Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for fastening a cartridge case to a projectile according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a use of the device according to claim 7 .
- the device can be used for different floors, especially for Sub-caliber bullets with a sabot, the at least one circumferential groove on Sabot is provided and the cartridge case by notching on the circumferential groove the sabot of the floor can be connected.
- sabot In the case of sub-caliber bullets, also known as sabot projectiles, the actual projectile body is encased by a so-called sabot, which is thrown off shortly after the shot.
- a sabot known for example with EP-A1-0 624 774 for a wing-stabilized lower-caliber floor is composed of a sabot mirror body and a sabot jacket.
- a circumferential groove is provided on the sabot body, wherein the cartridge case can be connected at this point by notching to the sabot carrying the projectile.
- Such a connection must be tight, so that the required high explosion pressure can build up during ignition and the powder in the cartridge case is protected against the ingress of liquids.
- the CH-489 288 and US-4,291,609 tries not to deform the cartridge sleeve material in a conventional manner by means of rigid deformation elements, but use as deformation elements elastic bodies or rings to, which surround the projectile in the region of the circumferential groove, and to provide means for radially inwardly deforming these elastic bodies or rings so that they exert pressure on the sleeve material, as a result of which the latter is pressed into the circumferential groove.
- an elastic body in the form of a cylinder jacket is used as the deformation element, which has a relatively small wall thickness and a relatively large height.
- a tire-shaped bubble which can be filled with a hydraulic fluid that can be pressurized and thereby deforms the hollow cylinder, serves as a means for deforming the cylinder jacket.
- CH-489 288 describes a device in which the elastic deformation body has approximately the shape of a ring with an almost square radial section.
- This ring is located in a chamber which is delimited by a cylindrical extension of a pressure piece and a die with a bore, and through which this extension projects, the pressure piece and the die being displaceable in the axial direction relative to one another.
- One end face of the elastic ring faces the end face of the attachment of the pressure piece.
- the invention is therefore based on the object in the preamble of claim 1, starting from a prior art according to CH-489 288 to propose a device of the type mentioned, by means of which, while avoiding the disadvantages mentioned above, a perfect tight connection between existing steel sheet Cartridge cases and bullets can be produced. Furthermore, it is an object of the invention to propose a use of the new device in the manufacture of sub-caliber bullets.
- a pressure piece for receiving the projectile, which has a cylindrical extension which projects into a bore in a die.
- an elastic ring is arranged, one end face of the cylindrical extension of the Thrust piece is facing, and its other end face via a sealing washer on two slider guided perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cartridge rests in the die.
- the die In the notching, the die is pushed against the pressure piece with the slides, whereby the elastic ring is compressed over the sealing washer and in the radial direction is deformed inwards so that the sleeve mouth is pressed into the circumferential groove.
- the elastic ring is made of Vulkolan type Adiprene.
- the sealing washer is made of hardened spring steel of 0.3 mm, for example Thickness, the edge of the inner diameter facing the elastic ring Sealing disc is rounded.
- 1 denotes a receptacle, in which a pressure piece 2 is arranged, which is held in the receptacle 1 by a locking ring 3.
- the pressure piece 2 has a cylindrical projection 4 , which likewise extends into a bore 5 Arranged in the receiving sleeve 1 die 6 protrudes.
- the pressure piece 2 receives the bullet of a cartridge 7 during the cartridge described in more detail below, the bullet tip 8 being guided in a centering 9 and a conical part of the cartridge case 10 being received in the die 6 .
- an elastic ring 14 is arranged, which consists, for example, of Vulkolan of the Adipren type.
- the outer diameter of the elastic ring 14 corresponds to the diameter of the bore 5 , while its inner diameter is larger than the diameter of the sleeve mouth 11 or the projectile.
- One end face of the elastic ring 14 faces the end face of the cylindrical extension 4 , while the other end face rests against two slides 16 via a sealing washer 15 .
- the slides 16 are guided perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 17 of the cartridge 7 in the die 6 and can be moved by means of double-acting cylinders 18 fastened to brackets 18.1 , for example pneumatically operated.
- the sealing washer 15 is preferably made of hardened spring steel 0.3 mm thick. The outer diameter of the sealing disk 15 corresponds to the diameter of the bore 5 , while its inner diameter is a little more than the diameter of the sleeve mouth 11 or the projectile.
- a compression spring 20 is arranged in the receiving bushing 1 , which rests on the one hand on a shoulder 21 of the pressure piece 2 and on the other hand on a shoulder 22 of the die 6 .
- the cartridge 7 is held at its rear end on a base 23 movable in the longitudinal axis 17 of the cartridge 7 by a resilient insert 24 and a holder 25 .
- the device described above works as follows: By means of a push-in cylinder, not shown, for example, which can be operated hydraulically, the base 23 with the cartridge 7 is raised and the projectile is pushed through the die 6 into the pressure piece 2 . The slides 16 are then pushed inwards by the two cylinders 18 until they abut the cartridge case 10 . Here, the gap given by the play between the sealing disk 15 and the cartridge case 10 is bridged by the slides 16 ( FIGS. 2 and 3 ).
- the receiving bushing 1 and with it the die 6 with the slides 16 are raised by means of a notch cylinder, which is also, for example, hydraulically actuated, not further shown, against the fixed pressure piece 2 and the compression spring 20 and the elastic ring 14 is pressed together via the sealing disk 15 .
- the elastic ring 14 is deformed radially inwards and the sleeve mouth 11 is pressed into the circumferential groove 13 of the sabot 12 ( FIG. 3 ).
- the sealing disk 15 protects the elastic ring 14 from the movement of the slider 16 , the wear of the elastic ring 14 during the small movement towards the slider 16 being very low because of the rounded edge 19 of the sealing disk 15 .
- the notch cylinder and then the two cylinders 18 are moved back again, so that the receiving bushing 1 , the die 6 and the two slides 16 assume the starting position again.
- the push-in cylinder then moves back so that the notched cartridge 7 can be removed from the base 23 and a new one can be put on.
