Abstract:
Disclosed is a loading machine for cartridges with a metal case including a frame structure; a feed unit for a plurality of cases having a longitudinally extending axis; a first operating beam having an alternating vertical translation movement, provided with working tools having a vertical axis, adapted to load the cases; feed and a conveyor of the cases and element for ejecting the loaded cartridges; a motor and a control unit. The feed unit includes a race and a conveyor guide comb defining a plurality of seats, containing the cases conveying them along the race. The conveyor guide includes bushings, each including at least a first conical surface and a hole to house one of the bushings and being housed in one of the seats. The machine includes a second operating beam, having an alternating vertical translation movement, provided with a plurality of hollow centering cylinders having a vertical axis.

Claim (Index 1):
Loading machine ( 1 ) for cartridges with a metal case ( 2 ) comprising:\n a frame structure ( 3 ); feed means ( 4 ) for a plurality of cases ( 2 ) having a given caliber (c) and a longitudinally extending axis (x); feed means for a plurality of ogival balls adapted to act as bullets; feed means for gunpowder; a first operating beam ( 5 ) having an alternating vertical translation movement, provided with working tools ( 6 ) having a vertical axis (y), adapted to load said cases ( 2 ); feed and conveying means of said cases ( 2 ) during loading; means for ejecting the loaded cartridges; motor means (M) for activation of kinematic mechanisms; a control unit ( 24 ); wherein said feed means of said cases ( 2 ) comprise:\n a race ( 10 ) adapted to support and to allow feed of said cases ( 2 ) in a given direction; \n a conveyor guide ( 11 ), arranged parallel to said race ( 10 ) and comb shaped to define a plurality of seats ( 12 ), adapted to contain said cases ( 2 ) and to convey them along said race ( 10 ), to position them, according to the various filling steps, under respective working tools ( 6 ), \n characterized in that:\n said conveyor guide ( 11 ) comprises a plurality of bushings ( 16 ), each bushing ( 16 ) comprising at least a first conical surface ( 21 ) and a hole ( 17 ) adapted to house one of said cases ( 2 ) and being housed in one of said seats ( 12 ), wherein the outer diameter (D) of said bushing ( 16 ) is less than the inner dimension (d) of said seats ( 12 ) so as to have a minimum freedom of movement between bushing ( 16 ) and respective seat ( 12 ); \n said machine ( 1 ) comprises a second operating beam ( 7 ), having an alternating vertical translation movement coordinated with the alternating vertical translation movement of said first operating beam ( 5 ), wherein said second operating beam ( 7 ) is provided with a plurality of hollow centering cylinders ( 8 ), having a vertical axis (z) and a second conical surface ( 23 ) inside them, each centering cylinder ( 8 ) being arranged so that its vertical axis (z) coincides with the vertical axis (y) of one of said tools ( 6 ), \n wherein coupling between the first conical surface ( 21 ) of each bushing ( 16 ) and the second conical surface ( 23 ) of a corresponding centering cylinder ( 8 ) causes shifting of said bushing ( 16 ) in said seat ( 12 ), and consequently shifting of the case ( 2 ) housed in said bushing ( 16 ), to obtain coaxiality between the longitudinal axis (x) of said case ( 2 ) and the vertical axis (z) of said centering cylinder ( 8 ).
