Definitions

  • the technical field of the invention is that of containers for large caliber ammunition (40 mm to 155 mm).
  • Ammunition of this caliber is often fragile and sophisticated and therefore requires a high-performance protective packaging.
  • a package comprises a container which contains many cushioning elements and protection of the ammunition.
  • the claws are by default kept open by the elastic effect of their structure. A wedge comes to press the claws on the hoof of the arrow and thus immobilize the munition when the ammunition is pushed into the holster.
  • Such a device is unsatisfactory because it can only be used for ammunition with a shoe.
  • ammunition is often stored in its container for long periods of time in thermal environments that cause the degradation of claw elasticity, making ammunition extraction very difficult over time.
  • the invention proposes to solve this problem of degradation of the mechanical characteristics of the setting of the ammunition and proposes a more versatile container in terms of types of ammunition to be packaged.
  • the subject of the invention is an ammunition container which can be closed at least at a rear end, and intended to enclose an ammunition which is wedged radially in the container by a case which is movable in translation between a front position and a rear position when the rear end of the container is open, ammunition container characterized in that the case has at least one transverse slot in which a jaw can slide radially, slot forming a guide rail of the jaw, which jaw is intended to partially penetrate a groove of the munition in order to immobilize in longitudinal translation the ammunition relative to the case, the jaw comprising at least one guide pin which is intended to slide in a groove of the container forming a ramp which is arranged such that the translation of the case towards its rear position causes the jaw to move apart ort to the longitudinal axis of the container and that, conversely, the translation of the holster to its front position causes the approximation of the jaw and the longitudinal axis of the container.
  • the rear end of the case is out of the container.
  • the container comprises a ramp support which carries the ramp receiving the guide finger and which surrounds the case, the case being able to translate relative to the ramp support.
  • the ramp support comprises at least one stop intended to interfere with the container to stop the translation of the ramp support at the end of its travel.
  • the container comprises at least two jaws each disposed in a slot, the slots being distributed around the axis of the container, all the jaws being intended to fit into the same groove of the munition.
  • a container 1 for ammunition contains a munition 2 which comprises a projectile 2a and a socket 2b closed by a base 2c.
  • the rear end AR of the container 1 is closed by a cap 3.
  • the front ends AV and rear AR of the container 1 comprise handles 4 for handling the container 1.
  • the ammunition 2 is wedged radially by a case 5 supported by its external cylindrical wall on annular spans 6 of the container 1.
  • the case 5 is wedged longitudinally at its front face 5a by its support on a wall of the bottom of the barrel. before AV of the container 1 and at its rear part by pressing on an inner face of the cap 3.
  • the ammunition 2 is blocked longitudinally at a peripheral groove 8, arranged on the body of the projectile 2a, by two jaws 9, integral with the container 1, and penetrating into the groove 8.
  • Each jaw 9 passes through the wall of the case 5 at the level of slots 10 which form transverse slides to the case 2 in which the jaws 9 can translate radially.
  • the slots 10 are located vis-à-vis.
  • each jaw 9 comprises two guiding fingers 12 perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 11 of the container 1 and in the direction of translation of the jaws 9.
  • Each finger 12 is located so as to flow in a ramp 13 of the wall of the container 1 (see figures 1 and 6 ).
  • Each ramp 13 is oriented so that its forward end AV is closer to the longitudinal axis 11 of the container 1 than its rearward end AR. Each ramp 13 thus forms an angle ⁇ with the longitudinal axis 11. This angle ⁇ will be chosen by those skilled in the art so that, when the guide pin 12 of a jaw 9 is located towards the front of the ramp 13, then the jaw 9 is engaged in the groove 8 and when the finger 12 is located towards the rear of the ramp 13, the jaw 9 is completely out of the groove 8.
  • the container is open at its rear portion AR by removing the cap visible to the figure 1 .
  • the case 5 is translated relative to the container 1 on a stroke of length D. It will be noted that when the case 5 is in this so-called rear position, the jaws 9 are completely out of the groove 9 while in the forward position. (visible at figure 1 ) the jaws 9 penetrate part of the groove 8 of the ammunition 2 while still being guided in their slots 10.
  • the length D of the race will be chosen preferentially by those skilled in the art so that the base 2c of the ammunition 2 can protrude outside the container 5.
  • An indentation 5c in the rear part of the case 5 allows the seizure of the base 2c of the ammunition 2 and its extraction as seen in the figure 3 .
  • the guiding fingers 12 of the jaws 9 travel along the ramps 13 in the direction of penetration of the jaws 9 into the groove 8 of the munition 2.
  • the invention makes it possible to avoid the problems of degradation of the holding means according to the prior art.
  • the holding means proposed by the invention remain functional regardless of the storage duration or the storage thermal conditions.
  • any munition having a judiciously placed groove may be placed in a container according to the invention.
  • an arrow munition has a groove 8 at its shoe 30 and can thus be maintained in a container according to the invention.
  • the container 1 differs from the previous mode in that it comprises a ramp support 20.
  • This support 20 is located between the inner wall of the container 1 and a front portion of the case 5 and is intended to translate into the container 1 during the translation of the case 5.
  • the support 20 provides a translational guide of the case 5.
  • the end of the ramp support 20 comprises a stop 14 intended to interfere with a bearing surface 6 of the container 1 at the end of a stroke of length D in order to stop the translation of the ramp support 20 towards the rear AR of the container 1.
  • the ammunition will have traveled a distance equal to the sum of the orthogonal projection of a ramp 13 on the longitudinal axis 11 of the container 1 and the race D of translation of the ramp support 20.
  • the munition has several grooves parallel to each other, each groove being intended to receive at least one jaw.
