Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a locking device for firearms, in particular for repeating rifles, comprising a cartridge chamber, an outer sleeve and a chamber accommodated therein, the chamber having a locking head in the region facing the cartridge chamber and a control piece in the chamber opposite and opposite the locking head is axially displaceably mounted, further comprising a chamber lever which is connected to the control piece, so that when the chamber lever is moved backwards, the closing head is unlocked and locked as it progresses, the chamber lever being pivotably mounted in the rear end region of the sleeve and the chamber lever around an axis is pivotally mounted, which extends eccentrically to the longitudinal axis of the chamber.
  • a locking device for firearms in particular for repeating rifles, known with a cartridge chamber, with an outer sleeve and a chamber accommodated therein, the chamber in the area facing the cartridge chamber has a breech head and a control piece is mounted within the chamber, so that at The locking head is unlocked during the backward movement of the chamber lever and locked as it continues.
  • the closure head is not rotatably mounted.
  • the locking takes place via locking elements in the form of balls which are pressed outwards against the inner wall of the closure sleeve via a bevelled front end face of the control piece when it is pushed forward.
  • the chamber lever has a favorable rear position in this weapon, but the locking via the bullets mentioned has proven disadvantageous in practice.
  • a breech for a firearm has also become known in which the straight lever is located directly above the trigger and allows good handling due to this position.
  • the locking takes place here via an expandable sleeve, which is not always reliable.
  • the closures each have only a comparatively short stroke of the control piece, which is determined by the position of the lever axis and the point of contact with the control piece.
  • the stroke is only about 8-10 mm, which only allows locking with an expandable sleeve, balls or limited rotation at an angle of rotation of up to about 20 °, for example.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a breech, in particular a straight-action breech, for a firearm with the features of the type mentioned at the outset, which, with a simple construction and tool-free dismantling, ensures secure locking via a rotating breech head.
  • control piece is connected to the chamber lever via an intermediate piece, which projects radially outward from the chamber, that the closure head is rotatably mounted in the chamber about its axis and that the closure head is rotated by axially displacing the control piece.
  • the control piece is connected to the chamber lever via an intermediate piece. Since the axis around which the chamber lever swings, is arranged eccentrically (based on the longitudinal axis of the chamber) and the intermediate piece, on which the chamber lever engages, on which side of the weapon opposite the pivot axis of the chamber lever can be attached and is still located radially on the outside, is also the point of application of the chamber lever on the Intermediate piece at a comparatively large distance from the pivot axis of the chamber lever, which in turn has the result that a large longitudinal stroke of the intermediate piece and thus of the control piece is achieved during the pivoting movement of the chamber lever. This comparatively large longitudinal stroke of the control piece is then converted into a rotary movement of the closure head with a correspondingly large angle of rotation, as a result of which a secure locking of the closure head is achieved.
  • the intermediate piece is displaceably guided in the longitudinal direction in at least one groove or recess in the wall of the sleeve.
  • this results in an additional guide for the intermediate piece in the sleeve, and the intermediate piece can be arranged radially on the outside to such an extent that it not only extends beyond the chamber in the radial direction, but also at least partially beyond the sleeve.
  • the intermediate piece is also guided in a longitudinally displaceable manner in an elongated hole in the chamber.
  • an articulated connection of the chamber lever to the intermediate piece is provided via an axle element, the axis of which runs parallel to the axis about which the chamber lever is pivotably mounted, the axle element being arranged radially outside the flight of the chamber when viewed in plan view.
  • the axis element is thus at a comparatively large distance (in the transverse direction of the weapon) from the pivot axis of the chamber lever, which results in a long pivot path and thus a large distance when the chamber lever is actuated, which the intermediate piece travels when the chamber lever is withdrawn. This in turn leads to a large longitudinal stroke of the control piece and thus to a large angle of rotation of the closure head.
  • a locking bolt is arranged laterally radially outside in the chamber, approximately in its rear end region, which interacts with a spring-loaded rocker, the rocker and the locking bolts being released from the sleeve when the chamber lever is withdrawn, and the locking bolt then being in a appropriate Recess of the control piece engages, whereby its axial movement is blocked.
  • control pin in the front area on the control piece, which engages in a control groove in a partial section of the closure head, from which the front area of the control piece is concentrically received.
  • the intermediate piece for connection to the control piece has an extension or a lug with which it engages in a radial bore in the control piece, projecting radially inward.
  • the axle pin which serves as a pivot axis for the chamber lever, is mounted so that it can be pressed in in its axial direction, the chamber lever being released by pressing in and the firing pin assembly can be removed axially to the rear.
  • the axle element via which the chamber lever is pivotally connected to the intermediate piece, engages in a transverse groove on the underside of the intermediate piece.
  • the intermediate piece has a groove on the top, via which it is displaceably guided when the chamber lever is actuated in order to execute a pivoting movement of the chamber lever in relation to a widened rear part of the chamber.
