摘要:
A locking mechanism for locking an orientation of a weapon is disclosed. The locking mechanism includes a first movable arm adapted to contact and apply pressure onto a control surface associated with the weapon, and a second movable arm adapted to contact and apply pressure onto the control surface associated with the weapon. The locking mechanism further includes a valve for applying and removing resistance to the first movable arm and the second movable arm, to thereby control a resistance to movement of the first movable arm and the second movable arm. The valve is adapted to remove resistance from the first movable arm and the second moveable arm in order to allow the weapon to be moved freely into a desired orientation. After the weapon is moved into the desired orientation, the valve may be moved again to increase resistance to thereby allow for fine adjustments in the orientation of the weapon. Finally, the valve may be completely closed to lock the orientation of the weapon. The first movable arm and the second movable arm each have separate hydraulic cylinders and pistons, and the valve couples the first hydraulic cylinder to the second hydraulic cylinder.

An equilibrating system connects a top carriage of a piece of artillery and a pivoting mass. The equilibrating system includes a pressurized gas chamber that exerts a force opposing a force exerted by the pivoting mass. The system also includes two mechanical control devices to modify the volume of gas in the chamber to compensate for adjustments in temperature and to modify the speed of adjustment of the volume of gas to compensate for different elevation laying angles.
