  • Noise controllable nozzle closure
    Patent number: 4036013
    Abstract: A rocket motor nozzle closure for controlling the initial release of prese from the rocket motor nozzle to reduce the occurrence of high pressure shock fronts which are detrimental to the weapon operator. The mass and geometry of the nozzle closure are predetermined to fit the desired motor performance. The release of motor pressure is controlled by the rate of change of momentum of the nozzle closure.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 22, 1975
    Date of Patent: July 19, 1977
    Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Army

  • Vented in-tube burning rocket
    Patent number: H684
    Abstract: A rocket for firing from a tube having open ends wherein a rocket motor sed from a projectile is connected to the projectile by a frangible, ported collar, the front of the motor having a vent for allowing combustion products to flow into the tube between the motor and the projectile. The pressure of the combustion products between the motor and the projectile will break the collar to allow the projectile to exit from the tube at a high velocity.

  • Reduced temperature sensitivity launch motor
    Patent number: H795
    Abstract: A rocket motor that has a main exhaust nozzle area and a secondary exhaust ozzle area with the secondary exhaust nozzle area being closed by burst discs that rupture and open secondary nozzle areas when predetermined temperatures and pressures are reached when propellant is burned inside the rocket motor.
