Definitions

  • My invention relates to gun supports and more especially to gun-carriages of the tripod type comprising a trail and two wheel carrying feet.
  • the two tripod feet are movably connected with the central gun support in such manner that they can be folded up and in the folded up position form with the trail a triangular carriage structure.
  • a gun-carriage such as here described is not only very simple in design, but also enables the carriage to be changed over quickly from travelling to firing position, this being render-ed possible more particularly by the fact that the weight of the gun and gun support proper rests on the Wheels also during the changing over, the wheels facilitating the folding up of the feet by allowing them to be rotated about the wheel axis.
  • Fig. l is an elevation, one of the wheels being left away for the sake of clearness;
  • Fig. 2 is a plan view corresponding to Fig. 1, 35 the contiguous ends of the two parts of one of the feet being shown in horizontal section.
  • FIG. 1 is the hollow center column of the carriage body, on which turns the forked gun mounting 5 with the gun 6.
  • 2 are hinge pins, by means of which the two short links 3 are hinged to the column I, means such as nuts 2a. being provided for securing the links 3 in any desired position relative to the column.
  • 3' are the outer sections of the bipartite foldable feet and 4 is the trail, which is hinged to the column I in a similar manner.
  • I are spades mounted on the ends of the trail and feet.
  • the adjoining ends I0, I0 of the bipartite feet 3, 3' are enlarged to form heads, the plane of contact between the two heads intersecting the trail at an acute angle and the pivot pins I I extending at right angles to this plane.
  • Nuts I2 screwable on the pins I I serve to firmly press the two heads I0 against each other and in order to be able to secure these heads in any desired relative position, they are serrated as shown at I3.
  • An arm forming a stub axle I8 extending from each outer foot section 3' at an angle approaching a right angle carries a wheel I 5 mounted on a journal I6.
  • the nuts l2 are loosened and the outer sections 3' of the feet are turned about the wheel axles I6, until their ends come in contact with the trail 4 and can be fixed to it by means of the clamp II.
  • the gun-carriage rests on the two parallelly mounted wheels and the end of the trail 4 and now forms a triangular two-wheeled carriage.
  • inner sections 3 hinged to the central column I I may also provide arms rigidly fixed to or formed in one part with this column.
  • the two foldable members which, together with the trail, support the central column I and the gun, are hinged to this central column in such manner that, when folded up, they extend towards and into contact with the trail 50 and form with the latter a triangular carriage structure.
  • the arrangement of the wheels on stub axles extending radially from the foldable supporting members provides for a double-lever action of these members when turning about their hinge pins II. and this lever action greatly facilitates the folding and unfolding.
  • a wheel carriage for guns comprising in combination, a central gun support, a trail and two feet forming a tripod, each foot being subdivided into an inner and an outer section, the planes of subdivision extending at an acute angle to the feet axes and intersecting said trail, a wheel axle extending from each outer section near the inner end thereof and a Wheel on said axle.
