FEEDING DEVICE, IN PARTICULAR AMMUNITION FEED OF A CANNON, HAVING A PLURALITY OF CONTAINERS FOR RECEIVING ONE OBJECT EACH, IN PARTICULAR A MILITARY ACTIVE BODY

The invention relates to a feeding device, in particular ammunition feed (1) of a cannon, having a plurality of containers (2) for receiving in each case one object, in particular a military active body, and having at least one actuating means (15) for opening and closing the containers (2), the containers (2) each having two shell segments (3, 4) arranged pivotably on a holder and in each case one slider (5), it being possible for the shell segments (3, 4) to be pivoted back and forth in a functionally effective manner between a release position and a holding position by linear displacement of the slider (5), it being possible for the slider (5) to be actuated by the actuating means (15).A feeding device, in particular a compact ammunition feeding device for an automatic loading system, is provided in that the slide (5) can be actuated by means of a releasable contact with the actuating means (15), and/or the slide (5) acts on the shell segments (3, 4) via a control surface (10, 11) and a control element (6) interacting with the control surface (10, 11), the control element (6) moving along the control surface (10, 11) when the slide (5) is displaced linearly.
