Abstract

A pellet for a sporting rifle or a sporting gun includes a body and a tip that are joined together. A lower portion of the body includes a first internal cavity, and a head of the body includes a second internal cavity. The tip includes an upper part ending in at least one vertex and a lower part, the upper and lower parts being joined at their bases. The lower part of the tip is received in the second internal cavity. A portion of the head may be crimped around the tip to hold the tip inside the second internal cavity of the body. An outer hoop may be formed on the tip, and the portion of the head that is crimped may be crimped above the hoop to securely hold the tip in the body.

Claims (20)

1. A procedure for the manufacture of a pellet for sporting rifles and pistols, comprising:

arranging a tip over a support, the support comprising a body with a first internal cavity and a head with a second internal cavity, the second internal cavity having sufficient size to house at least part of the tip, wherein the tip comprises an upper part ending in a upper vertex and a lower part ending in a lower vertex, wherein the upper part is conical and is symmetrical with the lower part, and wherein the lower part faces the second internal cavity and the lower part has shape substantially complementary to the second internal cavity;

inserting the tip into the second internal cavity so that the lower part of the tip impacts on an inside of the second internal cavity and a portion of the tip is positioned inside the second internal cavity; and

crimping a portion of the head of the body to fix the tip to the head.

2. A procedure for the manufacture of a pellet for sporting rifles and pistols, comprising:

arranging a tip over a support, the support comprising a body with a first internal cavity and a head with a second internal cavity, the second internal cavity having sufficient size to house at least part of the tip, wherein the tip comprises an upper part ending in a upper vertex and a lower part ending in a lower vertex, wherein the upper part is symmetrical with the lower part, and wherein the lower part faces the second internal cavity and the lower part has shape substantially complementary to the second internal cavity;

inserting the tip into the second internal cavity so that the lower part of the tip impacts on an inside of the second internal cavity and a portion of the tip is positioned inside the second internal cavity; and

crimping a portion of the head of the body to fix the tip to the head;

wherein the tip comprises an outer hoop and the second internal cavity comprises an internal neck in the form of a hoop so that during the inserting step, the hoop of the tip fits into the neck.

3. A procedure in accordance with claim 2 wherein during the crimping step, a portion of the head is crimped around the hoop of the tip.

4. A procedure for the manufacture of a pellet for sporting rifles and pistols, comprising:

arranging a tip over a support, the support comprising a body with a first internal cavity and a head with a second internal cavity, the second internal cavity having sufficient size to house at least part of the tip, wherein the tip comprises an upper part ending in a upper vertex and a lower part ending in a lower vertex, wherein the upper part is symmetrical with the lower part, and wherein the lower part faces the second internal cavity;

inserting the tip into the second internal cavity so that the lower part of the tip impacts on an inside of the second internal cavity and a portion of the tip is positioned inside the second internal cavity;

wherein the tip comprises an outer hoop and the second internal cavity comprises an internal neck in the form of a hoop so that during the inserting step, the hoop of the tip fits into the neck; and

crimping a portion of the head of the body to fix the tip to the head.

5. A procedure in accordance with claim 4 , wherein the lower part has substantially the same shape as the second internal cavity.

6. A procedure for the manufacture of a pellet for sporting rifles and pistols, comprising:

arranging a tip over a support, the support comprising a body with a first internal cavity and a head with a second internal cavity, the second internal cavity having sufficient size to house at least part of the tip, wherein the tip comprises an upper part ending in a upper vertex and a lower part ending in a lower vertex, wherein the upper part is pyramidal and is symmetrical with the lower part, and wherein the lower part faces the second internal cavity and the lower part has shape substantially complementary to the second internal cavity;

inserting the tip into the second internal cavity so that the lower part of the tip impacts on an inside of the second internal cavity and a portion of the tip is positioned inside the second internal cavity; and

crimping a portion of the head of the body to fix the tip to the head.
