Abstract
Abstract A cartridge is composed of a casing which houses a detonating charge and of a bullet body inserted thereinto having an outer hollow portion made of a ductile material such as plastic, zinc, lead, rubber or the like to be compressed upon reaching a target. An upstanding hypodermic needle and a hypodermic medium are arranged within said hollow bullet body and upon impact upon a target the needle penetrates through the wall thereof into the target and carries hypodermic medium thereinto.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
107 words
In a hypodermic projectile including a shell housing, a detonator and a bullet inserted therein, the improvement comprising in combination: a bullet having an outer hollow portion made of a ductile material to be deformed upon reaching a target; an upstanding hypodermic needle having a baseplate positioned within said bullet and separating the deformable portion from the remaining portion of said bullet, said needle penetrating the top of said deformable portion of said bullet upon impact of same with a target; a hypodermic medium within said remaining portion of said bullet; and means causing the hypodermic medium to flow through the needle into the target upon impact.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
107 words
In a hypodermic projectile including a shell housing, a detonator and a bullet inserted therein, the improvement comprising in combination: a bullet having an outer hollow portion made of a ductile material to be deformed upon reaching a target; an upstanding hypodermic needle having a baseplate positioned within said bullet and separating the deformable portion from the remaining portion of said bullet, said needle penetrating the top of said deformable portion of said bullet upon impact of same with a target; a hypodermic medium within said remaining portion of said bullet; and means causing the hypodermic medium to flow through the needle into the target upon impact.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
77 words
In a hypodermic projectile according to claim 1 wherein the means causing hypodermic medium to flow through the needle into the target comprise: a compressible sack containing the hypodermic medium in the remaining portion of said bullet, said baseplate resting upon said sack; and a compression member positioned within said deformable portion of said bullet which acts in conjunction with said baseplate to compress the sack upon said bullet impacting said target to force hypodermic medium thereinto.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
62 words
In a hypodermic projectile according to claim 1 wherein the means causing hypodermic medium to flow through the needle into the target comprise: a baseplate firmly seated in the hollow bullet; and a pistonlike member below said plate to be forwardly propelled after impact of the bullet and to press hypodermic medium placed in front thereof through the needle into the target.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
74 words
In a hypodermic projectile according to claim 1 wherein the means causing hypodermic medium to flow through the needle into the target comprise: a perforated baseplate firmly seated in the hollow bullet; hypodermic medium above said baseplate; and a reverse space below the faceplate so that the compressed outer part of the bullet forces hypodermic medium downwardly through the baseplate into the reverse space and from there upwardly through the needle into the target.
