Definitions

• the invention relates to a closure system with the features of the preamble of claim 1, according to RU 2 678 934 C1 .
• a wedge breech block for a barrel weapon is known.
• the wedge breech block has a locking wedge that can be opened downwards perpendicular to the bore axis of the weapon barrel.
• a vertical wedge bolt for a large-caliber gun is known, which can be opened and closed by means of a cradle-mounted external drive and a cradle-mounted opening lever.
• the DE 10 2009 037 899 A1 discloses a wedge breechblock for a barrel weapon with a base plate connected to the rear of the weapon barrel.
• the wedge breechblock has several locking devices that hold the breechblock wedge in an open position when loading the weapon.
• the breechblock wedge remains in its open position as long as a rammer holds the locking devices in a position that locks the wedge breechblock when loading a cartridge.
• a barrel weapon with a barrel breech is known, each featuring a wedge breech.
• the wedge breech has a base piece and a breech wedge, which can be opened and closed via a breech mechanism.
• a spring-loaded control unit with movable elements is arranged on the cradle. These actuate the breech mechanism on the base piece when the base piece has advanced far enough after a shot has been fired that these elements come into contact.
• a locking mechanism is located on the base of the wedge breech, which can be used to open and close the wedge breech.
• a guide mechanism is fixed to the cradle of the barrel weapon, which can be used to operate a lever of the locking mechanism to open and close the breech. If the wedge breech is to remain closed after firing, the guide mechanism must be manually swung away.
• the already known gun barrel bolts have an opening lever and a closing lever for manual opening and closing apart from firing a shot, which are operated separately.
• existing rifle barrel bolts do not allow for intermediate positions of the bolt wedge between the fully open and closed positions. This means that externally driven bolts can only be opened when fully advanced, preventing smoke extractors from achieving optimal effectiveness.
• the object of the invention is to create a locking system that automatically locks in the open position.
• a locking system for a weapon barrel, in particular one mounted in a cradle, displaceable from a rest position to a return position, comprising a locking system for a barrel weapon, in particular with a weapon barrel displaceable in a cradle from a rest position to a return position, comprising a base piece with a locking wedge displaceable, in particular transversely to the bore axis of the weapon barrel, between a closed and an open position, a locking mechanism attached to the base piece and a cradle-fixed guide piece with a guide element, wherein the guide element has an actuating element for actuating the locking mechanism, wherein the locking mechanism has a lever mechanism actuable by the actuating element.

• a tube weapon is provided with a cradle and a weapon barrel displaceably mounted in the cradle from a rest position to a return position, comprising at least one such locking system or one further developed as follows.
• the bolt wedge is thus held in place by the bolt mechanism. Loading the weapon and closing the bolt can thus be decoupled. The bolt wedge can thus be kept open independently of loading and unloading.
• the actuation of the bolt in particular the opening of the bolt, is carried out by the actuating element attached to the cradle.
• the bolt is opened by the actuating element and simultaneously actuated by the lever mechanism in such a way that the bolt can be locked in its open position by the locking lever.
• the locking system is a gun barrel lock.
• the locking mechanism has a locking support which interacts with the locking lever and which can be unlocked by the locking lever via an unlocking mechanism which is coupled to the locking support.

• the unlocking mechanism is connected to an unlocking cam which is arranged in the base piece opening.
• the release cam is actuatable by a part of the automatic loader, such as a cartridge loading head, a loading tray or a loading head.
• the unlocking mechanism can be actuated independently of the loading process by a part of the automatic loader, such as a cartridge loading head, a loading tray, or a loading head.
• the unlocking mechanism is not unlocked immediately after the cartridge is loaded, but only after a part of the automatic loader has been removed from the bolt.
• the bolt wedge is only closed again when the part of the automatic loader retracts after the actual loading process and the unlocking cam is actuated, thereby actuating the unlocking mechanism and releasing the locking lever from the locking support.
• the locking lever is rotated for this purpose so that it is decoupled from the locking lever by the locking support.
• unlocking can also be done during the loading process in the forward/loading movement of the cartridge loading head.
• unlocking can alternatively also be carried out using the ejector levers if their forward movement during the loading process actuates the locking lever or the locking support by means of a lever, so that the locking lever is decoupled from the locking support and closes the locking wedge.
• the locking wedge is preferably caught in the open position, for which purpose the locking lever is rotated over the locking support by a return spring and is thus blocked.

• the folding lever works together with the actuating element.
• the base piece comprises a bearing in which the cradle-fixed guide piece is mounted in an axially movable manner.
• the base piece to be mounted axially movable relative to the cradle.
• the cradle-mounted guide piece acts as an anti-twist device between the base piece and the cradle, preventing the base piece from twisting relative to the cradle while still allowing axial movement.
• the locking mechanism has a rack and the lever mechanism comprises a toggle lever, wherein the toggle lever comprises a coupling, a toggle joint and a lever, wherein one end of the lever is coupled to the rack and one end of the lever is coupled to the locking lever via the toggle joint of the toggle lever.

• the rack is connected to a wedge closing spring, in particular arranged in the rack, by means of which the locking wedge can be pretensioned in the open position towards its closed position.
• the wedge closing spring slows down the locking wedge when it is moved from the closed to the open position and stores energy in the open position. When the wedge is unlocked, the wedge closing spring provides the energy to move the wedge from the open to the closed position.
• the locking system has a drive, in particular a linear drive, which is designed to realize an axial displacement between the drive and the guide element, so that the actuating element can be displaced in its position relative to the lever mechanism by the drive.

Furthermore, the drive allows the locking wedge to be positioned in intermediate positions between the closed and open positions. These intermediate positions can be reached without causing any safety issues.
• the drive and actuating element are designed such that they decouple automatically as soon as the bolt wedge is opened due to a shot being fired.
• the bolt actuation by the drive is thus decoupled from the forward movement of the recoiling mass.
• Another advantage is that only one drive is used for the opening and closing functions. Furthermore, the function of keeping the bolt closed after the shot can be implemented. All essential functions for operating the bolt wedge can be implemented by one drive, such as opening in advance, closing and opening on demand, and/or keeping the bolt closed after the shot.
