ABSTRACT:
A tank turret magazine system includes a circulating primary magazine, an additional magazine, and a transfer mechanism for moving ammunition containers between the magazines. The additional magazine provides increased storage capacity without increasing the length or width of the turret and without sacrificing automatic operation of the primary magazine. The additional magazine and the transfer mechanism are preferably disposed below the primary magazine. For a direct exchange of ammunition containers from the one magazine to the other magazine, the transfer mechanism includes two transfer levers which are pivotal about an axis and which are able to grip pivot pins mounted on both sides of the ammunition containers. The additional magazine may be configured as a single-row static magazine. In this embodiment, the transporting levers are arranged so as to be displaceable, by way of a carriage, in the longitudinal direction of the magazine system for exchange of any desired container from the lowermost row of the primary magazine. If the additional magazine is configured as a double-row circulating magazine, the axis of the transporting levers need not be moved longitudinally and the carriage may be omitted.
