Definitions

  • This invention relates to a cartridge for a device for firing a projectile and to a device for firing a projectile. Although described in relation to a device for de-arming/disrupting an explosive device, the invention is not limited in application to de-arming and disrupting devices.
  • a conventional de-arming device (also referred to as a disrupting device or a de-armer disrupter) operates by firing a solid, liquid or gel projectile at an explosive device so as to disrupt the fuse assembly of the latter, ideally without detonating the explosive device.
  • a de-arming device comprises a barrel, the breech of which contains a conventional gun cartridge which, when detonated, propels the projectile, also initially contained in the barrel, towards the target.
  • the present applicant's European Patent No. EP0549659B discloses a de-arming device in which recoil is counteracted by means of water initially contained in an annular chamber around the breech of the barrel.
  • the gun cartridge used to fire the projectile also propels the water rearwardly from the device.
  • the inertia of the water enables the gun cartridge to generate sufficiently high gas pressures to fire the projectile at a sufficiently high velocity without the need to lengthen the device's barrel.
  • the water and the additional components needed for the firing device to contain the water increase the weight of the device, and the need to fill the chamber with water prior to firing the device (and to close the chamber once full) also increases the time needed to prime the device for firing.
  • a cartridge for a device for firing a projectile comprising a housing having first and second chambers, respectively containing first and second charges of propellant material, and each having a respective outlet, wherein, in use, the outlet of the first chamber allows the expulsion from the cartridge of gas produced by the detonation of the first propellant charge, so as to fire the projectile, whilst the outlet of the second chamber allows the expulsion from the cartridge of gas produced by the detonation of the second propellant charge, which gas exits the device rearwardly so as to counteract recoil.
  • a device which fires a projectile using that cartridge can have a single breech, and can therefore be more compact and lightweight than a device which uses two separate cartridges.
  • the device is also more compact and lightweight than types of anti-recoil de-armer that do require a jacket of water. Since the propellant charge for firing the projectile is in a separate chamber from that for counteracting recoil, the force with which the projectile is fired is not affected by the. gases by which are ejected so as to counteract recoil.
  • the amount of the first propellant charge can be varied independently of the second propellant charge during the stages of design and development of the cartridge. This facilitates the creation of a cartridge which provides a desired force of firing and adequate anti-recoil characteristics. Indeed, it has been found that a cartridge in accordance with the invention can completely neutralise recoil.
  • the chambers of the cartridge are situated one in front of the other in the housing, the first chamber being in the front portion of the cartridge, the second in the rear.
  • each chamber is situated adjacent to the part of the device (the barrel containing the projectile or a rearward facing outlet port (as the case may be) to which gases from the chamber need to be expelled.
  • the outlet of the first chamber made to advantage comprise a port in the front of the cartridge, the outlet of the second chamber comprising a port in the rear of the cartridge.
  • the ports are substantially circular, and are coaxial.
  • the chambers are elongate and are also coaxial with the ports and hence with each other. This facilitates the balancing of the device so that the force generated by the rearwardly ejected gases is coaxial with the recoil force caused by the firing of the projectile.
  • the second charge of propellant is more powerful than the first charge.
  • reaction forces on the device caused by the exiting projectile are higher than the reaction caused by ejecting gas alone. This is accommodated in the cartridge by increasing the amount and/or velocity of the gases ejected through the outlet of the second chamber compared with those ejected by the detonation of the first charge.
  • the second chamber may therefore to advantage be of a larger volume than the first chamber.
  • the second chamber has a larger cross-sectional area than the first chamber.
  • the second chamber preferably has a larger diameter than the first chamber.
  • the increased volume of the second chamber does not require an increased length of cartridge.
  • the propellant material is explosive.
  • the two chambers have a common igniter assembly.
  • the igniter assembly may comprise an ignition chamber having ignition ports to each of the first and second chambers and containing an initiator charge of explosive material, hot gases produced by the detonation of which pass through the ignition ports to ignite the first and second charges of propellant material.
  • the ignition chamber is preferably interposed between said first and second chambers.
  • the cartridge housing comprises a one piece casing which is hollow to define the first and second chambers, and includes a wall or bulkhead separating those two chambers.
  • the bulkhead isolates the two propellant charges from each so that the firing force exerted on the projectile by the detonation of the first charge is not affected by the venting of the gases produced by the detonation of the second charge.
  • the bulkhead may to advantage also contain the igniter assembly.
  • the second chamber has a portion of reduced cross section adjacent to the outlet of that chamber.
  • a device for firing a projectile comprising a barrel for housing the projectile and a cartridge in accordance with the first aspect of the invention, wherein the barrel has a rear outlet through which said gas from the detonation of the second propulsive charge of such a cartridge is expelled so as to counteract recoil.
  • the barrel has a breech module, the rear portion of which is of a larger cross sectional or area than the front portion.
  • the rear portion of the breech can accommodate the part of the cartridge which in turn contains the second, larger propellant charge.
  • the rear outlet is connected to a constriction, preferably a venturi, for accelerating the flow of gas from the rear of the device.
  • the invention also lies in a device in accordance with the second aspect of the invention when loaded with a cartridge in accordance with the first aspect of the invention.
  • Figure 1 is a sectional side view of a first embodiment cartridge in accordance with the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a corresponding view of a device, also in accordance with the invention, for firing a projectile, the device being shown when loaded with the cartridge shown in Figure 1;
  • Figures 3 and 4 are isometric views, respectfully from the front and rear, showing the exterior of the device

