Abstract From the Canadian patent
A firearm for a tank is disclosed which has a recoil jacket via the underside of which the firearm can be loaded by a loading pendulum from a magazine on the tank. The jacket has hinged covers which can be swung upwards by the pendulum during loading and will swing downwards by their own weight after loading is completed. The covers are in two pairs located at different levels, one pair mounted on the recoil jacket and the other on the breech ring, so that they do not foul one another upon recoil.

Why it's free to use
- Granted August 14, 1979. A Canadian patent filed before October 1, 1989 lasted 17 years from grant, so its term ended August 14, 1996.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
