Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Behälter für gegurtete Munition, der einen Boden und äußere Wände aufweist, wobei die gegurtete Munition auf dem Boden stehend gelagert ist und eine äußere Wand eine vertikal gerichtete Austrittsöffnung für die gegurtete Munition aufweist.The invention relates to a container for strapped ammunition, which has a bottom and outer walls, with the strapped ammunition standing on the ground is mounted and an outer wall is a vertically directed outlet opening for the having strapped ammunition.

Ein derartiger Behälter ist in der DE-A-19 34 144 beschrieben. Dabei handelt es sich um einen Patronengurtkasten für Maschinengewehre, bei dem der Patronengurt lose in den Kasten eingelegt wird. Solche Gurtkästen mögen für Maschinengewehrmunition geeignet sein, nicht aber für Munition größeren Kalibers wie z.B. für Maschinenkanonen. Ein Kasten mit 200 Schuß Maschinengewehrmunition wiegt etwa 8 kg, eine Patrone einer Maschinenkanone größeren Kalibers, z.B. 30 mm, etwa 1 kg.Such a container is described in DE-A-19 34 144. It is about a cartridge belt case for machine guns, in which the cartridge belt loose in the box is inserted. Such belt boxes like for machine gun ammunition be suitable, but not for larger caliber ammunition such as For Machine guns. A box of 200 round machine gun ammunition weighs about 8 kg, a cartridge of a larger caliber machine gun, e.g. 30 mm, about 1 kg.

In der US-A-2,470,475 ist ein ebenfalls für Maschinengewehrmunition bestimmter Munitionsbehälter beschrieben, in dem die gegurtete Munition auf Vorsprüngen liegend in Schleifen gelagert ist, wobei die Vorsprünge mit Klappen versehen sind, die beim Ausziehen des Munitionsgurtes hochklappen. Auch ein solcher Behälter ist für Munition mit größerem Kaliber nicht geeignet.In US-A-2,470,475 is a likewise for machine-gun ammunition certain Ammunition container described in which the strapped ammunition lying on protrusions is mounted in loops, wherein the projections are provided with flaps, the Fold out the ammunition belt. Also, such a container is for Ammunition with larger caliber not suitable.

Ein für Munition größeren Kalibers bestimmter Behälter ist aus der DE-A-31 16 073 bekannt. Bei diesem jedoch hängen die Schleifen zwischen Trennwänden und der Behälter muß zur Ermöglichung des Ausziehens in dem Maße, in dem einzelne Schleifen ausgezogen sind, verfahren werden. Das erfordert einen zusätzlichen Antrieb und eigene Synchronisierungs- und Steuervorrichtungen für diesen Antrieb. Zudem erfordert die hängende Anordnung beim Ausziehen erhebliche und stark variierende Kräfte.A particular container for ammunition of larger caliber is known from DE-A-31 16 073 known. In this case, however, hang the loops between partitions and the Container must be capable of extracting to the extent that individual Loops are pulled out, be moved. This requires an additional drive and own synchronization and control devices for this drive. moreover requires the hanging arrangement when undressing significant and widely varying Forces.

Weiters ist aus der US-A-2,710,561 ein Behälter bekannt, in dem die Schleifen zwischen Trennwänden hängen, der aber nicht verfahrbar ist. Dieser benötigt Klinken, um ein Zurückfallen der die Schleifen bildenden Munition durch ihr Eigengewicht zu verhindern. Furthermore, from US-A-2,710,561 a container is known in which the loops hang between partitions, but which is not movable. This needs pawls, to a falling back of the loops forming ammunition by their own weight prevent.

Es ist Ziel der Erfindung einen gattungsgemäßen Behälter auszubilden, der für gegurtete Munition größerer Kaliber geeignet ist. Derartige Behälter werden für Maschinenkanonen eingesetzt, vorwiegend, aber nicht ausschließlich, in Gefechtsfahrzeugen. Bei diesen kommt es darauf an, möglichst viel Munition so platzsparend wie möglich unterzubringen und leichtes Ausziehen des Gurtes aus dem Behälter zu ermöglichen. Dazu besitzt erfindungsgemäß der Behalter Zwischenwande, die sich quer zu den äußeren Wänden erstrecken und zwischen denen die gegurtete Munition Schleifen bildet.It is an object of the invention to form a generic container for strapped Ammunition of larger caliber is suitable. Such containers are for Used machine guns, mainly, but not exclusively, in Combat vehicles. With these it is important to have as much ammunition as possible to save space as possible and easy removal of the belt from the To enable containers. According to the invention, the container has intermediate walls, which extend transversely to the outer walls and between which the strapped Ammunition forms loops.

