Abstract

515,423. Cartridge feeding devices for guns. BIRKIGT, M. April 7, 1938, No. 10723. Convention date, Feb. 24. [Classes 92 (i) and 92 (ii)] Relates to cartridge loading devices for guns, particularly for automatic guns mounted on aircraft, in which the recoil movement of the gun 1 as a whole is minimised by a muzzle brake 15 associated with recoil spring devices 13, and consists in providing a stationary loading device 22. The loading device shown is of the drum type pivotally connected at 25<1> to a frame 25 which has sliding engagement with the breech casing 2 but is fixed to the gun support 3 by a depending finger 28. A catch 27 on the frame 25 is released to enable the magazine to be turned about its pivot on the frame to facilitate removal. The -magazine has lips 23 which protrude into an elongated slot in the breech casing. The muzzle brake and spring system shown are of known type, the latter including a recoil spring 13 and an air dash pot 19 for checking and cushioning the parts at the end of run-out. The gun shown is mounted to slide at 10 on an aircraft engine and is adapted to fire through the hollow propeller shaft 4.
