Abstract

ABSTRACT OF DISCLOSURE
The invention concerns an automatic, mass-obturated hand firearm comprising a body (1) with handle (2), a barrel (3) joined to the body, a sliding plug (4) with guide (5) constituted by the body and with cocking and firing mechanism (7), the guide of the sliding plug ascending rearward so that the rearward path of motion of the sliding plug deviates upward from the centre-line (8) of the barrel. The purpose is to eliminate the problem of automatic hand firearms that during shooting the barrel tends to rise upwards.
As taught by the invention, when the sliding plug (4) is in its forward position its centre of gravity (9) is located forward of the handle (2). The sliding plug (4) is preferably so disposed that it pushes to be in its major part forward of the rear end (10) of the barrel (3). Furthermore, the centre of gravity (9) of the sliding plug (4) is preferably located forward of the rear end (10) of the barrel (3). The guide (5) of the sliding plug (4) forms a preferably obliquely forward and downward inclined surface, against which the sliding plug rests so that when the rearward directed recoil force acts on the sliding plug this plug moves rearward and the surface of the sliding plug hits against the surface of the guide, producing on the body (1) a moment turning downward the muzzle of the barrel (3).

AUTO~ATIC HAND FIREARM
The present invention concerns an automatic hand firearm such as is defined in the introductory part of the main claim.
The above-mentioned automatic hand firearm wherein the backward path of motion of the sliding plug deviates upward from the barrel centre-line is known.
In this design of prior artin a conventional pistol, where the ammunition box is accommodated in the handle and the sliding plug has been placed substantially adjacent to the handle or on the rear side thereof, the motion path of the sliding plug has been disposed to be rearward obliquely ascending, the purpose being to shift the arm's centre of gravity and in particular the barrel as far down as possible so that the barrel might not rise upward when shooting. In practice, the sliding plug however causes on the rearward obliquely upward pointing sliding plug guide a downward urging moment behind the weapon's point of support, that is the handle, whereby the butt part of the weapon tends to turn downwards when shooting, which is manifested as a moment lifting the barrel upward. Therefore the effect of the construction is the opposite of that which was aimed at with the construction.
The object of the presen-t invention is to eliminate the drawback mentioned. In particular, the object of the invention is to provide an automatic mass-obturated hand firearm where the barrel-lifting moment of the recoil has been maximally eliminated.
Regarding the characteristic features of the invention, reference is made to the claims section.
The invention is based on such arrangement of the sliding plug's centre of gravity and of the sliding plug guide that the sliding plug, when moving rearward due to the recoil, will give rise to a moment acting ~ _ . _ ....
~, ~"
.~, ~, .

~1~95~0 forward of this fulcrum point and turning the muzzle of the barrel downward. The said, favourable moment turning the barrel down is produced, as taught by the invention, by arrangements concerning the centre of gravity of the sliding plug with re~erence to the barrel and, in particular, to the pivoting point in the wrist of the hand holding the weapon, in such manner as has been stated in the claims.
The invention is described in detail in the following with the aid of embodiment examples, referring to the attached drawings, wherein:-Fig. 1 presents, schematically and partlysectioned, a weapon according to the invention, in elevational view, Fig. 2 shows the sliding plug and barrel of the weapon of Fig. 1, in top view, Fig. 3 presents the forward part of another embodiment of the invention, partly sectioned, and Fig. 4 presents, schematically and partly ~
sectioned, a third weapon accordingto the invention in elevational view.
The mass-obturated automatic pistol depicted in Fig. 1 comprises a body 1 with handle 2, a barrel 3 joined to the body, a sliding plug 4 with guide 5 constituted by the body and with return spring 6, and the cocking and firing mechanism 7 (in the figure the cocking and firing mechanism has not been shown, except for the trigger, in order to better illustrate the construction). The weapon furthermore comprises an ammunition box 17 placed forward of the trigger. The sliding plug 4 has been disposed to move mainly encircling the barrel in a guide constituted by the body of the weapon. The guide 5 of the sliding plug 4, that is the lower half of the guiding chute, ascends rearward so that the rearward path of motion of the sliding plug d~viates upward from the centre-line of the barrel 8.

,. .