  • Figure 7 is an isometric view of the cartridge of Figure 5.
  • the cartridge shown in Figure 1 comprises a one piece cylindrical housing 1 machined from solid stainless steel, and having a front portion 2 and a rear portion 4 of a larger diameter than the portion 2.
  • the portions 2 and 4 meet at an annular step 6.
  • the casing includes internal bulkhead 8 which extends across the entire width of the casing to separate the interior of the latter into a first chamber 10 in the front of the cartridge and a second, larger diameter chamber 12 in the rear portion 4.
  • ignition chamber 14 is provided in the centre of the bulkhead 8, in order to house an igniter assembly.
  • the igniter assembly includes an electrical fusehead shown diagrammatically at 16, comprising an electrical bridge wire connected to a positive electrical contact 18 and to the casing of the cartridge (which is in turn connected to an earth contact as described below) and coated with a suitable explosive.
  • the fusehead wire is spaced from the walls of the chamber 14, which chamber is also packed with a charge of black powder that acts as an initiator charge.
  • One side of the chamber 14 is defined by the part 20 of the bulkhead 8 that separates the chamber 10 from the chamber 14, which part includes a pair of ignition ports in the form of axial passages, 22 and 24.
  • the other side of the chamber 14 is defined by a cylindrical externally screw threaded plug 26 which is screwed into a correspondingly screw threaded cylindrical recess 28 in the side of the bulkhead that bounds the compartment 12.
  • the plug 26 also has a pair of axial passages 30 and 32 which act as ignition ports. As can be seen from Figure 1, the passages 22, 24, 30 and 32 enable the chamber 14 to communicate with the chambers 10 and 12.
  • the chamber 10 contains a first propellant charge 34, whilst a second propellant charge 36 is contained within the chamber 12.
  • the propellant charge 36 is larger than the charge 34, in this case the charges being respectively constituted by 5 and 8 grams of gun- powder.
  • Each of the charges is held in a substantially cylindrical shape, and the end of each charge opposite the bulkhead is abutted by a respective one of two circular card discs 38 and 40 which separate the charge from a respective one of two felt closure wads 42 and 44.
  • the opposite side of each wad is abutted by a respective one of two tufnell discs 46 and 48 which is held in position by means of a respective one of two roll crimps 50 and 52 on the end of the cartridge.
  • the forward end of the cartridge constitutes a circular opening which is closed by the disc 46 and which acts as an outlet for the chamber 10.
  • the outlet for the chamber 12 is provided by the opening at the rear end of the cartridge, which opening is closed by the disc 48.
  • the wall of the cartridge casing includes an annular thickened portion 54 adjacent to the disc 48. This portion acts as a choke for restricting the flow of gases from the chamber 12 and thus increasing the pressure exerted by those gases.
  • the device for firing a projectile comprises a barrel having a forward portion 56 and a breech module 58 which, in use, accommodates the cartridge. Prior to firing, the projectile (not shown) is accommodated in the forward portion 56.

