Description

L'invention concerne des perfectionnements aux projectiles, notamment des grenades destinées à être lancée au moyen d'une arme, par exemple un fusil, utilisant des cartouches à balle conventionnelles.The invention relates to improvements to projectiles, in particular grenades intended to be launched by means of a weapon, for example a rifle, using conventional bullet cartridges.

Des projectiles connus de ce type sont généralement pourvus d'une tête contenant une charge explosive, cette tête étant prolongée par une queue tubulaire pouvant être enfilée sur le canon d'un fusil.Known projectiles of this type are generally provided with a head containing an explosive charge, this head being extended by a tubular tail which can be threaded onto the barrel of a rifle.

Ce mode de lancement de projectiles exige dans une première application, l'utilisation de cartouches propulsives spéciales sans balle, ce qui entraîne des difficultés au niveau de l'intendance, un manque d'efficacité opérationnelle lors du passage du tir normal au fusil au lancement d'un projectile et un danger sérieux pour l'utilisateur en cas de méprise dans le choix de la munition ou l'état de l'arme lors du lancement d'un projectile.This method of projectile launching requires in a first application, the use of special propellant cartridges without bullet, which causes difficulties in terms of stewardship, a lack of operational efficiency during the transition from normal shooting to the rifle at launch. of a projectile and a serious danger for the user in the event of a mistake in the choice of ammunition or the state of the weapon when launching a projectile.

Dans une autre application, le lancement de projectiles peut être obtenu à l'aide d'une cartouche à balle normale, toutefois une telle application exige un piège à balle disposé dans la queue tubulaire.In another application, the launching of projectiles can be obtained using a normal bullet cartridge, however such an application requires a bullet trap placed in the tubular tail.

Ces pièges à balles sont généralement de construction délicate et onéreuse car ils doivent, avec un maximum de sécurité, capter et maintenir la balle au départ du coup sans déformation néfaste, voire rupture, de ladite queue tubulaire. Afin d'absorber l'énergie cinétique de la balle ainsi que la chaleur résultant de son captage, sans déformation de la queue du projectile, ces pièges à balle sont constitués par une succession d'écrans destinés à freiner et à immobiliser la balle ou par des masses métalliques assez considérables. Ces pièges à balle présentent entre autres le désavantage d'un poids et d'un encombrement non négligeable.These bullet traps are generally of delicate and expensive construction because they must, with maximum security, catch and maintain the ball at the start of the stroke without harmful deformation, or even rupture, of said tubular tail. In order to absorb the kinetic energy of the bullet as well as the heat resulting from its capture, without deformation of the tail of the projectile, these bullet traps are constituted by a succession of screens intended to brake and immobilize the bullet or by fairly considerable metallic masses. These bullet traps have, among other things, the disadvantage of a significant weight and size.

Dans une autre application encore le lancement de projectiles peut également être obtenu au moyen d'une cartouche à balle normale, les projectiles présentant à cet effet, d'un bout à l'autre, un passage axial permettant à la balle de traverser le projectile ou grenade et de s'échapper à l'extérieur.In yet another application, the launching of projectiles can also be obtained by means of a normal bullet cartridge, the projectiles having for this purpose, from one end to the other, an axial passage allowing the bullet to pass through the projectile or grenade and escape to the outside.

Des applications de ce type sont décrites dans le brevet français no 1.599.491 ainsi que dans la demande de brevet allemande no 25 54 049.Applications of this type are described in French patent no 1,599,491 as well as in German patent application no 25 54 049.

Cette conception séduisante offre le désavantage d'entraîner une perte d'efficacité due au fait que les gaz propulsifs peuvent également s'échapper dudit alésage, sauf à prévoir - comme dans la demande de brevet allemande no 25.54.049 précitée - un mécanisme obturateur complexe destiné à obturer ledit alésage sitôt après le passage de la balle. Du point de vue économique, un tel dispositif obturateur n est probablement pas moins onéreux qu'un piège à balle. En outre, comme cet obturateur n'entre en fonction que suite à un effet mécanique exercé par la balle lors de son passage, un projectile ou grenade ainsi équipé ne peut être tiré avec des cartouches propulsives sans balle, sauf à admettre un rendement très faible, respectivement une modification profonde des conditions de tir.This attractive design has the disadvantage of causing a loss of efficiency due to the fact that the propellant gases can also escape from said bore, unless a complex shutter mechanism is provided - as in the aforementioned German patent application No. 25.54.049 intended to close off said bore immediately after the passage of the ball. From an economic point of view, such a shutter device is probably no less expensive than a bullet trap. In addition, as this shutter only comes into operation following a mechanical effect exerted by the bullet during its passage, a projectile or grenade thus equipped cannot be fired with propellant cartridges without a bullet, except to admit a very low efficiency. , respectively a profound modification of the shooting conditions.

