Description

L'invention concerne une cartouche pour fusil et autres armes à feu.The invention relates to a cartridge for a rifle and other firearms.

L'objet de l'invention se rattache au secteur technique des munitions pour armes à feu.The object of the invention relates to the technical sector of ammunition for firearms.

On connaît des cartouches de chasse destinées à tirer des animaux et des cartouches de défense. Généralement, ce type de cartouches comprend essentiellement une douille dans laquelle on dispose successivement à partir de l'amorce, une charge de poudre, une bourre et une charge de projectiles. Pour les cartouches de chasse, les projectiles sont constitués généralement par une pluralité de plombs sphériques de différents calibres, tandis que pour les cartouches de défense les projectiles sont de nature apte à causer des dommages corporels en principe non vitaux.Hunting cartridges intended for shooting animals and defense cartridges are known. Generally, this type of cartridge essentially comprises a cartridge case in which there is successively, from the primer, a charge of powder, a wad and a charge of projectiles. For hunting cartridges, projectiles are generally constituted by a plurality of spherical pellets of different calibers, while for defense cartridges projectiles are of a nature capable of causing bodily harm in principle non-vital.

Les problèmes que se propose de résoudre l'invention, se situent au niveau de l'étanchéité des gaz à l'explosion, de la friction des projectiles dans le canon de l'arme, du passage des projectiles dans le choke ou l'étranglement extrême du canon assurant le regroupement des plombs, et de la puissance et la précision de tir.The problems which the invention proposes to solve are situated at the level of the gas-tightness of the explosion, the friction of the projectiles in the barrel of the weapon, the passage of the projectiles in the choke or the strangulation extreme of the barrel ensuring the regrouping of the pellets, and the power and the precision of shooting.

Pour résoudre de tels problèmes, la cartouche présente au moins une bille faisant office de bourrage montée notamment entre la charge de poudre et la charge de projectiles.To solve such problems, the cartridge has at least one ball acting as a stuffing mounted in particular between the powder charge and the projectile charge.

Un autre problème que se propose de résoudre l'invention est d'assurer un meilleur groupement de la charge de projectiles. Dans ce but, la bille est prolongée, d'un côté, par une jupe fendue recevant la charge de projectiles et, de l'autre côté, par une lèvre d'étanchéité.Another problem which the invention proposes to solve is to ensure better grouping of the charge of projectiles. For this purpose, the ball is extended, on one side, by a split skirt receiving the charge of projectiles and, on the other side, by a sealing lip.

Avantageusement, pour résoudre le problème posé de l'alégement et d'une meilleur souplesse en diminuant l'effet de recul, la bille présente un évidemment.Advantageously, to solve the problem of lightening and better flexibility by reducing the recoil effect, the ball obviously has one.

Dans une autre forme de réalisation, la bille présente dans son épaisseur, une séparation sous forme d'un croisillon.In another embodiment, the ball has in its thickness, a separation in the form of a cross.

Suivant une autre caractéristique, la cartouche présente en fermeture ou en bourrage d'appoint, une rondelle en matière souple déformable , dont la périphérie est formée d'une sphère tronquée, pour délimiter une portée circulaire d'appui plate.According to another characteristic, the cartridge has, when closing or as additional stuffing, a washer made of deformable flexible material, the periphery of which is formed of a truncated sphere, to delimit a circular bearing surface of flat support.

Un autre problème que se propose de résoudre l'invention est d'assurer un contact étanche entre la charge de projectiles et la surface intérieure de la douille.Another problem which the invention proposes to solve is to ensure leaktight contact between the charge of projectiles and the interior surface of the shell.

