Abstract
The invention relates to a propellant charge container for receiving loose propellant charge powders. The propellant charge container consists of at least two separate telescopically mounted cylindrical parts which are mutually rotatable relative to each in the peripheral direction. The propellant charge container has a substantially cylindrical shape. The cylindrical container parts forming the container are coupled to each via their mutually overlapping regions. Each of the respective overlapping regions of the parts forming the container have at least one opening, which openings can be mutually aligned to form a filling opening. When these openings are misaligned the filling opening is closed. The overlapping regions of the cylindrical parts have one or more annular corrugations which interengage to form a firm coupling between the cylindrical parts forming the propellant charge container. Both of the end faces of the cylindrical parts forming the container have indentations for permitting a radially and axially play-free loading. The novel propellant charge container of this invention provides for significant manufacturing savings and accelerates the loading process.
