Discarding sabot for a sub-calibre round (projectile)

摘要

The invention relates to a discarding sabot (3) for a sub-calibre round (1) having thrustplates (13) which are arranged radially with respect to the round (1) and rest against the round (1) in a positively locking manner, and having a fibre-filled moulding compound which is arranged between the thrustplates (13), the thrustplates (13) having a front guidance region and a drive region with a drive surface (5), and the profile of the drive surface (5) reducing in the direction of the fin assembly (6). In order to avoid the moulding compounds becoming detached from the discarding sabot, it is proposed according to the invention that the thrustplates (13) have a chamfer (14) on their side surface facing the moulding compound, that the profile of the chamfer (14) increases in the direction of the front guidance region, and that the thrustplates (13) thus form a wedge-shaped constriction for the moulding compounds. <IMAGE>
