Sept. 12, 1950 R. T. CATJLIN ANflVIUNITION Fild June 26, 1946 INVENTDR ROBERTTCA TL/A/ 7 BY ATTORNEY Patented Sept. 12, 1950 UNITED STATES A MUNrr on Robert T. Catlin, Stratford, Conn, assignor to Remington Arms Company, Inc.', Bridgeport, Conn., a corporation of Delaware Application June 26, 1946, Serial No. 79,547
This invention relates to ammunition, particularly to the cases or shells of rimfire cartridges, and contemplates an improved construction and method of manufacture enabling or facilitating greater flexibility in the choice of metals, metal thickness and metallurgical properties for such shells.
In the drawings:
Fig. 1 shows, partly in section, a rimfire cartridge embodying one aspect of the present invention.
Fig. 2 shows diagrammatically certain equipment ordinarily used in the heading of rimfire shells.
Fig. 3 is a fragmentary enlarged section of a primed rimfire shell embodying the present invention and including a diagrammatic representation of a fragment of a firearm chamber mouth and a firing pin.
Fig. 4 is a view, substantially similar to Fig. 3, of a fragment of a conventional rimfire shell, shown for the purpose of comparison.
Fig. 5 is a fragmentary sectional View of a rimfire shell in operative relation with one form of die and hunter used in the practice of the iiig5 vention.
Fig. 6 is a view generally similar to Fig. ,5, showing a modified form of die and bunter.
In the manufacture of rimfire shells, a cup or shell blank l0 (Fig. 2), trimmed to a desired eo length and having a somewhat arcuate head, is" pushed into position in and projecting from a die H by a punch or heading stem l2 shouldered to engage the mouth of the cup or shell blank, as indicated. The blank thus held in the dieis im- 536 pasted by a bunter l3, flattening and widening"-' the head of the hollow rim configurationshown in Fig. 4. subsequently, a primer composition 14 is spun into the hollow rim. In use, the narrow face it of the rim adjacent the cylindrical body 40 is engaged with the fiat face ll of the chamber mouth, and with th loaded cartridge in this position ignition of the priming composition 14 is secured by the impact of a firing pin L8 on the opposite side of the rim. ing pin forces the rim metal inward, crushing and frictionally igniting the portion of the prirning composition l4 thereunder, the opposite face or the hollow rim, backed by the i Olid ,Inetalpf the chamber mouth If! serving as an anvil to supfi-Claims. (Cl. 102-45) The impact of the fir- 45,,

Rimflre shells of the type above described were for a great many years chiefly made from copper or alloys of high copper content, such as gilding metal copper, 5% zinc), dimensions were firing ,0 .3 ago empirically determined Withrefrence to this relatively soft low tensile strength metal; and guns for the cartridge were designed accordingly.
Gilding metal'shells are ordinarily drawn from stock of a thickness T (Figs. 3 and 4) of about .020". In the drawing of the shell the thickness of the metal in the flat portion of the head re mains Substantially unchanged, While the thickness of rim 'and'body is reduced in drawing in substantially the proportions illustrated inFig's.
3 and 4 For the conventional shell shown in Fig. 41, the total head thickness H is only slightly less than'the gun head space (distance from chamber mouth tobolt face) and is fully determined by the metal thickness T, the thickness of, the bridge B of priming composition between the baa-dang the interior of the fold or rim, and the somewhat reduced thickness of metal between the bridge 13 and the face if of the rim adjacent th bod The enormous number oi rimfire arms now-in the hands-of the public designed for a' 'certain head space and a given firing pin blow renders it impracticable toalter either of these values.
The conyentional head space must be maintained, and a sensitivity adequate to insure ignition of. the priming by astandard firing pin blowmust .be maintained. These limitations have rendered itdlflicult to'make rimlire oasesof metals of hardnes la ti y-and en p i sfli fering substantially from those of relatiyely soft gliding metal With brass and particularly various'steels, strength considerations do not require thesame' metal thickness used for copper, and such a metal thickness becomes undesirabla'because these less deformable metals do not transmit the firing pin blow with the force necessary .to insure primer ignition. When an attempt' is made'to use a thinnermetal, the head thickness be n determ ned a ab stfforth, h r e thickn ss Byis ncreas an a in sen i vity d fiiculi esar en ou tere Prior th pfel ht in en ion the r a n o b d t q i sst f 11 pa t sen it ty ha n been vfu e qenizedi to by a very small radius, describes a compound;
curve, being displaced downward toward the planar part of the head in a hollow or trough 20,
and outwardly therefrom curving back in; the direction of the shell mouth to form the lobed or" ear-shaped rim identified generally by numeral 28. The interior of the hollow rim is of generally corresponding configuration, though somewhat altered by the metal thickness gradient. The head thickness H is the distance from uppermost part 2! of the compound curve to the planar face 22 of the head, while the bridge thickness B is determined by depth of the downward fold or trough between the, chamber face engaging part 2| and the body 23. By the use of this construction, the head thickness H can be maintained, and, regardless of metal thickness, any desired bridge thickness B can be secured. The optimum bridge thickness has been found to be from .006" to .008", have been made with steels of a thickness as low as .015. The depth of the trough or re-entrant curve 20 will, of course, vary with the metal thickness. It has likewise been found that, a proper bridge thickness being maintained, sensitivity is substantially independent of metal treatment and hardness. There is thus available a flexibility in the selection and treatment of metal for which there is a need in securing correct properties in other parts of the shell.
One form of apparatus for making the shell illustrated in Fig. 3 is shown in Fig. 5. The die 25, replacing th conventional die I l shown in Fig. 2, is formed with a recess 26 terminating adjacent the shell receiving bore in a projection 27, the end of which has the configuration necessary to form the trough 2|]. The recess 26 enables the flow of metal past the projection to form the lobed or ear-shaped rim 28. Th hunter 29 may be of conventional construction similar to that identified as I3 in Fig. 2, and so mounted as to enable contact of its end face with the end face of die 25. The dimension D between the end of the projection 21 and the face of the hunter, hence the flat face of the shell head, is.
thus fully determined, and the head thickness H" is determined by the protrusion of the shell blank (see Fig. 2) beyond the end of projection 21.
A modified form of die and bunter are shown in Fig. 6. The mouth of die replacing the conventional die I l shown in Fig. 2, is not recessed but is provided with an annular projection 30 surrounding the shell receiving bore and a clearance outside of this projection to permit the formation of the lobed rim 28. The bunter 3| is adapted to engage the die face and is provided with a recess 32 of a depth which determines the head thickness I-I, while bridge thickness is fully determined by the height of the projection 30. Obviously the hunter 2!! could be used with similar results by the provision of suitable means to limit the extent of movement thereof and thus control over-all head thickness.
It will be obvious that the invention enables a control of bridge thickness which is independent of metal thickness and is wholly new to the art.
