- the pins 4 can rotate the cradle 2 and the weapon 3 (arrow S).
- the axis of the trunnions 4 materializes the pointing axis in the weapon's site which is a horizontal axis, perpendicular to the vertical axis 7 and to the axis 8 of the tube 3a of the weapon 3.
- the weapon 3 is fixed to the cradle 2 by slides (not shown) which allow the recoil of the weapon during firing.
- a bottom plate 10 integral with the carriage 5
- an upper plate 11 plates which delimit an ejection lane 12 for the sockets leaving the opening 9.
- a first end of the passage 12 is disposed in the vicinity of the ejection opening 9 and a second end of the passageway is disposed in the vicinity of a magazine 13, which is fixed to the carriage 5 and which allows the storage of ejected bushes .
- the corridor 12 opens into the store at an opening 14 which is arranged in a front wall 13a of the store.
- the corridor 12 (as the ejection opening 9) is located between the two panels of the fork of the carriage 5.
- the architecture of the corridor of the weapon assembly according to the invention is visible more precisely in the figure 2 .
- the weapon 3 is partially represented.
- One of the panel of the carriage 5 is removed.
- a pin 4 is visible in the form of arcs of circles which schematize the fixing bearings of the cradle 2 on the rear panel 5a.
- the weapon 3 is shown in the rest position.
- the ejection opening 9 of the sleeves is located just behind the pin 4, above a passage 28 which is arranged in the cradle 2.
- This forward position of the weapon is the one that corresponds during the firing cycle when ejection of the sleeve out of the weapon.
- the sockets are ejected with a significant speed (of the order of 10 m / s).
- the corridor 12 thus makes it possible to guide them and to drive them reliably to the storage magazine 13.
- the passage 12 is partly delimited by the base plate 10 which is fixed relative to the carriage 5 and by an upper plate 11.
- the upper plate 11 is articulated at its front edge on a hinge 15 which is fixed relative to the carriage 5.
- the hinge 15 has its axis parallel to the axis of the pins 4.
- a flange 20 constituted by a plate integral with the cradle 2.
- This flange 20 pivots with the cradle 2 when pointing in site.
- the upper plate 11 has its rear edge 16 which is close to the pin 4 and which is guided on a first groove 17 of curved shape and carried by the flange 20.
- the weapon mounting is symmetrical with respect to a vertical plane.
- the guiding of the upper plate 11 is ensured at each flange 20 by a rotary roller 18 mounted on an axis integral with the upper plate, which roller can roll in the first groove 17.
- the upper plate thus carries two rollers 18 (see FIG. figure 3a ), each roller flowing in a groove 17 of one of the flanges 20.
- the upper plate 11 is a folded sheet which has two lateral flanges 11a and 11b.
- the rollers 18 and their axes are carried by a small structure 19 of folded sheets which is welded to the upper plate 11.
- the bottom plate 10 is also a folded sheet which has two lateral cheeks 10a, 10b.
- the cheeks thus form a chute with variable geometry that partially delimits the ejection corridor 12.
- the first groove 17 comprises a first part 17a which has a curvature whose concavity is oriented towards the journal 4.
- the profile of this part 17a of the first groove 17 is defined so as to ensure a positioning of the upper plate 11 substantially parallel to the bottom plate 10 on at least 50% of the swinging movement of the cradle 2 on the journals 4.
- the ejection corridor 12 does not see its reduced section, the risk of blocking sockets ejected in the corridor 12 are eliminated. This is all the more important as the direction of ejection of the casings out of the weapon varies with the angle of pointing in site.
- the sockets are thus projected towards the bottom plate 10 and bounce with different angles towards the upper plate 11. If the lane 12 saw its section vary during the pointing, the sockets could be blocked across the corridor.
- the weapon assembly also comprises a first rear plate 21 which is articulated by a pivot 22 on the flange 20 integral with the cradle 2.
- the first rear plate 21 carries at a front end at least one roller 23 guided by a path 24 integral with the bottom plate 10.
- the structure is of course symmetrical with respect to a vertical plane.
- the first rear plate 21 is a folded sheet which also has two side panels 21a and 21b.
- Each cheek 21a and 21b carries a roller 23 which cooperates with a path 24 of the bottom plate 10.
- Each cheek 21a and 21b also carries a pivot 22 which cooperates with a flange 20 secured to the cradle.
