A throwing mechanism that is located at an upper part of the chassis onto which at least one weight is attached and provides throwing the weight attached thereto. A base is located at a lower part of the chassis and onto which a weight is thrown by the throwing mechanism, at least one position adjuster is located on the base and provides aligning on the base the weight thrown onto the base so that it faces the throwing mechanism, and a control unit which enables to operate the position adjuster to move the base upwards so as to re-attach the weight to the throwing mechanism, and thus to test the throwing mechanism automatically.

A cartridge (1) in the form of a cylindrical container with eternal fixing ribs, a releasing unit (3) of the rear cartridge in the rear window (4) of the cartridge and a mechanism pressing the shell against the inner surface of the cartridge through the front window (5) of the cartridge (1). The front window (5) of the cartridge (1), together with the pressure plate unit (6), are placed inside the cartridge (1) within the cylindrical part of the shell loaded into this cartridge (1). At least two transverse rods (8) are affixed to the pressure plate (6), the ends of which are moving within slots (14) of side guides (12) affixed onto the cartridge (1), on both sides of the front window (5), wherein the pair of ends (11) of each transverse rod (8) is moving within the pair of slots (14) of side guides (12). Each of the side guides (12) is located near the side edge of the front window (5) of the cartridge (1) and is placed on linear moving guide (13) provided with a return spring (18). Each of the slots (14) in the side guide (12) has a section running at an angle against the surface of cartridge (1), connected to a section parallel to the surface of that cartridge (1).

Apparatus and associated methods relate to automatically loading a plurality of hazardous entities into a hazardous-entity container. Such automatic loading is performed by: i) lifting a selected hazardous entity of a plurality of hazardous entities from a stowed position to an elevation of a corresponding hazardous-entity portal of the hazardous-entity container; ii) sensing relative alignment the selected hazardous entity with respect to the corresponding hazardous-entity portal iii) aligning the selected hazardous entity with the corresponding hazardous-entity portal based on the relative alignment sensed by the alignment sensor; iv) evaluating whether an insertion condition is met based at least in part on the relative alignment sensed by the alignment sensor; and v) inserting the selected hazardous entity into its corresponding hazardous-entity portal if the insertion condition is met.
