SHOT SIMULATING STAND Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: artillery test equipment. SUBSTANCE: the stand for simulation of a shot of an artillery gun has a jig for attachment of the gun and a hopper for the loading mechanism installed on a common foundation, loading mechanism on artillery powder and an assembly for engagement of the gun muzzle with the power member of the loading mechanism. The assembly for engagement of the gun muzzle with the power member of the loading mechanism is made in the form of a funneled mouth secured on the external wall of the hopper around the power member. The length of the mouth exceeds the probable length of recoil of the gun barrel during a real shot, and its maximum diameter exceeds the amplitude of probable vibrations of the barrel muzzle during counterrecoil. EFFECT: simulated shot of an artillery gun, movement of its barrel, cradle and automated process of reloading. 1 dwg
