Abstract

Vorgeschlagen wird eine Trennvorrichtung (1) für Gurtglieder (2), die über Haken (3) und Ösen (4) miteinander verbunden sind und zum Transport sowie der Halterung einer Munition (5) dienen, wobei die Trennvorrichtung (1) am Ende der Munitionszuführung (6) eingebunden ist, mit wenigstens zwei Zungen (10, 11) sowie einer speziell geformten Feder (12). Die Zungen (10, 11) dienen dabei vorrangig als untere Führung der Gurtglieder (2), während die obere Feder (12) das Trennen der Haken (3) und Ösen (4) bewirkt.

Figure imgaf001
Proposed is a separating device (1) for belt members (2), which are connected to each other via hooks (3) and eyelets (4) and for the transport and the holder of an ammunition (5), wherein the separating device (1) at the end of the ammunition supply (6) is integrated, with at least two tongues (10, 11) and a specially shaped spring (12). The tongues (10, 11) serve primarily as lower guide of the belt members (2), while the upper spring (12) causes the separation of the hooks (3) and eyelets (4).
