Abstract
An architecturally design mortar base plate is provided having an architecturally design structure having a center receiving hub and socket made of one piece machine from solid steel for socket to absorb the impact over repeated cycling. A plurality of forged metal ribs extend radially out therefrom to distribute the impact strength from the socket regime to throughout the whole base volume to consume the energy that created due to firing.
Claims16
An architecturally design mortar base plate for use in combination with an otherwise conventional mortar, said mortar base plate comprising:
- a center receiving hub forming a socket;
- a plurality of ribs attached to and extend radially out from said hub;
- a stabilizer pad formed to receive an assembly of said hub and said ribs, said stabilizer pad for operatively distributing recoil and impact strength exerted at said socket to throughout the whole base volume to consume the energy that created due to firing.
The mortar base plate of claim 7, wherein said ribs are formed of maraging steel, or any structural steel including the toughened by forged, cold or TITANIUM and to achieve the weight reduction.
A modular mortar baseplate assembly comprising, in combination:
- a ball socket for receiving and retaining a cannon of an otherwise conventional mortar;
- a support leg structure operatively connected to and supporting said ball socket;
- and
- a stabilizer pad in physical communication between said support leg structure and a support surface for transferring a mortar recoil force from said cannon to said support surface.
