2446Hb

is stigt. The rear end of the front housing includes a ring member 14, an inner ring 16, an outer ring 18 and an rear ring 2o forms. At the back of the housing Io is a Back plate 22 attached.

A rear, generally tubular, rotor 24 is supported by a front radial bearing 26 and a pair of rear thrust and thrust bearings. Axial bearings 28, which are held by a bearing retaining ring 3o, are rotatably mounted in the housing Io about the longitudinal axis of the rifle. A front one and generally tubular rotor 32 is supported by a pair of front thrust or thrust bearings 34 supported by retaining ring 36 and by a rear radial bearing 38 held by a retaining ring 4o, rotatably mounted about the longitudinal axis of the rifle in the housing Io.

Averbind.we He 42 can be rotated parallel to the rifle's longitudinal axis mounted on the housing Io through a front radial bearing 44 and a rear radial bearing 46. The shaft includes a front gear ring 4.8 which is connected to a gear ring 5o on the front rotor 32 meshes, and a rear ring gear 52 which meshes with a ring gear 54 on the rear rotor. The wave therefore couples the front and rear rotors for simultaneous rotation and, as will be described later, it drives Feed system and serves as a torsion spring self-starter.

In the housing Io there is a barrel or liner extension 6o, which is mounted for a back and forth movement via guides sliding in guideways 64 in the housing «The barrel extension is with a front bore 66 for receiving the gun barrel 68 and provided with a rear bore 7o for receiving a head 72 of the rifle bolt or lock 74. The rear end 76 of the gun barrel is secured in the front bore 66 by means of a number of interrupted threads 78. Alternatively, you can also Approaches or lugs and a stop or latch are used. The front end 8o of the gun barrel extends into the front Housing 12, and an annular spring stop 82 is attached to the front end of the gun barrel. A barrel retaining spring 84

509815/0930

extends around the front end of the gun barrel and is of this kept at a distance by means of a sleeve 86, which is located in the front housing 12 between the spring stop 82 and the inner ring 16 is located. On the front housing 12 is a ring 88 that is suitable for reciprocating movement, not depicted guideways stored or guided and by suitable Buffer springs 9o in front of and behind the ring is held between the outer ring 18 and one on the front housing in front attached locking ring 91 are clamped.

The front rotor 32 has two diametrically opposed curves or Cam rollers 92 and 94, which are correspondingly in two overlapping spiral cam tracks 96 and 9 8 in the barrel extension Move 6o. An annular cam track loo overlaps the two spiral tracks.

The rifle bolt or rifle lock 74 contains a rifle lock head 72 and a substantially tubular body Io2 which ends in a rear guide disk Io4. This slides in the bore Io6 of the rear rotor 24. The tubular body has a pair of sliding jaws Io7, which slide in the guides 64, and a transverse web Io8 separating a front bore 112 from a rear bore 114 with a longitudinal bore Ho. The head 72 has a front part 116 with a number of radially protruding blocking lugs 118, a bolt or lock face 12o and a pair of diametrically spaced apart holder or slide lugs 122. Furthermore, the head 72 has a rear part arranged in the bore 112 124 with a rear longitudinal bore 126, a front stepped longitudinal bore 128 and a transverse slot 13o. In the bore is a disk 132 with a shaft or stem 134 which engages through the bore Ho in the bore 126 of the head. A pin 136 is passed through transverse bores in the shaft and body and through a slot in the head to connect these parts together while allowing some relative rotation of the head with respect to the body. In the bore 128 there is a firing pin 138 with a transverse actuating device connected to it.

low movement 14ο arranged through the slot 13o and a Slot 142 in the body 114 is guided to the outside. A firing pin coil spring 144 is located in the bore 126 and is between the shaft 134 and the firing pin 138 clamped. A quasi-spiral cam track 146 is on the outer rear Surface of the body Io2 is formed.

A quasi-spiral cam track 148 is located on the outer surface pool of rear rotor 24 for its rear and front dwell areas. This cam track is through a side wall 15o of a rib 152 and a side wall 151 arranged on the rotor and, in the remaining area, by a rear side wall 153 and a side wall 154 of an insert 156 is formed, which is connected to the inner wall of the housing. In the wall of the rear rotor is a longitudinal slot with longitudinal guide tracks I6o. There is a slider in the slot 162, the rails 164 of which are guided by the guideways. The slider 162 has a rear cam follower roller 166, which with the rear rotor cam track 148 is engaged and a front cam roller 168 which engages with the rifle lock cam track 146 intervenes.

There is a recess in the outer surface of the rear rotor or indentation 17o with a shoulder 172. A magnetic coil 174 is attached to the housing and has an armature 176.auf, the is coupled by a slot to a driver or pawl 178 which is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the housing and is biased against the rotor by a compression spring I8o will. The pawl can be designed as a toggle lever or toggle lever in order to generate the required force developed by the magnetic coil to reduce.