- the cradle when the cradle pivots in site, it drives the first rear plate 21 whose end before sliding along the bottom plate 10, guided by the rollers 23. During this movement, the lateral cheeks 21a and 21b of the first rear plate 21 move relative to the cheeks 10a, 10b and 11a, 11b of the bottom plates. and higher. The first rear plate thus completes the ejection corridor 12 towards the rear of the assembly. Such an arrangement is necessary to prevent a rebound of the sockets towards the rear of the corridor 12. It is indeed not possible to extend the bottom plate 10 too far back because it could interfere with the cradle 2 during the clocking at high site.
- the first rear plate 21 makes it possible to vary the length of the ejection corridor 12 during pointing.
- the weapon assembly finally comprises a second rear plate 24 which is articulated by a pivot 25 on the flange 20 integral with the cradle 2.
- This second rear plate 24 is guided by rollers (of which only the axis 26 is visible on the figure 2 ) on a second groove 27 carried by the first rear plate 21.
- the second groove 27 is visible at the figure 3d .
- This groove has a relatively short length.
- the second rear plate serves to close the rear of the corridor 12.
- the pivot 25 is located in the vicinity of the passage 28 arranged in the cradle and behind the ejection opening 9.
- the second groove 27 has dimensions and a location defined so as to ensure, when pointing the cradle with a negative site, a decrease in the angle ⁇ between the first and second back plates.
- the figure 4 shows the mounting with such a score with negative site (-10 °).
- the reduction of the angle ⁇ is done in conjunction with a reduction in the angle ⁇ formed between the second rear plate 24 and the firing plane (plane formed by the axis 8 of the weapon and the axis of the trunnions).
- Such an arrangement makes it possible, during a negative-site firing configuration which is very unfavorable for the ejection of the bushings, to move the second rear plate 24 away from the ejection opening 9. bushings and reduces the risk of blockage of the corridor 12 by the latter.
- the figure 4 thus shows a view of the assembly with a pointing at negative site (site of -10 ° for the axis 8 of the weapon).
- rollers 18 which guide the upper plate 11 have followed the first portion 17a of the first groove 17 to its end.
- the upper plate 11 remained parallel to the bottom plate 10 during this pointing movement of the weapon from 0 ° to -10 °.
- the figure 5 shows a view of the assembly with a 30 ° positive site pointing for the 8 axis of the weapon.
- the figure 6 finally shows the assembly with a maximum score (+ 50 ° for the axis 8 of the weapon).
- the second rear plate 24 is parallel to the first rear plate 21.
- This second part 17b (see figure 2 ) has its convexity oriented towards the pins 4, so an orientation opposite that of the first part 17a. This movement has the effect of moving away from the bottom plate 10 the rear end 16 of the upper plate 11.
- the upper plate 11 is no longer parallel to the bottom plate 10.
- the angle ⁇ between these plates is of the order of 5 °.
- Such an arrangement is intended to further open the entrance of the corridor 12 in this pointing configuration where the direction of ejection of the sleeves approaches an orientation parallel to the bottom plate 10.

- the angle ⁇ is here 45 °.
- the second angle ⁇ deflects the trajectory of a bushing impacting the edge 31 of the deflector 30.
- the bushing is directed towards the ceiling 41 of the store because of the orientation of this edge 31. It will therefore be required to lodge in other areas of the enclosure 29 and not to clutter the space in front of the opening 14.

Abstract
Description
Le domaine technique de l'invention est celui des montages d'armes.The technical field of the invention is that of mounting weapons.
Un montage d'arme classique comprend un berceau qui porte une arme et qui est monté pivotant sur des tourillons solidaires d'un affût.A conventional weapon assembly includes a cradle carrying a weapon and which is pivotally mounted on journals integral with a carriage.
Les tourillons permettent de façon classique le pointage de l'arme en site. L'axe des tourillons est donc le plus souvent horizontal.The trunnions conventionally allow the pointing of the weapon in site. The axis of the trunnions is therefore usually horizontal.
L'affût est généralement lui-même monté pivotant par rapport à une structure, telle un véhicule, un navire ou un aéronef. L'axe de pivotement de l'affût permet le pointage de l'arme en gisement. Cet axe est alors vertical.The carriage is generally pivotally mounted relative to a structure, such as a vehicle, a ship or an aircraft. The pivot axis of the carriage allows the pointing of the weapon in the field. This axis is then vertical.
L'arme est montée d'une façon connue sur le berceau par des glissières qui permettent le recul de l'arme lors du tir.The weapon is mounted in a known manner on the cradle by slides that allow the recoil of the weapon when firing.