Différentes solutions sont possibles :
- Avec un projectile constitué par une seule bille métallique de diamètre légèrement inférieur au diamètre intérieur de la douille, ladite bille est enrobée d'une couche de matière plastique.
- Avec une charge de projectiles constituée par une pluralité de plombs sphériques ou de billes métalliques de petit diamètre, chaque bille ou plomb est enrobée d'une couche de matière déformable et directement placée dans la douille.
Different solutions are possible:
- With a projectile consisting of a single metal ball with a diameter slightly smaller than the inside diameter of the sleeve, said ball is coated with a layer of plastic.
- With a charge of projectiles constituted by a plurality of spherical pellets or metallic balls of small diameter, each ball or lead is coated with a layer of deformable material and directly placed in the socket.

Selon une autre caractéristique, pour résoudre les mêmes problèmes aussi bien dans les cartouches de chasse que dans les cartouches de défense, la charge de projectiles est constituée par au moins une bille ou une balle de diamètre légèrement supérieur au diamètre intérieur de la douille ; la ou lesdites billes ou balles étant exécutées entièrement dans une matière déformable et placées directement dans la douille.According to another characteristic, in order to solve the same problems both in hunting cartridges and in defense cartridges, the charge of projectiles consists of at least one ball or bullet with a diameter slightly greater than the inside diameter of the cartridge case; said ball or balls being made entirely of a deformable material and placed directly in the sleeve.

Selon d'autres caractéristiques correspondant à la résolution des problèmes ci-avant, les cartouches présentent les éléments suivants à la suite de la charge de poudre :
- soit une seule bille en matière plastique souple disposée en fermeture suivie d'une charge de plombs et d'un bourrrage quelconque ;
- soit une balle en matière plastique avec empennage disposée en fermeture et suivie d'un diabolo de bourrage en matière déformable ;
- soit une bille en matière plastique souple disposée en fermeture, suivie d'une charge de plombs et d'une autre bille en matière souple faisant office de bourrage ;
- soit une bille en matière plastique souple disposée en fermeture, suivie d'une charge de plombs et d'un diabolo en matière souple faisant office de bourrage ;
- soit plusieurs billes en matière plastique souple accolées à la suite de la charge de poudre.
According to other characteristics corresponding to the resolution of the above problems, the cartridges have the following after the powder charge:
- either a single ball of flexible plastic material arranged in closure followed by a load of pellets and any stuffing;
- either a plastic ball with a tail arranged in closure and followed by a stuffing dolly of deformable material;
- either a ball made of flexible plastic material placed in closure, followed by a load of pellets and another ball made of flexible material acting as stuffing;
- either a ball made of flexible plastic arranged in closure, followed by a load of pellets and a dolly made of flexible material acting as stuffing;
- or several flexible plastic balls joined together after the powder charge.

Pour résoudre le problème de la précision de tir, selon une autre caractéristique, l'extrémité de la douille est refermée sur la bille de fermeture métallique enrobée ou non, en matière plastique ou autre, par un sertissage à plis s'étendant radialement de manière régulière depuis la périphérie jusqu'à proximité de l'axe en laissant apparaître la bille ou la balle dans un espace central en étoile.To solve the problem of shooting accuracy, according to another characteristic, the end of the sleeve is closed on the metal closure ball coated or not, in plastic or other material, by a crimping pleats extending radially radially regular from the periphery to near the axis, allowing the ball or ball to appear in a central star-shaped space.

Ces caractéristiques et d'autres encore ressortiront de la description qui suit.These characteristics and others will emerge from the description which follows.

Afin de rendre plus concret l'objet de l'invention, on le décrit maintenant sous des formes non limitatives de réalisation illustrées aux figures des dessins dans lesquelles les cartouches sont repérées par la lettre (C), l'amorce par la lettre (A), la douille par la lettre (D), la charge de poudre par la lettre (P).In order to make the object of the invention more concrete, it is now described in nonlimiting embodiments illustrated in the figures of the drawings in which the cartridges are identified by the letter (C), the initiation by the letter (A ), the socket with the letter (D), the powder charge with the letter (P).

