20100011951 | Gun recoil - A gun comprising: a generally tubular barrel defining a barrel axis and having an external barrel surface about the perimeter of the tubular barrel a cradle having a cradle bore for accommodating a section of the barrel wherein the barrel is slidably mounted in the cradle bore such that the barrel can move relative to the cradle along the barrel axis across a range of barrel positions and wherein an interface defined by the slidable contact between external barrel surface and the cradle bore—i) prevents rotation of the barrel relative to the cradle about the barrel axis; and ii) is maintained at a single section of the cradle over the entire range of barrel positions. | 01-21-2010 |
20100269681 | Pointing Device Inertial Isolation and Alignment Mounting System - An inertial isolation and alignment system for a sensitive component or apparatus affixed to a mortar barrel comprising a barrel clamp assembly which supports two parallel bearing rail followers and pointing device cage assembly which supports two parallel linear bearing rails. The bearing rail followers and linear bearing rails form a simple sliding contact linear motion bearing system. The bearing rail followers on the barrel clamp assembly allow the cage assembly to slide freely along the length of the linear bearing rails. During firing, the travel vector is decoupled from the cage assembly by the bearing rail followers as they move with the barrel along the linear bearing rails leaving the cage assembly suspended in inertial space. The cage assembly then accelerates under the force of gravity over the distance of the displaced travel of the bearing rail followers back to its rest position landing on dampers, each on a linear bearing rail. | 10-28-2010 |

20110168007 | CONVERSION KIT WITH RECOIL DELAY ACTION AND METHOD FOR TRANSFORMATION OF C1 HOWITZER IN A MORE PERFORMENT C-3 MODEL - A device for delaying a recoil action of a recoil system of a weapon intended to fire projectiles out from a barrel. The device includes a housing removably mountable onto the recoil system, a rod being movable along opposite first and second directions in response to a corresponding movement of the piston end of the recoil system, and a damping assembly contained in the housing and cooperating with a distal extremity of the rod. When in use, the damping assembly provides a damping effect to the distal extremity when the rod is moved along the first direction, the damping effect being configured so that the recoil action of the recoil system is delayed by a time corresponding substantially to a time of travel of a projectile inside the barrel of the weapon before being fired out of said barrel, for improving firing accuracy and other parameters of the weapon. | 07-14-2011 |