The gun barrel 68 includes a fluted bore 182 and the chamber 184. The extension of the barrel has a cavity 186 which is used to receive the front part 116 of the bolt or rifle lock head is suitable, and it contains a number of grooves for the passage of the blocking lugs 118. A rod 19o is with

509815/0 9 30

2446H5

its rear end fixed to the back plate 22 and surrounded by a spiral-shaped lock return spring 192, which is also is located in the bore 114 of the rifle lock and is clamped between the back plate 22 and the disc 132. In the unlocked In the battery position of the lock head, the firing pin actuation arm is located on the rear side 194 of a trigger member and inwardly directed projection 196 of the housing, and the firing pin spring is compressed. When the lock head is fully rotated to its blocked position, the actuator arm gives that Trigger link free, and the firing pin is biased forward by the spring. The rifle lock also has a

from the pair of sliders Io7 extending / body Io2 and in slide along the tracks 64 and includes an actuator arm extending transversely from the forward portion 116 of the lock head 2oo. This has a cam following surface 2o2, which in the unlocked Battery position according to Figure 3 is influenced by a counterclockwise rotated cam 2o4, which is fixed is attached to a shaft 2o6 and rotates once per rifle cycle at a non-uniform speed, about the arm 2oo clockwise to swing into the blocking position. The arm 2oo has an additional cam follower surface 2o8 that locked in the Battery position and when moving back in the return influenced by a ramp surface 21o on a projection attached to the housing is to pivot the arm 2oo counterclockwise into an unlocking mechanism.

The cam tracks 96/98, 146 and 148 do not have uniform pitch angles. About the possibility of a cam roller blocking and a cam track rather than preventing guiding, the pitch angle of the cam track should be less than 51 ° and preferably be kept below 45 °. If the diameter of the rear rotor is large enough, the pitch angle of the path 146 for example ο, which corresponds to a simple ring. In the case of a rear rotor with a small diameter, however, the Keeping the pitch angle of track 148 low provides track 146 with a substantial pitch angle. The effective angle of incline the combination of tracks 146 and 148 must then be included in

509815/0930

2AA6H5

with reference to the tracks 96/98 should be considered or »taken into account. During the initial part of the retraction movement of the barrel extension until after the rifle lock has been unlocked through the ramp surface 21o, the effective angle of inclination of the combination must of tracks 146 and 148 be identical to the pitch angle of track 96/98. After unlocking the rifle lock, the effective The angle of inclination of the combination of tracks 146 and 14 8 made comparatively larger than the angle of inclination of track 96/98, for a backward movement of the rifle lock that is faster than the backward movement of the barrel extension, which corresponds to an acceleration of the rifle lock relative to the barrel extension.

The rifle mechanism described so far operates in the following Way: In the battery position of the rifle, a projectile Rl according to Figure 1 is blocked in the chamber, and the magnetic coil 174 is excited. When the cam 204 drives the bolt head to its fully locked position, the firing pin actuator arm slides I4o from the trigger surface 194, and the spring 144 leads to a propulsion of the firing pin 138 to fire or ignite the projectile. The explosion causes the barrel 68 and barrel extension 6o to retreat with the rifle lock blocked thereby or bolts 74, the rifle lock 74 moves backwards moved, the cam surface slides 2ο8 on the ramp surface 21o while unlocking the lock head. As the barrel extension moves back, the cam tracks 96 and 98 drive the cam rollers 92 and 94 for rotating the front rotor 32 and its ring gear 5o. The latter drives the ring gear 48 of the connecting shaft on, through which the shaft gear 52 and thereby the Gear ring 54 and the rear rotor 24 are rotated. When rotating the rear rotor together with the slide 162 drives the stationary cam track 148 the cam follower roller 166 and thereby the slide 162 and the cam drive roller 168 to the rear. The role 168 drives the rifle lock cam track 146 together with the rifle lock or bolt to the rear. The slide 162 accelerates the Backward movement of the rifle lock with respect to the barrel extension, which is shown in FIG. When moving the

509 815/0330

Barrel and rifle lock, they press the barrel return spring accordingly 84 and the rifle lock return spring 192 together. The barrel return spring brings the barrel into the battery position in front of I8o return. The fired cartridge housing is ejected from the side. When a new projectile is to be fired, it is turned when it is turned of the rotors through the rear dwell zone of the rifle lock, which is spread at 18o, and during the lateral ejection of an ignited cartridge case, a fresh cartridge is inserted from the side. The rifle lock return spring 192 drives the lock or the bolt with the fresh cartridge forward to release the lock resp. Insert bolt head 72 into the rear bore 7o and accommodate the cartridge. The arm I4o pressing the firing pin hits the Surface 194. The shaft 2o6 rotates to rotate the cam 2o4, pivot the arm 2oo and the lock head into the lock to turn.

