CARTRIDGE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 225,463, dated March 16, 1880.
Application filed February I0, 1879.
To all whom it may concern:
Beit known that I, MYEoN OoLoNEY, of the city and county of New Haven, in the State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cartridges, of which the following is a specification.
The object of my invention is a cartridge especially adapted for grape-shot in ordnance or cannon service and for small shot for sporting purposes.
In consists in constructing the cartridge iu three partsto wit, two shells and an intermediate iian'ged plug, which lits into and closes the rear end of the front shell, in which the shot is contained, and the front of the rear.
shell, which contains the powder and secures the two together. The front shell is of larger diameter than the rear, and .the central uniting-plug has an external flange flush with the external diameter of the larger front shell or case, and forming a shoulder for seating the cartridge in loading from the front of a breechslide, which is pierced completely through, the smaller diameter of the powder-case or rear shell permitting it to be expelled rearward after the discharge.
My invention further consists -in constructing a cartridge for breech-loading fire-arms with a circumferential groove at its base, to adapt it to be applied laterally between jaws which hold it against the stroke of a hammer or tiring pin, as hereinafter described, and making the front or projectile part of the cartridge of larger diameter than the rear, to admit of loading from the front of the breechslide and expelling the empty shell backward.
In order that my invention may be fully understood, I will proceed to describe it with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure lis a side elevation of a cartridge ready for use. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the same. Fig. 3 is a side elevation ot' the parts detached. Fig. 4: is a longitudinal section, illustrating a modiication.
A represents the rear portion of the cartridge, consisting of a shell for the reception of the powder, circumferentially grooved on its rear end, as shown at a.
^ C is a case to contain small ,shot, or grapeshot, or other projectiles, according to the size of the arm and the purpose for which it is to be used.
B is an intermediate uniting-plug formed at b to iit within the front of the powd er-shell A, and at b to lit within the rear of the shoty or projectile shell C, and -at b2 with a circumferential ange which its against the opposed ends of the respective shells and extends in diameter to the exterior of the front shell, C, so as to be precisely flush therewith. f
The ilange b2 will thus be seen to constitute a shoulder for seating the cartridge in loading from the front within a chamber properly formed to receive it.
The circumferential groove a at the base of the cartridge adapts it to be passed laterally within and between a pair of rigid jaws in rear of the barrel when the cartridge is brought to ring position, which jaws then hold the cartridge iirmly against the longitudinal stroke of a ring-pin or hammer, and after the pro'- jectile is red away, the cylindrical shell A, being without a shoulder, may be readily ejected backward from a chamber, passing completely through the breech-slide.
A construction of breech-loading fire-arms adapted for the use of cartridges constructed and used as above explained I have fully described in another application for Letters Patent, and it will be observed that a part of my present invention is applicable to cartridges made with solid balls either for ordnance or small-arms, the essential features oi this part of the invention being a shoulder, b2, for seating the combined cartridge and ball. in. loading from the front, a cylindrical shell, A, which may be ejected backward after the explosion, 'and a circumferential groove, a, at the base or rear end of said cylindrical shell, adapting `the cartridge to be securely held between yrigid jaws against the longitudinal stroke of a firing-pin or hammer.
It will be seen that this part of my invention may be embodied in the modification illustrated in Fig. 4, where the parts B C b b2 constitute a solid projectile of one piece of metal.
My invention is adapted for shot-guns and for grape and canister shot.
It will thus be seen to be applicable to ordloo' nance artillery, machine-guns, shoulder-guns, and pistols.
In carrying out my invention in the iirstv described mode, its illustrated in Figs. 2 and 3,
it is preferred to make the uniting-plug B of Wood. The case or shell C may be of paste board, sheet metal, cloth, felt, Wood, or other materiel. The powder case or shell A may also be of either of these materials. rlhe eases A and C being respectively lled with powder and with shot or grape-shot, as thecese may be, the plug B is securely glued therein up to its flange b2.
Having thus described my invention, the
followin is what I olztim :is new therein and 1:5 desire to secure by Letters Patent:
l. A cartridge constructed with a. cylindricall shell, A, having e circumferential groove, a, close to. the rear end, and @front portion of larger diztineter forming a, shoulder, b2, as and for the purposes specified.
2. The combination of the rear and front shells or cases, A and G, and the anged unitingplug B, its end forthe purposes set forth.
