Abstract: A device assists in the loading and/or unloading of a field artillery gun using cylindrical uni-modular charges or powder bags. The loading/unloading device includes an implement to carry the charges into the chamber of the gun, and to release the charges before firing. A method for loading/unloading a field artillery gun includes placing the charges on an implement; and inserting the implement into the chamber along with the charges to position the charges within the chamber before firing.

Abstract: A pouring spout assembly comprises an envelope connected to the open upper end of a container by interlocking elements. The envelope has an upper opening adapted to being brought in register with an opening in a slide drawer unit below and having a bottom wall below the drawer unit in which is formed a port communicating with the inside of the container. The drawer unit is provided with a push piece exposed on the outside of the envelope.

Abstract: The deformable tubular container includes at least one longitudinal corrugated, partition-forming sealed wall defining distinct compartments inside a tubular body. A portion at least of the wall which is at a level of a bottom portion of the body when expnded to eliminate the corrugations has a width equal to an inner half perimeter of the body and this wall is rigidly and tightly connected to an inner wall of the body by segments. to an inner wall of the body by segments. The bottom portion of the body being flattened and sealed against the fully expanded partition-forming wall to form a flattened sealed end of the tubular body.

Abstract: The device comprises a sheath in a synthetic material and including at least one protruding abutment for a latching on a neck of a container and a fitting collar for a portion of this neck. The sheath has a top provided with a sealing foil and is fitted inside a lid including fixation means associated with retainer members for the sheath. A space is defined between the sheath and the lid for accommodating a resilient deformation of the protruding abutment.

Abstract: In a closure device with pouring nozzle and metering stopper, the pouring nozzle is formed of a pouring spout of closed periphery, extending partly inside a sheath and protruding beyond the sheath. The sheath is in turn extended by a rotating ring provided for its fixation and orientation on end of a neck of the container and having its outer wall serving for retaining a skirt formed about a lower portion of a body of the metering stopper with a pouring spout forming a cover and covering the pouring spout of the pouting nozzle.
