Abstract

The invention relates to a means for mechanically incapacitating small objects using a snare in the form of a structure consisting of weights interconnected by lines which unfolds in flight, and more particularly relates to an elongate incapacitating element for a projectile. An elongate incapacitating element comprises a weight having a line fastened thereto by a first end. The weight has a recess. The line is stowed in the recess. Regions of the line of the elongate incapacitating element are additionally glued together. The weight has two parallel faces, the recess being formed in one of said parallel faces. The glued regions of the line are stowed in the recess such as to be capable of exiting the recess in a glued state when the line is pulled by a second end, the second end being positioned for connection to an external object. The technical result is that of increasing the likelihood of incapacitating a small object by increasing the incapacitating area of a snare.

THREAD CONSTRUCTION FOR AMMUNITION COVER

[0001] The invention relates to a means of mechanically damaging small objects using a cape. The cape is a deployed structure consisting of extended striking elements, or more specifically, weights and connecting threads. The cape is fired toward the target using a projectile from a rifled weapon. Targets can include birds and flying drones (unmanned aerial vehicles). The invention is applicable for bird hunting, ornithological research, and countering flying drones in the organization of security systems for facilities and public events in open areas.

[0002] The closest analogue to the claimed technical solution is an extended projectile striker described in French patent FR 491876, published June 20, 1919. The extended projectile striker consists of a weight and a thread attached to it at its first end. The weight has a recess. The thread is placed within the recess. The threads of other extended strikers are connected to each other at their second ends, forming a cape. After the projectile deploys, the cape unfolds in flight and is capable of striking a target.

[0003] A drawback of the known extended projectile submunition is that its threads, due to the inevitable rotation of the payload, can become tangled around the payload, thereby reducing the effective area. Consequently, there is a technical problem: the target hit probability of the known device is low.

[0004] The purpose of this technical solution is to provide a projectile with a cape with extended striking elements, the threads of which do not wind around the load during flight to the target, which leads to an increase in the striking area.

[0005] To solve a technical problem and achieve a technical result, the design of a known device was modified. A known device is an extended projectile striker comprising a weight and a thread attached to it at its first end. A recess is formed in the weight, and the thread is positioned within the recess. Sections of the thread of this known extended striker are further bonded with adhesive. Its weight has two parallel faces, with a recess formed in one of the parallel faces. The bonded sections of the thread are positioned within the recess, with the ability to exit the recess in a bonded state when the thread is pulled by the second end.

[0006] Additionally, the load can be shaped like a cylinder, with a niche created at the end of the cylinder.

[0007] In addition, the first end of the thread can be attached to a load on an imaginary axis of symmetry of the cylinder in the shape of which the load is made.

[0008] In addition, the outer edges of the niche can be smoothed.

[0009] Additionally, the thread can be folded into a zigzag. A zigzag consists of parallel sections and folded sections. The parallel sections are glued together and can be straightened by pulling the other end of the thread.

[0010] Additionally, the thread can be folded in a zigzag pattern. A zigzag consists of parallel sections and folded sections. The folded sections are glued together and can be straightened by pulling the other end of the thread.

[0011] In addition, rosin can be used as glue.

[0012] In addition, the load can be made of lead alloy.

[0013] In addition, the thread can be made of aromatic polyamide material.

[0014] In addition, the thread can be made of metal wire.

[0015] The technical result that this technical solution is aimed at achieving is to increase the probability of hitting a small object with a cape due to an increase in the striking area.

[0016] Due to the fact that the modified design of the extended projectile element has sections of its thread bonded with glue and placed in a recess, the probability of them wrapping around the projectile during its flight toward the target is significantly reduced. After the bonded thread assembly exits the recess and sections of the thread sequentially separate from the remaining bonded sections as the projectile moves away from the projectile, the entire thread becomes taut. This taut state of the thread prevents it from wrapping around the rotating projectile. The process of thread wrapping around the projectile is also impeded by the bonded thread assembly itself, which moves away from the projectile following the projectile. It is a relatively massive and voluminous object for the surface of the rotating projectile to capture, having two parallel faces, one of which contains a recess. This increases both the striking area and the probability of the cape hitting the target. Figure 1

[0026] schematically depicts a possible design of a cape for a rifled weapon with extended striking elements, shown in, in the process of its deployment after a shot at a flying object.

[0027] The extended projectile striking element (2) consists of a lead alloy weight 1 and a thread 2 made of aromatic polyamide material. Weight 1 is shaped like a flat cylinder, the diameter of which is greater than its height. A niche 3 is formed in the end of the cylinder. The outer edges 4 of niche 3 are smoothed.

