Definitions

  • the first floor which is caught by the maneuver cartridge device, but firmly presses the two parts of the thread together, whereby possible tolerances are lifted. Now the threaded connection is also able to withstand the load of additional floors.
  • the muzzle fire damper acts as an attenuator due to its resilience, so that the thread with which this muzzle fire damper is mounted on the barrel of the rifle, takes no damage whatsoever. By catching a sharp shot, only the maneuver cartridge device will be damaged, perhaps even the muzzle flash damper, but not the rifle itself. This also applies to a short burst of fire.
  • the maneuver cartridge device succeeds in being mounted on any adapted muzzle fire damper, regardless of how it is now attached to the rifle.
  • the threaded connection between the muzzle fire damper and the maneuver cartridge device ensures that it can not fly away even if it is only inadequately fastened.
  • a development of the maneuver cartridge device is that the bottleneck sits outside the muzzle flash damper (claim 2). Thus, damage to the muzzle flash damper is avoided if the tube should expand as a result of the impact of a projectile on the bottleneck with the nozzle bore. Thus, even in a maneuver accident, the damage to the weapon is kept low.
  • the tube and the Hemmblock be optimized depending on the different conditions; such as a particularly tough material for the tube and a particularly hard for the Hemmblock.
  • the core bore has rear caliber at least, but can continue to narrow forward (claim 4).
  • the projectile does not drag uncontrollably along the wall of the bore of the soul, but deforms only at the constriction, in a controlled manner.
  • it is prevented that after passing through the radial bore it is added by abrasion.
  • the controlled collection of several floors is possible.
  • the Manöverpatronen réelle is further developed in that the Hemmblock is extended to the rear and sealing at least rests on the back of the muzzle fire damper, and that in this extension radial relief openings are provided which are in communication with the gas outlet openings (claim 5) , thus, a gas chamber between the gas outlet openings of the muzzle flash damper and the extension of the Hemmblocks is created
  • the at least one radial bore opens under the extension of the Hemmblocks and communicates with radial openings in this, in particular the radial relief openings in combination (claim 6).
  • radial relief openings do not necessarily need to open to the outside, but preferably open into the gas outlet openings of the muzzle flash damper, in which also enters the gas stream, which flows through the conical seat when incorrectly screwed Manöverpatronenêt.
  • the purpose of this measure is the most frequent diversion of the Gas stream, to prevent the escape of solid particles from the maneuver cartridge with certainty.
  • further radial relief openings lead through the extension of the Hemmblocks outward again.
  • the radial openings especially the radial relief openings of the extension of the Hemmblocks surrounded by a radially outer Umlenkhülse, which is only substantially open to the front (claim 7).
  • the escape of the gases of the maneuver cartridge takes place forward, as well as a sharp cartridge. But there is a further deflection and thus also sufficient security in insufficient unscrewed maneuver cartridge device or when firing a sharp cartridge.
  • Fig. 1 the front part of a rapid-fire rifle 1 is shown, which has a hand guard 49, from the forward of a barrel 47 protrudes.
  • a muzzle fire damper 35 is screwed so tight that it is not solvable without the aid of workshop tools.
  • a tube 19 of a maneuver cartridge device 3 is screwed.
  • An annular gap 17 forms the outlet opening for the propellant gases forward.
  • muzzle fire damper 35 and maneuver cartridge device 3 The construction of muzzle fire damper 35 and maneuver cartridge device 3 is shown in FIG.
  • the orifice fire damper 35 has a continuous, over-caliber bore 51 which extends from the mouth of the barrel 47 over a short, cylindrical portion which merges into an inner cone 39, widening therefrom and extending substantially cylindrical to the reject opening.
  • an inner fine thread is arranged, which is the Mother part of a threaded connection 41 forms.
  • elongated, outwardly expanding gas outlet openings 37 are arranged, which connects the bore 51 with the region radially outside of the muzzle fire damper 35.
  • These gas outlet openings 37 are conventional.
  • the outer surface of the muzzle flash is cylindrical.
  • the maneuver cartridge device 3 consists of three parts: the central tube 19, a Hemmblock 5 and an outer sleeve 15th
  • the tube 19 fits into the bore 51 of the muzzle fire damper 35 and has at the rear end to an outer cone 23 which fits exactly to the inner cone 39 of the muzzle fire damper 35 and together with this one dense, the independent relative rotation between the pipe 19 and muzzle fire damper 35 preventing conical or Conical seat forms.
  • the tube 19 also has two external threads, which produce a threaded connection 11 with the hem block 5 and the threaded connection 41 with the muzzle fire damper 35. These external threads are fine threads.
  • Tube 19 is screwed into an internal thread blind bore in Hemmblock 5 until the front end face of the tube 19 is firmly seated on the bottom of the blind bore. Then, the threaded connection 11 is secured by a transverse spring pin 21. Tube 19 and Hemmblock 5 now form a unit.
  • the tube 19 is now screwed into the muzzle-fire damper until the conical seat between the inner cone 39 and the outer cone 23 of the muzzle-fire damper 35 and the tube 19 is made. Now sits the external thread of the threaded connection 41 fully in the internal thread.
  • the tube 19 is penetrated by a central core bore 25 which has more than caliber diameter and is substantially cylindrical, except for a constriction 27, which sits just before the front end of the muzzle fire damper 35 and before the external thread of the threaded connection 41 and locally the soul bore to narrowed to a nozzle bore 29.
  • the constriction 27 forms a narrow transverse web, while the diameter of the nozzle bore 29 regulates the backflow of the combustion gases in the barrel 47, which is necessary for the reloading of the rifle 1 when using maneuver cartridges.
  • two opposing, large radial bores 31 are provided, which pass through the wall of the tube 19. All combustion gases entering the core bore 25 leave them through the radial bores 31.
  • the core bore 25 is continued in a central core bore 9 of the same diameter, which forms a blind hole.
  • the Hemmblock 5 continues to the rear in one piece by a tubular extension 7, whose substantially cylindrical inner diameter corresponds approximately to the outer diameter of the front part of the Hemmblocks.
  • This inner diameter is seated substantially sealingly on the center and the rear of the cylindrical outer surface of the muzzle flash damper 35.
  • an expansion space 33 is formed in this, which is formed by a widening of the inner diameter of the extension 7. This expansion space connects the radial bores 31 with the gas outlet openings 37 of the muzzle fire damper 35.
  • the sleeve 15 is sealingly secured to the rear of the outside of the extension 7, such as by shrinking or welding.
  • This sleeve 15 has a stepped inner bore whose smaller diameter rear portion is seated on the outer surface of the extension 7, while the larger diameter front portion is spaced from the outer surface of the extension 7.
  • This front part covers by far the Gas outlet openings 13, has at its front end a distance from the outer surface of the extension 7 and thereby forms the annular gap 17.
  • This annular gap is the forward facing gas outlet opening of the maneuver cartridge device 3rd
  • the inner surface of the sleeve 15 is tapered outwardly toward the annular gap 17, while the outer surface of the extension 7 widens conically there.
  • the constriction 27 with the nozzle opening 29 has been practically sheared off by a projectile 45, so that instead a free passage 43 has been created.
  • the core holes 9, 25 were not or only slightly widened.
  • the materials for hem block 5, tube 19 and sleeve 15 are selected to best suit the particular purpose.
  • the tube 19 is tough, but stretchable, because of the relatively low resistance that the constriction 27 opposes a projectile 45, and because of the at least large bore bore 25, the tube 19 is largely loaded on train, if accidentally a sharp cartridge is fired.
  • the Hemmblock 5, however, is tough and hard, so that he can not be shot through.
