Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und ein Laborierwerkzeug (17) zum Einbringen von Sollbruchstellen (16) in ein ringförmiges Halte- und Dichtungsband (14) eines Treibkäfiggeschosses (1) mit Stoßtreibkäfig (4), wobei das Halte- und Dichtungsband (14) auf einem Teilbereich (15) einer durch mindestens zwei Längsschlitze (8) segmentierten Aufnahmeeinrichtung (9) angeordnet ist, die das Treibelement (5) mit dem durch mindestens zwei Längsschlitze segmentierten Führungskäfig (6) des Stoßtreibkäfigs (4) verbindet.The invention relates to a method and a Laborierwerkzeug (17) for introducing predetermined breaking points (16) in an annular retaining and sealing strip (14) of a sabot projectile (1) with shock-absorbing cage (4), wherein the holding and sealing strip (14) on a Part region (15) of a at least two longitudinal slots (8) segmented receiving device (9) is arranged, which connects the drive element (5) with the segmented by at least two longitudinal slots guide cage (6) of the shock-absorbing cage (4).

Um zu erreichen, dass Sollbruchstellen (16) in das Halte- und Führungsband (14) auf kostengünstige Weise eingebracht werden, schlägt die Erfindung vor, nach dem Aufbringen des Halte- und Dichtungsbandes (14) auf die Aufnahmeeinrichtung (9), aber vor der Montage des Führungskäfigs (6), im Bereich des die Längsschlitze (8) der Aufnahmeeinrichtung (9) überdeckenden Halte- und Dichtungsbandes (14) kerbenförmige Sollbruchstellen (16) von der Innenseite dieses Halte- und Dichtungsbandes (14) mit Hilfe eines entsprechenden Laborierwerkzeuges (17) in das Halte- und Dichtungsband (14) einzubringen, wobei die Längsschlitze (8) der Aufnahmeeinrichtung (9) zur seitlichen Führung des Laborierwerkzeuges (17) verwendet werden.

Figure imgaf001
In order to achieve that predetermined breaking points (16) are introduced into the holding and guiding strip (14) in a cost-effective manner, the invention proposes, after the application of the holding and sealing strip (14) on the receiving device (9), but before Assembly of the guide cage (6), in the region of the longitudinal slots (8) of the receiving device (9) covering the holding and sealing strip (14) notch predetermined breaking points (16) from the inside of this holding and sealing strip (14) by means of a corresponding Laborierwerkzeuges ( 17) in the holding and sealing strip (14), wherein the longitudinal slots (8) of the receiving device (9) for the lateral guidance of the Laborierwerkzeuges (17) are used.
