ABSTRACT:
A distributor for feeding projectiles to the trajectory of a projectile engaging vane carried by a cylindrical gun in a centrifugal launcher of the type including a rotor having an open central zone, the distributor being defined by a support provided with a transfer zone and a passage for storing a plurality of projectiles that are fed by a jack into the transfer zone for successive engagement by a slide, the latter being periodically advanced in synchronization with rotation of the rotor to engage and bring each projectile against an anvil and in the trajectory of the projectile engaging vane. The slide blocks the passage while in its advanced position, and unblocks the passage when retracted to permit feeding of the projectiles into the transfer zone. An engagable lock maintains the slide in the advanced position in opposition to its retraction.
