Ammunition transfer sling and method of using

摘要

A hoist includes an upper support plate connected to a lower guide plate by two sliding rods. The hoist is designed for lifting a plurality of elongated articles, such as projectiles, by hooking each article onto a fastener attached to the lower surface of the upper support plate with the article extending through one of several holes in the lower guide plate. The holes in the lower guide plate serve to keep the articles from banging together. Springs may be used to bias the upper support plate towards the lower guide plate. An associated method of using the hoist is especially well-suited for moving projectiles between pallets having different center-to-center or projectile separation distances.