  • the interior of the breech module is correspondingly stepped so that the portion 60 accommodates the portion 2 of the cartridge, whilst the portion 62 accommodates the rear pOrtion 4 of the cartridge and the shoulder 6 abuts an internal, correspondingly annular shoulder formed at the step in diameters of the breech portion. This abutment of the two shoulders limits the forward movement of the cartridge within the breech module.
  • the rear of the breech module 58 includes an internal screw thread via which a correspondingly screw threaded end portion 64 can be removably attached to the breech module 58.
  • the portion 64 is open ended, annular and includes a venturi port 66 through which gases generated by the detonation of the charge 36 are expelled from the rear of the device.
  • the end piece includes a flat 68 to enable the end piece to be rotationally keyed to a suitable tool for tightening and loosening the end piece.
  • the device is primed for firing by removing the end piece 64 and inserting a cartridge into the breech portion 58 until the shoulder 6 abuts the corresponding shoulder on the interior of the breech portion 58.
  • the end piece 64 is then screwed onto the rear of the breech module 58 and tightened using a tool (as mentioned above).
  • a projectile to be fired from the device is loaded into the device through the front of the barrel 56 until the trailing end of the projectile abuts the front of the breech portion 58.
  • the projectile is a solid, but the projectile could be a liquid or gel (in which case containment of the projectile prior to firing is achieved in the same way as with a conventional projectile of that type).
  • the breech module 58 carries a pair of terminals, one of which, the terminal 70, is in electrical contact with the contact 18.
  • the other terminal, referenced 72, is in contact with the body of the breech module, and hence is in electrical contact with the casing of the cartridge.
  • the contact 70 comprises a conductive pin 74 which extends through an insulating sleeve 16 that lines the interior of a radial passage in the breech module 58 in registry with the contact 18.
  • An electrical firing circuit (not shown) is connected to the device by connecting the positive terminal of the circuit to the terminal 70 and the negative terminal of the circuit to the terminal 72.
  • the circuit In response to a suitable firing command, the circuit passes an electrical current through the fuse head wire 16. This detonates the charge of explosive in the chamber 14, causing hot gases to pass through the passages 22, 24, 30 and 32 into the propellant charges 34 and 36, both of which are thus ignited. Since both charges 34 and 36 are ignited from a common fuse wire, the detonation of the two charges occurs substantially simultaneously. This would not necessarily be the case if two separate fuse wires were used since, in general, the resistances of fuse wires (even of the same type) tend to vary so that two such fuse wires will take different amounts of time to heat up to ignition temperatures even if they are subjected to the same voltage simultaneously.
  • the detonation of the charge 34 shatters the disc 46, ejects the wad 42 and disc 38 and propels the projectile through the front of the barrel 56.
  • the bulkhead 8 provides a reaction surface via which the reaction to the force exerted on the projectile by the explosive charge is transmitted into the device.
  • the detonation of the charge 36 causes the disc 48 to disintegrate, and ejects the wad 44 and disc 48 through the venturi 66. As this happens, the wad 44 will fleetingly block the venturi 66 which causes a further build up of pressure of gases generated by the charge 36.
  • a device such as the one described can be made to a weight of approximately one-third of the current designs (which utilise water jackets to counteract recoil), and can therefore be deployed on the upper arm of a mini ROV.
  • the device is also shorter and significantly smaller in diameter than the aforesaid known device, which also make it easier to deploy on an ROV.
  • positioning of the system on a robotic vehicle is less critical than in the case of known designs which use water jackets and which therefore require a clear field behind the device to avoid damage to cameras, cables, connectors and antennas.
  • the device according to the invention is also simple to manufacture and easy to operate and maintain.

Abstract

Un boîtier (1 ; 100, 104, 102) d’une cartouche pour un dispositif de tir d’un projectile comporte des premier et deuxième compartiments distincts (10, 12 ; 106, 114), contenant chacun une charge respective (34, 36 ; 108, 110, 116, 120) de substance propulsive. Le gaz libéré par la détonation d’une des charges s’échappe du premier compartiment pour propulser le projectile, alors que le gaz libéré par la détonation de la deuxième charge s’échappe par l’arrière du dispositif en formant ainsi un mécanisme anti-recul. Une valve anti-retour peut également être utilisée pour établir une différence de pression importante entre les compartiments, la cartouche comportant alors un ensemble d’allumage commun.
