    摘要: Disclosed is an arrangement for feeding ammunition to a weapon. The weapon is mounted to an elevation device arranged to allow elevation movement of the weapon about an elevation axis. The arrangement includes a feeding chute connected at one end to the weapon. The feeding chute includes a set of elements assembled together in a stacked configuration. The set of elements is arranged about a shaft configured to be concentrically arranged relative to the elevation axis so as to allow movement of individual elements of the set of elements about the shaft in connection to elevation movement of the weapon about the elevation axis. The invention also relates to a vehicle with an arrangement according to the present invention.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an arrangement for feeding ammunition to a weapon (20). The weapon (20) is mounted to an elevation device (30) arranged to allow elevation movement of the weapon (20) about an elevation axis (Z1). The arrangement comprises a feeding chute (40; 140) connected at one end to the weapon (20). The feeding chute (40) comprises a set of elements (42; 142) assembled together in a stacked configuration. The set of elements (42; 142) is arranged about a shaft (44; 144) configured to be concentrically arranged relative to the elevation axis (Z1) so as to allow movement of individual elements of the set of elements (42; 142)) about said shaft (44; 144) in connection to elevation movement of the weapon (20) about the elevation axis (Z1). The invention also relates to a vehicle with an arrangement according to the present invention.

    摘要: A storage and feed mechanism (10) stores ammunition (A) for a weapon (W) and facilitates feeding the ammunition to the weapon during firing. A magazine (12) comprises a storage chamber located adjacent the weapon and capable of storing a plurality of rounds of the ammunition. Individual rounds of ammunition are linked together on an ammunition belt (B) which carries the rounds to the weapon during firing. An ammunition feed (32) includes an inlet chute (33a) positioned above the magazine and allowing linked rounds of ammunition to be vertically extracted from the magazine thereby preventing tip-over and similar problems. The feed further includes a fixed fan section (32a) comprising a rigid chute through which the belt of ammunition is drawn. A sprocket drive (62) includes an appropriate gear (64) which engages the ammunition belt to draw the linked ammunition from the magazine up through the chute to the receiver. Use of the rigid chute minimizes resistance to movement of the ammunition belt and eliminates jams caused by belt stretching, and enables ammunition to be fed to the weapon regardless of the weapon's angle of elevation during firing.

    摘要: Belted ammunition of either the "ball" or the shorter "SLAP" type is supplied through a flexible feed chute to a 7.62 mm mini machine gun using a specially configured feed adapter interconnected between the outlet end of the feed chute and the inlet of the gun feeder mechanism. The feed adapter, through which the ammunition passes into the gun feed mechanism, is provided with at least one internal roller around which the ammunition belt operatively passes. The roller has a side surface contour with a sloped shoulder portion which complementarily engages the sloping shoulders of the individual ammunition rounds passing around the roller. This complementary shoulder engagement longitudinally indexes the rounds within the adapter and limits undesirable longitudinal shifting of the rounds therein. In one embodiment thereof the adapter is connected to an aircraft plank-mounted mini gun and permits the ammunition belt to be routed over the gun, turned downwardly, and then bent sharply back into the gun's feeder mechanism without tending to cause ammunition jamming at the feed mechanism due to the sharp belt bend. In a second embodiment thereof the feed adapter is connected to a pintle-mounted mini gun and serves to provide improved vertical pivoting clearance between the gun and an aircraft door or window sill structure upon which the gun-supporting pintle apparatus is mounted. In a third embodiment thereof the feed adapter is connected to a pintle-mounted gun slidably mounted on a pivotable support arm member extending outwardly through an aircraft side door opening.

    摘要: A cartridge belt guiding mechanism for automatic weapons disposed between the outlet of an ammunition belt storage container and the ammunition belt inlet of the automatic weapon. The guiding mechanism is composed of a plurality of open frame-like elements. Each element has a plurality of pins extending from opposite faces thereof. Coil springs are mounted on the pins and are connected to confronting faces of the frame-like elements. The coil springs define a flexible guide channel adapted slidingly guide therethrough the cartridges of the ammunition belt. The end elements of the channel are respectively connected to the outlet of the ammunition belt storage container and the ammunition belt inlet of the automatic weapon.
