Abstract
A chute magazine for storing and supplying modular propelling charges. A magazine floor is aligned in a direction in which the propelling charges are to be supplied and has a frontal end region formed as a collecting trough. A plurality of parallel chute walls are arranged at a right angle to the magazine floor and define a plurality of vertical chutes for the storage of superposed stacked rows of propelling charge modules. The chute walls have lower ends adjacent to and separated from the magazine floor to define a passage between the magazine floor and the adjacent ends and at right angles to the chute walls for supplying the propelling charge modules in a direction transversely to the chute walls into the trough. An automatically driven pusher is disposed in the passage above the magazine floor for pushing propelling charge modules disposed in the passage into the trough.
