Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for ejecting a stub sleeve ars incombustible part of a highly combustible propellant charge sleeve, from a closed combat area.
- Stub sleeves are known for example from the applicant's US-A-4 159 678. Stub sleeves are part of a partially combustible propellant charge sleeve, which is used in the ammunition of modern armored cannons, e.g. B. the 120 mm cannon of the Leopard II main battle tank is also used. While most of the combustible propellant case burns when the cartridge is fired, the stub sleeve, which is made of metal, is ejected from the loading space of the weapon barrel by means of a pull-out device after opening the breech member and must be removed without endangering the crew.
- a well-known, e.g. B. also realized in the Leopard II battle tank provides to collect the stub sleeves ejected from the barrel in a ready-made sleeve box, which is arranged in the combat area behind the barrel.
- this sleeve box prevents the installation of an automatic loader.
- a combined extractor and feeder unit for automatic firearms with a wedge lock is known, which is designed to be easy to dismantle and robust and space-saving.
- the extractor has two functions to perform, namely firstly pulling out and ejecting an empty sleeve from the weapon and then following that, capturing and inserting a new cartridge into the weapon.
- a loading rocker for guns is also known, in which a loading trough is pivoted downward parallel to itself by its own weight and the weight of the cartridge resting on the loading trough (heavy artillery ammunition). From the attachment position, the cartridge is inserted into the weapon with the aid of the attachment or by hand. After closing the breech, the loading trough returns to its upper loading position, after which a new cartridge is placed on the loading trough and the fired shot is ready to fire.
- This gun does not have a pull-out device. Information about the extraction of empty tubes or even their further transport is neither contained nor suggested in this publication.
- the invention has for its object to provide a novel ... sleeve evaluator, which quickly and safely transports the stub sleeves ejected from the gun barrel out of the combat area and which at the same time takes up so little space that the installation of an automatic loader is made possible, the performance and so that the combat strength of the weapon increases significantly.
- the sleeve ejector 100 is in the ejection position so far above the core axis of the weapon 3 that its loading space is freely accessible and a new cartridge can preferably be reloaded by an automatic loader. While the components of the automatic loader are not shown as not essential to the invention, the outline of a newly supplied cartridge is indicated by dash-dotted lines to show that the sleeve ejector 100 in the ejection position does not hinder the loading process.
- the shell 10 swivels back into the receiving position and is again ready to receive a barrel sleeve 102.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Auswerfen einer Stummelhülse ars unverbrennbaren Teil einer teiherbrennbaren Treibladungshülse, aus einem geschlossenen Kampfraum.The invention relates to a device for ejecting a stub sleeve ars incombustible part of a highly combustible propellant charge sleeve, from a closed combat area.
Stummelhülse sind beispielsweise aus der US-A-4 159 678 der Anmelderin bekannt. Stummelhülsen sind Teil einerteitverbrennbaren Treibladungshülse, die bei der munition moderner Panzerbordkanonen, z. B. auch der 120 mm - Kanone des Kampfpanzers Leopard II benutzt wird. Während der größte Teil der verbrennbaren Treibladungshülse beim Abfeuern der Patrone mitverbrennt, wird die aus Metall bestehende Stummelhülse nach dem Öffnen des Verschlußteiles mittels einer Ausziehvorrichtung aus dem Ladungsraum des Waffenrohres ausgestoßen und muß ohne Gefährdung der Besatzung entfernt werden.Stub sleeves are known for example from the applicant's US-A-4 159 678. Stub sleeves are part of a partially combustible propellant charge sleeve, which is used in the ammunition of modern armored cannons, e.g. B. the 120 mm cannon of the Leopard II main battle tank is also used. While most of the combustible propellant case burns when the cartridge is fired, the stub sleeve, which is made of metal, is ejected from the loading space of the weapon barrel by means of a pull-out device after opening the breech member and must be removed without endangering the crew.
Eine bekannte, z. B. ebenfalls im Kampfpanzer Leopard II realisierte Lösung sieht vor, die aus dem Waffenrohr ausgestoßenen Stummelhülsen in einem bereitstehenden Hülsenkasten aufzufangen, der im Kampfraum hinter dem Haffenrohr angeordnet ist. Dieser Hülsenkasten verhindert jedoch den Einbau eines automatischen Laders.A well-known, e.g. B. also realized in the Leopard II battle tank provides to collect the stub sleeves ejected from the barrel in a ready-made sleeve box, which is arranged in the combat area behind the barrel. However, this sleeve box prevents the installation of an automatic loader.
Aus der GB-A-1 255 923 ist eine kombinierte Auszieher- und Zubringereinheitfür automatische Feuerwaffen mit Keilverschluß bekannt, die einfach zerlegbar und robust sowie platzsparend ausgebildet sein soll. Bei dieser test mit der Waffe verbundenen Vorrichtung hat der Auszieher zwei Funktionen zu erfullen, nämlich einmal das Ausziehen und Auswerfen einer leeren Hülse aus der Waffe und danach folgend, daß Erfassen und Einschieben einer neuen Patrone in die Waffe.From GB-A-1 255 923 a combined extractor and feeder unit for automatic firearms with a wedge lock is known, which is designed to be easy to dismantle and robust and space-saving. In this test device connected to the weapon, the extractor has two functions to perform, namely firstly pulling out and ejecting an empty sleeve from the weapon and then following that, capturing and inserting a new cartridge into the weapon.
Aus der US-A-2 851 928 ist weiterhin eine Ladeschwinge für Geschütze bekannt, bei der eine Lademulde durch ihr eigenes Gewicht und das Gewicht der auf der Lademutde aufliegenden Patrone (schwere Artilleriemunition) parallel zu sich nach unten verschwenkt wird. Aus der Ansetzposition wird die Patrone mit Hilfe des Ansetzers oder von Hand in die Waffe eingeschoben. Nach Schließen des Verschlusses geht die Lademulde in ihre obere Beladeposition zurück, wonach eine neue Patrone auf die Lademulde gelegt wird und der angesetzte Schuß feuerbereit ist. Dieses Geschütz besitzt keine Ausziehvorrichtung. Angaben über das Ausziehen von leeren Hülsen oder gar deren Weitertransport sind in dieser Druckschrift weder enthalten noch nahegelegt.From US-A-2 851 928 a loading rocker for guns is also known, in which a loading trough is pivoted downward parallel to itself by its own weight and the weight of the cartridge resting on the loading trough (heavy artillery ammunition). From the attachment position, the cartridge is inserted into the weapon with the aid of the attachment or by hand. After closing the breech, the loading trough returns to its upper loading position, after which a new cartridge is placed on the loading trough and the fired shot is ready to fire. This gun does not have a pull-out device. Information about the extraction of empty tubes or even their further transport is neither contained nor suggested in this publication.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen neuartigen ... Hülsenauswerter anzugeben, der die aus dem Waffenrohr ausgestoßenen Stummelhülsen schnell und sicher aus dem Kampfraum hinausbefördert und der gleichzeitig so wenig Platz beansprucht, daß der Einbau eines automatischen Laders ermöglicht wird, der die Leistungsfähigkeit und damit die Kampfkraft der Waffe erheblich steigert.The invention has for its object to provide a novel ... sleeve evaluator, which quickly and safely transports the stub sleeves ejected from the gun barrel out of the combat area and which at the same time takes up so little space that the installation of an automatic loader is made possible, the performance and so that the combat strength of the weapon increases significantly.
