Definitions
- the innovation relates to a propellant charge container according to the preamble of protection claim 1.
- Propellant containers are used to hold the propellant powder and are used in particular in artillery weapons, in which the projectile and propellant charge are loaded into the barrel separately.
- the innovation is based on the object of specifying a novel propellant charge container which on the one hand simplifies the charging process and which is also particularly advantageous to labor.
- This object is achieved by the invention specified in protection claim 1.
- Advantageous embodiments of the invention emerge from the subclaims.
- the innovative propellant charge container enables considerable savings in logistics, since an additional container for transport purposes can be saved.
- the special design of the propellant charge container also opens up the possibility of automating the loading process, as a result of which the firing sequence can be increased.
- the new propellant charge container enables savings in laboratory work, since filling and closing the propellant charge container does not require complex work steps or special tools.
- the propellant charge container 10 is essentially of circular cylindrical shape and consists of several, in particular two, parts 11, 12 which are arranged such that they can be rotated relative to one another.
- the propellant charge container consists of two hollow cylinders which are closed on one side and have a slightly different outer diameter, which are pushed over one another with their open end faces and, after being pushed together, for example by one or more circular beads are secured in this position.
- a recess 13, 13 ' is arranged in each of the propellant charge container parts.
- These recesses 13, 13 ' which have a circular shape, for example, can be shifted at will by rotating the propellant container parts in the circumferential direction so that they are either aligned one above the other and thereby form a filling opening for the propellant powder to be introduced, or that they are not in alignment with one another and so the openings close. Apart from a twisting of the propellant container parts, no further operation is required to close the propellant container. This also simplifies and reduces labor costs.
- the propellant charge container 10 is preferably made of a combustible material which is known per se from cartridge ammunition with combustible casings.
- a bead 14 is arranged both in the bottom and in the lid of the propellant charge container 10, which allows play-free radial and axial fixing of firing charges during the charging process.
- a second cover 22 which also has an opening 21 and is rotatable in the circumferential direction, is placed on a propellant charge container 10 which is essentially closed on all sides and has only one opening 20 on the cover side.
- the propellant charge containers 10 are particularly well suited to automate the loading process, which increases the performance of the weapon, i. H. can achieve a higher cadence.
Abstract
Die Neuerung betrifft einen Treibladungsbehälter zur Aufnahme losen Treibladungspulvers. Der Treibladungsbehälter 10 besteht aus mindestens zwei getrennten, zusammengesteckten Teilen 11, 12, die relativ zueinander in Umfangsrichtung verdrehbar sind. Der Treibladungsbehälter 10 hat eine im wesentlichen zylinderförmige Gestalt. Die Teile 11, 12 sind so miteinander verbunden, daß sich ihre Mantelbereiche zumindest zum Teil überlappen. Im Überlappungsbereich ist in jedem Teil 11, 12 eine Ausnehmung 13, 13' angeordnet, die - je nach Lage der relativ zueinander verdrehbaren Teile 11, 12 - eine Einfüllöffnung bilden oder verschlossen sind. In beiden Stirnflächen des Treibladungsbehälters 10 ist je eine Sicke 14 angeordnet, um eine Anfeuerungsladung in Radial- und Axialrichtung festzulegen. Dieser neuartige Treibladungsbehälter ermöglicht eine preisgünstige Laborierung und beschleunigt den Ladevorgang.The innovation concerns a propellant charge container for holding loose propellant powder. The propellant charge container 10 consists of at least two separate, plugged-together parts 11, 12 which can be rotated in the circumferential direction relative to one another. The propellant charge container 10 has a substantially cylindrical shape. The parts 11, 12 are connected to one another in such a way that their jacket regions overlap at least in part. In the overlap area, a recess 13, 13 'is arranged in each part 11, 12, which - depending on the position of the parts 11, 12 which can be rotated relative to one another - form a filling opening or are closed. A bead 14 is arranged in each of the two end faces of the propellant charge container 10 in order to fix a firing charge in the radial and axial directions. This innovative propellant charge container enables inexpensive laboratory work and accelerates the charging process.
Description
Die Neuerung betrifft einen Treibladungsbehälter nach dem Oberbegriff des Schutzanspruchs 1.The innovation relates to a propellant charge container according to the preamble of protection claim 1.
Treibladungsbehälter dienen zur Aufnahme des Treibladungspulvers und werden insbesondere bei Artilleriewaffen eingesetzt, bei denen Geschoß und Treibladung getrennt voneinander in das Waffenrohr geladen werden.Propellant containers are used to hold the propellant powder and are used in particular in artillery weapons, in which the projectile and propellant charge are loaded into the barrel separately.
Herkömmliche Treibladungsbehälter, die beispielsweise aus dem Waffentechnischen Taschenbuch der Firma Rheinmetall, 5. Auflage 1980, Seite 516, bekannt sind, dienten allenfalls zum Transport von in verschiedene Ladungen portioniertem Treibladungspulver, das vor dem Ladevorgang dem Transportbehälter entnommen werden muß.Conventional propellant charge containers, which are known, for example, from the Rheinmetall weapons technical paperback, 5th edition 1980, page 516, were used at most for the transport of propellant powder portioned into different loads, which must be removed from the transport container before the loading process.
