TLCs are mounted in the holes of the upper diaphragm each with the relevant sealed bush. The support circular platform comprises provided viscoelastic sealing with the bearing surface of the upper diaphragm resting thereon. The bushes and TLC fasteners relative to the cradle drive TLCs downwards. The cradle is supplied with the supporting base for TLCs. The latter are mounted on the case of the lower diaphragm by means of the shock absorber moving along the longitudinal axis of the cradle and interacting with the rests as the objects launched from TLCs.