If another or another projectile is to be fired, is the solenoid 174 de-energizes so that the spring I8o the pawl 178 biased to capture the shoulder 172 to stop the rotation of the rear rotor. The front rotor that comes with is coupled to the rear rotor via the connecting shaft 42, puts its rotation under braking according to its inertia and the torsional strength of the connecting shaft 42 with the barrel extension in the battery position. The wedge angle of the cam tracks 96 and 98 is such that a backward movement of the rollers 92 and 94 and a Reverse rotation of the front rotor can be prevented. The system is therefore in a charged state under torsional loading of the Liaison shaft held. A subsequent excitation of the magnetic coil 174 leads to a turning back or untwisting of the connecting shaft, which accelerates the rear rotor so that the rifle lock return spring moves the bolt or lock into the chamber can drive and block.

To initially load the rifle, the front rotor is rotated by an external drive source while rollers 92 and 94 hike loo in the ring-shaped cam track. The feeder or

Bringer leads an ammunition projectile between the cartridge holder attachments of the lock or bolt while the rifle lock remains behind and pushes the previously ignited cartridge the end. The feeder is driven by the connecting shaft 42, which in turn is driven by the front rotor 32.

The connecting shaft 42 has a first intermediate gear 2ol and a second intermediate gear or sun gear 2o2. This combs with a pair of planetary gears 2o4, which are correspondingly mounted on a rotor body 2o6, and with a stationary one Comb ring gear 2o8. The rotor body 2o6 has an annular sun gear 21o which meshes with a pair of planetary gears 212, which are correspondingly mounted on a rotor body 214 and mesh with the stationary ring gear 2o8. This planetary system results in a reduction ratio of 16: 1. The runner body 214 is formed in one piece with a tubular shaft 216 which runs coaxially with the connecting shaft 42. With the shaft 216 are a front stripping gear 218 and a rear stripping gear 22o firmly connected. These scraper gears capture the leading Projectile R2 in a row of articulated or chained ammunition parts and pull the row over a link positioner 222, front outer link guides 224 and 224A, rear outer link guides 226 and 226A, and also via a front one Wiper guide 228 and a rear wiper guide 23o to to draw and advance every link of the corresponding ammunition projectiles. The scraper gears each have four tips or teeth and rotate at a substantially uniform speed that is one-fourth the rate of the gun.

The gear 2ol meshes with a reduction gear 232, which is non-rotatable is connected to an elliptical gear 234 which meshes with an elliptical gear 236. The latter is with one Intermediate gear 238 rotatably connected which meshes with a gear 24o which is fixedly attached to the injector shaft 2o6. This therefore rotates at a sinusoidal speed once per rifle cycle. The shaft 2o6 carries the cam 2o4 what has already been mentioned. Furthermore, with it are a front injector

- 11 -

50981 5/0930

- 11 gear wheel 242 and a rear injector gear wheel 244 firmly connected.

The gear 2ol also meshes with an intermediate gear 246, the engages in a gear 248, which rotatably with an elliptical Gear 25o is connected. This meshes with an elliptical gear 252, which is connected to a gear 254 in a rotationally fixed manner is, which in turn starts with a. Gear 256 meshes, which is firmly connected to an ejector or ejector shaft 258. At this are each a front and rear deceleration ejector gear 26o and 262 attached.

During operation, the scraper gears turn counterclockwise at a substantially uniform speed to drive the ammunition link row at a substantially uniform speed pulling into the feeder and pulling through and ejecting the leading link. The stripped bullet is from the inner surfaces of the Stripping guides 228 and 23o, as well as continuations of these links. The AbstreifZahnwheels bring the projectile into the Cups or depressions of the now largely lingering injector gears 242 and 244, and the projectile is there by the remote ends of the now largely dwell retarder ejector gears 26o and 262 held until the rifle lock or the rifle bolt arrives at the rear dwell zone, turn the retarder ejector gears counterclockwise to move the ignited cartridge housing laterally over the lock or bolt surface from the cartridge holder lugs 122 and along ejector guides 264 and 266. At the same time, the injector gears turn clockwise to the new floor along the port positions the injector guide up to and above the lock or bolt surface and advance into cartridge holder lugs 122, then rotate one full cycle and the next hand or to free the next arm of the scraper gears. That The projectile is prevented from tilting on the lock or bolt surface by the rear edge of the retarder ejector gear. When the lock or the bolt comes forward, they turn Gears further out of the way and over a full cycle to get the subsequently passed projectile into the injector gears keep. - 12 -
