Hülsenböden verbrennbarer Treibladungshülsen (im folgenden zusammenfassend auch nur als Hülse bezeichnet) ist bereits vorgeschlagen worden, an der Waffe angeordnete Hülsenfangbehälter mit einem Hülsenkasten zu verwenden. Aus der Druckschrift US-A-2, 122, 423 ist eine solche Waffe bekannt. Bei bekannten derartigen Waffen bereiten diese Hülsenfangbehälter indessen Probleme, weil es häufig zu einem Verklemmen der beweglichen Teile des Waffenrohres, Bodenstückes oder Verschlußkomponenten durch die mehr oder weniger willkürlich in dem Hülsenkasten liegenden Hülsen kommen kann. Ein derartiges Verklemmen durch Hülsen führt nicht selten zu einem Vorlaufstillstand des entsprechenden Waffenrohres und damit zu einer Waffenfunktionsstörung.To hold the ejected after firing cartridge cases or sleeve bottoms combustible propellant charge tubes (in the following also only as a sleeve has already been proposed, arranged on the weapon sleeve catcher to use with a sleeve case. From the document US-A-2, 122, 423 such a weapon is known. In known such weapons prepare these Sleeve catcher problems, however, because it often jamming the movable Parts of the gun barrel, bottom piece or closure components through the more or less arbitrarily in the sleeve case lying sleeves can come. Such a thing Jamming through sleeves often leads to a flow stop of the corresponding Gun barrel and thus to a weapons malfunction.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Waffe der eingangs erwähnten Art anzugeben, bei welcher Funktionsstörungen durch Verklemmen der beweglichen Teile der Waffe durch in dem Hülsenfangbehälter befindlichen Hülsen vermieden wird.The invention has for its object to provide a weapon of the type mentioned, in which malfunction by jamming the moving parts of the Weapon is avoided by located in the sleeve catcher sleeves.

    Die Waffe 1 umfaßt außerdem einen hinter dem Bodenstück 4 angeordneten Hülsenfangbehälter 9, welcher über Befestigungsarme 10, 11 mit dem Wiegenrohr 2 verbunden ist. Dabei ist der Hülsenfangbehälter 9 derart ausgebildet, daß er den Rücklauf des Waffenrohres 3 und des Bodenstückes 4 nach Schußabgabe nicht behindert.The weapon 1 also includes an arranged behind the bottom piece 4 sleeve catcher 9, which is connected via fastening arms 10, 11 with the cradle tube 2. In this case, the sleeve catcher 9 is designed such that it returns the gun barrel 3 and the bottom piece 4 not obstructed after firing.

    Der Hülsenfangbehälter 9 weist einen Hülsenkasten 12 zur Aufnahme von z.B. 4 Hülsenböden 7 sowie ein Prallelement 13 auf, welches von einer in den Fig.1, 2, 4 und 6 dargestellten Ausgangsstellung gegen den Druck einer Drehfeder 14 (Fig.4) in eine eingeklappte Stellung schwenkbar ist, wobei die Schwenkbewegung des Prallelementes 13 um eine zur Seelenachse 15 des Waffenrohres 3 senkrechte Achse 16 zum Bodenstück 4 hin erfolgt. Ein einstellbarer Endanschlag 17 begrenzt dabei die Schwenkbewegung des Prallelementes 13.The sleeve catcher 9 has a sleeve box 12 for receiving e.g. 4 sleeve bottoms 7 and a baffle element 13, which of a in Figs.1, 2, 4 and 6 shown Starting position against the pressure of a torsion spring 14 (Figure 4) in a folded Position is pivotable, wherein the pivoting movement of the baffle 13 to a for Soul axis 15 of the barrel 3 vertical axis 16 to the bottom piece 4 out. An adjustable end stop 17 limits the pivoting movement of the baffle element 13th

    Auf dem Prallelement 13 ist eine Schürze 18 befestigt. Prallelement 13 und Schürze 18 sind mit dämpfenden Kunststoffplatten belegt.On the baffle 13, a skirt 18 is attached. Baffle element 13 and apron 18 are covered with damping plastic plates.

