Abstract: A device to recuperate the energy produced during the recoiling of a weapon provided with a hydraulic fluid power circuit, wherein said device comprises an energy recuperating cylinder activated by the recoil of said weapon, a double-acting cylinder comprising two chambers separated by a piston, a first chamber of said cylinder being connected to said hydraulic power circuit of said weapon, said piston of said cylinder pushing said hydraulic fluid in said circuit into a storage accumulator when said weapon recoils. The energy recuperating cylinder comprises a second chamber connected to a recoil mechanism that ensures pressurising of said mechanism.

Abstract: The invention concerns a device (1) for artillery intended to ram a projectile (7) into the chamber of a weapon barrel, such device comprising an impulse jack (12) incorporating a mobile rod (25) driving a carriage (10) mounted able to slide with respect to a chute (11), the carriage (10) being able to drive the projectile towards the weapon chamber using drive means (9). This device comprises a loading tray (5) intended to receive the projectile, such loading tray with respect to which the carriage (10) may translate to drive the projectile (7) and wherein the impulse jack (12) is a dual-acting jack and it is the withdrawal movement of the mobile rod (25) that is used to drive the projectile.

Abstract: The invention relates to a loading device for a shell in the cannon chamber of a weapon fitted with a screw breech incorporating a receiving tray onto which the shell is positioned, enabling it to be brought from a set up position to a loading position in which the shell is aligned with the cannon axis, ramming means and means to wedge the shell in the cannon operating successively, the ramming means and the wedging means being integral with the tray, said tray being connected to the slide of the weapon in an articulated manner in order to move the shell from the set up position to the loading position, the wedging means being connected in an articulated manner with respect to the tray such that after the shell has been rammed into place said wedging means partially engage in the tray substantially in the cannon axis, said tray being engaged in the weapon breech in abutment against a sealing cone of the cannon. The tray is fitted at its front end with protection means abutting against said sealing cone.

Abstract: A system to automatically pick up the propellant charge modules stored in a magazine, such system includes at least one pick-up device carried by a mobile support bracket activated by a driving motor to be able to penetrate inside the magazine and pick up at least one module, wherein the pick-up device has two forks arranged opposite one another and marking out between them a housing to receive at least one module, and at least one retractable retention device intended to protrude inside the housing to retain the module inside the housing after the two forks have moved on either side of the module to be picked up.
