The present invention relates to a device for the loading system of artillery guns to enable unitary propelling charges (16), of preferably modular charge type that are mutually combinable into larger units and which have combustible casings, to be handled in a main magazine (1) comprising a number of mutually parallel magazine tubes (2-15) designed to accommodate such modular charges (16), with the outfeed apertures of the magazine tubes (2-15) terminating in a common vertical plane, and a retrieval tube (17) whose infeed/outfeed aperture can be docked with the outfeed aperture of any freely selectable magazine tube (2-15) whereby the retrieval tube (17) is used to transfer a selected number of modular charges (16) from the respective magazine tubes (2- 15) to a loading pendulum (19) used for loading the gun. The device in the present invention is primarily characterized by the way in which the magazine tubes (2-15) and the retrieval tube (17) are designed with dedicated outfeed devices (31) which ensure that the modular charges are always kept packed together, end-to-end when they are transferred between the tubes.
L'invention concerne un dispositif permettant au système de chargement de pièces d'artillerie de prendre des charges propulsives unitaires (16), de préférence de type charge modulaire. Ces charges sont associées pour former des unités plus grandes et ont des étuis combustible, afin d'être manipulées dans un magasin principal (1) comprenant un certain nombre de tubes de magasin parallèles (2-15) conçus pour loger de telles charges modulaires (16), les ouvertures de sortie des tubes de magasin (2-15) se terminent dans un plan vertical commun. Le magasin principal (1) comprend également un tube d'extraction (17) servant à transférer un nombre choisi de charges modulaires (16) des tubes de magasin respectifs (2-15) jusqu'au pendule de chargement (19) destiné au chargement de l'arme. Le dispositif selon l'invention est principalement caractérisé en ce que les tubes de magasin (2-15) et le tube d'extraction (17) sont conçus avec des dispositifs de sortie dédiés (31) qui garantissent que les charges modulaires sont toujours gardées ensemble, bout-en-bout lorsqu'elles sont transférées entre les tubes.
