Abstract (en)
[origin: US4421006A] A manual cocking device or charger contains an entrainment element operatively connected to a weapon breechblock and movable by means of a tensioning or cocking chain. A sprocket wheel engages with the cocking or tensioning chain and is driven by means of a handcrank which can be fitted onto a drive shaft. For avoiding a premature advance of the breechblock and eliminating the danger of injury to the gun operator by the handcrank, a locking wheel is rigidly mounted for rotation upon the drive shaft. This locking wheel is arrested by means of a locking pin or bolt in a rotational sense which is opposite to the drive rotational direction. The handcrank is axially aligned upon the drive shaft by means of a safety bolt. By means of a common holder or support the locking bolt and the safety bolt can be simultaneously disengaged upon termination of the cocking operation.
