Abstract

577,338. Machine guns. PATCHETT, G. W., and EXACTOR CONTROL CO., Ltd. Feb. 18, 1944, No. 3042. [Class 92 (ii)] Relates to machine guns or cannon of the kind which are operated by an external source of power such as an electric motor 26 driving a crank shaft 25 which reciprocates a breech block 5 through the medium of a crank pin 23 and connecting-rod 8. According to the invention, the firing-pin 12 is operated, through a push-rod 15 housed in the connecting rod, by a cam or eccentric 22 fast with the crank pin. The invention is shown applied to a pair of guns driven by a single motor through a pair of crank arms arranged for firing the guns alternately. Fig. 3 shows a motor 26 which drives the crank shaft through the medium of clutch elements 46, 47 brought into engagement either by a handle 52 or by a rotary cam 45 operating a bell crank 53 thus enabling intermittent bursts of fire to be obtained. Spring plungers 35 prevent the full closing movement of the blocks under the action of the residual momentum after power is cut off. Specification 464,022, [Group XXVII], is referred to.
