Definitions

  • cartridges having casings provided with helical in rior ribs which impart a rotary movement to the charge in order to improve the grouping of the pellets and thus avoid hollow spots, but these cartridge cases stick to the walls of the firing chamber so well that after firing they can be extracted only with difiiculty, thus practically prohibiting their use.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to remedy all these inconveniences, While materially increasing the cha ces of hitting the target by means of a better utilization and distribution of the charge, which automatically approaches the target in several successive planes instead of in a single plane, by utilizing successive bursts dividing the total projectile charge.
  • the pellets of the charge which has been divided in this manner are to tated to insure the pro er dispersion and the entire divided charge ispondered during a time which corresponds to the travel of the game animal, over a transverse distance three or four times larger than the distance corresponding to the spread of a conventional cartridge of the types heretofore known. in other words, the same charge, other conditions being equal, becomes three or four times more deadly.
  • the invention thus permits the use of Weapons of a smaller caliber, which are consequently relatively light, while improving the chances that an average hunter will sin home game.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a shotgun cartridge or the like characterized by the fact that it comprises a charge of shot divided into a succession of individual charges which are separate or automatically separable under the influence of inertia after firing, the heaviest individual charge being closest to the open end of the cartridge and the weight of the other individual charges progressively decreasing toward its head.
  • the cartridge constituting the invention may moreover otter the following features, singly or in combination:
  • Each individual charge of shot is enclosed in an individual container, the containers of the var ous individual charges being superposed in the cartridge above the wadding.
  • the container for the individual charge of shot comprises exterior helical ribs and interior radial ribs, the first serving to rotate the container before the departure of the shot and the second imparting rotation to the pellets or shot composing the charge.
  • the individual charges are made of shot of the same size but the diameter of shot in successive individual charges decreases from charge to charge as the wadding is approached.
  • the projectile charge consists of a ball provided with a plurality of weakened transverse sections which serve as cleavage planes and with external helical ribs which are formed to exert different torques on diiterent sections which facilitate the division of the charge along those planes as it leaves the muzzle.
  • the projectile charge is enclosed in a single accordion pleated container, the pleats being circular and transverse, and provided with scorings which delimit the individual projectile charges, this single container being also provided with exterior helical ribs and in some cases with interior radial vanes as well as weakening scorings about its cylindrical periphery.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a charged cartridge ready for use and characterized by the fact that its casing consists of a substantially cylindrical plastic container of the type hereinbefore described, provided with circular inwardly projecting folds which limit the individual charges of shot to weights successively increasing from the wadding to the end of the cartridge, this container being assembled to the head so as to be expelled at the same time as the wadding in the barrel of the weapon firing the cartridge.
  • the.body of the cartridge head is also made of a plastic material reinforced at its butt end by a metallic jacket which holds the detonator, and the casing containing theprojectile charge is closed at its free end by a thin Wall attached thereto in any suitable way, for example by crimping, adhesive connection, or high frequency welding,.the casing being attached in a like manner to the cartridge head containing the detonator.
  • the charged cartridge according to the invention has theadvantage of being usable in a weapon of corresponding caliber, regardless of the length of the chamber provided for the cartridge in that weapon.
  • the container which constitutes the casing is impervious but is thinner along lines designed to facilitate its rupture for the production of bursts.
  • FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line II of FIG. 2 showing a single individual charge in position in its container and adapted for incorporation into a cartridge according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a section taken along the line II--II of FIG. 1 of the same individual projectile charge;
  • FIG. 3 is an axial cross-section of a cartridge according to the invention comprising individual projectile charges of the type shown in FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 4 is a perspective view of one of the containers holding a single individual charge of the type used in the cartridge of FIG. 3;
  • FIG. 5 is an axial cross-section of a cartridge according to the invention but slightly different from that shown in FIG. 3;
  • FIG. 6 is an axial cross-section of a cartridge containing segmental balls according to the invention.
  • FIG. 7 is an axial cross-section taken along the line VII-VII of FIG. 8, .showing a single cylindrical container for holding the partial projectile charges of a cartridge according to the invention
  • FIG. 8 is an exterior view of the cylindrical container of FIG. 7;
  • FIG. 9 is an axial cross-section of a cartridge comprisprising a single cylindrical casing of the type shown on FIGS. 7 and 8 for the partial projectile charges;
  • FIG. 10 is an axial cross-section through the cartridge ofFIG. 9, in the barrel of a shotgun, just after percussion;
  • FIG. 11 is an axial cross-section through the cartridge of FIG. 10 just after it has left .the muzzle of the shotgun;
  • FIG. 12 is a longitudinal view, partly in cross-section, of'a charged cartridge embodying the invention.
  • the container 1 (FIGS. 1, 2 and 4), which holds an individualcharge of shot 2, all of the same size, has the general shape of a cylindrical box with a rounder (or alternatively flat)'bottorn, open at the end opposite this bottom to permit the introduction of shot 2'. The latter are retainedby a disk 3 held in by the bent-over edges of theropen end of the container 1.
  • This container may be made of any suitable material, preferably one which is flexible and elastic, and especiallyof a suitable plastic material.
  • the container 1 carries internally projecting radial vanes'4 which are integral therewith, and exterior helicalribs '5 which are also integral to its cylindrical wall.
  • the cylindrical wall of the container 1 is provided with orifices 6 which defineweakened lines facilitating rupture or tearing as a consequence of the centrifugal force to which the charge of shot 2 may be subjected, as willbe' hereinafter explained.
  • FIG. 3 shows acartridgeiaccording to the invention which comprises 4 containers 1 for individual projectile charges formed from small shot. These charges 8, 9, 10 and 11 are each made up of the same number of shot, but the size of the shot increases; from charge 8 to charge 11.
