The countermass includes a plurality of mutually sequential and separated countermass bodies, each of which has a gas throughflow passage. The throughflow passage in the countermass bodies is sized to have a larger inlet area in bodies at the forward end of the countermass and gradually smaller inlet area in bodies at the rearward end of the countermass.
95 Energy absorbing arrangements US944765 1986-12-22 US4759430A 1988-07-26 Arthur Kalin
In e.g. a projectile launcher, an arresting sleeve (12) absorbs energy by deformation, which is necessary to arrest a piston (15) from which a counter-mass or a projectile is ejected. The counter-mass (17) should be dispersed as rapidly as possible on exit, in order not to endanger those in the vicinity of the gunner. According to the invention the arresting sleeve (12) has annular peripheral grooves (13,14) on its outer face and also on its inner face of equilateral triangular cross-section, and the piston (15) has a cartridge (16) holding the counter-mass (17), which at its forward end has a greater wall thickness than at its rearward end.
96 Apparatus for recoilless firing of projectiles from a lauching tube US930916 1986-11-17 US4676136A 1987-06-30 Arthur Kalin
An apparatus for recoilless firing of projectiles from a launching tube comprises within the launching tube a forward brake ring, a forward sabot, a propellant charge with an ignition element or screw, a rear sabot, a counter-mass, and a rear brake ring, arranged within the launching tube in the sequence listed. Upon ignition of the propellant charge, high acceleration forces are created by the ensuing high peak pressures, which consequently requires a robust construction. In order to avoid this drawback, according to the invention the aforementioned disadvantage can be eliminated by using a propellant charge comprising a first cylindrical propellant charge body and a second annular propellant charge body which surrounds this first cylindrical propellant charge body.

99 Method and device for launching missiles particularly antitank projectiles US38211773 1973-07-24 US3815469A 1974-06-11 SCHUBERT J; SCHNABELE W
A method of recoilless and concealed launching of missiles, particularly antitank projectiles, from launcher tubes open at both ends, comprises simultaneously accelerating the missile in the firing direction and a countermass in the opposite direction, using an inert, non-expansive and well dividable countermass of high specific gravity in a liquid, jelly-like, pulverulent, granular or mixed form, and imparting to the countermass a considerably higher, for example quadruple, exit velocity than to the missile, the weight and volume of the countermass being so dimensioned as to approximately balance the impulses and momenta at the two outlets. The acoustical and optical signs of the power gas expansion into the open air are prevented by closing the openings at both ends of the launcher tube at the moment the missile and the countermass have been expelled. A device for carrying out this method comprises, within a common pressureresistant tube or with pressure-resistant outer walls of the assembled parts, a missile compartment for receiving the missile and its driving piston, a countermass compartment for receiving the countermass and its driving piston, and a common cross-wall therebetween. The common cross-wall and the respective driving piston limit within the missile compartment a low pressure chamber, and within the countermass compartment, a high pressure chamber In these chambers, appropriately dimensioned power gas developing charges are placed or pressure gas is supplied therein from an outside source. The low pressure chamber may also be supplied with power gas from the high pressure chamber, through throttle openings which may be provided in the common cross-wall and, moreover, may be closed by inserts of fusible material permitting a control of the pressure development. To prevent signs of pressure gas expansion into the open air, the driving pistons in their outer positions close both ends of the device by abutting against annular stops. To simplify the recharge, the countermass compartment alone or together with the missile compartment are in the form of a preassembled package to be inserted in an outer tube. Also, the countermass compartment may be designed as a pressure-resistant case receiving a countermass quantity for several shots and a corresponding number of missile compartments in the form of launcher tubes may be joined thereto.
100 Launching device for projectiles US3800656D 1971-11-04 US3800656A 1974-04-02 SCHNABELE W
A launching device for a projectile comprises a barrel having an interior projectile chamber directly adjacent a muzzle opening at one end. The projectile is positioned behind the muzzle opening and is sealed from a propellant chamber directly behind the projectile chamber by means of a sealing member which permits expansion of the propellant chamber during the discharge of the projectile through the muzzle opening. The sealing member moves outwardly along the interior of the barrel, but is maintained in sealing engagement with the barrel to close off the propulsion chmaber even after firing of the missile. In one embodiment, the sealing member comprises a piston which moves along the interior of the barrel and is retained at the outer end thereof by retaining elements formed inwardly at the muzzle opening. In another arrangement, the sealing means comprises a membrane having its outer edges sealed around the periphery of the end of the barrel at the muzzle opening but extending backwardly to envelop the missile and to seal off the remaining portion of the interior of the barrel from the missile at the propulsion chamber. The propulsion chamber may be sealed at opposite sides by a piston arranged on each side of a propulsion charge or means for generating and introducing high pressure gases between the piston at each end. Instead of a piston, the device may comprise a membrane which is engageable with the barrel or even a flexible member in the form of a bellows which is secured to the interior of the barrel and expands outwardly in one or both directions.
