Centrifugal Chaff Dispenser

View page
US Patent:
39879666, Oct 26, 1976
Filed:
Nov 17, 1975
Appl. No.:
5/632421
Inventors:
Ernest V. Ruda - East Amherst NY
John E. Blickenstaff - Tonawanda NY
Clayton J. Schneider - East Aurora NY
Assignee:
Calspan Corporation - Buffalo NY
International Classification:
A01C 1700
US Classification:
239687
Abstract:
Bundles of chaff fibers are fed into a rotating preacceleration chamber having a diverging outlet. The chaff fibers are rotated with the preacceleration chamber and are forced radially outward by centrifugal force. A feed mechanism forces the rotating chaff fibers toward the diverging outlet from which they are propelled outwardly at a high velocity and at an angle almost orthogonal to the rotational axis of the chaff dispenser.

US Patent:
41290780, Dec 12, 1978
Filed:
Jun 27, 1977
Appl. No.:
5/809968
Inventors:
Clayton J. Schneider - East Aurora NY
Ernest V. Ruda - East Amherst NY
Assignee:
Calspan Corporation - Buffalo NY
International Classification:
F42B 1356
US Classification:
102 89CD
Abstract:
A chaff cartridge is made up of a plurality of chaff interpackets contained in subprojectiles. The subprojectiles are each provided with fins and the fins of each subprojectile in a chaff cartridge provide a different drag to cause the spacing out of the subprojectiles. The fins, additionally, cause the subprojectiles to rotate and thereby radially disperse the chaff.
