,- 5% fenchone, The
two subscribing witnesses.
CONRAD HUBER'I. HElNRICH OLAESSEN.
.Witnesses:
WOLDEMAR HAUPT, HENRY HAsPnn.
components are, at the ordinary temperature :and'in the ordinary way, mixed together in name'to this specification in the presence of Patented Dec. 527, 19141. i