Afin de pallier ces désavantages et de fournir une solution auxdits problèmes on a déjà proposé un passe-balle pouvant être aisément traversé par ladite balle, en se refermant après le passage de la balle afin d'interdire tout passage aux gaz propulsifs.In order to overcome these disadvantages and provide a solution to said problems, we have already proposed a pass-ball which can easily be crossed by said ball, closing after the passage of the ball in order to prohibit any passage to the propellant gases.

Nonobstant que les gaz propulsifs produit par l'allumage de la cartouche provoquent le lancement dudit projectile ou grenade en exercant une force adéquate sur le passe-balle fermé après le passage de la balle, il s'est avéré plus efficace de prévoir une charge d'appoint pouvant s'ajouter à l'effet des gaz propulsifs susmentionnés afin de résulter dans une force plus considérable sur le passe-balle, plus spécialement une force de lancement plus grande.Notwithstanding that the propellant gases produced by the ignition of the cartridge cause the launching of said projectile or grenade by exerting an adequate force on the closed pass holder after the passage of the bullet, it has proved more effective to provide a charge of 'booster can be added to the effect of the aforementioned propellants in order to result in a greater force on the ball pass, more especially a greater launch force.

L'invention concerne donc un passe-balle, plus spécialement un passe-balle mobile, permettant de réaliser une telle charge d'appoint.The invention therefore relates to a ball pass, more especially a mobile pass ball, making it possible to carry out such a make-up charge.

A cette effet le passe-balle selon l'invention pour projectile comportant une tête prolongée par une queue tubulaire et traversée par un alésage axial débouchant dans ladite queue tubulaire, est monté dans une chambre dans la partie arrière dudit alésage axial, respectivement la partie arrière du manchon prolongeant ledit alésage axial, ce passe-balle est disposé d'une telle manière que, dans la position de stockage du projectile, le passe-balle se trouve dans ladite chambre à une certaine distance du fond de ladite chambre, en enfermant à sa circonférence, une charge d'appoint.For this purpose the bullet pass according to the invention for a projectile comprising a head extended by a tubular tail and traversed by an axial bore opening into said tubular tail, is mounted in a chamber in the rear part of said axial bore, respectively the rear part. of the sleeve extending said axial bore, this ball pass is arranged in such a way that, in the storage position of the projectile, the pass-ball is in said chamber at a certain distance from the bottom of said chamber, enclosing at its circumference, a booster charge.

Afin de mieux faire ressortir les caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention, un exemple de mise en oeuvre de cette dernière est décrit plus en détail ci-après avec références aux dessins illustratifs annexés dans lesquels:

  • la figure 1 représente en coupe longitudinale schématique un projectile, plus spécialement une grenade, appliquant un passe-balle selon l'invention;
  • la figure 2 représente à échelle agrandie la partie indiquée par F2 dans la figure 1;
  • la figure 3 représente une vue semblable à celle de la figure 2, le passe-balle se trouvant dans une deuxième position.
In order to better highlight the characteristics and advantages of the invention, an exemplary implementation of the latter is described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying illustrative drawings in which:
  • FIG. 1 represents in schematic longitudinal section a projectile, more particularly a grenade, applying a bullet pass according to the invention;
  • Figure 2 shows on an enlarged scale the part indicated by F2 in Figure 1;
  • Figure 3 shows a view similar to that of Figure 2, the pass-through being in a second position.

Dans la figure 1 est représenté un projectile comportant une tête 1 et une queue téléscopique 2 avec empennage 3. Dans cette exécution la queue 2 est réalisée en deux parties, notamment une partie 4 solidaire de la tête 1 et une partie 5 pouvant coulisser le long de la partie 4.In Figure 1 is shown a projectile comprising a head 1 and a telescopic tail 2 with empennage 3. In this embodiment the tail 2 is made in two parts, in particular a part 4 integral with the head 1 and a part 5 which can slide along from part 4.

La tête 1 est fixée sur l'extrémité antérieure d'un fourreau 6 autour duquel est prévu un corps 7 constituant la charge explosive du projectile, l'extrémité postérieure dudit fourreau 6 étant pourvue d'un manchon 8 par lequel ladite partie 4 peut être immobilisée à ladite partie 5 en attendant le passage de la balle.The head 1 is fixed on the front end of a sheath 6 around which is provided a body 7 constituting the explosive charge of the projectile, the rear end of said sheath 6 being provided with a sleeve 8 by which said part 4 can be immobilized in said part 5 while waiting for the passage of the ball.

L'extrémité arrière du manchon 8 est obturée par un bouchon passe-balle 11 autour de laquelle est disposée une charge d'appoint 12.The rear end of the sleeve 8 is closed by a ball-passing plug 11 around which an auxiliary load 12 is placed.

