摘要:
A tank (1) with an overlying gun (2) which is mounted in a cradle (3) disposed on the crew turret (4) also includes a loading pendulum (16) which is disposed in a journal ring (15) pivotal in relation to the crew turret. The loading pendulum and the gun are asymmetrically journalled, which implies that the positions of the gun and the loading pendulum are dependent upon the elevation/depression of the gun. This problem is solved in that the gun is longitudinally/vertically displaced in the plane of elevation on elevation/depression. This is achieved in that the cradle is retractably disposed in the plane of elevation with the aid of a member (7) determining the degree of retraction, and that the gun may be elevated/depressed about an abutment (11) journalled in the revolving portion, or turret, and the gun, this abutment being movable in the plane of elevation. The above-mentioned devices (7, 11) and the cradle are arranged so as, in the different elevations/depressions, to adapt the position of the breech of the gun to the pivotal movement of the loading pendulum about its pivotal centre (20).

A tank features magazines which hold ammunition units (3a, 3b) of different types. The feeding path includes discharge devices for discharging the ammunition units from the magazines, and a turntable (8) for receiving each respective ammunition unit discharged from the magazines and turning the ammunition unit to a traverse direction which coincides with a preset traverse direction for the gun of the tank. There are further included means for transferring each respective ammunition unit from the turntable to the ramming position in the gun. The turntable is provided with two carrier units (8a, 8b) for ammunition units. The carrier units are alternatingly movable into and out of the feeding path for the ammunition units. On feeding of the first type of ammunition unit (3a), the first unit operates in the feeding path, while the second unit is located outside the feeding path where it carries an ammunition unit (3b) of the second type. On switching from the one ammunition type to the other, the turntable is disposed to move the first carrier unit out of the feeding path and the second carrier unit into the feeding path.

A tank (1) is designed with an overlying gun (3) and a crew turret (2). The traverse movements of the gun and the crew turret are coordinated. A complete ammunition handling system (9, 11) for reserve ammunition (10) is provided ancillary to the standard feeding and loading system. The reserve system includes an ammunition tube which is guided by a linkage system (9) between a rest position and a position in an extension of the bore axis (5). The ammunition tube is provided with its own ramming means (11a). At a predetermined traverse position for the gun and the crew turret, reserve ammunition may be transferred to the system when this assumes an initial position. The reserve system may be actuated in a per se known manner so that the ammunition tube assumes a position in association with the breech, where the ammunition unit may be longitudinally displaced into the gun with the aid of the above-mentioned ramming means (11a).

摘要:
The disclosure relates to a round feeding device for fully- and semi-automatic artillery pieces, adapted for the stepwise transverse feeding of the rounds (5), transversely of their own longitudinal direction. This transverse feeding is realised by means of two parallel, rotationally interconnected feed screws (1, 2), whose pitch, outer diameter and flange thicknesses (a, b) on the screw threads have been adapted to the current diameters of the rounds (5) on a level with that point along the nose and case sections, respectivelym, where the rounds rest on the feed screws (1, 2). Rotation of the feed screws is realised in that the linear return movement of a helical spring (7) axially compressed by recoil of the gun is converted into a rotary movement by the intermediary of a rack (6) fixedly connected to the spring (7) and therewith interconnected cog wheels (8, 10 and 14). The apparatus further comprises governed brake means (12, 13, 19 and 16) which ensure that the feed screws are braked unto arrest at the end of each feed step.