Les armes de petit calibre (calibre inférieur à 15mm) ou de moyen calibre (calibre compris entre 15mm et 50mm) tirent des projectiles qui sont solidaires d'une douille. La douille est un résidu de tir qui est éjecté de l'arme après le tir du projectile.Small arms (caliber less than 15mm) or medium caliber (caliber between 15mm and 50mm) fire projectiles that are integral with a socket. The socket is a firing residue that is ejected from the weapon after firing the projectile.
D'une façon classique les douilles sont éjectées sur le terrain à distance de l'affût. On pourra par exemple considérer le brevet
Il est cependant de plus en plus souvent requis de récupérer les douilles. Il est nécessaire pour cela de prévoir un magasin spécifique au voisinage de l'affût, magasin vers lequel doivent être conduites les douilles.However, it is more and more often required to recover the sockets. It is necessary for this to provide a specific store in the vicinity of the carriage, store to which the bushings must be conducted.
Dans les armes connues l'alimentation en munitions est correctement maîtrisée car les munitions sont amenées progressivement à l'arme par des couloirs dans lesquels circulent des munitions liées par des maillons de guidage. L'éjection des douilles est par contre mal contrôlée, les douilles ne sont plus solidaires des maillons et sortent latéralement en dessous de l'arme avec une vitesse importante liée à la cadence de tir.In known weapons ammunition supply is properly controlled because ammunition is gradually brought to the weapon by corridors in which ammunition bound by guide links. The ejection of the sleeves is poorly controlled, however, the bushings are not secured to the links and leave laterally below the weapon with a significant speed related to the rate of fire.
D'une façon classique on prévoit des déflecteurs, tels que des tôles sur lesquels les douilles rebondissent et se trouvent ainsi écartée de l'affût.Conventionally, baffles are provided, such as plates on which the bushes bounce and are thus removed from the carriage.
Une telle solution à base de déflecteurs n'est pas satisfaisante pour permettre de récupérer dans un magasin toutes les douilles tirées par l'arme. En effet les trajectoires des douilles après rebond varient d'un tir à l'autre, en particulier en raison des modifications qui sont apportées lors d'un tir au pointage de l'arme en site.Such a deflector-based solution is not satisfactory for recovering in a magazine all the casings pulled by the weapon. Indeed the trajectories of rebound bushings vary from one shot to another, especially because of the changes that are made during a shot at the point of the weapon in site.
Il existe donc un risque de voir les douilles être éjectées suivant une direction qui n'est pas celle du magasin. Par ailleurs les variations de distance et d'orientation de l'ouverture d'éjection par rapport à l'affût risquent de conduire à un blocage des douilles dans la zone d'éjection conduisant à un arrêt de l'arme.There is therefore a risk of the bushings being ejected in a direction that is not that of the store. Moreover, the variations in distance and orientation of the ejection opening relative to the carriage may lead to a blocking of the bushings in the ejection zone leading to a stopping of the weapon.
Ainsi l'invention a pour objet de proposer un montage d'arme comprenant des moyens permettant de maîtriser la trajectoire des douilles éjectées par l'arme quel que soit l'angle de site donné à l'arme.Thus, the invention aims to propose a weapon assembly comprising means for controlling the trajectory of the sockets ejected by the weapon regardless of the angle of elevation given to the weapon.
Ces moyens permettent donc de conduire les douilles suivant une direction fixe vers un magasin de stockage.These means thus make it possible to drive the bushings in a fixed direction towards a storage magazine.
L'invention a ainsi pour objet, un montage d'arme comportant un berceau destiné à recevoir une arme et monté pivotant sur des tourillons solidaires d'un affût et permettant un pointage en site de l'arme, montage d'arme comportant un couloir d'éjection des douilles, couloir comportant une première extrémité destinée à être disposée au voisinage d'une ouverture d'éjection de l'arme au travers de laquelle sont éjectées les douilles lors d'un tir et une deuxième extrémité qui est disposée au voisinage d'un magasin de stockage des douilles éjectées, montage d'arme caractérisé en ce que le couloir est en partie délimité par une plaque de fond fixe par rapport à l'affût et une plaque supérieure articulée sur une charnière fixe par rapport à l'affût et ayant un axe parallèle aux tourillons, la plaque supérieure étant par ailleurs guidée sur une première rainure qui est courbe et portée par un flasque solidaire du berceau, le profil de la première rainure étant défini de façon à assurer un positionnement de la plaque supérieure sensiblement parallèlement à la plaque de fond sur au moins 50% du débattement en pivotement du berceau sur ses tourillons.The invention thus relates to a weapon assembly comprising a cradle for receiving a weapon and pivotally mounted on journals integral with a carriage and allowing a pointing in the weapon's site, mounting a weapon comprising a corridor ejection bushings, corridor having a first end intended to be disposed in the vicinity of an ejection opening of the weapon through which the bushes are ejected during a firing and a second end which is arranged in the vicinity ejected casing storage magazine, weapon assembly characterized in that the passage is partly delimited by a fixed bottom plate relative to the carriage and an upper plate articulated on a fixed hinge relative to the view and having an axis parallel to the trunnions, the upper plate being further guided on a first groove which is curved and carried by a flange integral with the cradle, the profile of the first groove being defined so as to ensure positioning of the upper plate substantially parallel to the bottom plate over at least 50% of the pivoting movement of the cradle on its trunnions.
