E. SCHNEIDER. BARREL CARRIAGE 0F ORDNANCE.
APPLICATION FILED MAY I5. 19!?- 1,280,559.
Patented 060.1.1918.
E H \G UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
EUGENE SCHNEIDER, 0F LE CREUZOT, FRANCE, ASSIGNOR TO SCHNEIDER 82; CIE., PARIS, FRANCE, A LIMITED JOINT STOCK COMPANY OF FRANCE.
BARREL-CARRIAGE 0F ORDNANCE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Oct. 1, 1918.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EUGENE SCHNEIDER, a citizen of the French Republic, and residing at Le Creuzot, SaGne-et-Loire, France, have invented a new and useful Improvement in or Relating to the Barrel-Carriages of Ordnance, which is fully set forth in the following specification.
In the French Patent No. 463988 there is described a carriage for dismounting a gun barrel and for transporting the same after it has been separated from its carriage, characterized by the feature that theaxle of the rear carriage is adapted to receive directly the dismounted gun barrel, the said rear carriage comprising for this purpose a cradle-like structure.
The present invention has now for its object to provide an eminently practical improved construction of this cradle-like structure (hereafter termed cradle) of the rear carriage.
The manner in which this invention is to be performed will now be more particularly described with reference to the accompanying drawings which illustrate by wa of example one form of the invention. 11 these drawings:
Figure 1 is an elevation of the rear carriage axle, partly in vertical section along the longitudinal center line of the axle; and
Fig. 2 is a vertical cross section, partly in elevation, on theline IIII of Fig. l.
Accordingto this invention, the half collar or cradle A, instead of being made in one piece with the axle B, is suspended elastically from said axle. For this purpose the cradle which constitutes an mdependent part of the axle, comprises two under extensions A A of its inverted arch, two fork-like projections C C which straddle the axle B. Each of these forks carries be tween the lower parts of its limbs one of the abutments, such as a box D for a shockabsorbing device (metal springs or other box D. The abutment carried by the axle consists of a washer F held by means of a nut f at an adjustable point along a bolt G that is screwed in a tapped hole in the axle B and is fixed by a pin 9.
In order to avoid a sudden shock between the axle and the end d of a box D due to the oscillation of the axle, a Belleville washer H is arranged around a shoulder on the bolt Gr. All longitudinal movement of the axle relative to the cradle is prevented by stops In between which the limbs of the forks C are guided and held.
Having now described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. A rear gun carriage comprising a gunsupporting cradle having depending forked members, a wheeled axle provided with vertical guides for receiving said forked members, depending suspension rods fast to said axle, and abutments fast to the lower ends of said forks and yieldingly supported by said suspension members.
2. A rear gun carriage as claimed in claim 1 wherein said abutments comprise spring barrels adapted to be secured to the lower EUGENE SCHNEIDER.
