Abstract
A loading table including a stable frame with a flat depositing plane (13) for shells (14) lying beside each other and feeding means for removing the shells, one at a time, from the plane, through lateral displacement. The feeding means utilize holding trough segments arranged in an endless chain with two stories of which the upper story comes into connection with the depositing plane. The segments are fastened in the links (16) of two drive chains which by means of the step drive mechanism can be actuated so that at a certain actuation of the step drive mechanism, holding troughs (15) for the shells, which can be composed of holding trough segments in the upper story, are moved forwards one spacing distance. The pairs of holding trough segments are arranged in such a way that said holding troughs which are formed are capable of receiving new shells directly from above under parallel displacement substantially at right angles to the depositing plane in a number corresponding to the number of shells removed from the plane. The holding troughs can then receive two or more shells simultaneously when these are arranged parallel to each other.
