Abstract

1,083,440. Handling depth charges. BOFORS A.B. June 30, 1966 [June 30, 1965], No. 29512/66. Heading B7A. [Also in Division F3] A projectile feed system for a depth charge launcher comprises two rotatable cylindrical magazines 11, 12 and a hoist 1, 2, 3, 4. The cylindrical magazines are disposed adjacent each other and are each provided with a plurality of open ended, non-radial, parallel sided slots to form compartments for reception of the projectiles. In the projectile feed position a compartment of one magazine is directly opposite a compartment of the other magazine, these two compartments having a common medial plane spaced from and parallel to the plane containing the axes of the magazines. The hoist 1, 2, 3, 4 is arranged to carry projectiles in the two compartments upwardly to the firing tubes of the weapon and is disposed on the side of the common medial plane remote from the plane containing the axes of the magazines. The magazines may be driven in opposite directions by a common driving mechanism. In the construction shown the hoisting tray 4 is provided with guide members 5, 6 which come into contact with the hoist shaft 1 to prevent lateral movement of the tray during operation. Additional storage containers may be provided adjacent the magazines (Fig. 3, not shown).