Selon une caractéristique, le montage comporte une première plaque arrière qui est articulée sur le flasque solidaire du berceau et qui porte au niveau d'une extrémité avant au moins un galet guidé par un chemin solidaire de la plaque de fond.According to one feature, the assembly comprises a first rear plate which is hinged to the flange integral with the cradle and which carries at a front end at least one roller guided by a path secured to the bottom plate.
Avantageusement, le montage d'arme comporte aussi une deuxième plaque arrière qui est, elle aussi, articulée sur le flasque solidaire du berceau et qui est guidée sur une deuxième rainure portée par la première plaque arrière, les dimensions et la position de la deuxième rainure étant définis de façon à assurer lors d'un pointage du berceau avec un site négatif une diminution de l'angle entre les première et deuxième plaques arrières.Advantageously, the weapon assembly also comprises a second rear plate which is also articulated on the flange integral with the cradle and which is guided on a second groove carried by the first rear plate, the dimensions and the position of the second groove. being defined in such a way as to ensure when pointing the cradle with a negative site a decrease in the angle between the first and second back plates.
La première rainure pourra comporter une partie qui sera définie de telle sorte que, pour un pointage du berceau supérieur à un angle donné, la plaque supérieure ne sera plus parallèle à la plaque de fond, l'extrémité de la plaque supérieure voisine de la première rainure s'écartant alors de la plaque de fond.The first groove may include a portion that will be defined so that, for a cradle pointing higher than a given angle, the upper plate will no longer be parallel to the bottom plate, the end of the upper plate next to the first groove then deviating from the bottom plate.
Avantageusement la plaque supérieure et la plaque de fond comporteront chacune deux joues latérales, les joues de la plaque supérieure se déplaçant parallèlement aux joues de la plaque de fond lors du pointage du berceau, les joues délimitant ainsi en partie le couloir d'éjection.Advantageously, the upper plate and the bottom plate each comprise two lateral cheeks, the cheeks of the upper plate moving parallel to the cheeks of the bottom plate when pointing the cradle, the cheeks thus partially delimiting the ejection corridor.
La première plaque arrière pourra comporter aussi deux joues latérales qui se déplaceront par rapport aux joues des plaques de fond et supérieure lors du pointage de l'arme, complétant ainsi le couloir d'éjection.The first backplate may also include two lateral cheeks which will move relative to the cheeks of the bottom plates and upper when pointing the weapon, thus completing the ejection corridor.
Selon une variante, le montage d'arme peut comprendre un magasin renfermant au moins un déflecteur diédrique qui est disposé sensiblement en regard d'une ouverture aménagée dans une paroi avant du magasin et destinée à être positionnée en regard du couloir, le déflecteur diédrique comportant deux plans formant un premier angle entre eux, le bord d'intersection des plans étant par ailleurs incliné d'un deuxième angle par rapport à la paroi portant l'ouverture.According to a variant, the weapon assembly may comprise a magazine containing at least one dihedral deflector which is disposed substantially facing an opening in a front wall of the magazine and intended to be positioned facing the corridor, the dihedral deflector comprising two planes forming a first angle between them, the intersecting edge of the planes being further inclined at a second angle relative to the wall carrying the opening.
Le montage d'arme peut en particulier comporter deux déflecteurs diédriques disposés l'un au-dessus de l'autre par rapport à un plan géométrique perpendiculaire à la paroi avant portant l'ouverture et avec une orientation sensiblement symétrique par rapport à ce plan géométrique. Le montage d'arme peut aussi comporter au moins une plaque latérale s'étendant entre un des plans d'un déflecteur diédrique en direction d'une paroi arrière du magasin parallèle à la paroi avant, cette plaque latérale étant inclinée par rapport à la paroi avant.The weapon assembly may in particular comprise two dihedral deflectors arranged one above the other with respect to a geometric plane perpendicular to the front wall carrying the opening and with a substantially symmetrical orientation with respect to this geometric plane. . The weapon assembly may also include at least one side plate extending between one of the planes of a deflector dihedral towards a rear wall of the magazine parallel to the front wall, this side plate being inclined with respect to the front wall.
