Abstract
838,047. Loading mechanism for firearms. BOFORS A. B. June 2, 1958 [June 14, 1957], No. 17526/58. Class 92 An automatic firearm has a magazine with compartments from which rounds are fed by pawls 5 on vertically reciprocating frames 6 connected with a driving mechanism so that only frames which are above unoccupied sections of a feed-table execute the vertical feeding movement. Halves 1 and 2 of the magazine are arranged on either side of a gun barrel 3 (Fig. 1, not shown), and elevate with it. The frames 6 run on rollers on guide ribs 8 that. are fitted with stationary pawls to prevent the rounds from moving upwards in the magazine compartments. The frames are moved up and down by cranks mounted on two transverse half-shafts oscillated through bevel gearing 28-29-30 by crank mechanism 25-26 operated from a bar 9. Dampers of known kind are interposed between the first mentioned cranks and the half-shafts to control speed of operation. The feed table comprises round-carrying members 10 and 11 fitted with spring- actuated pawls 12 and mounted on the bar 9. The bar carries a member 24 which bears on levers 18 and 19 which are connected to springs 16 and 17 that provide the force to move the bar 9 from side to side to oscillate the feed table so as to feed the rounds to a central rammer 14. A tongue 4 recoiling with the gun engages a roller on each of the levers 18 and 19 alternately to cock the corresponding spring at the same time releasing (by trip-means not shown) whichever of a pair of spring latches 22 and 23 is holding the other spring in its cocked position.
