Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- an artillery projectile comprising:
- a body comprising external threads;
- and
- a band threaded to the external threads and configured to cooperate with an inner surface of a barrel of an artillery piece to thereby impart rotation to the artillery projectile during launch from the artillery piece.
1 more element
A method of manufacturing an artillery projectile, comprising:
- threadedly engaging a band with first threads that extend around a periphery of one of first and second segments of a segmented body of the artillery projectile such that, during launch of the artillery projectile from a barrel of an artillery piece, the band cooperates with an inner surface of the barrel to thereby impart rotation to the artillery projectile;
- and
- forming a mechanical joint between the first and second segments by threadedly engaging second threads of the first segment with third threads of the second segment.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