Avantageusement, le montage d'arme peut comporter au moins deux cloisons situées de part et d'autre du ou des déflecteurs, cloisons qui s'étendent chacune entre la paroi avant et la paroi arrière, chaque cloison s'étendant verticalement jusqu'à un plan intermédiaire situé à distance du plafond du magasin.Advantageously, the weapon assembly may comprise at least two partitions located on either side of the or baffles, partitions which each extend between the front wall and the rear wall, each partition extending vertically to a intermediate plan located at a distance from the store ceiling.

En se reportant à la
Les tourillons 4 permettent de faire pivoter le berceau 2 et l'arme 3 (flèche S). L'axe des tourillons 4 matérialise l'axe de pointage en site de l'arme qui est un axe horizontal, perpendiculaire à l'axe vertical 7 ainsi qu'à l'axe 8 du tube 3a de l'arme 3.The pins 4 can rotate the
L'arme 3 est fixée au berceau 2 par des glissières (non représentées) qui permettent le recul de l'arme lors du tir.The
Un tel montage d'arme est classique. On pourra considérer le
On a schématisé à la
On a également représenté sur la
Une première extrémité du couloir 12 est disposée au voisinage de l'ouverture d'éjection 9 et une deuxième extrémité du couloir est disposée au voisinage d'un magasin 13, qui est fixé à l'affût 5 et qui permet le stockage des douilles éjectées. Le couloir 12 débouche dans le magasin au niveau d'une ouverture 14 qui est aménagée dans une paroi avant 13a du magasin.A first end of the
Le couloir 12 (tout comme l'ouverture d'éjection 9) est donc situé entre les deux panneaux de la fourche de l'affût 5.The corridor 12 (as the ejection opening 9) is located between the two panels of the fork of the carriage 5.
L'architecture du couloir du montage d'arme selon l'invention est visible de façon plus précise à la
Sur cette figure (ainsi que sur les
L'arme 3 est représentée en position de repos.The
Dans cette position, l'ouverture d'éjection 9 des douilles se situe juste en arrière du tourillon 4, au-dessus d'un passage 28 qui est aménagé dans le berceau 2.In this position, the ejection opening 9 of the sleeves is located just behind the pin 4, above a
Ainsi les douilles peuvent tomber en dessous du berceau 2 dans le couloir 12. Cette position avant de l'arme est celle qui correspond lors du cycle de tir à l'éjection de la douille hors de l'arme.Thus the bushings can fall below the
Les douilles sont éjectées avec une vitesse non négligeable (de l'ordre de 10 m/s). Le couloir 12 permet donc de les guider et de les conduire de façon fiable jusqu'au magasin de stockage 13.The sockets are ejected with a significant speed (of the order of 10 m / s). The
Le couloir 12 est en partie délimité par la plaque de fond 10 qui est fixe par rapport à l'affût 5 et par une plaque supérieure 11.The
Suivant une caractéristique de l'invention, la plaque supérieure 11 est articulée au niveau de son bord avant sur une charnière 15 qui est fixe par rapport à l'affût 5. La charnière 15 a son axe parallèle à l'axe des tourillons 4.According to a characteristic of the invention, the
On voit sur la
Le guidage de la plaque supérieure 11 est assuré au niveau de chaque flasque 20 par un galet rotatif 18 monté sur un axe solidaire de la plaque supérieure, galet pouvant rouler dans la première rainure 17. La plaque supérieure porte donc deux galets 18 (voir la
Comme on le voit plus précisément sur la
Comme on le voit sur la
Lors du pointage du berceau 2 en site, les joues 11a, 11b de la plaque supérieure 11 se déplacent parallèlement aux joues 10a,10b de la plaque de fond 10.When pointing the
Les joues forment ainsi une goulotte à géométrie variable qui délimite en partie le couloir d'éjection 12.The cheeks thus form a chute with variable geometry that partially delimits the
La première rainure 17 comporte une première partie 17a qui a une courbure dont la concavité est orientée vers le tourillon 4. Le profil de cette partie 17a de la première rainure 17 est défini de façon à assurer un positionnement de la plaque supérieure 11 sensiblement parallèle à la plaque de fond 10 sur au moins 50% du débattement en pivotement du berceau 2 sur les tourillons 4.The
