Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1475601A1] Projectile comprises a segmented bar and a shoe having engaging projections that enable the bar to be propelled axially by the shoe when the projectile is launched. There is an axial clearance between the projections, to allow a limited relative axial displacement of the shoe relative to the bar, while shaped surfaces on the teeth ensure a radial lock between the shoe and bar when the shoe is in its most advanced position, but not when recoiled. The projectile comprises a bar (2) and a shoe (3), typically of aluminum, in a number of segments having engaging tooth-shaped surface projections (D2, D3) that enable the bar to be propelled axially by the shoe when the projectile is launched. There is an axial clearance (J) between the bar and shoe projections, to allow a limited relative axial displacement of the shoe in relation to the bar, while shaped surfaces (11, 12) on the teeth ensure a radial lock between the shoe and bar when the shoe is in its most advanced position, but not when the shoe is recoiled. The projections can be annular or spiral, with conical locking surfaces.
