Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a torpedo launch device, in particular for launching torpedoes from a surface vessel.
  • Number 1 in Figure 1 indicates as a whole a launch device for launching a torpedo 2.
  • Launch device 1 comprises a substantially cylindrical launch tube 3 having a front muzzle end 3a and a rear end 3b; and a expulsion assembly 4 housed inside launch tube 3, close to rear end 3b.
  • torpedo 2 is fitted at the rear with a shank 9 with a spherical end 9a.
  • Expulsion assembly 4 comprises a base disk 5 connected to rear end 3b of launch tube 3; a thrust disk 8 connectable releasably to shank 9 of torpedo 2 housed inside launch tube 3; and an explosive-actuated bag 7 interposed axially between base disk 5 and thrust disk 8.
  • Bag 7 is substantially cylindrical, and has a rear base wall 11 secured to base disk 5 by fast-fit, e.g. bayonet, connecting means not shown. At rest, as shown in Figure 1 , bag 7 is folded accordion-fashion and lashed in place by a calibrated-release binding not shown.
  • fast-fit e.g. bayonet
  • a first spring 48, externally coaxial with actuating rod 20, is compressed between plate 21 and thrust disk 8; and a second spring 49, externally coaxial with push-rod 22, is compressed between central body 18 and jaws 19 (when closed) of gripper 16, so as to push the jaws into the open position.
  • Lock device 14 also comprises a number of stop assemblies 24 housed in respective radial holes 23 formed in, and communicating with central cavity 17 of, thrust disk 8.
  • grooves 41 dead-end on the side facing end 3a of tube 3; and shock-absorbing stop devices 46 are provided at the end of grooves 41 to arrest thrust disk 8.
  • Thrust disk 8 is then fixed onto shank 9 of torpedo 2 by means of lock device 14.