Selon l'invention, la cartouche présente au moins une bille (3) faisant office de bourrage, montée notamment entre la charge de poudre (P) et la charge de projectiles. Avantageusement, la bille (3) est prolongée d'un côté, par une jupe fendue (3a), recevant la charge de projectiles et, du côté de la charge de poudre, par une lèvre d'étanchéité (3b). En outre, la bille (3) présente un évidemment (3d) (figure 1).According to the invention, the cartridge has at least one ball (3) acting as a packing, mounted in particular between the powder charge (P) and the projectile charge. Advantageously, the ball (3) is extended on one side, by a split skirt (3a), receiving the charge of projectiles and, on the side of the powder charge, by a sealing lip (3b). In addition, the ball (3) has a recess (3d) (Figure 1).

Dans la variante d'exécution montrée figure 2, la bille (3) présente dans son épaisseur, une séparation (3c) sous forme d'un croisillon.In the variant shown in FIG. 2, the ball (3) has a thickness (3c) in its thickness in the form of a cross.

A la figure 3, la charge de projectiles est constituée par une bille d'acier (1) de diamètre légèrement inférieur au diamètre intérieur de la douille. Ladite bille reçoit par tous moyens connus à sa périphérie, une couche de matière déformable (2) du type matière plastique, d'épaisseur uniforme pour conserver le caractère sphérique à la bille. La bille enrobée a alors un diamètre au moins égal et de préférence légèrement supérieur au diamètre intérieur de la douille de manière à assurer lors du tir l'étanchéité aux gaz en améliorant ainsi la puissance de feu. D'autre part, le passage de la bille enrobée dans la partie extrême étranglée du canon ou choke est facilité par la déformation temporaire de la bille.In FIG. 3, the projectile charge consists of a steel ball (1) with a diameter slightly smaller than the inside diameter of the sleeve. Said ball receives by any known means at its periphery, a layer of deformable material (2) of the plastic material type, of uniform thickness to maintain the spherical character of the ball. The coated ball then has a diameter at least equal and preferably slightly greater than the inside diameter of the sleeve so as to ensure during firing gas tightness thereby improving the firepower. On the other hand, the passage of the coated ball in the choked end of the barrel or choke is facilitated by the temporary deformation of the ball.

Bien entendu, le diamètre de la bille nue et l'épaisseur de la couche de matière déformable peuvent être variable.Of course, the diameter of the bare ball and the thickness of the layer of deformable material can be variable.

A la figure 4, la charge de projectiles est constituée par trois billes accolées (3) entièrement réalisées en matière déformable telle que le PVC et de diamètre légèrement supérieur au diamètre intérieur de la douille afin d'assurer les mêmes effets que la bille métallique enrobée.In FIG. 4, the projectile charge consists of three joined balls (3) entirely made of deformable material such as PVC and of diameter slightly greater than the inside diameter of the sleeve in order to ensure the same effects as the coated metal ball. .

La cartouche illustrée à la figure 5 comprend successivement à la suite de la charge de poudre, une bille (3) en matière déformable faisant office de bourrage, une charge de plombs (4) et une autre bille (3) en fermeture.The cartridge illustrated in FIG. 5 successively comprises, after the powder charge, a ball (3) of deformable material serving as stuffing, a load of pellets (4) and another ball (3) when closing.

La cartouche selon la figure 6 est semblable à celle de la figure 4 mais avec deux billes (3) accolées et un diabolo (5) en fermeture. Bien entendu, on peut modifier cet ordre en plaçant le diabolo soit entre les deux billes (3), soit avant ces deux billes.The cartridge according to FIG. 6 is similar to that of FIG. 4 but with two balls (3) placed side by side and a diabolo (5) in closing. Of course, this order can be modified by placing the diabolo either between the two balls (3), or before these two balls.

Selon la figure 7, la cartouche présente successivement à la suite de la charge de poudre, un diabolo (5), une charge de plombs (4) et une bille (3) en fermeture.According to FIG. 7, the cartridge has, successively after the powder charge, a diabolo (5), a lead charge (4) and a ball (3) in closing.

