Abstract

A device for the ejection of boxes through the exit of a container and a box adapted for use in such a device. A device (1) for ejection of boxes (30) through an exit (3) of a container (2). Such a device (1) may be used for the ejection of chaff for the purpose of radar jamming. The device (1) is provided with gear wheels (13, 13') located adjacent to the exit (3). In order to eject chaff boxes (30) the gear wheels (13, 13') engage with peripherally located gears (37, 38) on the boxes (30). Ejection by means of such a gear arrangement enables the number of boxes (30) released and the time interval between subsequent releases to be controlled very accurately.
