Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein drallstabilisiertes Artilleriegeschoß mit einem metallischen Führungsband (2) zur Übertragung des Dralles auf das Geschoß und einem heckseitig von dem Führungsband (2) angeordneten Dichtring (4).The invention relates to a spin-stabilized artillery projectile with a metallic guide band (2) for transmission the twist on the floor and a rear of the guide band (2) arranged sealing ring (4).

Um eine Beschädigung oder Zerstörung bzw. ein Abstreifen des Dichtringes (4) beim Einführen des Geschosses (1) in den Ladungsraum der entsprechenden Waffe sicher zu verhindern, schlägt die Erfindung vor, als Dichtring (4) einen Metallring zu verwenden, welcher derart in einer Ringnut (5) des Geschosses (1) angeordnet ist, daß er sich gegenüber dem Geschoß (1) frei drehen kann.

Figure 00000001
In order to reliably prevent damage or destruction or stripping of the sealing ring (4) when the projectile (1) is inserted into the cargo space of the corresponding weapon, the invention proposes to use a metal ring as the sealing ring (4), which is arranged in such a way Ring groove (5) of the projectile (1) is arranged so that it can rotate freely with respect to the projectile (1).