Lors de son montage, le bouchon passe-balle 11 est comprimé dans la chambre 13 de sorte que, d'une part, il est maintenu en place sans autres moyens que la pression qu'il exerce sur la paroi de la chambre 13 et que, d'autre part, il assure une étanchéité parfaite, le passe-balle ne pouvant être déplacé dans la chambre 13 que par une force très considérable, par exemple la force exercée sur le passe-balle par une balle de lancement.When it is assembled, the bullet stopper 11 is compressed in the chamber 13 so that, on the one hand, it is held in place without other means than the pressure which it exerts on the wall of the chamber 13 and that , on the other hand, it provides a perfect seal, the ball pass can not be moved in the chamber 13 by a very considerable force, for example the force exerted on the pass ball by a launching ball.

Selon l'invention le passe-balle 11 est logé dans la chambre 13 à une distance D du fond 14, l'épaisseur E dudit passe-balle 11 étant supérieure à la longueur L de ladite charge d'appoint 12, d'une telle manière que cette charge d'appoint est totalement enfermée dans la cavité circulaire 15 par le passe-balle 11 lui-même.According to the invention the ball pass 11 is housed in the chamber 13 at a distance D from the bottom 14, the thickness E of said ball pass 11 being greater than the length L of said make-up load 12, of such a way that this make-up charge is completely enclosed in the circular cavity 15 by the bullet holder 11 itself.

Le passe-balle 11 sera avantageusement réalisé en une matière souple, respectivement élastique, naturelle ou synthétique, de préférence avec une dureté comprise entre environ 30 Shore A et environ 70 Shore D.The pass-through 11 will advantageously be made of a flexible material, respectively elastic, natural or synthetic, preferably with a hardness of between approximately 30 Shore A and approximately 70 Shore D.

Il a effectivement été constaté que le passage d'une balle à travers d'un tel passe-balle n'entraîne pratiquement aucune disparition de matière, que ce soit par arrachage ou par fusion, respectivement combustion, ceci à condition de conformer ledit passe-balle de sorte qu'il puisse se dilater suffisamment durant le passage de la balle. En outre, il est souhaitable que cette dilatation n'entraîne aucune déformation appréciable de la paroi délimitant l'alésage dans lequel est disposé le passe-balle.It has actually been observed that the passage of a bale through such a bale pass practically does not cause any disappearance of material, either by tearing off or by fusion, respectively combustion, this on condition of conforming said pass ball so that it can expand sufficiently during the passage of the ball. In addition, it is desirable that this expansion does not cause any appreciable deformation of the wall delimiting the bore in which the ball pass is arranged.

Comme il a été représenté dans la figure 3, le passe-balle mobile selon l'invention sera déplacé vers l'avant, au contact de la balle 16 avec le passe-balle 11 afin de libérer ainsi, même avant la pénétration totale de la balle 16 au travers du passe-balle 11, la charge d'appoint 12 de manière à ce que l'effet de la déflagration de la charge d'appoint 12 vienne s'ajouter à l'effet des gaz de combustion de la cartouche ordinaire employée pour lancer le projectile au moyen de la balle 16.As shown in FIG. 3, the movable ball pass according to the invention will be moved forward, in contact with the ball 16 with the ball pass 11 in order to thus release, even before the total penetration of the bale 16 through the ball pass 11, the make-up charge 12 so that the effect of the deflagration of the make-up charge 12 is added to the effect of the combustion gases of the ordinary cartridge used to launch the projectile by means of the bullet 16.

Afin de pouvoir enfermer la charge d'appoint 12 l'épaisseur E du passe-balle 11 est légèrement plus grande que la largeur L de la cavité 15 enfermant la charge d'appoint 12, tandis que, afin de pouvoir libérer cette charge d'appoint après un déplacement du passe-balle 11 vers l'avant, la distance D entre le passe-balle 11 et le fond 14 de la chambre 13 est plus grande que la moitié de la différence entre l'épaisseur E du passe-balle 11 et la largeur L de la cavité 15.In order to be able to enclose the make-up charge 12 the thickness E of the pass-through 11 is slightly greater than the width L of the cavity 15 enclosing the make-up charge 12, while, in order to be able to release this charge make-up after moving the ball pass 11 forward, the distance D between the ball pass 11 and the bottom 14 of the chamber 13 is greater than half the difference between the thickness E of the ball pass 11 and the width L of the cavity 15.

Il est évident qu'un passe-balle mobile selon l'invention, enfermant une charge d'appoint pendant son stockage et libérant cette charge d'appoint lors du lancement du projectile dont il fait partie, peut être réalisé sous des formes différentes.It is obvious that a mobile bullet-carrier according to the invention, enclosing an auxiliary charge during its storage and releasing this auxiliary charge during the launching of the projectile of which it is a part, can be produced in different forms.