Der Neuerung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen neuartigen Treibladungsbehälter anzugeben, der einerseits den Ladevorgang vereinfacht und der darüber hinaus besonders vorteilhaft zu laborieren ist. Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Schutzanspruch 1 angegebene Erfindung gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung gehen aus den Unteransprüchen hervor. Der neuartige Treibladungsbehälter ermöglicht erhebliche Einsparungen in der Logistik, da ein zusätzlicher Behälter für Transportzwecke eingespart werden kann. Die besondere Gestaltung des Treibladungsbehälters eröffnet darüber hinaus die Möglichkeit, den Ladevorgang zu automatisieren, wodurch die Schußfolge gesteigert werden kann. Schließlich ermöglicht der neuartige Treibladungsbehälter Einsparungen beim Laborieren, da Einfüllen und Verschließen des Treibladungsbehälters keine komplexen Arbeitsschritte oder Sonderwerkzeuge erfordern.The innovation is based on the object of specifying a novel propellant charge container which on the one hand simplifies the charging process and which is also particularly advantageous to labor. This object is achieved by the invention specified in protection claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention emerge from the subclaims. The innovative propellant charge container enables considerable savings in logistics, since an additional container for transport purposes can be saved. The special design of the propellant charge container also opens up the possibility of automating the loading process, as a result of which the firing sequence can be increased. Finally, the new propellant charge container enables savings in laboratory work, since filling and closing the propellant charge container does not require complex work steps or special tools.
Die Neuerung wird nachfolgend unter Bezug auf die Zeichnung näher erläutert. Dabei zeigt:
- Fig. 1: in perspektivischer Darstellung ein erstes Ausführungsbeispiel des neuartigen Treibladungsbehälters;
- Fig. 2: ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel des Treibladungsbehälters.
- Fig. 1: a perspective view of a first embodiment of the novel propellant charge container;
- Fig. 2: another embodiment of the propellant charge container.
Der Treibladungsbehälter 10 ist im wesentlichen von kreiszylinderförmiger Gestalt und besteht aus mehreren, insbesondere aus zwei Teilen 11, 12, die zueinander verdrehbar angeordnet sind. In einem besonders varteilhaften Ausführungsbeispiel besteht der Treibladungsbehälter aus zwei einseitig geschlossenen Hohlzylindern mit geringfügig unterschiedlichem äußeren Durchmesser, die mit ihren offenen Stirnflächen übereinandergeschoben sind und nach dem Zusammenschieben beispielsweise durch eine oder mehrere ringförmig umlaufende Sicken in dieser Position gesichert werden. Im Bereich der sich überlappenden Zylindermantelflächen ist in jedem der Treibladungsbehälterteile eine Ausnehmung 13, 13' angeordnet. Diese Ausnehmungen 13, 13', die beispielsweise Kreisform haben, können nach Belieben durch Verdrehen der Treibladungsbehälterteile in Umfangsrichtung so verschoben werden, daß sie entweder fluchtend übereinanderstehen und dadurch eine Einfüllöffnung für das einzubringende Treibladungspulver bilden, oder daß sie nicht miteinander fluchten und so die Öffnungen verschließen. Außer einer Verdrehung der Treibladungsbehälterteile ist also kein weiterer Arbeitsgang zum Verschließen des Treibladungsbehälters notwendig. Auch dadurch wird die Laborierung vereinfacht und verbilligt.The
Der Treibladungsbehälter 10 besteht vorzugsweise aus einem verbrennbaren Material, das an sich schon von patronierter Munition mit verbrennbaren Hülsen her bekannt ist.The
Sowohl im Boden als auch im Deckel des Treibladungsbehälters 10 ist je eine Sicke 14 angeordnet, die beim Ladevorgang eine spielfreie radiale und axiale Festlegung von Anfeuerungsladungen ermöglicht.A
In einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung (Fig. 2) ist auf einen im wesentlichen allseitig geschlossenen Treibladungsbehälter 10, der nur deckelseitig eine Öffnung 20 aufweist, ein zweiter, ebenfalls eine Öffnung 21 enthaltender Deckel 22 aufgesetzt, der in Umfangsrichtung verdrehbar ist.In a further exemplary embodiment of the invention (FIG. 2), a
Durch einfaches Verdrehen werden die Öffnungen 20, 21 zur Deckung gebracht, um den Treibladungsbehälter 10 füllen zu können oder gegeneinander verdreht, um die Einzelöffnung zu schließen.By simply twisting the
Aufgrund ihres kompakten Aufbaus und identischer äußerer Abmessungen sind die Treibladungsbehälter 10 besonders gut geeignet, um den Ladevorgang zu automatisieren, wodurch sich eine Leistungssteigerung der Waffe, d. h. eine höhere Kadenz erzielen läßt.Due to their compact construction and identical external dimensions, the