    Der Hülsenkasten 12 umfaßt zwei Seitenwände 19, 20 (Fig.5), Rückwand und eine Bodenklappe 21, wobei die Seitenwände 19, 20, die Rückwand als auch die Bodenklappe 21 mit dämpfenden Gummiplatten belegt sind. Die Bodenklappe 21 ist heckseitig an dem Hülsenkasten 12 um eine Drehachse 22 schwenkbar gelagert (Fig.6). Der vordere Teil der Bodenklappe 21 ist mit einer nach oben gerichteten Rampe 23 (Fig.7) versehen. Außerdem umfaßt die Bodenklappe 21 zwei Befestigungsleisten 24, die jeweils mit einem Ende dreier Federn 25, 26 verbunden sind, welche die Bodenklappe 21 in ihrer Ausgangslage halten.The sleeve case 12 comprises two side walls 19, 20 (Fig.5), rear wall and a bottom flap 21, wherein the side walls 19, 20, the rear wall and the bottom flap 21 with steaming rubber plates are occupied. The bottom flap 21 is at the rear of the sleeve box 12 pivotally mounted about an axis of rotation 22 (Figure 6). The front part of the bottom flap 21 is provided with an upwardly directed ramp 23 (Fig.7). Also included the bottom flap 21 two fastening strips 24, each with one end of three Springs 25, 26 are connected, which hold the bottom flap 21 in its initial position.

    Nachfolgend wird auf die Wirkungsweise des Hülsenfangbehälters 9 eingegangen. Hierzu sei angenommen, daß sich die zu verschießende Patrone bereits in dem Waffenrohr 3 befindet und der Verschluß geschlossen ist.Subsequently, the operation of the sleeve catcher 9 will be discussed. For this Let it be assumed that the cartridge to be fired is already in the weapon barrel 3 and the closure is closed.

    Nach Abgabe eines Schusses erfolgt zunächst der Rücklauf des Waffenrohres 3, ohne daß hierbei das Bodenstück 4 auf das Prallelement 13 des Hülsenfangbehälters 9 einwirkt. Bei dem anschließenden Vorlauf des Waffenrohres 3 wird der Hülsenboden 7 mit dem Treibladungsanzünder 8 der gezündeten Patrone mittels des Hülsenauswerfers 6 nach hinten ausgeworfen und trifft auf das nach vorne geneigte Prallelement 13 mit Schürze 18. Von dieser wird der Hülsenboden 7 abgeleitet und fällt in den Hülsenkasten 12, wo er eine mehr oder weniger zufällige Lage einnimmt.After delivery of a shot, the return of the gun barrel 3, without that Here, the bottom piece 4 acts on the baffle element 13 of the sleeve catcher 9. at the subsequent flow of the gun barrel 3, the sleeve bottom 7 with the propellant charge igniter 8 of the fired cartridge by means of the sleeve ejector 6 to the rear ejected and strikes the forwardly inclined baffle element 13 with apron 18. Von this is derived from the sleeve bottom 7 and falls into the sleeve box 12, where he is one more or less accidentally.

    Zum anschließenden Laden einer neuen Patrone wird das Prallelement 13 von den die Patrone tragenden Händen des jeweiligen Richtschützen beim Zuführen der Patrone gleichzeitig nach vorne geklappt.For subsequent loading of a new cartridge, the baffle 13 of the cartridge carrying hands of the respective gunner while feeding the cartridge at the same time folded forward.

    Durch die Möglichkeit des Ausfederns der Bodenklappe 21 beim Rücklauf und beim Vorlauf des Waffenrohres 3 wird ein Einklemmen der Hülsenböden 7 zwischen den rück- bzw. vorlaufenden Waffenteilen und dem Hülsenkasten 12 in der Regel sicher vermieden.Due to the possibility of rebounding the bottom flap 21 during the return and the flow of the gun barrel 3 is a pinching the sleeve bottoms 7 between the back or leading weapon parts and the sleeve case 12 usually avoided safely.

    Der maximale Öffnungswinkel 28 der Bodenklappe 21 ist derart gewählt, daß bei jeder sich zufällig ergebenden Ablage der Hülsenböden 7 in dem Hülsenkasten 12 diese nach Ausfederung der Bodenklappe 21 nicht in den Bewegungsraum der Waffenrohrteile, des Bodenstückes und des Verschlusses (einschließlich des Verschlußkeiles und des Öffnerhebels) während des Rück- bzw. Vorlaufes des Waffenrohres 3 ragen.The maximum opening angle 28 of the bottom flap 21 is selected such that at each coincidentally resulting storage of the sleeve bottoms 7 in the sleeve box 12 this after Rebound of the bottom flap 21 is not in the range of motion of the gun barrel parts, the Bottom piece and the closure (including the closure wedge and the opener lever) during the return and flow of the gun barrel 3 protrude.

    Die Entleerung des Hülsenkastens 12 erfolgt bei dem vorstehend beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel manuell.The emptying of the sleeve box 12 takes place in the embodiment described above manually.

    Die federnde Bodenklappe ist derart ausgelegt, daß sie sich bei Beladung des jeweiligen Waffensystems (z.B. Panzers) und bei Geländefahrt nicht selbständig öffnen kann. The resilient bottom flap is designed so that they load each other Weapon system (for example, tank) and on off-road can not open independently.
