Abstract
464,691. Gun mountings for use on aircraft. SHORT BROS. (ROCHESTER & BEDFORD), Ltd., and GOUGE, A. Oct. 22, 1935, No. 29119. [Class 92 (i)] [Also in Group XXXIII] A flying boat is fitted with a central gun or two side-byside guns pivoted for fore-and-aft elevational adjustment and adapted to fire downwards through an aperture or apertures in the hull, the pivot being so located that, when firing directly downwards, the recoil is directed towards the centre of gravity of the aircraft, means being provided for closing the aperture or apertures in a watertight manner when the gun or guns are withdrawn into the boat. The pivoting point is preferably arranged at such a distance immediately below the centre of gravity that the desired arc of fire is obtained with the aperture space available. Fig. 1 shows a single gun b pivotally movable on trunnions b<1> supported from the wing structure by a pyramidal frame b<2>. The gun fires through a longitudinal aperture a<1> which is closed by a watertight plug when the gun is withdrawn to occupy the horizontal position shown. A gimbal joint at b<1> permits a limited transverse adjustment of the gun across the width of the aperture. Fig. 3 shows a pair of guns supported by a common pivot e<3> on a frame e<4>. Each gun can be moved transversely on a pivot e<2>.
