ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an ammunition handling system in which a steel carrier is supported on a chain running along a cruciform track. The carrier has an inner lining (19) (FIG. 1) which is shaped so that when the carrier (10) is tipped from the position shown in FIG. 1, by turning it bodily in an anti-clockwise direction, ammunition contained within the liner will gently and smoothly run out into a receptacle.
The opening and closing of the door, the tipping of the carrier and the deposit of its contents are all controlled automatically by ramps and a rack and pinion device located at various points along the track. The carrier can be lowered manually and is then automatically unloaded when it reaches its destination. The shape of the inner liner (19) is such as to provide a gentle and smooth flow for the ammunition and the liner itself is made of brass, or other suitable material.
