摘要:
The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for rapid loading of separate-loading ammunition in artillery guns (1), the shell (20) and propellant charge (21) placed after one another on or in a carrier (11) being accelerated up to a high velocity centred about the longitudinal axis of the gun barrel (1) whereafter the carrier (11) is rapidly retarded to arrest while the shell (20) and the propellant charge (21) are allowed to continue in the direction of the acceleration to their respective ramming positions (3) in the gun.

The present invention relates to a piece-mounted shell magazine (7) of the endless chain conveyor type intended for preferably self-propelled artillery pieces (1), which magazine, as a result of its design and the fact that it is mounted on the elevating system (4) of the piece, is capable in an effective manner of having in readiness a sufficient firsthand requirement of shells (24) which may be of different types and are all promptly available for firing in any order. The shell magazine (7) according to the invention is also very suitable for modernizing older pieces.

摘要:
The present invention relates to an ammunition handling system primarily for self-propelled artillery guns (1). According to the invention, the gun (1) in question is provided with carrier arms (19, 20) which are pivotally journalled in the chassis of the gun and which carry special ammunition magazines (21, 22) or cassettes in which a primary requirement of propellant charges (18) and shells (14) is stored. In such instance, the design of the carrier arms (19 and 20) and magazine (21, 22) is such that the magazine may be pivoted by simple manoeuvres forwards from a transport position where they are folded-in, in a direction towards the centre line of the gun, to a second position closely adjacent the loading breech of the gun or the replenishment position for auxiliary systems (13, 17) utilised on loading of the gun. The present invention also encompasses specific designs of the relevant magazines and a piece of ordnance designed in accordance with the inventive concept has herein disclosed.
