ABSTRACT:
For feeding cartridges from a stationary container to a firing weapon having an elevation adjustability or control, it is necessary to provide means for deflecting cartridges according to the weapon's elevation. It is common practice to use either plate channel arrangements or flexible cartridge feed channels as a deflecting mechanism, both of which however, are afflicted with serious shortcomings. According to this invention, the deflecting mechanism involves a helical cartridge feed channel which is attached to the firing weapon and which comprises an infeed aperture or opening where cartridges are coaxially aligned with respect to the elevation axis and an outfeed aperture or opening where cartridges are in essentially parallel alignment with the weapon barrel axis.
