Definitions

  • the technical field of the invention is that of linking tools for linked ammunition strips and ammunition compartments comprising such tools.
  • Ammunition for automatic weapons firing in bursts is commonly supplied with ammunition by so-called chained ammunition strips, that is to say where each ammunition is linked to at least one neighboring ammunition via at least one link.
  • This tool makes it possible to link a first strip of link ammunition to a second strip of link ammunition thanks to a link ammunition.
  • the connecting ammunition is placed on a support which wedges it longitudinally and radially.
  • it is a tube in which the ammunition is partially engaged by its warhead.
  • a lever capable of pivoting relative to a support comprises a pusher intended to push radially in the direction of the ammunition, a first link of the first band.
  • the links Once the links have been pushed and clipped onto the ammunition, they are then coaxial with each other and with the ammunition and thus link the first end of the first band to the second end of the second band.
  • the invention proposes to solve this problem of convenience of implementation and removal of the tooling for the operations of linking bands of ammunition.
  • the invention relates to a tool intended to link one end of a first strip of link ammunition to one end of a second strip of link ammunition thanks to a link ammunition
  • tool comprising at least one support intended to wedge radially and longitudinally the connecting ammunition
  • tool comprising a lever articulated relative to the support, lever comprising a pusher intended to interfere with at least one link of one end of the first strip and to push radially with respect to the ammunition the at least one link to a second position where the at least one link is coaxial with the ammunition
  • tool characterized in that it comprises a frame integral with the support and which can be secured with a rack containing a strip of ammunition, frame comprising first and second contiguous parts and pivoting relative to each other around of an axis parallel to the articulation of the lever in order to allow the easy removal of the tools, frame comprising a means of blocking the pivoting of the parts.
  • the pusher is also in contact with a second link of one end of the second band.
  • the lever comprises a retractable handle.
  • a connecting tool 100 comprises a lever 1 articulated relative to a frame 2, frame 2 comprising a support 3.
  • the support 3 comprises two parallel strips 15 fixed to the frame 2 and on which are made indentations 16a and 16b which are intended to receive and position ammunition from the band.
  • each bar 15 has a central notch 16a and two side notches 16b and that the middle notch 16a is located lower than the side notches 16b. The reasons for such an arrangement will be specified later.
  • the frame 2 also comprises a first and a second part 2a and 2b, contiguous and interconnected by a hinge 4 capable of causing these parts to pivot relative to each other around an axis 4a parallel to the joint 6 of lever 1.
  • a blocking means 9 authorizes or blocks the pivoting of the first and of the second part 2a and 2b relative to each other.
  • Lever 1 comprises a pusher 7 arranged opposite its articulated end 6, as well as an operating handle 8, handle retractable by pivoting relative to lever 1 about an axis 17.
  • first chained ammunition strip 10 and one end of a second chained ammunition strip 11 are arranged across the frame 2.
  • linked ammunition strip means a series of ammunition parallel to each other and connected between them by links so as to form a strip of ammunition.
  • the end of the first strip of ammunition 10 comprises an empty link 10a positioned coaxially with an empty link 11a of the end of the second strip of ammunition 11 and above an ammunition 12, called connecting ammunition 12.
  • Each link 10a and 11a has an opening which is oriented towards the connecting munition 12.
  • the connecting munition 12 is wedged axially and radially by the central notches 16a of the support 3 with which it cooperates and visible to the figure 1 .
  • the support 3 comprises lateral indentations 16b located in the vicinity of the edges of the first part 2a of the frame 2. These indentations cooperate with ammunition of each strip 10 and 11 in order to wedge the strips 10 and 11 for reasons of convenience for holding the bands 10 and 11 in position across the frame.
  • Pusher 7 of lever 1 is located in a first position where it interferes with the top of empty links 10a and 11a of bands 10 and 11.
  • Each link comprises a central stirrup C and two lateral stirrups L.
  • the central stirrup C of a link cooperating with the lateral stirrups L of an adjacent link so as to form a pivot connection around each ammunition.
  • the empty link 10a of the first band 10 is for example a central stirrup C and it will interfere with the side stirrups L of the empty link 11a of the second band 11.
  • the central stirrup C of the empty link 10a is located under the side stirrups L of the empty link 11a, the pusher 7 bears on the side stirrups L therefore only with the empty link 11a which will cause the clipping of the two links 10a and 11a on the ammunition.
  • the 2 strips 10 and 11 are then linked together in a simple, safe and effective way, even in a cramped environment such as that of an ammunition rack 14.
