Abstract
Vorrichtung zum Magazinieren von Geschoßkugeln und zum Zuführen derselben zur Geschoßkammer einer Handteuerwaffe (1) mit einem Kugelbehälter (3), einem daran angeschlossenen und zur Waffe (1) führenden Förderrohr (2) und einem Förderer zum Fördern einer geschlossenen Kugelreihe aus dem Kugelbehälter (3) in das Förderrohr. Zur Aufrechterhaltung der Förderkraft ist eine Federeinrichtung vorgesehen, deren Federweg mindestens so groß ist wie der Durchmesser einer Kugel. Ferner ist eine Einrichtung (57) zum intermittierenden Einschalten des Motors (10) beim Unter- bzw. Überschreiten einer vorbestimmten Förderkraft bzw. eines vorbestimmten Federwegs vorgesehen. Device for magazarizing bullets and for feeding them to the bullet chamber of a handgun (1) with a bullet (3), a feed pipe (2) connected to it and leading to the gun (1) and a conveyor for conveying a closed row of bullets from the bullet (3 ) in the conveyor pipe. To maintain the conveying force, a spring device is provided, the spring travel of which is at least as large as the diameter of a ball. A device (57) is also provided for intermittently switching on the motor (10) when a predetermined conveying force or a predetermined spring travel is undershot or exceeded.
