Abstract
Improved loading mechanism for weapons which principally consists of a piston (15), driven by a spring (16) and an electric driving motor (4) with reduction gear, characterized in that the spring (16) is compressed by the piston (15) of which the compression movement which results in putting the aforementioned spring (16) under tension is controlled by the piston (15) working together with a continuous traction device.
Claims7
A loading mechanism for weapons, comprising:
- a piston;
- a spring for driving the piston;
- an electric motor having a reduction gear thereon;
- a continuous traction means including a closed loop endless element;
- means connected to the traction means for reciprocating the piston to place tension on the spring upon movement of the closed loop endless element;
- wherein the traction device comprises the closed loop endless element driven and supported by a plurality of wheels;
- wherein a pair of protuberances are mounted at opposite points of the closed loop endless element, said protuberances engaging with said reciprocating means;
- wherein the reciprocating means comprises a hook element having one end connected to the piston and the other end cooperating with the protuberances;
- and
- wherein the hook element is attached to the piston and is fork-shaped at its free extremity, such that the fork-shaped extremity folds around the closed loop endless element and grasps the protuberances.

A loading mechanisms for weapons, comprising:
- a piston;
- a spring for driving the piston;
- an electric motor having a reduction gear thereon;
- a continuous traction means including a closed loop endless chain having at least one protuberance connected thereto, the endless chain being driven in a single direction by the reduction gear and being driven and supported by a plurality of chain wheels;
- and
- means connected to the traction means for reciprocating the piston to place tension on the spring upon movement of the closed loop endless chain, wherein said at least one protuberance engages the reciprocating means.
