AN IMPROVEMENT IN CARTRIDGES
Year: 1884

page_text: I, GEORGE KYNOCH of Witton in the County of Stafford Cartridge Manufacturer
do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for " AN IMPROVEMENT IN
CARTRIDGES" to be as follows:-
A large number of cartridge cases made of paper have been used, and many
fowling pieces are in use having charge chambers suited for such paper cartridges.
Moreover there are many wads and tools for making them of a size to fit paper
cases. When cartridge cases are made of metal which is considerably thinner than
the paper, the space within the tube is too large for the ordinary charge and wad,
and consequently metal cartridge cases, though superior in some respects to those
made of paper, are often objected to as being unsuited to the ordinary charge and
wad. My invention has for its object to avoid this difficulty by making a cartridge
case which, while it has all the advantages of metallic construction, is suited for
the ordinary charges and wads used for paper cases and is moreover better fitted
for retaining a charge without deterioration for considerable periods. For this
purpose, I make the cartridge case having its thin metal tube in the usual way and
I line it with an internal paper tube cemented to the interior surface of the metal,
so much thickness of paper being thus added to that of the metal that the interior
diameter of the case corresponds with that of the paper case and therefore suits.
the ordinary charge and wad employed for a paper case. The paper lining
moreover prevents the explosive material from acting directly on the metal of
the case.

do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for "AN IMPROVEMENT IN

described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-

The
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is -
Constructing cartridge cases of metal, thin in the tube part but having its
thickness made up to that of the paper tube cartridges by an internal paper lining
cemented to the metal, substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.
Dated this 8th day of December 1884.
