Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of medium-caliber ammunition handling and relates in particular to the attachment and / or detachment of the latter within a flexible band or chain, meshed with ammunition placed or deposited at the level of any support, in any external environment or interior (vehicle, turret, ).
  • the invention relates more particularly to a tool for attaching to a band of ammunition and / or to detach from the band ammunition of medium caliber, that is to say typically between 15 and 50 mm.
  • the invention can however apply a priori to all types of chained ammunition and to all devices whose transported elements are connected by a band or chain formed by links having specific assembly characteristics so as to allow the introduction of the tool according to the present invention.
  • the ammunition strips considered in the context of the present invention consist of cartridges clipped into a strip or flexible chain using links or metal links.
  • the figures 1 and 2 show views of such links, alone and in association with a cartridge.
  • the link itself 10 consists of a first portion 11 and a second portion 12, generally articulated to one another.
  • the second portion 12 comprises a central loop or loop 13, with respect to the height of the link 10, defining an approximately semi-cylindrical opening, dimensioned to fit on the bushing 21 of a cartridge 20 of given caliber.
  • the first part 11 comprises two loops 14, 15 of this type but located, in height, respectively on either side of the central loop 13.
  • Each of these loops 13, 14, 15 has at its free ends a small loop 16 oriented in the other direction, so as to define a flare allowing easy introduction or removal of the cartridge.
  • the upper loop 14 of the first portion 11 is extended by a substantially flat and rectangular portion 17 extending upwards and the lower loop 15 of the first portion 11 is extended downward by a substantially flat portion 18, terminated by a finger 19 which is inserted into the extraction groove 22 of the cartridge 20 to ensure the correct alignment of the cartridge in the chain.
  • WO 2013/122541 A1 discloses a tool for attaching and / or detaching one ammunition relative to the other following a vertical movement of one vis-à-vis the other.
  • the tool is inserted under the two ammunition, which is why it is necessary to benefit from a certain space under the latter to introduce the tool.
  • the document EP 1 691 164 A1 discloses a tool for the extraction of a munition through a vertical movement thereof.
  • the tool is inserted from the top and pinches the ammunition at the height of the chain.
  • the links are thus disengaged in order to lift the ammunition like a bottle opener.
  • the document GB 538 815 A discloses a tool for removing ammunition from an existing chain by pinching several adjacent ammunition simultaneously to extract the central ammunition therefrom.
  • the present invention aims to provide a solution for the easy handling of medium caliber ammunition.
  • the invention aims to allow the attachment and / or easy and safe stain removal of the latter within a chain of mesillized medium-caliber ammunition placed or deposited at any support.
  • the invention also aims to be able to change at any time the length of the ammunition chain of average caliber (increase or decrease).
  • the invention aims to provide a device designed to integrate easily into the restricted environment allocated inside a turret of a vehicle, in other words a tool of small size, useful and effective.
  • the orifice corresponding to the first movable arm is a circular hole, while the orifice corresponding to the second movable arm is an oblong hole.
  • the gap provided in the oval structure for inserting and connecting an arm has an extension of the opening at the outer rounded sides of the oval to allow an indifferently used right or left of the tool and of reversible way, relative to the orientation of the links of the ammunition chain.
  • the tooling 30 comprises two arms 31, 32, for example initially parallel, but of which at least one of them, preferably both, may be rotated in a plane completely independently of one another.
  • the two arms 31, 32 are inserted in a fixed (non-rotating) structure 33 intended to be placed in the upper position relative to the medium-caliber ammunition chain (that is to say, in relation to the balls or warheads) and oval geometric shape.
  • the tooling will be described with the arms arranged horizontally but in use, the angular position of the arms may be different from the horizontal (for example when the ammunition chain is lying on the ground).
  • the upper structure 33 comprises two circular circular apertures 34, 35, that is to say the crossing on both sides from top to bottom. Inside each of these orifices is arranged, possibly with adequate clearance, a respective hollow vertical cylindrical structure 36, 37, extending vertically and downwards.
  • the arms 31, 32 are integral with the respective cylindrical structures 36, 37.
  • the arms 31, 32 are attached to or inserted into the structures 36, 37 and a rotational movement of at least one of these structures is allowed by the actuation of the arms.
  • the arms are terminated by a circular collar having the same internal diameter as the orifices of the oval structure 33. They are inserted into a gap 44 provided in the oval structure 33, this gap 44 being designed to allow rotation and rotation. use indifferently right or left (relative to the orientation of the links), reversibly, thanks to the extension of the opening at the outer rounded sides of the structure 33.
  • each of the respective structures 36, 37 comprises a cover having a groove 38, 39 positioned along the axis of the cylindrical structure and intended to fit the shape of the upper plate 17 of the first part 11 of the links 10 of the ammunition chain of medium caliber.
  • the cover 38 is secured to the structure 33 and therefore fixed, while the cover 39 is secured to the mobile structure 37, so with the arm 32 mobile in rotation
  • the structures 36, 37 are each provided on their outer edge with a short lateral portion 40, 41 slightly curved to fit the cylindrical shape of the sleeve.
  • the cylindrical structure 37 located on the right is provided in the extension of the corresponding short portion 41 of a finger 42 also slightly cylindrical having a protuberance 43 on its left.
  • the tool according to the invention is presented with respect to the ammunition chain of medium caliber as indicated on the figure 5 .
  • the left arm 31 and the right arm 32 (seen from the rear of the device) are moved away from the parallel starting position of the arms.
  • the finger 42 which rotates with the arm 31 inwardly by virtue of its protuberance 43, will act as a lever on the central handle 13 of the second link portion enclosing the cartridge 20 and that it is desired to detach , and more precisely by a push on the small loop 16 of this link, which will deviate at this point the central handle 13.
  • the left arm 32 By turning in the opposite direction of the clockwise, the left arm 32 will further accentuate opening the loop 13 and reinforcing the spacing of the loop 16, the adjacent cartridge 20A and the first link portion being rotated with the arm 32, which blocks the top plate 17 of the link in the groove 39. An extra effort is exerted via the hinge between the first and the second link part.
  • the movement / mechanical stress relative to the attachment and / or detachment of the ammunition is further insignificant following the extremely easy rotation of the two arms.
  • the invention is characterized by the possibility of attaching and / or detaching medium-caliber ammunition in a single movement by means of a single device by inducing a limited transverse movement of ammunition at their links. It is no longer necessary to twist the chain to cause the magnification of the loop of the link, or to solicit the elasticity of the metal links.
  • the orifice 35 located in the separating portion is an oblong hole (wider by a few mm with respect to the through hole 34). Its function is to take into account the geometry of the link linked to the ammunition during the opening. Indeed, as this geometry is not exactly that of a semicircle, it requires to provide a slight spatial shift at the time of the attachment of one ammunition on the next.
  • the reduced thickness of the tool makes it quite possible to introduce or position with ease it between the top of the ammunition and the roof of the conveyor.
