Definitions

  • the technical field of the invention is that of extraction devices of sockets inserted into a weapon.
  • a munition is classically composed of a projectile crimped at the end of a case containing a charge of propellant powder which is fired by the percussion of a primer located in the center of the base which closes the other end of the holster, case more commonly known as socket. Once the shot is fired, only the socket remains in the chamber of the weapon.
  • the socket can either be removed from the weapon manually or automatically by means of an extraction claw which fits into a groove located around the base of the cap to pull the empty sleeve out of the chamber of the weapon as disclosed by the patent FR2715720 .
  • the invention finds application for weapons systems firing ammunition socket made of ferromagnetic material, for example steel, and proposes to solve the problem of extraction of the last drawn socket.
  • the invention relates to a bushing extraction device of ferromagnetic material, characterized in that it comprises a rod integral at a first end of a magnet which is intended to attract a sleeve inserted into a chamber weapon, magnet strong enough to extract the sleeve of the chamber during a pull on the rod or on the magnet, device comprising a non-magnetic guide surrounding the magnet, and relative to which the magnet can slide by a pull on the rod.
  • the magnet comprises neodymium.
  • the magnet is cylindrical and comprises a ferrite cage enclosing a cylindrical central magnetic core surrounded by an annular recess.
  • the nonmagnetic guide may include at a first end a bell coaxial with the rod, bell having at least at its edge a countersink of internal diameter adapted to correspond with the outer diameter of the base of a socket.
  • the bell may include a housing in which the magnet can slide, the bell being also integral with a hollow cylindrical cane inside which can slide the rod connected to the magnet.
  • the bell may include a compression spring located between the magnet and the bottom of the bell.
  • the cane may comprise at its second end a handle and at least one opening adapted to let slide longitudinally a lever secured to the rod.
  • the face of the magnet intended to adhere to the base of the socket has a face corresponding to the shape of the base of the socket.
  • the nonmagnetic guide may include a tube which is closed by a partition at its end located in the vicinity of a face of the magnet facing outwardly of the device.
  • the yoke 100 of a weapon comprises a chamber (chamber not visible) from which emerges the base 11 of a socket 10.
  • the sleeve is made of a ferromagnetic material, for example steel.
  • This yoke 100 is located behind the inner wall 101 of a turret.
  • the chamber is in front of a duct ejection channel 102 terminated by an outer wall 103 of the turret.
  • Sockets are ejected from the yoke 100 directly and coaxially with the ejection channel 102 to exit a mouth of the channel 102 located in the outer wall 103 of the turret.
  • a sleeve extraction device 10 as detailed in FIG. figure 2 is introduced into the channel 102. It comprises a rectilinear rod 2 having a magnet 4 at a first end located in the vicinity of the cylinder head 100 and a handle 3 at its second end located outside the turret.
  • the magnet 4 may be made of ferrite alloy but will preferably include neodymium for its enhanced properties of magnetic adhesion (magnetic force much higher for a smaller volume).
  • the rod will be made of a non-magnetic material such as aluminum or a plastic material.
  • the magnet 4 is brought into contact with the base 11 of the socket 10 so as to attract the base 11.
  • a pull on the handle 3 towards the outside of the the turret causes the extraction of the sleeve 10 which remains magnetically attached to the magnet 4 and follows the device 1 to the outside of the turret where the sleeve 10 can be manually separated from the magnet 4.
  • the device 1 is placed in the extraction channel 102.
  • the device 1 comprises a tubular tube 7 secured to a bell 5 at its first end and a handle 3 at its second end.
  • the bell 5 constitutes a non-magnetic guide which surrounds the magnet 4 and with respect to which the magnet 4 can slide by traction on the rod 2 secured to the magnet.
  • the rod 7 comprises guide elements 21 for centering the device 1 in the channel 102.
  • the bell 5 has at its most extreme edge a countersink 13 of internal diameter D, adapted to correspond with the outer diameter of the base 11 of a sleeve 10.
  • the bell 5 (non-magnetic guide) is made of non-magnetic material (for example material plastic) and the countersink 13 makes it possible to center the bell 5 on the socket 10, thus avoiding contact and adhesion of the magnet 4, contained in a housing 6 of the bell 5, with any ferrous elements external to the device 1 or with a magnetic mass of the weapon.
  • the magnet 4 has an outer face 4a of shape corresponding to the rear face of the base 11 to increase the surface in contact between the magnet 4 and base 11 to optimize the magnetic adhesion.
  • the magnet 4 is integral with the rod 2.
  • the magnet 4 is able to slide longitudinally in the housing 6 of the bell 5.
  • the rod 2, which is coaxial with the rod 7, is also able to slide longitudinally in the cane 7.
  • a helical compression spring 8 is located between the magnet 4 and the bottom of the bell 5, exerting a pressure to move the magnet away from the bottom of the bell 5.
  • the rod 7 has openings longitudinal 9 passing a lever 12 which is transverse to the rod 2 and secured thereto.
  • the outer face 4a of the magnet 4 is located between the bottom of the counterbore 13 and the edge 5a of the bell 5, so that the most extreme edges of the magnet 4 are located at a distance from the bottom of the counterbore 13.
  • the lever 12 is located near the ends of the openings 9 furthest from the handle 3.
  • a traction then exerted on the rod 7 will be transmitted to the rod 2 by the lever 12.
  • the rod 2 being connected to the magnet, it transmits to the latter the traction exerted on the cane 7.
  • the device 1 is out of the extraction channel with the sleeve 10 at its first end.
  • the housing 6 containing the magnet 4 is of a diameter d smaller than the diameter of the base 11 of the sleeve 10.
  • the base 11 interferes with the bottom of the counterbore 13 thus also placing the base 11 at a distance H from the outer face 4a of the magnet 4.
  • This distance H will be calculated by those skilled in the art so that it is large enough to subtract the sleeve 10 to the magnetic attraction of the magnet 4. It will then be easy to remove the sleeve of the device 4.
  • the skilled person will size the magnet 4 according to the size of the sleeve and the necessary separation force between sleeve and chamber.
  • the magnet 4 is cylindrical and comprises a ferrite cage comprising an outer cylindrical wall 111 and two circular covers 112.
  • the cage contains a cylindrical central magnetic core 110 based on neodymium and which is surrounded by an annular recess 106 coaxial with the magnet.
  • Such a configuration of the magnet makes it possible to implement a magnetic core 110 of smaller dimensions and makes it possible to channel the field lines (arrows F) through the ferrite cage. This limits the electromagnetic disturbances that can be caused by the magnet in its peripheral environment and focuses the magnetic action influencing the outside of the magnet at its poles that are the front face and the rear face of the magnet.
  • the magnet 4 is secured by its rear face with a rod 2 able to push or pull the magnet 4 which is placed in a tube 5 of non-magnetic material forming the non-magnetic guide for the magnet 4.
  • the tube 5 allows to place the magnet in the duct ejection duct 102 visible at the figure 1 while avoiding direct contact with the magnetic masses of the weapon.
  • the tube 5 can be completely or partially closed at its end to provide a bearing surface 11 of the base of the sleeve.
  • the tube 5 comprises a partition 113 which closes it and which will interpose between the base of the sleeve 10 and the magnet 4.
  • the magnet 4 magnetically attracts the base 11 through the partition.
  • the partition 113 By pulling the tube 5 out of the conduit, the partition 113 directly drives the magnet 4 and the sleeve is extracted.
