Definitions

  • the invention relates to a segmented sabot according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a sabot of the aforementioned type is known from DE-PS 22 36 142. It has the air pocket in the front support and a rear edge in the vicinity of the second support, around which the segments are detached from the balancing projectile. In the event of shelling, an uneven detachment of the sabot segments from the balancing projectile was found. This can lead to a harmful swinging of the balancing bullet. Due to the oscillation of the balancing bullet, both its accuracy and its penetration performance can be significantly affected. The latter primarily relates to the effect against new types of targets, which require both particularly long balancing bullets and the greatest possible freedom of oscillation. Investigations into the behavior of the balancing projectile-sabot arrangement showed that unstable flow conditions can occur in the area around the front part of the balancing projectile, which impair the uniform segment-wise detachment of the sabot.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a sabot of the type mentioned, the segment-wise detachment behavior is not affected by the pressure fluctuations mentioned and is thus improved.
  • a first sabot 1 with a front support 2 and a rear support 3 has three segments 4, 5 and. 6, which touch each other in pairs in butt joints 7, 8 and 9.
  • the front support 2 consists of webs 10, 11 and 12, which are separated from one another by spaces 13.1, 13.2 and 13.3.
  • the webs 10, 11 and 12 are each delimited on the front by a curved surface 14 and on the rear by a curved surface 15 and inclined in the direction of an arrow S indicating the direction of the weft against a central longitudinal axis 20 and have a narrow front end surface 16 and an outside support surface 29 on.
  • a circular-cylindrical central receptacle 18 for a balancing projectile extends along the longitudinal axis 20 from a rear edge 17 to a front edge 28 of the sabot 1.
  • the receptacle 18 has positive locking means 19 on the circumference for corresponding positive locking means on the balancing projectile.
  • the rear support 3 surrounds the longitudinal axis 20 with a closed circular cylindrical peripheral surface 30 and has a receptacle 32 in the peripheral region for a sealing tape (not shown).
  • the rear support 3 is formed on the front as an air pocket delimited by an edge 35 with a base area 36 and is delimited on the back by a gas pressure receiving area 31 which has a respective groove 34 in the area of the butt joints 7, 8 and 9 for receiving a sealing element (not shown).
  • the sabot 1 surrounds the balancing projectile in a form-fitting manner, the mouth of a weapon barrel in the direction of arrow S, the incoming air can pass through the spaces 13.1, 13.2 and 13.3 into the air pocket 33 and thus initiates the detaching process of the segments 4, 5 and 6 from the balancing projectile .
  • a lever arm 37 extending from the rear edge 17 (as a rolling edge opposite the balancing projectile) to the base 36 of the air pocket 33 is comparatively short and the detachment process of the segments 4, 5 and 6 is due to the large distance from the missile tip is not affected by the pressure fluctuations in the front area.
  • the comparatively small mass of the respective segments 4, 5 and 6 also results in a significantly reduced impact on the balancing projectile, which is advantageously excited to oscillate considerably less.
  • the webs In a second sabot according to FIG. 3, the webs, of which only one web 40 is shown, are bounded on the front by a comparatively wider surface 42, which consequently offers greater resistance to the incoming air.
  • the webs are made of low density plastic.
  • a main part of a light metal alloy not designated in any more detail, has an outer surface 23 formed from paragraphs 23.1 to 23.5 with dovetail grooves 25.1 and 25.2.
  • the web 40 is made of plastic and is inserted into the dovetail grooves 24.1 and 24.2.
  • a region with the weakest cross section is designed as a predetermined breaking point 25.
  • the webs 40 flow against the air in the area of the surface 42 and break off at 25.
  • the further detaching process takes place essentially as described in connection with the first embodiment.
  • the segments can also be detached from the balancing projectile starting from the back or also essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the projectile.