  • the Figures 1 and 2 Reference and the basic structure of the closure according to the invention is explained based on this. Both representations show the lock in the locked and unlocked position. It is a straight-line closure arranged in an essentially tubular cylindrical sleeve 1, the front closure head 2 of which is rotatably but not displaceably mounted in a chamber 3, which is also roughly cylindrical in basic form, the chamber 3 in turn being accommodated coaxially in the cylindrical sleeve , As in the front view according to the Figures 7 a and 7 b can be seen, the closure head 2 has locking elements 7 which are designed radially on the outside as warts and can be coupled into and out of corresponding locking elements 8 of the barrel or the sleeve 1. On its rear side, the closure head 2 has at least one control groove 11 (see also Figures 6a, 6b ) that has a constant or a progressive slope.
  • the locking head 2 is fixed in its axial movement relative to the chamber 3 by the shoulder 10.
  • a control piece 4 is provided, which is mounted axially displaceably in the closure head 2 and in the sleeve 3.
  • the control piece 4 has in its front end region a radially outwardly extending control pin 12, the surface of which is in contact with the control groove 11 of the closure head 2 (see also Figures 6 a and 6 b).
  • the chamber lever 6 which is pivotally movably and positively pivoted about an axle pin 16 at the rear end of the chamber 3 (see also Figures 11a, b and 12 ).
  • This enables quick and tool-free dismantling.
  • the control piece 4 By pivoting the chamber lever 6 around the axle pin 16, the control piece 4 is moved in the axial direction via an intermediate piece 17 connected to it.
  • the movement of the intermediate piece 17 can be compared quite well Figures 8 a and 8 b on the one hand and also the Figures 11 recognize a and 11 b.
  • the intermediate piece 17 is axially displaceably mounted in the chamber 3 and connected to the control piece 4 by the nose 18 (see Figures 2 and 4 ).
  • the intermediate piece 17 is connected to the chamber lever 6 by the transverse groove 19 and the axle element 20 (see Figure 16 ).
  • a locking pin 21 with a spring-loaded rocker 22 is arranged (see Figure 2 ). This locking pin 21 snaps into a recess 23 (see Figure 2 ) when moving chamber 3 out of sleeve 1 while repeating the weapon (see Figure 4 ).
  • the control piece 4 is pressed forward by the closing spring 9, which facilitates the closing process and keeps the closing head 2 in the locked position (see Figure 2 ).
  • control piece 4 is shown without the chamber 3, in which it is axially displaceably mounted.
  • the control groove 11 in the closure head 2 and the control bolt 12, which is guided in this control groove 11, can be seen quite well here.
  • the control piece 4 moves back over the intermediate piece 17, not shown here, then this leads to the rotary movement of the closure head in the in Figure 6b position shown.
  • the comparatively large longitudinal stroke of the control piece 4 can be seen.
  • the end views according to the Figures 7 a and 7 b show the size of the angle of rotation in the previously described process of locking the closure head 2 and it can be seen that it is a rotation angle of approximately 60 °, which is considerably more than in known from the prior art devices. Furthermore you can see in the Figures 7 a and 7 b the outline shape of the closure head 2 in its end region, which is shaped with lugs, projections or the like so that in the position according to Figures 7 a / 6 a the lock is given while after rotating into position according to Figure 7b the closure head 2 fits positively into a correspondingly shaped inner contour in the sleeve 1 and can therefore slide back in the sleeve.
  • FIGS. 8 a and 8 b each show a side view in the rear area of the weapon, whereby the connection between the intermediate piece 17 and chamber lever 6 can be seen, as well as the elongated hole 24 in the chamber, in which the intermediate piece 17 in the first phase of the movement of the chamber lever 6 backwards , until the locking head 2 is unlocked.
  • the closure with the chamber 3 moves axially out of the sleeve 1 and the intermediate piece 17 is then locked in relation to the chamber 3.
  • FIGs 9 a and 9 b show the respective side views of the Figures 8 a and 8 b, where in Figure 9 looks at the gun from above.
  • the intermediate piece 17 has a groove 26 on the top side, via which it is displaceably guided when the chamber lever 6 is actuated in order to execute its pivoting movement relative to the rear part of the chamber. Because the intermediate piece 17 is guided in two mutually perpendicular areas (once on the sleeve 1 and once on the wider rear part of the chamber 3), it is caught on the weapon during its movement.
  • the widened rear part of the chamber is designed such that it lies flush against the rear end of the sleeve 1 when the chamber 3 is pushed into the sleeve 1 (see Figures 1 and 2 ).
  • FIGs 11 a and 11 b again show in the locked and in the unlocked position the area with the chamber lever 6 and the intermediate piece 17, the chamber lever 6 being seen here from below, so to speak.
  • the axle pin 16 can be seen, around which the chamber lever 6 pivots and one sees the pin 20, which defines the pivot point of the articulated connection between the chamber lever 6 and the intermediate piece 17.
  • Figure 12 shows a section through the chamber lever 6, in which one recognizes the axle pin 16 and the groove 26 on the top of the intermediate piece 17th
  • Figure 13 shows the chamber lever 6 with the intermediate piece 17 and in the sectional view according to Figure 14 you can see the chamber lever 6 with the axle pin 16 for its hinge axis. Furthermore, in Figure 14 the nose 18 can be seen, via which the intermediate piece 17 is connected to the control piece 4.
  • Figure 15 basically shows the side view of Figure 13 , so that you can see the chamber lever 6 from below.
  • the section line runs through the axle pin 16 and through the pin 20, so that one can see here how the chamber lever 6 is connected in an articulated manner to the intermediate piece 17 via the pin 20.
