Firing-bolt safety device for a wedge breech lock of a large-calibre gun

摘要

The invention relates to a firing-bolt safety device for a wedge breech lock of a large-calibre gun having a firing slide (1) which can be moved in synchronism with the opening and closing movement of the breech wedge. The firing bolt (8) is forcibly secured on the entire breech movement, by engagement with a safety latch (3) which latches into a milled recess (17) on a safety slide (2) during the breech movement of the firing slide (1). In this position, the safety latch (3) is held in a lower position and is stored safely, against the force of a spring (9). IMAGE
