Abstract
607,840. Automatic firearms. BRISTOL AEROPLANE CO., Ltd., and FONSECA, E. C. M. D'ASSIS-. Feb. 12, 1946, No. 4418. [Class 92 (ii)] Belted ammunition 6 is fed to an automatic firearm 7 by mechanism having control means such as a plate 15, means being provided to receive a loop of the ammunition the arms of which loop are sufficiently close together that the loop is rigid in a lengthwise direction, and the arrangement being such that loads imposed on the plate tending to bring the mechanism into operation are applied to and resisted by the rigid loop. In the construction shown, the belt is assisted towards the gun by spaced sprockets 5 on a shaft driven by a motor which is in circuit with a switch 12. If the gun is fired when the. loop is depressing a spring- pressed plate 15 the ammunition is drawn towards the gun without the assistance of the sprockets 5 because the plate is depressing a pin 17 serving to open the switch 12. As the loop, and therefore the plate 15, lifts however, the pin 17 disengages the switch and the motor drives the sprockets. The drive continues after firing ceases until the loop once again depresses the plate 17.
