Definitions

  • the technical field of the invention is that of feeding devices of a munitions weapon secured to links.
  • Such devices are well known and generally include one or more feed corridors driving ammunition from a storage crate to the weapon.
  • One of the main problems with the feeding devices is that of facilitating the quick reloading of the weapon.
  • the known devices are complex because they require moving the empty box to position the full box in the vicinity of the ammunition supply device.
  • the device according to the invention makes it possible to ensure a fast reloading of a weapon, reloading can even be done without de-energizing the weapon.
  • the device according to the invention also makes it possible to minimize the forces exerted on the ammunition strips.
  • the subject of the invention is a device for feeding an ammunition weapon secured to links and from an ammunition box, characterized in that it comprises on the one hand at least two ammunition boxes arranged side-by-side and secured to a side wall of a carriage, and secondly an introduction corridor whose opening is disposed above the boxes and substantially at a plane separating the boxes, each box being moreover slide relative to the wall to pass, after the withdrawal of the other box, from an initial position to a final position which was the one previously occupied by the other box.
  • the device may comprise two identical boxes.
  • the device may comprise at least one horizontal bar attached to the side wall and on which the boxes are hooked.
  • the device comprises two horizontal bars receiving the boxes, each box having hooks fixed at a rear face, hooks for cooperating with the bars.
  • the device may comprise a locking means ensuring the locking of the boxes on the bars
  • the locking means may include an eccentric mounting of the lower bar relative to its pivot axis.
  • the introduction corridor may be pivotally mounted relative to an axis substantially perpendicular to the side wall.
  • the ammunition will preferably be arranged in each box so that the first link of the band is disposed at an upper lateral edge and the last link of the band is arranged at the level of the other upper lateral edge, such that so that it is possible to connect the last link of the band of a first box to the first link of the band of a second box.
  • a weapon 1 (whose barrel is here truncated and not completely visible) is pivotally mounted on journals with respect to a carriage 3 formed of a fork, itself pivoting around a vertical axis 4 relative to a base 5.
  • the axis 2 of the trunnions is shown in dashed lines in the figure.
  • the weapon 1 is not the object of the present invention and will not be described in detail. It is here equipped with an optronic viewfinder 6.
  • This weapon 1 is a medium caliber weapon (caliber less than or equal to 50 mm). It is fed by ammunition strips.
  • An ammunition strip includes links that each hold a munition, the links are hinged to each other. It is conventional to make ammunition of small or medium caliber solidarity links to facilitate the supply of the weapon. The latter then comprises a means of demaillonage (not shown) which allows to separate at the entrance of the weapon ammunition with the links.
  • the ammunition is arranged in two boxes 7a and 7b arranged side by side and integral with a side wall 8 of the carriage 3.
  • Each box contains a strip 11a or 11b of ammunition 9 (see Figure 3a).
  • FIG. 1 shows ammunition 9 integral with links and coming out of the box 7b.
  • Figure 3a shows a weapon for which the two ammunition cases 7a and 7b are packed.
  • Figure 6 is an enlargement of Figure 3a showing the upper part of the boxes 7a and 7b.
  • the munitions 9 are disposed in the box 7b so that the first link Ma of the strip 11b (as well as the first ammunition 9a) are placed at a level first upper lateral edge 12 of the box 7b.
  • the same type of arrangement of the ammunition strip is provided in the box 7a.
  • FIG. 7 shows that the strip 11b of ammunition is zigzagged to the bottom of the box 7b, while the last link Mb (as well as the last ammunition 9b) of the strip 11b are arranged at the level of the other upper side edge 13.
  • the band 11b thus has a vertical part Bv which connects the bottom of the box 7b and the flange 13.
  • a hook 24 allows the maintenance of this vertical part Bv during filling of the box.
  • the feed device according to the invention also comprises an insertion corridor 10 which is pivotally mounted with respect to an axis substantially perpendicular to the lateral wall, which axis coincides with the axis 2 of the journals of the weapon 1.
  • the introduction corridor 10 thus comprises a lower opening 10a (FIG. 2) which is disposed above the boxes 7a and 7b and substantially at the level of a vertical plane separating the two boxes.
  • the introduction corridor 10 is thus substantially equidistant from each ammunition box 7a, 7b and it is possible to supply the weapon indifferently from one or other of the boxes 7a, 7b. Due to this positioning of the corridor 10 substantially at the vertical plane separating the boxes, the forces exerted on the ammunition strips are equivalent regardless of the box that provides the supply. The passage from one box to another is therefore smooth and without the need to stop shooting.
  • the pivoting capacity of the passage 10 with respect to the axis 2 facilitates the guiding of the ammunition of a box towards the weapon and the coaxiality of the pivoting of the passage 10 with respect to the pivoting of the weapon on its trunnions makes it possible to ensure the supply of the weapon regardless of the orientation of it in site on its trunnions.
  • Figure 2 shows the weapon ammunition cases removed.
  • the side wall 8 of the carriage 3 carries two horizontal bars 15a and 15b for receiving the boxes 7a, 7b.
  • the upper bar 15a is fixed while the lower bar 15b can move relative to the wall 8 by means of a locking means 18 comprising an eccentric actuated by a crank 19 (there are in fact two cranks 19, one on each side of the wall 8).
  • Figure 4 shows more precisely the attachment mode of the boxes 7a, 7b on the bars 15a, 15b and the locking means 18 ensuring the locking of the boxes on the bars.
  • each box 7a or 7b has at a rear face 16a, 16b hooks 17 and 17 '.
  • Each box thus has two upper hooks 17 capping the upper bar 15a and two lower hooks 17 'which are open upwards and are therefore positioned below the lower bar 15b.
  • These hooks 17 ' are intended to allow the locking of the boxes.
  • the profiles of the hooks are chosen so as to surround the bars about 180 °.
  • the crank 19 allows to manually control a pivoting of the lower bar 15b.
  • the lower bar 15b is pivotally mounted relative to an axis 21 integral with the wall 8.
  • the bar 15b is mounted eccentrically with respect to the axis 21.
  • the pivoting of the bar 15b with respect to the axis 21 is controlled by the crank 19.
  • the device is shown in the locked position in FIG. 5a. Pivoting in the DV direction will move the device to its unlocked position shown in Figure 5b. The reverse pivoting (arrow V) moves it from the unlocked position of Figure 5b to that of Figure 5a.
  • each box 7a, 7b can also slide by relative to the wall 8, on the bars 15a, 15b, to indifferently occupy one or the other position of each box.
  • Figure 3a shows the weapon 1 in an initial position in which it is equipped with two ammunition crates 7a and 7b loaded. As seen previously with reference to FIG. 6, it can be seen that the ammunition strip 11a of the box 7a is connected to the ammunition strip 11b of the box 7b.
  • Figure 3b shows the weapon after withdrawal of the box 7a.
  • the ammunition is taken from the box 7b.
  • the locking means being released, it is then possible to slide the box 7b on the bar 15a in the direction D to move the box 7b from its initial position to a final position which was the one previously occupied by the box 7a.
  • the weapon is then found in a configuration identical to that shown in Figure 3a: two ammunition boxes side by side each containing a strip of ammunition.
  • the two strips being integral and forming only one continuous strip of ammunition 9 distributed between the two boxes.
  • the two boxes are locked using the blocking means 18.
  • the invention is implemented here with a medium-caliber weapon (caliber between 20 mm and 50 mm). It could of course be implemented with small arms.
