ABSTRACT:
A loading device for loading a propelling charge into a chamber of a gun barrel having a breech ring, wherein a loading trough is disposed behind the breech ring with the chamber beginning at the rear of the breech ring and the gun barrel has a bore axis. A transfer arm is mouonted for pivotal movement in a direction about an elevation axis of the gun barrel. A loading tray is pivotal transversely to the direction of movement of the transfer arm from a first position off the bore axis of the gun barrel to a second position aligned with the bore axis of the gun barrel and behind and separated from the breech ring. A pivoting device is connected to the transfer arm and the loading tray for pivoting the loading tray between the first and second positions. A displacement device is operatively connected with the loading tray for moving the loading tray along an extension of the bore axis of the gun barrel from the second position through the loading trough to a third position where the loading tray is in contact with the rear of the breech ring. A transporting device is operatively connected with the loading tray for transporting a propelling charge disposed on the loading tray when the loading tray is the third position into the chamber of the gun barrel.
