Abstract: A weapon system includes a carrier vehicle and a vehicle dependent mortar, wherein the carrier vehicle has a crew space and a weaponry space to house the mortar, and the mortar is charged in an index position with mortar grenades, with several sheddable propellant modules on the tail shaft thereof. The weapon system avoids manual loading of the mortar with mortar grenades because an automatic loader is arranged in a weapon space separated from the crew space by a separating wall. The loader transports the mortar grenade from a magazine in the weapon space into the index position of the barrel of the mortar and axially inserts it into the mouth of the barrel, and an automatic shedding device is arranged in the weapon space to automatically remove unnecessary propellant modules from the mortar grenade after fixing target parameters and before insertion of the mortar grenade into the barrel.

Abstract: A gripper device in accordance with the invention comprises a gripper (3) and a counter knife element (4) that are fabricated separately and joined. As a result of this, optimal material combinations are possible, which will deal with both types of wear, namely between the gripper (3) and the tufting needle (5), on the one hand, and between the knife (6) and the counter knife element (4), on the other hand. The gripper module (1) accommodates the counter knife element (4), which, in turn, supports the gripper (3). The two parts may be joined by caulking, cementing, riveting, screwing or similar measures, or they may be cast together in the gripper module (1). The cutting of the loop is done exclusively between the counter knife element (4) and the knife (6).

Abstract: A combat tank is converted into an artillery observation tank without requiring removal of the main gun. The combat tank is converted by integrating retrofitted equipment necessary for the artillery observation, especially the navigation system (12), into the vehicle turret (4) such that it does not collide with the main gun. The navigation system (12) is installed with an arbitrary orientation at an arbitrary location in the vehicle turret (4), and adjusted at this location, without requiring a complicated adjustment mechanism for the observation system, or attachment to the elevating mass. The necessary elevation values for the line of sight (21) are obtained through the evaluation of the angular values of a mirror in the mirror head, such as of a primary-target telescope (20), or through evaluation of gun-position angles.

Abstract: A roll changer for a web-treating or web-processing machine, or a web-fed printing press is provided.

A first stripper (9) is assigned to the first axle journal (8) and can be moved in relation to the first axle journal (8), in order to strip the web roll (10) from the first axle journal (8). A drive (11a-11d) is provided for pivoting the roll arms (4, 5) and moving the first stripper (9).

Abstract: A roll changer for a web-treating or -processing machine is set up for winding off a working web (A) to be treated or processed from a working roll (A) and for connecting a reserve web (V) from a reserve roll (R2) to the working web (A). The roll changer includes a first mount (1, 4) for the working roll (R1) and a second mount (2, 5) for the reserve roll (R2). A connecting device (10) connects the reserve web (V) to the working web (A). A holding device (21) is arranged downstream of the connecting device (10) along the web for fixing the working web (A). A pulling device (16), is arranged in a path of the working web (A) between the connecting device (10) and the holding device (21) and is set up to pull the working web (A) from the working roll (R1) during the stoppage of the working roll (R1).

Abstract: A mine sweeping and clearing system (100) includes one or two carrier vehicles (1, 10, 11), with an advance-detonation device (2) for detonating mines located at or near the surface, and a mine-sensor assembly (3) that utilizes various physical effects to identify unambiguously as mines and locate deeper-buried mines. An additional flail (7) then detonates the identified and located mines.
