  • DUAL SIDED AND DUAL PROCESS BANDOLIER
    Publication number: 20090183628
    Abstract: A method of making bullets on a progressive die wherein the progressive dies acts on a work piece having an elongated body with blanks at each end. The work piece is supported by a bandolier which is also formed in the progressive die. The progressive die forms each blank into a bullet, effectively doubling the output of the progressive die relative to a progressive die that acts upon a work piece that supports, or is, a single blank.

  • Bandoliered flechettes and method for manufacturing bandoliered flechettes
    Patent number: 7383760
    Abstract: A method of making flechettes employing the use of a progressive die which forms (a) wire that results in the flechette, and (b) strip material that results in a carrier for the finished flechettes. The carrier, which is a bandolier apparatus, is used for progressing the flechette through the progressive die at various forming stations. After forming of the flechette in the die is complete, the final flechette can be severed from the bandolier, or the flechette can remain intact with the bandolier for post-forming operations, such as coating/finishing. The bandolier is thus a novel approach to transporting the flechettes in both forming and post-forming processing.
