5 INVENT OR 57 Ham-[2T5 WHITE BY m I 2,911,911 Patented Nov. 10, 1959 United States Patent ANTIFRICTION GASCHECK WADS Hobart S. White, Bethesda, Md. Application October 6, 1955, Serial No. 539,035
6Claims. (Cl. 102-38) (Granted under Title 35, US. Code (1952), see. 266) The invention described herein may be manufactured and used by or for the Government of the United States for governmental purposes without the payment to me of any royalty thereon, in accordance with the provisions of 35 United States Code (1952) section 266.
This invention relates to polytetrafiuoroethylene wads suitable in shape and size for positioning at the base of a projectile before or during the operation of seating the projectile in its case.
One object of this invention is to provide a gascheck which will insulate the base of the projectile from the hot gases of combustion.
Another object of this invention is to provide a seal which will prevent leakage of the combustion gases during the firing of a projectile.
Still another object of this invention is to provide means for depositing particles of a heat resistant lubricant such as polytetrafluoroethylene in the 'bore of a gun barrel when a projectile is fired, to provide low friction and also to prevent fouling of the gun bore.
The above objects result largely from the behavior characteristics exhibited by polytetrafiuoroethylene-when used as a gascheck wad, namely; excellent heat insulation and gas sealing ability without breakdown at high pressure and temperature ranges, and low coefiicient of friction.
In particular, in accordance with the principles of this invention it is possible to fire lead bullets, and lead bullets having conventional copper gaschecks, without the necessity of providing a lubricant on the bullets and without the danger of lead-fouling accumulating in the bore of the firearm. With existing ammunition it is necessary to provide grease or other forms of lubricant on lead bullets to prevent lead-fouling of the bore, as is well known. It will be apparent that the principles of this invention are not limited to lead bullets, but may be applied to projectiles of all types in general.
Other uses and advantages of the invention will become apparent upon reference to the specification and drawings in which Fig. 1 shows a conventional jacketed projectile-type bullet employing the novel gascheck wad of the instant invention;
Fig. 2 shows a modified form of the gascheck wad of Fig. 1 as used with a conventional boattail-type projectile, and
Figs. 3, 4, and 5 show various modifications of the gascheck wad of the instant invention as applied to solid projectiles.
The invention in this case is based on the inherent characteristics of substances such as polytetrafiuoroethylene. Such substance, for example, commercially pure Teflon manufactured by E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, exhibits characteristics of excellent heat insulation (poor heat conductivity), gas sealing characteristics at extremely high temperatures and pressures such as are encountered in the bore of a gun or rifle, and a low coefficient of friction.
The present invention contemplates providing such substance in the form of a gascheck wad of substantially the same diameter of the projectile in sealing engagement with the base of the projectile so that it will traverse the length of the gun-bore when the projectile is fired.
It has been found that a gascheck of such size and form may readily and inexpensively be associated with the base portion of a projectile so that when seated within its cartridge case, a unitary assembly including the gascheck is produced.
The diameter of the polytetrafiuoroethylene wads is made approximately the same as the diameter of the base of the projectiles in the modification where the wads are attached to the base of the projectile, or the diameter may be made slightly larger when a friction fit in the neck of the cartridge case is used to position the wads.
The length of these polytetrafluoroethylene wads is made sufiicient to prevent total decomposition of the wads within the bore of the barrel as the projectile traverses the bore. In general, the length of the polytetrafluoroethylene wads should not be less than one fourth the diameter of the projectile, but need not be greater than the diameter of the projectile.
The polytetrafluoroethylene employed for the gaschecks is of ordinary commercial purity as supplied by the E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company under the trade name of Teflon. Small amounts of impurities or adulterants are tolerated, but relatively large amounts of adulterants, which might detract from the previously cited desired properties of polytetrafluoroethylene, cannot be tolerated within the scope of this invention.
Since the polytetrafluoroethylene employed for the gascheck exists as a wax-like solid it may be readily shaped and formed and secured to the projectile in a simple and efiicacious manner as disclosed in the drawings.
The gascheck is shown in the various embodiments suitable for application to a projectile in Figs. l-5. Generally, as indicated it is made in substantially cylindrical or disc-like form by any convenient method such as by molding, extruding or machining.
In its simplest form, the gascheck may be in the form of a simple cylinder 1 as shown in the modification of Fig. l. The gascheck wad 1 is formed to the proper diameter and thickness in accordance with the previously described criteria and is then inserted in the neck of the cartridge case 3 between the propellant 4 and the base of the projectile 2. In assembling the cartridge, the gascheck is frictionally held in place and is secured by the subsequent seating of the projectile 2 in the case 3 in a conventional manner.
The modification shown in Fig. l is particularly adapted for use with jacketed projectiles of the type shown in Fig. 1 where it would be difiicult or undesirable to interfere with the structure of the projectile. The gascheck wad shown in Fig. 2 is convenient for the type of projectile having the boattail shape generally indicated in Fig. 2. Fig. 2 shows a jacketed projectile having a lead body portion 5 and an enclosing jacket 6 of copper alloy or steel as is conventional. The standard taper 2a provided on the tailend of such type of projectile provides a convenient means for securing the gascheck to the projectile. Accordingly, the gascheck 1 in such modification is formed with an annular rim 1a as shown conforming to the taper of the tailend 2a of the projectile 2. The gascheckis secured to the base of the projectile with an appropriate cement (not shown) and the projectile is then inserted in the cartridge case as in Fig. '1.
Figs. 3, 4, and 5 show modifications of the gascheck which may conveniently be employed with solid or lead projectiles. The lack of a jacketing material in such projectiles permitsthe base'to' be conveniently shaped p j tile 2 s houldere o pro d a pro ectin dovetail 2b. The gascheck 1 in this modification is oppositely shaped to provide a recess or well 111 adapted to register with projection 212. Accordingly, a @Qflvehient means for securing the gascheck to the base of the projectile is provided by the dovetail engagement between the recess 1b and abutment 2b.
The gascheck 1 shown in the modification of,,Fig. 4 has the same elementary form as the modification of Fig. 1. In this case a small pin 7 or other fastener is employed to stake the gascheck 1 to the base of the projectile 2. Such securing means is Pecially suitable for use with lead core projectiles since the pin 7 need only be driven through the wad 1 and intothe..pro-.
V jectile 2.
In the modification shown in Fig. 5 the gascheck 1 has a concentric hole 1c such that his attached by friction fit to a mating appendage or concentric projection 2c at the base of the projectile 2. o
It will be apparent that the embodiments shown are only exemplary and that various modifications can be made within the scope of invention as defined in the appended claims.

1. In combination with an ammunition cartridge of the type employing a projectile and propellant-containing cartridge case, a gascheck wad comprising a disc of sub.