Dadurch sind die Ausziehkräfte wesentlich kleiner und gleichmäßiger, was in Versuchen nachgewiesen werden konnte. Diese geringen Ausziehkräfte erlauben es, den Gurt trotz des feststehenden Behälters an einer ortsfesten Öffnung mit geringen Kräften auszuziehen, obwohl die gegurtete Munition dabei an den exponierten, die anderen Schleifen bildenden Patronen vorbeigezogen werden muß. As a result, the extraction forces are much smaller and more uniform, which in Trials could be proven. These low extraction forces allow the Belt despite the fixed container at a fixed opening with low forces Although the strapped ammunition exposed to the others, the others Loop forming cartridges must be pulled past.

In einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform weist der Boden einen Kunststoffbelag geringen Reibwertes auf (Anspruch 2). Dieser verringert die zum Ausziehen erforderliche Kraft weiter. Dadurch kann in vielen Fällen auf ein Sternrad verzichtet werden, der Lademechanismus der Waffe kann die so verringerte Reibung überwinden.In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the floor has a plastic covering low coefficient of friction (claim 2). This reduces the required for undressing Power on. This can be dispensed with in many cases on a star wheel, the loading mechanism of the weapon can overcome the thus reduced friction.

In einer anderen Ausführungsform ist zwar an der Austrittsöffnung ein Sternrad zum Ausziehen der gegurteten Munition vorgesehen, jedoch kann dieses und sein Antrieb wegen der geringen Kräfte sehr leicht ausgebildet werden. Zur Erleichterung des Ladens wird mit Vorteil ein abnehmbarer Deckel vorgesehen (Anspruch 3).In another embodiment, although at the outlet opening a star wheel to Extracting the strapped ammunition provided, however, this and his drive be made very easy because of the low forces. To facilitate the shop is provided with advantage a removable cover (claim 3).

Die Richtung der Zwischenwände kann den räumlichen Gegebenheiten und der Anordnung im Fahrzeug angepasst werden. Wenn die Zwischenwände parallel zu den Seitenwänden angeordnet sind (Anspruch 4), sind die Ausziehkräfte bei vollem Behälter, somit bei Feuerbeginn, am geringsten.The direction of the partitions can be the spatial conditions and the arrangement be adapted in the vehicle. If the partitions parallel to the side walls are arranged (claim 4), the extraction forces are at full container, thus at the beginning of the fire, the lowest.

Bei Einsatz in Gefechtsfahrzeugen besteht bei starker Neigung die Gefahr, daß sich einzelne Trume verschieben. Das wird verhindert, indem die Zwischenwände an einer Seite horizontale Führungen mit halbrunden Ausnehmungen und gerundeten Übergängen aufweisen (Anspruch 5). Dadurch, daß die Führungen nur an einer Seite - nämlich an der des von hinten nach vorne abgezogenen Trumes einer Schleife - angeordnet und gerundet sind, hindern sie die Patronen am Verrutschen, ohne jedoch das Ausziehen zu behindern. When used in combat vehicles is at high risk of danger that individual Move dreams. This is prevented by placing the partitions on one side horizontal guides with semicircular recesses and rounded transitions have (claim 5). The fact that the guides only on one side - namely that of the withdrawn from back to front Trumes a loop - arranged and Rounded, they prevent the cartridges from slipping, but without undressing too hinder.

In einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung weisen die Zwischenwände an ihrem freien Ende Umlenkrollen auf (Anspruch 6). Diese erleichtern das Ausziehen der gegurteten Munition, vor allem wenn die jeweilige Schleife weit von der Austrittsöffnung entfernt ist.In an advantageous development, the intermediate walls at their free end Pulleys on (claim 6). These facilitate the removal of the strapped ammunition, especially if the respective loop is far away from the exit opening.

Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand von Abbildungen beschrieben und erläutert. Es stellen dar:

Der in den Figuren 1 und 2 dargestellte erfindungsgemäße Behälter ist eine im wesentlichen quaderförmige Metallkonstruktion. Sie besteht aus einem Boden 1, einer Deckwand 2 (siehe Fig. 2), ersten und zweiten Seitenwänden 3,4, einer Rückwand 5 und einer Vorderwand 6 mit abnehmbarem Deckel 7. An der Vorderwand 6 ist, angrenzend an die erste Seitenwand 3, eine vertikale Austrittsöffnung 8 ausgebildet. In dem so gebildeten Raum sind vertikale Zwischenwände vorgesehen, die am Boden 1 befestigt sind.The container according to the invention shown in Figures 1 and 2 is a substantially rectangular metal construction. It consists of a floor 1, a top wall 2 (see Fig. 2), first and second side walls 3,4, a rear wall 5 and a Front wall 6 with removable lid 7. On the front wall 6, adjacent to the first side wall 3, a vertical outlet opening 8 is formed. In the thus formed Space vertical partition walls are provided, which are fixed to the bottom 1.

