ABSTRACT:
An installation to horizontalize a weapon platform, consisting of two hollow bodies which telescope into one another, is mounted on a vehicle body or vehicle roof which serve as a stationary base. Thereby, a cylindrical inner surface of the first external hollow body, and a cylindrical outer surface of the second internal hollow body, enclosed by the surface, are parallel to each other, and form an inclined plane which is inclined at an angle, relative to a bearing surface of the outer surface of the first hollow body, which is adjusted in the vehicle body or the vehicle roof. A bearing, which is mounted in the surface, is fixed in an annular member which preferably can be detached from the vehicle body or vehicle roof. The installation is suitable for high angle fire arms, and enables both manual and automatic horizontalization, and, in addition, permits an all-directional load bearing capability.
