Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Geschützrohr mit einem axial längsverschiebbaren Adapter (19) zur Veränderung des Volumens des Ladungsraumes (2).The invention relates to a gun barrel with an axial longitudinally displaceable adapter (19) for changing the volume the cargo space (2).

Um auf einfache Weise Patronen (9,15) mit unterschiedlichen Abmessungen der Treibladungshülsen (10,14), aber gleicher Geschoßkaliber aus dem Geschützrohr verschießen zu können, schlägt die Erfindung vor, als Ladungsraum (2) mindestens zwei axial hintereinander angeordnete Teilräume (4,5) vorzusehen, die über einen kegelstumpfförmigen Übergang (8) miteinander verbunden sind. Der dem Kaliberteil (3) des Geschützrohres (1) benachbarte erste Teilraum (4) weist einen kleineren Durchmesser (6) auf als der zweite Teilraum (5) und ist an die erste Treibladungshülse (14) einer entsprechenden Patrone (15) angepaßt, deren Hülsenboden (16) sich im Bereich des kegelstumpfförmigen Überganges (8) abstützt. Der zweite Teilraum (5) ist bei Verwendung dieser Treibladungshülse durch den Adapter (19) ausgefüllt.To easily cartridges (9,15) with different Dimensions of the propellant charge sleeves (10.14), but the same To be able to shoot projectile calibers out of the gun barrel, proposes the invention, at least as cargo space (2) to provide two partial spaces (4, 5) arranged axially one behind the other, via a truncated cone-shaped transition (8) are interconnected. The caliber part (3) of the gun barrel (1) adjacent first subspace (4) has one smaller diameter (6) than the second subspace (5) and is attached to the first propellant charge sleeve (14) Cartridge (15) adapted, the sleeve base (16) in the area of the frustoconical transition (8) is supported. The second Partial space (5) is when using this propellant charge sleeve filled out by the adapter (19).

Der gesamte, aus den beiden Teilräumen (4,5) und dem kegelstumpfförmigen übergang (8) bestehende Ladungsraum (2) ist an die Form einer zweiten Treibladungshülse (10) einer entsprechenden Patrone angepaßt.