In diesem Behälter sind die einzelnen Patronen 11, verbunden durch Glieder 12 eines Gurtes stehend gelagert. Wegen der Zwischenwände 10 und der relativ dichten Packung besteht keine Gefahr, daß einzelne Patronen umfallen. Zur Erleichterung des Abziehens ist der Boden 1 mit einem Kunststoffbelag 13 geringen Reibwertes versehen. Die gegurteten Patronen 11 sind so eingelegt, daß sie zwischen den einzelnen Zwischenwänden 10 Schleifen 14 bilden und zwar so, daß die von der Austrittsöffnung 8 am weitesten entfernte Schleife zuerst ausgezogen wird. In Figur 1 ist zu erkennen, daß die gegurtete Munition von der hintersten Schleife zur Austrittsöffnung 8 ein Abziehtrum 15 bildet. Durch die stehende Anordnung der einzelnen Patronen und den geringen Reibwert des Kunststoffbelages 13 ist sichergestellt, daß das Abziehtrum 15 von der exponierten Patrone 16 nur wenig behindert wird. In this container, the individual cartridges 11, connected by members 12 of a Belt stored upright. Because of the partitions 10 and the relatively dense packing there is no danger of individual cartridges falling over. To facilitate the removal the bottom 1 is provided with a plastic coating 13 low coefficient of friction. The strapped Cartridges 11 are inserted so that they are between the individual partitions Form 10 loops 14 in such a way that the farthest from the outlet opening 8 removed from the loop first. In Figure 1 it can be seen that the strapped Ammunition from the rearmost loop to the outlet opening 8 a Abziehtrum 15 forms. Due to the standing arrangement of the individual cartridges and the low coefficient of friction of the Kunststoffbelages 13 ensures that the Abziehtrum 15 of the exposed cartridge 16 is only slightly hampered.

Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel schließt an die vertikale Austrittsöffnung 8 noch ein Abziehkanal 20 an, in dem ein Sternrad angebracht ist. Ein solches könnte erforderlich sein, wenn der Gurt dann noch einen größeren Weg bis zur Waffe zurückzulegen hat.In the illustrated embodiment, the vertical outlet opening 8 still closes a Abziehkanal 20, in which a star wheel is mounted. Such could be required if the strap then still a greater way to the weapon to cover Has.

Die in den Figuren 3 und 4 dargestellte Ausführungsform unterscheidet sich von der vorherigen dadurch, daß die Zwischenwände 30 parallel zur Richtung des Ausziehtrums 35 angeordnet sind. Es wird in geradliniger Fortsetzung der ersten Schleife 34 ausgezogen. Um bei Schiefstellung oder Gefällefahrt ein Verrutschen der gegurteten Munition zu verhindern, sind an einer Seite der Zwischenwände 30 Führungen 40 befestigt, deren Ausnehmungen 41 die Patronen teilweise umfassen. Die Führungen 40 sind nur an der Seite der Zwischenwand angebracht, an der die gegurtete Munition von hinten nach vorne abgezogen wird. Die Ausnehmungen 41 weisen Abrundungen auf, damit das Ausziehen des Gurtes nicht behindert wird. Zu demselben Zweck sind an den freien Enden der Zwischenwände 30 Rollen 43 vorgesehen. Sie wirken als Umlenkrollen.The embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 differs from that of FIG previous in that the intermediate walls 30 parallel to the direction of Ausziehtrums 35 are arranged. It is pulled out in a straight line continuation of the first loop 34. To slid or belted slippage the strapped ammunition To prevent 30 guides 40 are attached to one side of the intermediate walls, whose Recesses 41 include the cartridges partially. The guides 40 are only on the Side of the intermediate wall attached to the strapped ammunition from behind pulled off the front. The recesses 41 have rounded portions, so that the Pulling out the strap is not hindered. For the same purpose are to the free Ends of the intermediate walls 30 rolls 43 are provided. They act as pulleys.

Der erfindungsgemäße Munitionsbehälter ist besonders für den Einbau in den Turm eines Kampffahrzeuges geeignet, wobei die einzelnen Patronen in bekannter Weise in einem entsprechenden Führungskanal von der vertikalen in die horizontale Lage gebracht werden können.The ammunition container according to the invention is particularly suitable for installation in the tower a combat vehicle, the individual cartridges in a known manner in a corresponding guide channel from the vertical to the horizontal position can be.