Une telle disposition permet d'empêcher une réduction de la section du couloir d'éjection 12 lors des principaux mouvements de pointage de l'arme en site. On pourra par exemple assurer ce parallélisme pour les débattements allant de -10° en site à +30° en site.Such an arrangement makes it possible to prevent a reduction in the section of the
Le couloir d'éjection 12 ne voyant pas sa section réduite, les risques de blocage des douilles éjectées dans le couloir 12 sont éliminés. Ceci est d'autant plus important que la direction d'éjection des douilles hors de l'arme varie avec l'angle de pointage en site. Les douilles sont donc projetées vers la plaque de fond 10 et rebondissent avec des angles différents vers la plaque supérieure 11. Si le couloir 12 voyait sa section varier lors du pointage, les douilles pourraient se trouver bloquées en travers du couloir.The
Comme on le voit sur la
La première plaque arrière 21 porte au niveau d'une extrémité avant au moins un galet 23 guidé par un chemin 24 solidaire de la plaque de fond 10.The first
La structure est bien entendu symétrique par rapport à un plan vertical. Ainsi la première plaque arrière 21 est une tôle pliée qui comporte aussi deux joues latérales 21a et 21b. Chaque joue 21a et 21b porte un galet 23 qui coopère avec un chemin 24 de la plaque de fond 10. Chaque joue 21a et 21b porte aussi un pivot 22 qui coopère avec un flasque 20 solidaire du berceau.The structure is of course symmetrical with respect to a vertical plane. Thus the first
Ainsi lorsque le berceau pivote en site, il entraîne la première plaque arrière 21 dont l'extrémité avant glisse le long de la plaque de fond 10, guidée par les galets 23. Lors de ce mouvement les joues latérales 21a et 21b de la première plaque arrière 21 se déplacent par rapport aux joues 10a,10b et 11a,11b des plaques de fond et supérieure. La première plaque arrière complète ainsi le couloir d'éjection 12 vers l'arrière du montage. Une telle disposition est nécessaire pour empêcher un rebond des douilles vers l'arrière du couloir 12. Il n'est en effet pas possible de prolonger la plaque de fond 10 trop en arrière car elle pourrait venir en interférence avec le berceau 2 lors des pointages à site élevé.Thus when the cradle pivots in site, it drives the first
La première plaque arrière 21 permet de faire varier ainsi la longueur du couloir d'éjection 12 lors du pointage.The first
Comme on le voit sur la
Cette deuxième plaque arrière 24 est guidée par des galets (dont seul l'axe 26 est visible sur la
La deuxième rainure 27 est visible à la
La deuxième plaque arrière a pour fonction de fermer l'arrière du couloir 12. A cet effet, le pivot 25 est situé au voisinage du passage 28 aménagé dans le berceau et en arrière de l'ouverture d'éjection 9.The second rear plate serves to close the rear of the
La deuxième rainure 27 est nécessaire pour compenser les variations de l'angle β entre la première plaque arrière 21 et la deuxième plaque arrière 24 lors des différents pointages. A titre d'exemple on pourra considérer la
La deuxième rainure 27 a des dimensions et une localisation définies de façon à assurer, lors d'un pointage du berceau avec un site négatif, une diminution de l'angle β entre les première et deuxième plaques arrières.The
La
La
On a remarqué que, dans cette position, l'angle β était à sa valeur minimale. Les galets 23 qui guident la première plaque arrière 21 se trouvent à l'extrémité arrière des chemins 24.It has been noted that in this position the angle β is at its minimum value. The
On remarque aussi que les galets 18 qui guident la plaque supérieure 11 ont suivi la première partie 17a de la première rainure 17 jusqu'à son extrémité. La plaque supérieure 11 est restée parallèle à la plaque de fond 10 au cours de ce mouvement de pointage de l'arme de 0° à -10°.It is also noted that the
La
Dans cette configuration les galets 18 qui guident la plaque supérieure 11 ont suivi la première partie 17a de la première rainure 17 jusqu'à son autre extrémité, juste avant la deuxième partie 17b de la première rainure. La plaque supérieure 11 est restée parallèle à la plaque de fond 10 au cours de ce mouvement de pointage de l'arme de 0° à +30°.In this configuration the
