Projectile dolly for separate loading ammunition

摘要

A dolly for transporting projectiles of separate loading ammunition has a frame mounted on a pair of spaced rollers and has a manually engageable grip at the end thereof away from the rollers. A curved backing plate is mounted on the frame in front of the rollers and a lever is pivoted to the frame at a height appropriate to the length of the projectile. The end of the lever away from the rollers is provided with pin means to engage the ring in the projectile end closure plug and the other end of the lever is provided with a bail to assist in rotation of the lever to lift the projectile and permit it to swing against the backing plate. Latch means are mounted on the frame to lock the lever in position in which the projectile is raised and is lying against the backing plate. The arrangement of the pins in the lever is such that a pair of smaller diameter projectiles may be lifted onto the dolly at the same time or a single larger diameter projectile may be lifted onto the dolly.
