Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2011131293A1] The invention relates to a tube weapon (1) having a weapon barrel (3) which is mounted in a cradle (2) such that it can be moved from a rest position to a recoil position and has a base piece (4), with the base piece (4) comprising a wedge-type breech lock (5) with a breech block (7) which can be moved transversely with respect to the barrel bore axis (6) of the weapon barrel (3) from a closed position to an open position, and with a control unit (11) being provided for controlling the movement of the wedge-type breech lock (5), which control unit (11) is attached to the cradle (2) and comprises a housing part (13), which is fixed to the cradle and has a switching rod (16) which can be moved axially, can be fixed to the housing part (13) and acts on a piston rod (8), which is connected to an opener lever (9) of the wedge-type breech lock (5), in order to open the breech block (7). In order to obtain a control unit (11) whose design is as compact as possible, the invention proposes that spherical latching elements (19) be used to fix the switching rod (16) to the housing part (13) which is fixed to the cradle, which latching elements (19) are mounted such that they can be moved radially in holes (20) in the housing part (13) and, in order to fix the switching rod (16), engage in an interlocking manner in an annular latching groove (25) in the switching rod (16), and are held by means of a control sleeve (21) which is arranged such that it can move axially along the housing part (13) which is fixed to the cradle. The radial fixing of the latching elements (19) is cancelled again by an axial movement of the control sleeve (21) by means of a control element (10) which is in the form of a rod and is connected to the base piece (4), such that said latching elements (19) can slide outwards, and release the switching rod (16).