Dans le même temps la première plaque arrière 21 a glissé par ses galets 23 dans les chemins 24 de la plaque de fond 10. La deuxième plaque arrière 24 a accompagné ce mouvement, l'angle β s'est rapproché de 180°.At the same time the first

Dans cette configuration extrême la deuxième plaque arrière 24 est parallèle à la première plaque arrière 21.In this extreme configuration, the second
Concernant la plaque supérieure 11, entre le pointage à +30° et le pointage à +50°, les galets 18 qui la guident ont suivi la deuxième partie 17b de la première rainure 17.As regards the
Cette deuxième partie 17b (voir
La plaque supérieure 11 n'est donc plus parallèle à la plaque de fond 10. L'angle δ entre ces plaques est de l'ordre de 5°.The
Une telle disposition a pour but d'ouvrir d'avantage l'entrée du couloir 12 dans cette configuration de pointage où la direction d'éjection des douilles s'approche d'une orientation parallèle à la plaque de fond 10.Such an arrangement is intended to further open the entrance of the
Une première extrémité du couloir 12 est disposée au voisinage de l'ouverture d'éjection 9 et une deuxième extrémité du couloir est disposée au voisinage d'un magasin 13, qui est fixé à l'affût 5 et qui permet le stockage des douilles éjectées.A first end of the
La
La
Le magasin est destiné à collecter et stocker les douilles de munition (non représentées) éjectées de l'arme 3 et qui lui sont conduites par le couloir 12.The magazine is intended to collect and store ammunition bushings (not shown) ejected from the
Les douilles entrent dans le magasin 13 par l'ouverture 14 qui est positionnée en regard du couloir 12 d'éjection des douilles.The bushings enter the
Selon une caractéristique, le magasin 13 comporte au moins un déflecteur diédrique (ou dièdre) 30 qui est disposé sensiblement en regard de l'ouverture 14 et à distance de celle-ci.According to one characteristic, the
Comme on le voit sur la figure le dièdre 30 comporte deux plans 30a,30b formant un premier angle λ entre eux. Cet angle est ici de 90°.As seen in the figure the
Par ailleurs le bord 31 d'intersection des plans 30a et 30b est incliné d'un deuxième angle µ par rapport à la paroi 13a portant l'ouverture 14. L'angle µ est ici de 45°.Furthermore the
Le déflecteur 30 est réalisé en tôle pliée. Le but de ces angles λ et µ est le suivant :
- Lorsqu'une douille entre dans le magasin 13
par l'ouverture 14 elle est animée d'une vitesse relativement importante (5 à 10 m/s). Elle risquerait de rebondir sur la paroi arrière 13c du magasin et de revenir vers l'ouverture 14 où elle perturberait l'entrée des douilles suivantes. Un amas de douille risquerait aussi de se créer en face de l'ouverture 14.
- When a bushing enters the
magazine 13 through theopening 14 it is driven by a relatively high speed (5 to 10 m / s). It could bounce on therear wall 13c of the store and return to theopening 14 where it would disrupt the entrance of the following sockets. A sleeve cluster could also be created in front of theopening 14.
Par ailleurs lorsque l'ouverture 14 se trouve proche d'un plancher 13b du magasin, il y a un risque de voir les douilles s'accumuler devant l'ouverture et de boucher celle-ci.Moreover, when the
Le deuxième angle µ permet de dévier la trajectoire d'une douille impactant le bord 31 du déflecteur 30. La douille se trouve dirigée vers le plafond 41 du magasin du fait de l'orientation de ce bord 31. Elle sera donc conduite à se loger dans d'autres zones de l'enceinte 29 et à ne pas encombrer l'espace devant l'ouverture 14.The second angle μ deflects the trajectory of a bushing impacting the
Le premier angle λ a une fonction analogue. Les douilles qui impactent le déflecteur 30 au niveau du plan de droite 30a iront se loger dans la partie D de l'enceinte 29 à droite de l'ouverture 14. Inversement, les douilles qui impactent le déflecteur 30 au niveau du plan de gauche 30b iront se loger dans la partie G de l'enceinte 29 à gauche de l'ouverture 14.The first angle λ has a similar function. The bushings which impact the
On remarque sur la
Les dispositions relatives des deux déflecteurs sont telles que les orientations de leurs plans sont sensiblement symétriques par rapport à ce plan géométrique.The relative provisions of the two deflectors are such that the orientations of their planes are substantially symmetrical with respect to this geometric plane.
