ABSTRACT:
To automate the uploading and downloading of a magazine storing rounds of large caliber ammunition in horizontal orientation, a transfer mechanism is equipped with a set of transfer forks and a set of selector gates operating is synchronism with a magazine rotary conveyor to laterally transfer ammunition rounds between a linear transfer conveyor and carrier positions on the rotary conveyor. The selector gates serve to pick rounds from carrier positions swinging through a turnaround of the rotary conveyor during downloading and to provide underlying, rolling support for the rounds during uploading and downloading transfer movement controlled by the transfer forks. Alternatively, the transfer mechanism is equipped to upload and download a pair of magazines stationed on opposite sides of the linear conveyor.