  • the cartridge 7 is'clo'sed' by a crimped-in disk '13.
  • the containers 1 are each provided with a small axial orifice 28 in their bottoms.
  • the containers 1 holding their respective projectile charges are .forced out by the gases generated by explosion of the explosive charge of the cartridge.
  • These containers 1 are also subjected to a torque which results from the friction between their ribs 5 and the internal walls of the barrel so that these containers develop a gyratory movement.
  • this gyratory movement causes the successive detachment of the containers 1 as a come quence of the centrifugal force acting on the charge of shot in each container. It is this successive liberation of the individual charges of shot which results in the firing in bursts which it is the object of the invention to attain.
  • the cartridge 12 shown on FIG. 5 is analogous to that of FIG. 3, but the individual charges of shot are contained in three superposed unsealed cups 13, which contain charges of shot 14, 15 and 16 of successively increasing size and weight.
  • the end of the cartridge 12 is closed by means of a crimped-in disk 17.
  • the cups 13 each carry a winged axial bar 19 which is integral with the cups and helical ribs 20 on their cylindrical peripheries.
  • the bottoms of the cups 13 are provided with small orifices 39 which constitute weak spots facilitating rupture.
  • the cartridge 12 works in essentially the same way as the cartridge 7.
  • the cartridge 21 shown on FIG. 6 is a cartridge containing a three-part ball, comprising an end part 22 which is the heaviest, a middle part 23 which is lighter, and an inner part 24 which is the lightest. These three parts are separated by necks 25 and 26 which are scored to facilitate cleavage.
  • Each of parts 22 and 23 is provided with helical ribs 41 and 27 respectively, the function of which is also to impart a gyratory motion to the ball in order to cause two successive breakings of the ball into sections at a certain distance from the muzzle of a firearm firing the cartridge 21.
  • the body of the container 29 is provided with circular folds or necks 39 with cleavage lines 31.
  • This body is provided with external helical ribs 32 and internal radial vanes 33.
  • a Wadding plug 34 is fixed in any suitable manner to the container 29, by simple adhesion, for example.
  • the circular folds are spaced by distances which define sections having the heights a, b, c and d which decrease from the open end of this container 29 toward the wadding plug 34.
  • FIG. 9 shows the container 29 in place in a cartridge 35 with its charge of shot 36, the powder charge being designated by reference numeral 37.
  • the necks 30 are coated with a special grease having, for example, a silicone base.
  • Reference numeral 42 indicates a closure disk for the end of the cartridge.
  • FIG. 10 shows the state of the cartridge 35 immediately after firing.
  • the force exerted against the container 29 by the explosive gases has axially compressed it, so as to close the folds 31
  • the grease contained in these folds is then forced out to the periphery, thus facilitating the sliding of the container 29 and its charge out of the cartridge case and through the barrel C of the weapon.
  • the friction to which the helicalribs 32. is subjected drives the sections a, b, c and d of the container 29 in.
  • the container 29 has the advantage of automatically permitting the use of conventional charging machines and shot of the same size, which is not so in the case of the cartridges 7 and 12 hereinbefore described (FIGS. 3 and
  • the charged cartridge 43 shown on FIG. 12 comprises a breech closure 44 made of a plastic material, reinforced by means of an annular metallic jacket 45, crimped at its outer periphery over an external circular rib on the breech closure 4d, and around its inner edge over a washer 46, which may be made of cardboard for example, and rests on the bottom of the breech closure 44.
  • the jacket 45' provides a seal for the percussion cap 59.
  • Reference numeral 47 designates the charge of powder and 48 the wadding which rests on an inner shoulder 49 of the cartridge head.
  • the casing used in conventional cartridges is in this instance replaced by a plastic container 50, similar to the container 2? described in connection with FIGS. 7-9.
  • the container 50 which is generally cylindrical in shape, comprises only three sections 51, 52 and 53, defined by necks 54, 55 and 56, the height of which increases with their distance from the wadding 48.
  • the container 50 comprises a thin curved bottom 57 which may be integral with it or attached to it in any conventional manner.
  • This container is provided with a charge of shot 58 before being crimped onto the head 4-4 by the rim 6d encircling the orifice in the head, and sealed in any suitable known manner.
  • the container 50 is ikewise moisture-proof and imperforate, which eliminates any possibility that moisture will reach the interior of the charged cartridge 43.
  • the sections 51, 52, 53 have helical ribs 61, 6?. and 63, alternately inclined in opposite directions. Sections 51, 52 and 53 also have lines of reduced thickness 64, 65 and 66 inclined in the same direction as the ribs and positioned therebetween.
  • the bottoms of the necks 54, 55 and 56 are likewise provided with circu lar lines of reduced thickness which facilitate the separation of sections 51, 52 and 53 when the cartridge is fired, just as the lines 64, 65 and 66 facilitate opening of the sections after they have left the barrel of the weapon and at a certain distance from its mouth.
  • the invention may also take the form of a charged cartridge of the type shown in FiG. 12, in which the sections have no external helical ribs, for the special case in which this cartridge is designed to be fired from a weapon provided with a rifled barrel.
  • a cartridge comprising an outer casing having a breech closure, a sole explosive charge located within the breech end of said casing, a projectile charge divided into a plurality of distinct individual charges positioned end to end in axial alignment with said breech closure and explosive charge, container means in said casing within which said projectile charge is enclosed, said container being separable as a unit from said casing so as to be projected whole therefrom upon explosion of said explosive charge, and means for imparting a different rotational force to each individual projectile charge while said container means is in flight so as to cause a separation of said individual projectile charges from each other at a suitable distance from the mouth of the weapon from which said cartridge is fired.