Ainsi le deuxième déflecteur 32 comporte lui aussi deux plans 32a et 32b qui forment entre eux un angle γ. Ici la valeur de l'angle γ est égale à celle de l'angle λ (90°). Une valeur différente pour ces angles serait bien entendu possible.Thus the
Par ailleurs le bord 34 d'intersection des plans 32a et 32b est incliné d'un angle σ par rapport à la paroi 13a portant l'ouverture 14. La valeur de l'angle σ est ici égale à celle de l'angle µ (45°). Une valeur différente pour ces angles serait bien entendu possible.Furthermore, the
Suivant le mode de réalisation qui est décrit, il y a une symétrie totale entre le premier dièdre 30 et le deuxième dièdre 32 par rapport au plan perpendiculaire à la paroi avant 13a et passant par le sommet 33 des déflecteurs 30 et 32.According to the embodiment which is described, there is a total symmetry between the
Le deuxième dièdre 32 complète les fonctions du premier dièdre 30. Les douilles qui impactent son bord 34 sont renvoyées vers le premier dièdre 30. Elles impacteront l'un ou l'autre des plans 30a ou 30b de ce dernier pour être renvoyées vers les côtés de gauche G ou de droite D de l'enceinte 29. Les douilles qui impactent le second déflecteur 32 au niveau du plan de droite 32a iront se loger dans la partie D de l'enceinte 29 à droite de l'ouverture 14. Inversement, les douilles qui impactent le déflecteur 32 au niveau du plan de gauche 32b iront se loger dans la partie G de l'enceinte 29 à gauche de l'ouverture 14.The
Ce double déflecteur est complété par des premières plaques latérales 35a et 35b qui s'étendent entre chacun des plans 30a ou 30b du premier déflecteur 30 et une paroi arrière 13c du magasin.This double deflector is completed by
Ces premières plaques latérales 35a et 35b sont inclinées par rapport à la paroi avant 13a portant l'ouverture 14. On a représenté sur la figure l'angle ϕ entre la paroi arrière 13c et la plaque 35a. Dans la configuration représentée ici la paroi arrière 13c est parallèle à la paroi avant 13a du magasin. L'angle ϕ représente donc aussi l'inclinaison de la première plaque latérale 35a par rapport à la paroi avant 13a.These
Le déflecteur est enfin complété par des deuxièmes plaques latérales 36a et 36b. Chaque deuxième plaque latérale 36a ou 36b s'étend à partir du bord d'un des plans 30a ou 30b du premier dièdre. Ces deuxièmes plaques latérales sont inclinées par rapport à la paroi avant 13a du magasin et s'étendent jusqu'à la première plaque latérale 35a ou 35b située du même côté du dièdre.The baffle is finally completed by
On a représenté ainsi à la
Les première et deuxième plaques latérales ont pour but d'opposer aux douilles qui entrent dans l'enceinte 29 des obstacles inclinés qui dévient la trajectoire des douilles et les orientent latéralement, vers la gauche ou vers la droite suivant les plaques considérées.The first and second side plates are intended to oppose the sockets entering the
Ainsi, à titre d'exemple, une douille qui impacte la seconde plaque latérale 36a sera guidée vers la première plaque latérale 35a qui éjectera la douille vers la partie droite D du magasin à distance du déflecteur 30.Thus, by way of example, a bushing which impacts the
Toute cette architecture concourt à une répartition régulière des douilles dans le magasin vers la gauche ou vers la droite ce qui permet d'éviter un encombrement axial devant l'ouverture 14.All this architecture contributes to a regular distribution of the sleeves in the magazine to the left or to the right which avoids an axial space in front of the
On remarque enfin à la
Les
Ce mode ne diffère du précédent que par la présence de deux cloisons 39a et 39b qui sont situées de part et d'autre du déflecteur 30. Ces cloisons sont solidaires des deuxième plaques latérales 36a ou 36b et elles s'étendent chacune entre la paroi avant 13a et la paroi arrière 13c. Chaque cloison 39a,39b s'étend par ailleurs verticalement des plaques latérales 36a, 36b jusqu'à un plan intermédiaire 40 qui est situé à une distance d du plafond 41 du magasin 13 (voir
Comme on le voit plus particulièrement sur la
Cette inclinaison a pour but d'orienter les douilles latéralement vers la gauche G ou vers la droite D lors d'un impact sur les cloisons.This inclination is intended to orient the sleeves laterally to the left G or to the right D during an impact on the partitions.
Comme on l'a représenté à la
Une telle disposition permet de garnir l'enceinte de stockage 29 du magasin pratiquement jusqu'au plan intermédiaire 40 sans que les douilles ne viennent encombrer le magasin devant l'ouverture 14. On remarque que l'ouverture 14 a son bord inférieur qui est situé bien en dessous du plan intermédiaire 40. L'ouverture 14 reste dégagée pour recevoir les douilles grâce aux cloisons 39a et 39b qui empêchent les douilles déjà dans le magasin de venir obturer l'ouverture 14. Il est ainsi possible de concevoir un magasin compact dans lequel l'ouverture 14 est très proche du plancher 13b, voire au niveau du plancher 13b lui même.Such an arrangement makes it possible to fill the
