JOSEPH SCARDONE, or vim-arm, NEW JERSEY.
PROCESS FOR MAKING TORPEDOES.
I To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOSEPH SoARDoNn,-'a citizen of the United States, residing at Vineland, in the county'of Cumberland and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Process for Making Torpedoes,
of which the following is a specification.
The object of my invention is to provide a novel mechanical process for making paper tubes or shells in which the explosive of torpedoes is packed and to provide novel means for packing and sealing such tubes or shells; and particularly to provide a novel process by the application of which the customary outer wrapper is eliminated and a coloration area is applieddirectly to the wrapper which forms a part of the casing for the explosive; and to eliminate the necessity of tying with a string an inner tube containing, the explosive, and then applying an outer decorated wrapper, asv has been the practice in the manufactureof torpedoes of the type used for holiday and amusement purposes.
I attain the-objects of my invention by the means disclosed in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a plan view of the outer portion of the outer wrapper which I have devised and which includes a coloration area;
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the inner reinforcing wrapper;
Fig. 3 is a perspective of the wrappers as arranged when the wrapping process is beung Fig. 4 is a perspective of the wrappers completely wound about the rod on which the torpedo tube or shell is formed; I
Fig. 5 is a perspective of the wrappers with one end folded;
Fig. 6 is a perspective of the wrapped torpedo tube with the tube ready to receive I the explosive charge; and
Fig. 7 :is a perspective of the completely wrapped torpedo, ready to be dipped inthe mucilaginous paste which seals the wrapped tube.
' Referring to the accompanying drawings, I provide a suitable outer wrapper 1, of thin but'stout texture and of an absorbent character so that paste applied to it will be absorbed and the wrapper quickly dry. I
. further provide .a reinforcing inner wrapper 2 of relatively stifl material.
' wrapper 1 is provided witha coloration Specification of Letters Patent.
Outer Patented Aug. 24, 1920.
Application filed January 22, 1920. Serial No. 353,250.
area 3 extending. longitudinally ofthe mid dle portion of the wrapper from one end, as shown in Fig. 1. Any suitable colored or ornamental or trade marked design may be applied on this coloration area.
The process of wrapping the torpedo consists in laying inner wrapper 2 on outer wrapper 1, and then folding the wrappers, as shown in Fig. 3 near their middle portion or at least some distance from either end; and then rolling the wrappers on a suitable round rod 4 until a complete cylinder has been formed, as in Fig. i. The edge portion or strip 5 of wrapper 1 is then folded on the end of the rod 4, as shown in Fig. 5. ,Thereupon the rod is withdrawn and the shell or tube thus formed is set up right, as shown in. Fig. 6, and the charge of explosive deposited in it. Then the opposite edge strip 6 of outer wrapper 1 is suit-- ably folded to-close the torpedo, as shown in Fig. 7. Then the entire tube is dipped in a mucilaginous paste, such as flour paste,
and the tube then placed where it will dry, I
which may be either where exposed, to the sunlight or where exposed to dry steam heat. 'By employing the processabove deapplying .an outer wrapper bearing colora tion areas or completely covered with decorations. I am aware that a somewhat similar methodof folding the ends of a wrapper has'been used in the case of large mailing wrappers, but my torpedo wrapper is for an entirely different purpose and the clipping of the completed article in'paste seals the wrapper and obviates all danger of explomanufacture.
What I claim is:
sion-wh-ile the torpedo'is in the process of 1. Theprocess of forming a paper tube for and packing an explosive charge in same, consisting in placing a heavy reinforcing strip within an outer wrapper, said outer wrapper having a coloration area ex-- tending from one end of the wrapper a sufiicient distance to, completely encircle the wrapper when rolled; folding the wrappers over a rod before rolling; rolling the two wrappers over the rod, the rod extending only across the reinforcin'g strip; folding the free end of the outer rolled wrapper;
paste: and drying the completed shell.
'- '2; lhe process of wrappin a torpedo,
consisting in placing a relative y narrow reinforcing strip on an outer wrapper of thin, absorbent but stout texture, said outer wrapper bearing a coloration area on its outer surface; folding the wrappers near their middle portion; rolling them into a tube of the desired size; folding one end of the outer wrapper to close the end of the tube;
depositing the explosive charge in the tube;
folding the other end of the outer wrapper manufacture.
to completely incase the explosive charge; dipping the completed torpedo shell in a flour paste; and drying the shell.
3. As a new article of manufacture, a cylindrical paper shell for torpedoes, consisting of an absorbent outer wrapper of light and stout texture, a less absorbent inner strip of the length desired for the completed torpedo, the projecting rolled ends of the outer wrapper being folded together to close the torpedo shell, and being dipped in a flour paste to completely seal the entire torpedo, whereby the torpedo may be manufactured at small expense and with a minimum danger of explosion inthe process of JOSEPH SCARDOXE.
