Patent number: 5837927Abstract: A pellet orienting member has a groove extending along a diameters of a disc for receiving a plurality of shot pellets of a first layer. The pellet orienting member may include at least one support surface adjacent to the first groove adapted to contact at least one shot pellet from a second layer. The pellet orienting member may have an additional, or second, groove on a second side extending along a second diameter. Either or both grooves may contain a separator in the groove. The groove may be of differing sizes and shapes, or may even be two depressions.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 1998Date of Patent: November 17, 1998Assignee: Olin CorporationInventor: Morris C. Buenemann, Jr.

Patent number: 5347932Abstract: The invention uses a pair of curved opposed diagonal bars between the wad and cup. The bars (deformable resistance members) buckle in the radial direction and end up basically flat between the wad and cup to give surprisingly and unexpectedly high amounts of collapse (80% or more). This allows the space between wad and cup to be decreased significantly without sacrificing cushioning.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 1993Date of Patent: September 20, 1994Assignee: Olin CorporationInventors: Robert J. Gardner, Morris C. Buenemann, Jr.

Patent number: 5138950Abstract: A moisture seal over shot wad for a roll crimped shotshell casing. The seal has a pair of spaced tubular flanges which comprise the rim portion of the disk shaped over shot wad. The tubular flanges are designed to receive the terminal end of the shotshell casing as the roll crimp is formed to frictionally engage the terminal end and seal the casing against the intrusion of moisture.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 1991Date of Patent: August 18, 1992Assignee: Olin CorporatonInventors: Robert J. Gardner, Morris C. Buenemann, Jr.

Patent number: 4958568Abstract: A shotshell having a maximum interior volume is disclosed comprising a tubular casing wall made of the biaxially oriented high density polyethylene, and injection molded basewad also made of high density polyethylene molded in place at one end of the tubular casings to close the end. The basewad has a skirt portion fused to the tubular wall to bond the basewad and the tubular casing wall together while maintaining the biaxial integrity of the tubular casing wall.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 1989Date of Patent: September 25, 1990Assignee: Olin CorporationInventor: Morris C. Buenemann

Patent number: 4867066Abstract: An improved reduced volume plastic basewad for a shotshell casing includes a generally solid cylindrical plastic body portion, an annular outer continuous skirt portion merging integrally and upwardly from the body portion, and a raised annular inner continuous hub portion merging integrally and upwardly from the body portion. The skirt and body portions define a continuous exterior surface sized relative an interior surface of a plastic tube of the casing for tightly frictionally fitting within the tube at a bottom end portion thereof providing a gas seal with the tube interior surface. The hub and body portions define a continuous interior surface forming an elongated pocket for receiving a primer in a tight frictional fitting relation in the pocket with an upper end of the primer disposed adjacent an upper end of the hub portion.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 1988Date of Patent: September 19, 1989Assignee: Olin CorporationInventor: Morris C. Buenemann, Jr.
