Definitions
- the technical field of the invention is that of devices for feeding an ammunition weapon and in particular that of devices for separating the links from each other at the exit of the weapon after firing the ammunition.
- Ammunition fired by medium-caliber weapons (caliber between 20mm and 50mm) is usually assembled on chains or bands of links. These bands make it easier to introduce ammunition into the weapon. Ammunition is stored in stores with their band. The band allows them to be driven to the gun by following feeding lanes. The weapon's feeding system thus brings the ammunition one after the other opposite the chamber of the weapon where the correctly positioned ammunition is extracted from its band to be fired.
- the bands of links still interconnected agglomerate and form blocks integral with the turret and which can hinder the implementation of the latter.
- the invention relates more particularly to a device which is intended to separate links of a strip in which the links are mounted to pivot angularly relative to each other, a relative pivoting position of a first link with respect to the link which follows allowing the stall of the first link.
- Such a link band structure is well known to those skilled in the art.
- the figure thus shows two links M1, M2 of such a strip separated from one another while the figure 1b shows these assembled links.
- each link comprises a central stirrup 1 and two lateral stirrups 2.
- Each stirrup has a partially cylindrical shape so as to receive a munition.
- the central stirrup 1 of the link M2 comprises circular beads 3 which cooperate with circular grooves 4 carried by the lateral stirrups 2 of the link M1.
- bands of links are formed with a flexibility to conduct the ammunition in the corridors of the weapon.
- the reliability of the device is therefore insufficient. Moreover, the greater or lesser flexibility of the connection between the tongue and the turret is likely to disturb also the unmaking.
- the object of the invention is to propose a device of simple design that is more reliable than the known device.
- the device according to the invention therefore provides a certain way the separation of the different links of the band at the exit of the turret.
- the proposed device has no adjustment and its reliability does not decrease over time.
- the subject of the invention is a device for separating the links of an ammunition carrying strip, a strip coming out of a weapon after firing and in which the links are mounted to pivot angularly relative to each other, a position of relative pivoting of a first link with respect to the link that follows it for the stalling of the first link, device comprising an elastic means secured to a support of the weapon and placed near an exit of the band outside this support, and able to rotate each link relative to the next, characterized in that the elastic means comprises at least one tongue disposed above an output of the strip, tongue which is pushed by the output of a first link against the action of a spring means and which cooperates with a rear edge of the body of the first link to rotate it with respect to the next link and thus unhook it.
- the separation device advantageously comprises a holding blade disposed below the exit of the strip, which blade supports the link during movement of the tongue or tongues and during the pivoting of the link.
- each tongue may be a resilient tongue deformable by the passage of the links, each tongue then forming in itself the spring means that can rotate the link body.
- each tongue may be a rigid tongue integral with a torsion spring which will constitute the spring means that can rotate the link body.
- the separation device may comprise two tongues and the latter may be positioned on either side of the holding blade.
- FIGS. 2a and 2b show a device for separating the links M1, M2 of a band. These figures show a support 5 secured to the weapon (not shown) or a turret. An opening 11 is arranged in this support to allow the exit of the strip.
- the invention comprises an elastic means 7 which is secured to the support 5 by means of a frame 6 positioned opposite the opening 11 and fixed to the support 5 by means not shown.
- the elastic means 7 is fixed to the frame 6 for example by screws 8.
- the resilient means consists of two resilient tongues which extend outwardly from an upper flange 6a of the frame 6.
- the tongues 7 are for example made of spring steel.
- the elastic tongues 7 are also oriented downwardly B so as to be deformed by the passage of the links M of the band.
- the device according to the invention also comprises a holding blade 9 which is disposed below the opening 11.
- This blade is fixed to the support 5 for example by screws 10.
- the blade 9 is substantially horizontal (or with a slight inclination upwards H, for example less than 5 °, inclination which makes it possible to initiate the pivoting of the link) and provides support for the central stirrup 1 of the link M1. The blade thus ensures the support of the link M1 during the deformation of the elastic tongue or tabs 7 consecutively at the exit of the strip.
- the two elastic tongues 7 are positioned at parallel vertical planes and arranged on either side of a vertical plane passing through the holding blade 9. Thus each tongue 7 will bear on a lateral stirrup 2 of a given link while, at the same time, the blade 9 ensures the maintenance of the central stirrup 1 of the link in question.
- the figure 3a shows the device when the first link M1 of the band arrives at the opening 11.
- the arrow S indicates the direction of exit of the link band from the support 5 and through the opening 11.
- the H marks and B represent respectively the top and the bottom of the device relative to the vertical.
- the figure 3b shows the beginning of the deformation of the elastic tongues 7. These tongues pass the front edge R1 of the side stirrups 2- without the link M1 has rotated. It remains in fact resting on the holding blade 9.
- the figure 3c shows the beginning of the deformation of the elastic tongues 7 when they come into contact with the rear rim R2 of the lateral stirrups 2 of the first link M1
- the stiffness of the tongues 7 is chosen so as to ensure retention of the lateral stirrups 2. This therefore results in a pivoting (arrow P) of the first link M1 with respect to the second link M2 (see FIG. figure 3d ).
- the device is then in the disposition of the figure 3f which is analogous to that of the figure 3b and the first link M1 falls to the ground by gravity.
- FIGS. 4 and 5 show an embodiment of the device comprising two tabs 12 which are rigid and integral with a valve 13.
- the valve 13 is articulated with respect to a plate 14 which is fixed to the frame 6.
- the valve 13 carrying the tongues 12 can pivot relative to the plate 14 about an axis 15.
- a torsion spring 16 is disposed around the axis 15 and is supported on the one hand on the valve 13 and on the other hand on a bracket 17 integral with the plate 14.
- the spring is mounted so that, when the tongues 12 are pushed by the links out through the frame 6, the spring 16 is constrained and seeks to bring the valve and the tabs to their original position.
- the torsion spring 16 thus makes it possible to rotate the link body.
- the operation of this embodiment is identical to that of the previous mode. It is not necessary to describe it in more detail.
- This embodiment has the advantage of being more robust and less susceptible to wear.
