Definitions

• the invention relates to a device for the discharge-side unloading a wrong in the barrel of a weapon loaded weapon, a warhead and a wing assembly comprising projectile whose wing has control wing, each having a warhead towards the preferably tapered portion.
• the object of the invention is to specify a further device with which a wing-stabilized projectile, in particular a mortar shell, can be unloaded from the barrel of a corresponding weapon in a simple manner quickly and reliably.
• the device comprises a base element which can be introduced into the weapon barrel into an end position and rotatable about its longitudinal axis, which has at least one cylindrical guide element supporting the outside surface of the weapon barrel.
• On the main body axially extending into the gun barrel support arms are provided on the side facing the wing of the corresponding projectile, which are connected on their side facing away from the base body with retaining claws for engaging behind the projectile wing leading edges in the region of their preferably tapered sections.
• the holding arms are each formed so wound that they remain both during insertion and when pulling out of the device in the space between the two adjacent tail wings.
• at least one element for inserting and removing the device according to the invention in the weapon barrel and out of this is provided on the base body on the side facing away from the wing saddle.
• the unloading device according to the invention is simple and compact, relatively light in weight and robust against external influences.
• the holding arms of the device jeweiis on a circumferentially extending first end face have a to the front end of the holding arm tapered guide surface, the like are selected, that in the insertion of the body into the gun barrel, the respective guide surface is supported on an adjacent Leitwerksfiügel and causes a rotational movement of the body about its longitudinal axis.
• the Haitear- me spiral into the spaces between the tail wings inside, in the inserted end position of the device according to the invention the respective holding arm associated Garkiaue the tube wall side end of the adjacent direction of rotation tail wing engages in the region of its preferably tapered portion and the subsequent pulling out the device is achieved a formschiüssige position.
• the retaining arms are arranged circumferentially evenly distributed and their number corresponds to the number of tail wings, so that when pulling out the device according to the invention from the gun barrel each tail wing with a Garkiaue is positively connected.
• the Haltekiauen may be formed groove-shaped on its side facing the respective Leitwerksfiügel for gripping the tail wing in the region of the preferably tapered region.
• the base body contains an axial vent hole for the escape of pent-up air, which arises during the discharge process during insertion and withdrawal of the device according to the invention in the gun barrel.
• On the main body can be attached to the side facing away from the wing panel end for insertion and withdrawal of the device in the gun barrel and out of this a tether.
• a handle eye can be arranged on the base body on the side facing away from the wing saddle.
• Divisible number of vanes also works well with a smaller number of jaws a further weight saving can be achieved.
• 6-wing stabilizer 3 or 2 appropriately trained claws would be possible and also useful.
• FIG. 1 shows the perspective view of a device according to the invention
• FIG. 2 shows the longitudinal section through a schematically indicated weapon barrel of a Vorderladermörsers with a false charge around it mortar shell;
• FIG. 3 shows longitudinal sections through the weapon barrel shown in FIG. 2 in the region of the rear-side part of the mortar shell during insertion of the device according to the invention
• Fig.7, 8 are enlarged views of a tail air of the mortar shell shown in Fig. 6 when pulling out the mortar shell from the corresponding gun barrel - compared to Fig. 6 pulled slightly upwards.
• FIG. 1 denotes a device according to the invention for unloading a mortar shell 5 accidentally loaded the wrong way round into the weapon barrel 2 (FIG. 2) of a front load mortar.
• the mortar shell 5 comprises a warhead 3 and a tailplane 4 arranged at the rear on the warhead 3.
• the wing 4 has five circumferentially evenly distributed tail wings, of which only four tail wings 6-6 '" are shown in FIG 6-6 "'has a section 7 which preferably tapers toward the warhead 3.
• the device 1 comprises a base body 8, which can be inserted into the weapon barrel 2 and is rotatable about its longitudinal axis 100, which is supported on the outside on the inner surface 9 of the weapon barrel 2 via two cylindrical guide elements 10.
• Each of the five retaining arms 12-16 is connected on its side facing away from the main body 8 with retaining claws 17.
• the holding arms 12-16 each have a guide face 19, which tapers towards the front end of the holding arm, on a first end face 18 extending in the circumferential direction.
• These guide surfaces 19 are selected such that during the insertion of the main body 8 in the weapon barrel 2 by means of a tether 20 ( Figure 3-6), the guide surfaces 19 each on a guide surfaces 19 adjacent tail flights! 6-6 '' (in particular, the support of the guide surface 19 of the holding arm 13 on the tail wing 6 'can be seen in FIGS. 3-6.) This automatically effects a rotational movement of the main body 8 about its longitudinal axis 100, so that a Independent alignment of Vornchtung 1 takes place within the barrel 2.
• the device 1 or the main body 8 is inserted into the weapon barrel 2 and let down until just before the cartridge or mortar shell 5 on tether 20. Then the device 1 is "dropped" on the mortar shell 5 (about 10 cm in height) .Thus, an independent alignment or screwing in of the support arms 12-16 on the tail unit 4 of the mortar shell 5.
• the holder arms 2-16 snap through the inertia
• the actual "detent position" is reached when the device is pulled up again after reaching the end position and the wings "lock in.”
• the fully inserted end position of the device (Fig .6 and 7) engage behind the holding arms 12- 6 associated retaining claws 17 in the direction of rotation in each case adjacent tail wings in the region of its preferably tapered portion 7.
• the actual support arm 12-16 remains in this end position in the area between the two adjacent tail wings 6 -6 ''.
• a handle eye 24 is further arranged, which makes it possible, the device 1 at the end of the unloading process at the mouth end of the Whyroh- Res 2 to grab and pull out of the barrel 2.
• the main body 8 includes an axial vent hole 25 for the escape of pent-up air, which arises during the discharging process during insertion and withdrawal of the device 1 according to the invention in the gun barrel 2.
• the device 1 can after the successful unloading of the mortar cartridge from the gun barrel by an upward pulling rotational movement from its locking (locking position 26) and thus from the tail 4 (retaining claws 17) are released.
• wing-stabilized mortar shells can be unloaded from a Vorderladermörser with the device according to the invention, but it can be unloaded with the device according to the invention in the same way also wrong wing-stabilized projectiles from corresponding weapons tubes (for example, from weapons tubes of Schuladerwaffen).
• the retaining arms it is not absolutely necessary for the retaining arms to be forcedly guided by the tail wings. Rather, the guide arms need only be formed so twisted that they remain in the final position of introduced into the gun device according to the invention in the spaces between adjacent tail wings and the holding claws connected to them are arranged on the support arms that they, for example, by a rotation of the body slide under the preferably tapered portions of the tail wings.
• the device is not limited to the aforementioned embodiment.
