SIEEGIFIGATEQK forming part of Letters Patent No. $83,126, dated fieptember 2'7, 1892.
Application filed February 11, 1892.
To Q/ZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JAMES H. BATES, of New York, N. L, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Torpedoes, whereof the following is' a specification.
My invention relates to torpedoes for use in times of war.
It consists, in general terms, in a device with two chambers, one of which contains thehighpower. explosive yvhich does the damage, and the other contains a slow-burning powder or analogous material, whose combustion propels the device. 7
It consists, further, in other matters, chiefly of detail, which will be described in connection with the specific embodiment of the invention shown in the accompanying draw- IIl S.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of the whole device. Iliig. 2 is a separate longitudinal section of the chamber for the propelling-powder. Figs. 3 and 4 are details. Fig 5 shows how the device will skip on the surface of the water.
In the figures, 1 is a chamber containing a power explosive, as dynamite 2. Behind chamber 1 is a second chamber 3 to contain the slow-burning propelling-powder 4. The two shells which form these chambers may be separately made and fastened together by bolts or rivets, as shown, or may .beotherwise or other suitable material. In Fig. 2 I haveshown shell 3 as formed of sheet material wound'with wire 6 and then soldered, which makes a very strong, light, and cheap shell. 7 is a pole of wood orgaspipe extending through the chamber 3 and secured to partition 5. At its rear end it is; provided with wings or vanes 8 to guide the torpedo; If desired, these guide-blades may extend forward to the body of the torpedoigs t. the rear end of shell 3 is a spider 10 to brace the stem 7. 11 is a loose piston in shell?) in 'front oftlie propelling-charge 4. It has an device may be used.

mitted from the propelling-charge to the ex- 5c ploding charge 2. 12 is a percussion firing device of the usual formg'but any other firing In practice the torpedo is propelled by the combustion of the propelling-charge, after the 5 5 manner of. a rocket. It may be used as a submarine or aerial projectile. In Fig. 51 have shown it as fired near the waters surface and skipping or ricochetting on the surface, 13 being the water surface or wave-line."-
1. In a torpedo, the combination, substantially as set forth, of two shells'connected together, one containing an explosive charge to be exploded atthedestination of the device and the other containing a propelling-charge of slow-burning powder to propel the device, and a stem projecting rearwardly from said shells to guide them in their course. c
2. In a torpedo, the combination, substan- -7c tially as set forth, of a double shell, one chamberof which contains an exploding charge and the other at propelling-charge, a cushion between the two charges to prevent the transmission of shock, and a stem projecting rearwardly from said shells to guide them in their course. a
3. The combination, substantially as set forth, ina torpedo, of the two,shells, with a loosepiston 11 in the after shell in frontof .80 the propelling-charge.
4. The' combination,- substantially as -set forth in a torpedo, of the shell containing the enplosive charge, the shell containing the propolling-charge, flOl'li said shells, and guide-blades on said sem.,.
- 5. The combination, substantially as set forth, in a torpedo, of the double shell witha partition between its chambers, the stem se- 9Q cured to said partition and extending rearwardly through the after shell,-th,6 spider. to brace the stem 'at the end oflthe after shell, and the guide-wings upon the stem.
