专利汇可以提供Adjustable rotary sensors for a self-restoring fluidic mortar support system专利检索,专利查询,专利分析的服务。并且An adjustable tripod support for the firing tube of a mortar is provided with a digital type of fluidic control system responsive to sensing means which detect a predetermined amount of the azimuth and elevation components of the recoil displacement imparted to the tube during firing. In response to such detection, the fluidic control system functions elevation and aziumth pistons which automatically restore the firing tube to the previously selected sighting inclination. The compressed air required by the fluidic control system is stored in an accumulator arranged to be automatically replenished by the discharge gases generated in the mortar tube during the firing thereof. As the firing tube is subjected to recoil displacement, the rotation of a chordally slabbed control shaft associated therewith serves to unblock one of a pair of sensing orifices for activating the control system to provide the required restoration movements of the firing tube. The combination of chordal edges and sensing orifices in each sensing means can be adjusted to provide a given deadband zone through which each control shaft must be rotated before the respective restoration movement is imparted to the firing tube.,下面是Adjustable rotary sensors for a self-restoring fluidic mortar support system专利的具体信息内容。
