Definitions

  • This invention relates to guns with a rail- 7 way gun carriage, and the object of the invention is to devise an arrangement which enables the frame of the gun carriage to be effectively supported when the gun is fired and which does not weight the gun carriage during transport.
  • Fig. 2 is a portion of Fig. lfon a larger scale
  • Fig. 3 is a View corresponding to Fig. 2 with altered details, partially in section.
  • Fig. 4 shows on a still larger scale'the portion of the supporting carriage shown in Fig. 2 in the firing position, partially in side elevation and partially in section, and
  • Fig. 5 is a section on the line 55 of Fig.
  • the railway gun carriage has'a frame A, which is carried on two bogies 'B, B (see Fig. 1). Between these two bogies is arranged a carriage C (see Fig. 1) which is coupled to the front bogie by a connecting rod D or the like.
  • the frame A of the gun carriage canbe engaged with the frame C (see Figs. 2, 4: and 5) of the carriage by means of two jacks E, which are adjustable vertically and relatively to the frame A.
  • each jack E is provided with a screw thread 6 (Fig. 5) which engages in a female screw thread a in a box-shaped cross piece a of the frame A.
  • Each jack E is driven by means of a pair of bevel wheels e e mounted on the frame A and adapted to be rotated by means of a hand wheel 6 Between the frame C and the wheel axles C (see Figs. 2 and 4) of the carriage C supporting springs F are inserted.
  • blocks Hintended to rest on therails G' are movably connected to the frame C by vertical screw spindles 5 (see Figs. 4 and 5).
  • Each screw spindle J engages in a female screw thread in a bevel wheel i .which.'is prevented from moving vertically by stops 0 on the frame
  • the bevel wheel 1 gears into a bevel wheel 71 the shaft i of which is mounted in the frame C and carries a hand wheel '5'.
  • a head i which forms the lower end' of the screw spindle J is passed a leaf spring (see Figs. 4 and 5) the ends of which engage'in guides 71, (see Fig. at) in the pressure block H.
  • On the pressure block are provided abutments 72. for the heads i of the spindles J against which the spindles can be supported after corresponding fiexion of the springs K.
  • the pressure blocks II are lifted off the rails (see Figs. 1 and 2), and the jacks E are so adjusted that clearance is left between their lower ends and the frame C of the carriage C.
  • the carriage C therefore runs idly.
  • the pressure blocks are let down so far by rotating the hand wheels 2" that the said pressure blocks rest on the rails Gr.
  • the jacks E are then also set up on the frame C of the carriage C by rotating the hand wheels e (see Figs. at and 5).
  • the gun is fired the bogies B B of the railway carriage take up a portion of the recoil exerted on the frame A of the gun carriage as the frame can bend to the extent to which the frame C of the carriage C yields against the action of the-springs F and Ii.
  • This movement of the frame C ceases immediately the spindles J come into contact with the abutments 71, on the pressure blocks H. From this instant the frame of the gun carriage is rigid? supported against the pressure blocks. 11 this way the recoil is transi porting carriage takes place, Whenthe gun is fired onlyafter the springs N are stressed.
  • FIG. 3 merely differs from the one described in that the screw spindles J are not attached to the pressure blocks by the aid of springs K but to the pressure blocks by bolts (M). In place thereof there are mounted-on the frame C of the supporting carriage springs (N) 'whieh form the abutments ,for the j'ac'ks E.
  • Arail'way gun and carriage comprising 'two set's 'of bogies,a frame s'upporte' donsaid bogies, a separate supporting unit, 'an" bogies and the separate unit. 7
  • a railway gun and carriage therefor which comprises sets of bogies, a frame supporting the gun and carried by said bogies, a separate supporting unit adapted to be positioned centrally of the frame, means carried by said unit for supporting it upon the rails of a railway, means for connecting the frame to said separate unit for support thereon, and resilient means within said separate unit whereby the recoil of the gun is first transmitted to the carriage bogies and then f to the separatesupport ing unit;
