Abstract

1,061,325. Gun carriages. RHEINMETALL G.m.b.H. July 21, 1965 [July 28, 1964], No. 31031/65. Heading F3C. A gun carriage comprises a box-type frame 1 of approximately rhomboid form to one end of which is connected a ground wheel supporting axle 3 and to the other a swingle tree 6 pivotable about an axis 7 lying in a plane passing through the vertical longitudinal axis of the carriage. The supporting axle 3 houses a torsion bar 23 to the ends of which are connected by spring arms 4, the ground wheel 5 of the carriage. The swingle tree 6 is provided at its extremities with ground spurs 9 and comparatively hard shock absorbers 10 connect these extremities with the frame 1. Compensating springs such as coil springs 22 or alternatively rotating bar springs may be mounted between the swingle tree 6 and the frame 1. Steerable and raisable wheels 11 are provided at the swingle tree end of the frame. The ground wheels 5 are driven through gearing by a hydraulic motor and the outer ends of the sprung arms are guided in guide rails of the frame 1 (Fig. 4 not shown). The springing of the ground wheels is locked during firing by a hydraulic cylinder and lever arrangement.
