Abstract

1,266,767. Recuperator mechanism for guns. RHEINMETALL G.m.b.H. 30 May, 1969 [6 July, 1968], No. 27479/69. Heading F3C. A gun has a pneumatic barrel recuperator the recuperator comprising a pair of piston and cylinder assemblies 1, 8; 2, 11 connected mechanically in parallel as by an entrainment means 4 of a breech plate 5 of the barrel 6. One 1, 8 of the piston and cylinder assemblies is arranged in normal use to act constantly on the barrel 6 of the gun whereas the other 2, 11 of the assemblies has a lost motion connection relative to the barrel. To this end energy, e.g. in the form of pressurized oil, can be fed to and stored in the other assembly 2, 11 and released at an appropriate point in the recoil of the gun. The pressurized oil is supplied by a hand pump 15 through a one way valve 19 and two changeover valves 27, 16. If the barrel recoils sufficiently to be returned by the action of both assemblies without the aforesaid energy, i.e. a distance x, the valve 16 is actuated by a trigger 20 on the barrel to vent the pressurized oil to a reservoir 14. If it is desired to retract the barrel of the gun for travelling purposes pressurized oil is fed to the assembly 1, 8 by changing over valve 27. The assembly 1, 8 is vented of oil through a valve 26.
