Abstract: 4658. Lentz, P. Aug. 12, 1908, [Convention date]. Projectiles.-Consists in a projectile for igniting the gas in balloons or air-ships and comprising two parts 2, 4, Fig. 2, normally held together by spring catches 6 and containing between them in a frangible vessel 13 an inflammable substance, such as a mixture of phosphorus and carbon bisulphide, or of sulphuric acid and potassium permanganate. When the projectile leaves the gun, hooks 9 pivoted to the base-portion 4 and previously turned down into recesses 10 in the front portion 2 are pressed outwards by springs 11 into the position shown by the full lines, so that when the projectile penetrates the envelope of the balloon, the hooks will be caught by the fabric thereof and will be turned backwards into the position shown by the dotted lines; thus causing pins 12 on the hooks to release the catches 6, at the same time that the inner ends of the hooks fracture the vessel 13. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also a modification in which the hooks 9 are adapted to release a spring-presse I hammer to effect the ignition of a primer. In this case the base of the projectile is not separable from the body. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
