Abstract

Die Einrichtung zum raschen Stillsetzen einer fremdan­ getriebenen Maschinenkanone weist einen Steuerkolben 54 auf, der durch bei der Schußentwicklung entstehendes, aus einem Waffenrohr abgezapftes und durch einen Gaseintritt vor die Kreisringfläche 62 gelangendes Treibladungsgas in Richtung des Pfeils R₅ gegen die Rückstellkraft einer Druckfeder 52 aussteuerbar ist. Dabei gibt er einem Stopp-­ Anschlag 88 auf einer Stützfläche 90 einer Steuerwalze 54 seinen Weg frei, so daß sich bei weiterhin betätigter Ab­ feuereinrichtung ein weiterer Schußzyklus anschließen kann. Zum vorübergehenden Sichern des Steuerkolbens 54 in seiner auf den Stopp-Anschlag 88 bezogenen Freigabe­ stellung dient ein am Gehäuse 10 bei 96 auslenkbar ange­ ordneter Sperrhebel 95, welcher mit einem Auslenknocken 100 auf dem Umfang der Steuerwalze 84 zum Wiederfreige­ ben der Öffnung 94 korrespondiert, so daß der Steuerkolben 54 mit seinem freien Ende 58 nach dem Vorbeigang des Stopp-Anschlags 88 an der Öffnung 94 wieder mit der Stütz­ fläche 90 in Kontakt treten kann. Bei nicht innerhalb eines vorgegebenen Zeitraumes erfolgter Schußentwicklung (An­ zündverzögerung, -versager) wird der Steuerkolben 54 nicht mit seinem freien Ende 58 aus der Bewegungsbahn des Stopp-Anschlags 88 ausgesteuert; die Drehbewegung der Steuerwalze 84 wird abgeblockt, während der Ver­ schluß mit dem Waffenrohr verriegelt ist. The facility to quickly stop a stranger driven machine gun has a control piston 54 on, by the resulting from the development of the shot tapped from a gun barrel and through a gas inlet propellant gas reaching the annular surface 62 in the direction of arrow R₅ against the restoring force of one Compression spring 52 can be controlled. He gives a stop Stop 88 on a support surface 90 of a control roller 54 clear his way so that if Ab connect another firing cycle can. For temporarily securing the control piston 54 in its release related to the stop stop 88 position is used on the housing 10 at 96 deflectable arranged locking lever 95, which with a Auslenknocken 100 on the circumference of the control roller 84 for re-release ben corresponds to the opening 94, so that the control piston 54 with its free end 58 after the passage of the Stop stop 88 at opening 94 again with the support surface 90 can come into contact. If not within one predetermined period of weft development (An ignition delay, failure), the control piston 54 not with its free end 58 out of the movement path the stop stop 88 driven; the rotary motion the control roller 84 is blocked during the Ver locked with the gun barrel.
