Abstract

1321892 Line projecting guns FLIGHT REFUELLING Ltd 16 July 1971 [17 July 1970] 34813/70 Heading F3X A gas powered line projecting gun arranged ' to eject a projectile containing a contact line coupled to a grapnel assembly comprises means which is tripped by the insertion of the projectile into the barrel 9 of the gun and by which when tripped the supply of compressed air to a chamber 11 of the gun is cut-off and the compressed air in the chamber is applied to the projectile to eject the projectile from the gun. In the construction shown a main valve 24 forming part of the valve assembly closes the chamber 11 from the barrel, the pressure on the valve 24 being partly balanced by the pressure on a balance valve 25 and the valve 24 being held in its cocked position by the co-operation of a D- shaped cam on a rotatable shaft with an abutment 22 on the shaft 23 of the main valve 24. The cam carrying shaft is operatively connected through a lever 16 and link 17 to a normally open valve in the barrel 9 (Fig. 3, not shown), the projectile closing the normally open valve during its insertion into the barrel, rotating the cam and releasing the main valve 24. A cocking lever 29 which co-operates with a button 2 on the main valve shaft 23 is provided.
