ABSTRACT:
A drive device for the breech mechanism of a gun comprises driving and driven members connected to first and second elements, respectively wherein one of the elements is movable with respect to the other. The driven and driving members are separable as the elements move apart and re-engage as the elements come together. The connections between the members and elements permit the driving and driven members to execute a rotary motion about a common axis when the members are engaged together whereby energy is transferred from the driving member to the driven member.
