Abstract: Ammunition cartridge including a rigid casing including a tubular sleeve and a base closing an end of the casing, a projectile mounted at another end of the casing, a propellant charge contained inside the casing, and an ignition device. The projectile includes a solid material body having a volume V1 extending between a tip to a trailing end, wherein the projectile further includes a cavity that extends into the body from the trailing end, a volume V2 of the cavity being at least fifteen percent (15%) of a combined volume V1+V2 of the projectile solid material and cavity: V2>0.15×(V1+V2).

Abstract: A multi-part casing for an ammunition cartridge comprising a tubular sleeve and a base, the base assembled and fixed to the tubular sleeve by a weld arrangement. The base comprises an end wall having a rim, an extraction groove adjacent the rim, and a tubular extension extending from the end wall and having an outer surface in contact with an inner surface of a base end of the tubular sleeve. The welding arrangement comprises a weld line that spirals around the base end of the tubular sleeve from a weld line start point positioned over the tubular extension of the base spiraling to a weld line end section positioned over the extraction groove, a surface portion of the extraction groove interfacing with the tubular sleeve having a machined surface such that the weld line ends in the machined surface.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing cases, in which a case sleeve is formed from thin sheets, forming at least one element over an insert, a form or a cavity reproducing the conicity, the shoulder and the mouth that are characteristic of the case. The invention also relates to a product produced by the method, such as an ammunition case.

Abstract: A hand towel dispenser of the type that unrolls clean towel from a roll in metered portions, dispenses the clean towel in the form of a towel loop, and rolls used towel portions on a takeup roll utilizes a used towel portion to form a length of the towel loop, thus conserving clean towel dispensation and use. An oscillating roller forms an additional loop of used towel within the dispenser. The roller tracks within the dispenser to allow the formed additional towel loop to be formed into a part of the main towel loop.

Abstract: A towel dispenser is provided with a pivoting unit into which a winding roller driven by way of a friction drive is mounted in an easily suspensible manner. An additional loop, which is tightened by a compensator roller in a direction +p, is formed in the dispenser in front of the winding roller, and when clean towel is pulled down a portion of used towel (T′) is used to form the rear part of a loop of cloth (T; T′) used in the front part. Changing used cloth (T′) and loading with clean towel (T) is performed by rotating the pivoting unit, can be carried out in a very simple manner and is completed by opening or closing the cover of the dispenser. A path- and time-dependent control of the towel delivery is integrated in the dispenser.

Abstract: A process and a device for dispensing portions of a continuous strip of towel provides that the strip of material is guided from a clean area into a used area at the back of the apparatus. The position or height of a corresponding partition between the areas may be controlled. The stock of clean strip of material is preferably monitored and when it is spent, the remaining strip of material is drawn in a defined manner, preventing the towel from being accidentally reused. In one embodiment, the strip of material is folded in both areas and is thus easy and hygienic to handle. A system with cassettes that may be exchanged as a whole is also disclosed.
