ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for advancing elongate objects (D) around a curve between upstream and downstream straight guideways (1, 3) connected by a curved connecting guideway (2), each guideway being constituted by two pairs of parallel guides (11, 12; 31, 32) between which the objects (D) are advanced in successive displacements by means of two series (13, 14; 33, 34) of seating plates. The inner guides (22) of the curved guideway (2) are associated with seating plates (24) angularly spaced and driven in synchronism with the plates (14, 34) of the straight guideways (1, 3) and outer guides (21) are associated, in the central part (A) of the curve, with a series (23) of overlapping seating plates the axes of which are normal to the curve, angularly spaced and rotated in synchronism at a speed determining along the outer guide (21) a tangential speed corresponding to the constant angular rate of change of orientation, and, in the upstrem (B1) and downstream (B2) parts of the curve, with two varying-speed drive devices (4, 5 ). The invention is especially applicable to the advancing of ammunition in an artillery turret.
