Preferably a pliable jointfacing c is secured upon the valve 14, whereby an air-tight joint isatforded between the valve and block when the valve is drawn into cont-act with the conitorm seat of said block, as indicated in Figs. 2, 6, and 7. The stem of the sealing-valve 14 may with advantage be projected somewhat beyond the front end of the coupling-plug 12, and on said forward end of the stem a packing-nut b2 is screwed, so as to hold any suitable packing material between it and the end of the stem.
On the peripheral surface of the valvestem b, near the valve, a screw-thread b is formed, which may be screwed into the thread Within the compression-block 13 by rotation of the valve-stem at its forward end, and thus draw the joint-facing c upon the coniform valve-seat. The stem b of the valve 14 is axially perforated in two diameters when constructed as shown in Figs. 2 and 7, the smaller diameter being at the rear end within the valve-head 14, which provides an offset or level shoulder c' Where the bore of the stem is reduced. A suitable number of grooves c2 are formed in the peripheral snrt'ace of the stem b and extend longitudinally from points near each end of said stem, the function of which will hereinafter be explained. Upon the rear end of the valve 14 a thin cover-plate d is secured by any preferred means, so as to hermetically seal the forward end of the perforation in the stem and the valve-head thereon. In the bore of largest diameter that extends from the shoulder c forwardly through the stem b a plunger-tube 15 is located and is adapted to slide longitudinally, which slidable movement is controlled by the packing-joint in the nut Z22, through which the tube passes and projects somewhat in front of the nut. The rear end of the plunger-tube 15 is internally threaded to receive the threaded end of the piercinghead c, that is pointed at the rear end and is longitudinally grooved in its body, the said head being adapted-totraverse the reduced bore of the stem Z) if it is forcibly driven rearward so as to penetrate the cover-plate d. A pusherrod 16 is fitted to slide in the plunger-tube 15 and seat at the rear end thereof upon the front end of the piercinghead c, the front end of said rod being extended through the packing-nut g at the front of the coniform head 1l and beyond it at a proper degree to serve as a contact-point for the shell, the packing of said nut serving to prevent accidental displacement of the rod. 'Within the body 10 a post 17 is held to project forwardly in alinement with the pusherrod 16 and is so proportioned in length as to space its front end from the valve-head 14 a suitable distance.
I have found by practical experience that liquid or viscid nitroglycerin may be rendered safe from explosion by shocks received in handling and transportation if such material is held solidly compressed in an air-tight chamber or vessel from which air has been -pl linger-tube 15.
expelled, which discovery I have carried into effect by means ofthe present improvements in high-explosive projectiles.
In preparing the empty shell for reception of nitroglycerin the coniform head 11 is removed from the coupling-plug 12 and the latter is Withdrawn from the body 10. Nitroglycerin A, of safe temperature, is now filled into the body l0 to such a height as will afford space above it to'receive the compression-block 13. The coupling-plug 12 is now carefully screwed into the body 10, and air that occupied the space entered by the plug escapes through a crevice that is formed between the valve-head 14 and coniform seat in the block 13, the valve-head having been previously unseated by rotation of the stem b, so as to slightly unscrew the thread b, which will permit the air to pass into the grooves o2 and pass thence from the compression-block 13. After the atmospheric air has been completely expelled from the body 10 by compression, as explained, and which will be indicated by the exuding of the nytroglycerin in the outer portions of the grooves c2, the valve 14 should` be closely seated upon the block. 13 and the plug 12 be given a slight inward movement by turning it, which will forcibly compress the mass of nitroglycerin, and the joint-facing c of the valve 14 will prevent access of air to said explosive material.
In the shell constructed as hereinbefore described, and which is adapted for detonation by impact of .the front end upon an object toward which the shell has been projected by gunpowder in a piece of ordnance, the impact of the pusher-rod 16 upon an object which has been aimed at will cause said rod to forcibly slide rearward, which will push the piercing-head e through the cover-plate d. The perforation of the cover-plate will permit an escape of a small amount of the nitroglycerin through the grooves of the piercing-head einto the annular space between t-he shoulder c and rear end of the The violent impact of the end of the tube 15 upon the nitroglycerin that is caught between said tube end and the shoulder c will produce a primary explosion, which will drive the plunger-tube forward and the valve 14, with its stem b, rearward, which in turn will forcibly impinge upon the front end of the post 17, and by impact upon the nitroglycerin that lies between the valvehead 14 and said post the explosion of the mass of nitroglycerin in the body 10 of the shell is produced. j
One of the objects of my invention is to IIO utilize the essential features of the same in the production of` a high-explosive shell that may be exploded by a time-fuse located either at the forward or rear end of the shell, such adaptations beingv clearly represented in Figs. G and 7 of the drawings, which will now be described.
In Fig. 6 the pusher-rod 16 has been removed and a percussion-cap 1S takes the place of the piercing.- head e, said cap being screwed into the rear end of the hollow stem b of the valve-head 14. The plunger-tube 15L in this case is illed in advance of the cap 1S `with quick-tire gunpowder B, held in place by a longitudinally-perforated plug 7L, that receives one end of a time-fuse 19 of anypreferred kind, which fuse may be coiled in the coniform head 11 forwardly of the plungertube and be extended at the front end through the packing-nut g, which holds the fuse gripped by the compression of the packing therein. lt will be evident that the time-fuse 19 may be shortened to suit the interval of time which is to elapse before explosion of the shell, and as the bared outer end of the fuse will be ignited, as usual, by the flash of gunpowder used to project the shell from a gun it will be seen that at a proper instant the priming-powder B will detonate and in turn explode the cap 18, that will cause an explosion of the nitroglycerin A. In Fig. 7, which exemplifies the means for detonating the improved high-explosive projectile either by impact of its front end on an object or by a time-fuse located at the rear end thereof, it will be seen that the interior construction, which provides for explosion by impact, is identically the same as that shown in Fig. 2, already described.
To convert the shell into one that may be detonated either by the percussion of its front end on an object or by a time-fuse 19, the latter is held in a tube 20, that is screwed into a tapped perforation in the rear end wall of the body 10, said tube having ra filling of priming-powderB, and apercussion-cap 18, mounted upon its free inner end, which locates said cap-in the mass of nitroglycerinA. The gunpowder C, used to project the improved high-explosive shell from a gun, may be held in a separate cartridge or be fixed on the rear end of the body 10 by providing a sheet-metal case 21 to contain the powder charge as is now provided for the indicated purpose and joining said casing upon the body of the projectile, as is indicated in Fig. 8.
Itis obvious that in the provision of a timefuse which is located in the rear end of the body 10 said fuse should be cut of a proper length to burn during a definite interval of time, which is determined by the distance the projectile is to traverse toward an object, and the length of the fuse should be previously graduated for such a purpose when the gunpowder charge that projects the shell is held in a fixed casing 21 upon the body of the projectile.
It should be explained that comparatively slow-burning powder is to be used as a propelling agent for the projectile, that such as is now provided for use in large guns being available, and the gas evolved by the combustion of such powder will start the shell without danger of exploding the nitroglycerin charge of said shell if the air has been entirely removed and the nitroglycerin is held under compression by the means hereinbefore specified.
Having thus fully described my invention, l claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Paten't- 1. A high-explosive shell,comprisinga hollow body,a compression-block movable therein and provided with a vent or air-passage, and a valve for closing said passage.