En ce qui concerne le diabolo (5), ce dernier peut présenter différentes formes de réalisations, comme le montrent notamment les figures 12, 13 et 14. A noter que plusieurs diabolos du même type peuvent être disposés en juxtaposition.Regarding the diabolo (5), the latter can have different embodiments, as shown in particular in Figures 12, 13 and 14. Note that several diabolos of the same type can be arranged in juxtaposition.

Dans la cartouche illustrée à la figure 8, la charge de projectiles est constituée par une pluralité de plombs (4) enrobés d'une couche de matière déformable (2), suivie soit directement de la charge de poudre, soit d'un diabolo, soit d'un élément de bourrage ou une combinaison quelconque des ces éléments.In the cartridge illustrated in FIG. 8, the projectile charge consists of a plurality of pellets (4) coated with a layer of deformable material (2), followed either directly by the powder charge, or by a diabolo, either a stuffing element or any combination of these elements.

Pour les cartouches comprenant une bille (3) en matière déformable le bourrage en amont généralement réalisé à partir de granulés en matière plastique ou de poudre de polyéthylène, peut être remplacé par de la poudre de fonte donnant plus de force à la charge de poudre et une meilleure compression.For cartridges comprising a ball (3) of deformable material, the upstream stuffing generally produced from plastic granules or polyethylene powder, can be replaced by cast iron powder giving more strength to the powder charge and better compression.

A la figure 9, on a illustré une autre variante de réalisation de charge de projectiles à déformation. Dans ce cas, la charge est constituée par une balle (7) en matière déformable de forme cylindrique avec un empennage arrière (7a). Le diamètre de la balle est légèrement supérieur au diamètre intérieur de la douillle pour assurer l'étanchéité des gaz. A la suite de cette balle sont disposés un diabolo (5) et la charge de poudre.In FIG. 9, another alternative embodiment of the charge of deformation projectiles has been illustrated. In this case, the load is constituted by a ball (7) of deformable material of cylindrical shape with a rear tail (7a). The diameter of the bullet is slightly greater than the inside diameter of the bushing to ensure gas tightness. Following this ball are arranged a diabolo (5) and the powder charge.

Enfin, pour les cartouches présentant en fermeture une bille (1 ou 3) ou une balle (7), il est prévu un sertissage particulier de la cartouche apportant une plus grande précision de tir par centrage de la bille ou la balle au départ du tir. Pour cela et comme illustré à la figure 10, l'extrémité libre et débordante de la douille est refermée sur ladite balle ou bille avec un outillage approprié réalisant des plis (D1) s'étendant radialement et de manière régulière depuis la périphérie jusqu'a proximité de l'axe en laissant apparaître la bille ou la balle dans un espace central (E) en forme d'étoile.Finally, for cartridges having a ball (1 or 3) or a bullet (7) in closing, a special crimping of the cartridge is provided, providing greater shooting accuracy by centering the ball or the bullet at the start of the shooting. . For this and as illustrated in FIG. 10, the free and projecting end of the sleeve is closed on said ball or ball with an appropriate tool making folds (D1) extending radially and in a regular manner from the periphery to proximity to the axis, revealing the ball or ball in a central space (E) in the shape of a star.

Bien évidemment, la bille du bourrage (3) telle qu'illustrée figures 1 et 2, peut coopérer avec une charge de projectiles conforme à l'une quelconque des formes de réalisations décrites et illustrées précédemment.Obviously, the ball of the stuffing (3) as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, can cooperate with a charge of projectiles in accordance with any one of the forms of achievements described and illustrated above.

Enfin, la cartouche selon l'invention, quelle que soit sa forme de réalisation peut présenter en fermeture ou en bourrage d'appoint, une rondelle en matière souple déformable (8), dont la périphérie est formée d'une sphère tronquée pour délimiter une portée circulaire d'appui plate (8a).Finally, the cartridge according to the invention, whatever its embodiment may have in closing or in extra stuffing, a washer made of deformable flexible material (8), the periphery of which is formed of a truncated sphere to delimit a circular bearing surface flat support (8a).

Les avantages ressortent bien de la description.The advantages are apparent from the description.
