A'DVERTJSING BOMB SHELL.

- (Application filed Aug. 8, 1899.) (Ho flindal.)

' rs AY Aovsnrisine-eomesssrr.

. SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No.'645,135, dated March 13, 1900.'

Application filed August 8, .1899.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH SCALONA, a subject of the King of Italy, but now residing at the city of Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Advert-ising-Bombshells, of which the following is a specification:

My invention has relation to a means for distributing or scattering broadcast advertising and other matter by an exploding device employed as the vehicle for said matter and causing the distribution or scattering of such matter; and in such connection my invention relates to the general construction and arrangernent ofthe device for the defined purposes. p

The principal objects of my invention are, first, to provide a simple, durable, effective, and safe bombshell or the like adapted to contain and scatter or distribute broadcast upon the exploding of the shellor device in daytime matter of an advertising naturesuch as circulars, dodgers, or slips containing descriptive and illustrative matter-or at night pyrotechnic matter, such as stars or lights, and, second, to provide an advertising-V bombshell or the like in which the parts thereof are adapted to be readily assembled and removed one from the other and that and claimed.

The nature and characteristic features of my invention will be more fully understood from the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, forming part hereof, in which- Figure 1 is a front elevational view of a bombshell or similar device in complete form ready for use embodying the features of my invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view through the device of Fig. 1, showing the in- Serial ITO-726,497, (No model.)

ternal construction and arrangement of the two threaded members of the shell, also the manner of fusing from bothends and cap at the bottom, with which the fuse thread or cord is connected for igniting from beneath the powder contained in the central chamber of the device; and Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view on the line a: .r of Fig. 2.

Referriu g to the drawings, A represents the complete shell or the-like, consisting of two members a and a. The upper member a, of cylindrical or other form, is made of pasteboard, papier-m-ach, asbestos, wood, or other light and safe material, and the exterior sun face is ribbed or threaded and has a olosedtop 1 aiwith a fuse-stem a extending therethrough and projecting some distance from the top a as clearly illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2. The stem extends into the interior of the upper shell (1 and into a double-walled chamber b, adapted to contain asuitable exploding material b. Between the inner and outer wall of said chamber 1) is packed sawdustkor the like 12, and between the exterior sur ace of the chamber h and wall of the shell as is provided an annular space c, within which are adapted to be packed for beingscattered broadcast or distributed circulars or other similar matter, or in .the space 0 may be packed or placed matterzadapted upon the exploding of the shell to give olf lighted stars or other designs by night. The sawdust packed between the inner and outer walls of the central chamber 12 is placed therein to protect the advertising or other matter within the annular space 0 of the shell from the effects of the explosive action of the powder or material within the body of the chamber b in the firing and exploding of the shell or device A.

The lower member a is cylindrical in form, with a closed bottom a and with a ribbed or threaded exterior surface, so as to be adapted to be screwed onto the upper member a, and thereby to form a compact shell A'-such, for example, as illustrated in Fig.1 of the drawings. To the bottom of the member a is applied a powder-cap f.

p The fuse-stem a. has coiledaround the same a divided fuse cord or string 01, and extending along the exterior wall of the shell a and terminating within the cap f on the bottom of the member a, beneath the base of the cen- 2 scares tral explosive-material chamber b, so as to permit of the ready exploding of the combined shell A from both ends, as the fusestem a isa time-fuse, and the cord is slightly more rapid than said stem in its fusing; but both ends of the shell are arranged so as to ignite and explode at about the same time and without destroying the advertising matter packed in any preferred manner within the shell a around about the chamber b of the device, as clearly illustrated in Fig. 2 of the drawings;

lnstead of packing the space 0 with circulars or the like for daytime distribution this space may be packed with a material or materials adapted upon the explosion of the shell to give off different-colored lights in the form of stars or the like.

l he device is so constructed and arranged that the respective shells a and a may be readily assembled and taken apart for being packed and then exploded with safety for causing the internal contents to be widely scattered about as an advertising medium in the daytime or at night to scatter lights or stars carrying balloons or other devices.

Having thus described the nature and objeets of my invention, whatl claim as new, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is-

1. Anadvertising-bombshellor the like, comprising two members screw-threaded and turning on each other, the outer member provided with an internal chamber adapted to contain an exploding material with a fuse and a space around about said chamber for receiving and holding advertising or other matter and the inner member provided at the base with a cap into which extends the fuse of said outer member, substantially as and for the purposes described.

2. An advertising-bombshell or the like, comprisingtwo cylindrical members screwing onto each other, the outer member provided with a chamber adapted to contain explosive material with a fuse and the inner member provided with an ignitible or explosible cap with which is connected the fuse of the outer member, substantially as and for thenected with the stem of said internal chain-n her and extending into a cap located at the base of the other member of said shell, substantially as and for the purposes described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set,

my signature in the presence of two'subscribing witnesses. A

JOSEPH SOALONA.
