Gun barrel lashing device for military vehicle e.g. float, has articulated part fixed to turret by pivot that is positioned such that resultant forces exerted by oscillating mass on wedge create torque for pivoting part towards flange

摘要

The device has a flange (1) integrated with an oscillating mass (3) having a gun barrel (4), and an articulated part (2) fixed to a turret (5) by a connection pivot (23). The articulated part has a wedge (11) integrated with the flange. The pivot is positioned such that resultant forces exerted by the mass on the wedge generate a torque to pivot the articulated part towards the flange.
