Abstract

An ammunition (projectile, round) feeding device for an armoured howitzer having a turret (T) which is arranged on a vehicle in the region behind the vehicle centre, can rotate and on which a heavy weapon (25) is arranged such that it can pivot in elevation. An ammunition magazine (23) is arranged in the turret rear (H), and a loading/unloading opening (B), which is accessible from the rear, is arranged in the vehicle rear (H). A guide (2.1) which runs in the transverse direction and on which a carriage (2) is displaceably guided is mounted on the roof plate (D) of the turret (T), between the weapon (25) and the ammunition magazine (23). A downwardly extending supporting arm (1) is attached to the carriage (2), on which supporting arm (1) a loading cradle holder (9) is movably guided, which is fitted with a loading cradle (22). The arrangement is such that the loading cradle (22) can be moved into a position aligned with the barrel boresight (bore axis) of the weapon when the weapon (25) is in at least one elevation position, and into positions in which the rear end of the loading cradle (22) is located immediately in front of the ammunition magazine (23) as well as into a position in which the rear end of the loading cradle (22) is directly adjacent to the front end of a roller track (24) which is arranged in the region of the loading/unloading opening (B). <IMAGE>