[0028] Thread 2 is compactly laid in niche 3 with the possibility of straightening when pulling it by the second end 6. Thread 2 is attached to load 1 using a knot with its first end 5. The first end of thread 2 is attached to load 1 on an imaginary axis of symmetry of a cylinder, which is the basis of the shape of load 1. On the generatrix of the cylindrical surface of load 1, a circumferential groove 7 is made. When equipping a projectile with capes with similar extended damaging elements, a section of the ring connecting the second ends 6 of threads 2 is placed in this groove.

[0029] Figure 4 schematically depicts the arrangement of yarn 2 of the cape. It consists of yarn 2 laid in a zigzag pattern. Each zigzag consists of parallel sections 10 and folded sections 11. The parallel sections 10 of the arrangement are connected with glue 12. Rosin is used as the glue. It should be noted that for clarity, the volume of glue 12 in the diagrams shown in Figure 4 is significantly overstated. For the arrangement to function effectively, it is sufficient that the parallel sections 10 of yarn 2 touch each other.

[0030] A cross-section of the yarn arrangement 2 shown in [fig. 1] is shown, indicating the order of the yarn arrangement. Each parallel section 10 has an alphanumeric designation on the cross-section of its yarn. The schematic arrangement has 5 rows, designated by positions 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17, respectively. The first row 17 is designated by the letter a, and the numbers of its parallel sections are designated by numbers 1 through 11 from top to bottom. The second row is designated by the letter b, and the numbers of its parallel sections are designated by numbers 1 through 10, indicated in reverse order—from bottom to top. That is, parallel section all after the inflection section transitions to parallel section b1. This order of the parallel sections 10 is maintained further, for rows 14, 15, 16, and 17.

[0031] Figure 6 shows a diagram of the placement of thread 2, in which the bend sections 11 are connected with glue 12 only on one side of the parallel sections 10. The parallel sections 10 are arranged in an orderly manner, similar to the order shown in.

[0032] The arrangement of thread 2, the bend sections 11 of which are connected with glue 1 on both sides of parallel sections 10, is shown in . Parallel sections 10 are arranged in an orderly manner, similar to the order shown in .

[0033] A longitudinal section of the schematic arrangement of thread 2 is shown, the bend sections 11 of which are connected with glue 12. In this case, parallel sections 10 are located randomly.

[0034] The device operates as follows. After firing at the target, the extended striking element, consisting of the load 1 () with the thread 2 stored in the niche 3, rotates within the projectile. Other extended striking elements of the same design are located within the projectile, forming a cape when deployed. Upon approaching the target by the means and / or method of deploying the projectile known from the prior art, the load 1 is released from the projectile 20 (). It flies along a tangent line to the circle of rotation of its center of mass. In the system of spatial coordinates associated with the projectile, the direction of its flight is shown by a straight arrow pointing radially away from the axis of rotation. The storage 21, when folded, falls out of the niche 3 under the action of the tension force from the second end 6 of the thread 2. The load 1 also rotates around its own axis of rotation, passing through its center of mass and parallel to the axis of rotation of the projectile.However, the winding of thread 2 around load 1 does not occur due to this rotation, since thread 2 is well laid out in packing 21 and represents a relatively massive and voluminous object for capture by the surface of the rotating load 1. And that part of thread 2 that has already come out of packing (the first end 1 and the second end 2) are taut and cannot be captured by the surface of load 1.

[0035] Load 1 flies further and further away from the axis of rotation of projectile 20, pulling thread 2 section by section from packing 21 and gradually losing speed. This loss of speed is explained by the inevitable loss of energy due to the breakdown of adhesive 12 (-8) and the resulting tension in thread 2.

[0036] A schematic representation of a possible design for a cape for a rifled weapon 22 with extended striking elements connected together, during its deployment after a shooter fires a shot 23 at a small flying target 24, is shown in . Weights 1, together with threads 2, fly toward the target along a ballistic trajectory.

[0037] When the cape, consisting of weights 1 and the connecting threads 2, reaches the target 24, it will be struck. It is less likely that one of the weights 1 will strike and damage the target 24. It is more likely that one of the threads 2 of the cape will catch on the flying target 24. After this, due to the interconnected nature of all the elements of the cape, weights 1 will begin to wrap around it. This will prevent the further flight of the small target 24 and will cause it to fall.

[0038] The claimed device can be used permanently in bird hunting cloaks, for ornithological research, and for counterterrorism purposes, such as securing facilities (including airports and stadiums) and public events in open spaces. Temporarily, during military operations, the device can also be used in combat. When repelling attacks by swarms of flying drones, the device is used in shells for remotely controlled automatic weapons coupled with a fire control system. It is most successfully used against drones with flight programs and / or artificial intelligence, which make limited use of operator radio control and radio navigation. The device can also be successfully used against drones controlled via fiber optics.

Other embodiments of the invention may be obvious to those skilled in the art without altering its essence as disclosed herein. Accordingly, the invention should be considered limited in scope only by the following claims.