~ s taught by the invention, the centre of gravity g of the sliding plug 4 is located forward of the wrist pivoting point of the hand holding the handle 2, and thus the wéapon, when the sliding plug is in its forward position and pressed against the rear end 10 of the barrel 3. In the embodiment depicted, the sliding plug projects partly, preferably with its main part, forward of the rear end 10 of the barrel 3, and the centre of gravity 9 of the sliding plug is located forward of the rear end of said barrel, as far forward as possible.
When the weapon of the invention is used, the massive sliding plug 4, ùrged forward by the return spring 6, is cocked in its rear position with the aid of the cocking mechanism (not depicated) so that the sliding plug remains in the rear position, held by a cocking step or shoulder (not depicted) which is part of the firing mechanism. When the weapon is fired by its trigger, the obstacle retaining the sliding plug 4 in ~he rear position is removed and the cocking spring 6 fling.s the sliding plug forward, whereby the cartridge engager or shoulder 20 provided on the lower margin of the sliding plug hits. against the top margin of the uppermost cartridge 18 in the ammunition box 17, which is thus pulled along with the sliding plug and thrust into the cartridge chamber 21 of the barrel 3. On reaching its forward position, i.e. , when the cartridge engager 20 abuts on the rear end 10 of the barrel 3 and against the base of the cartridge that has been pushed into the chamber 21, an integral firing pin (not depicted) provided on the sliding plug 4 strikes against the cap of the cartridge, causing ignition of the powder charge. The energy released as the powder charge burns acts partly on the bullet, causing the bullet to fly out of the barrel, and partly on the sliding plug 4, giving rise to the recoil pushing the sliding plug back.
Since the rearward path of motion of the sliding plug 4 deviates upward from the centre-line 8 of the -1:~L99510 barrel 3 and the centre o~ gravity 9 of the slidingplug is located forward of the handle 2, the sliding plug is pushed by the recoil, not at all straight rearward but obliquely upward, forced thereto by the sliding plug guide. Therefore the sliding plug's movement that has been forced obliquelY upward and the placement of the sliding plug's c-ntre of gravity as taught by the invention give rise to a moment turning downwards the front end of the weapon and thus preventing the barrel from risin~ up during firing. The said advantageous effect is manifest both when the weapon is adjusted for continuous fire and in the case that single rounds are fired. In the embodiment of Fig. 1, the sliding plug 4 moves so that its main part comes to lie forward of the rear end 1~ of the barrel, that is to encircle the barrel.
Further, in the embodiment presented, the centre of gravity 9 of the sliding plug 4 is located forward of the rear end 10 of the barrel 3. Fig. 2 shows the structure~ of the sliding plug in top view. Thus, the sliding plug forms a hollow 14 for the barrel 3; moreover, the sliding plug has been disposed to move its main part forward of the rear end 10 of the barrel, with the barrel in said hollow.
In the embodiment of Fig. 1, the guide 5 of the sliding plug 4 forms forward fo the weapon's point of support, that is of the handle 2, an obliquely downward inclined guiding surface 11, and the sliding plug forms a similarlyt obliquely forward and downward running mating furface 12. The downward inclination of the guiding surface 11 and mating surface 12 deviates from the-inclination 30 of the guide 5 of the sliding plug 4 towards the direction of the normal on the sliding plug and/or the barrel, in other words, the guiding surface 11 and mating surface 12 are more steeplydownward inclinea than the guide 5. The said guiding surface 11 and mating surface 12 cooperate so 35 that as the sliding plug moves rearward the mating surface hits against the guiding surface, thereby causing the sliding plug to be pushed powerfully upward, which in its 99s~o turn causes a reaction, that is, powerful downward dipping of the guiding surface 11 and thus of the weapon's front end. Therefore the action of the guiding surface 11 of the guide and that of the mating surface 12 of the sliding plug having an inclination steeper than the guide 5 of the sliding plug 4 enhances the weapon's barrel-dipping feature even further.
In the embodiment depicted in Fig. 4, the guide S of the sliding plug 4 is substantially parallel with the centre-line 8 of the barrel 3. Forward of the weapon's point of support, i.e., of the handle 2, the guide forms an obliquely forward and downward inclined guiding surface 11, and the sliding plug forms a corresponding, obliquely forward and downward inclined mating surface 12. In other 15 words, the guide 5 of the sliding plug ascends rearward at the guiding surface 11, whereby when the sliding plug slides rearward as the weapon is fired, the mating surface 12 hits against the guiding surface 11, and t~is causes the sliding plug to be pushed powerfully upward. Therefore the path of the sliding plug will deviate upward from the centre-line 8 of the barrel This impact of the mating surface 12 with the guiding surface 11 causes the guiding surface 11 and the forward end of the weapon to dip strongly downward.
In Figs 1 and ~, the shape of the guiding surface 11 of the sliding plug is curved, thus conforming to the mating surface 12 on the sliding plug 4. In contrast, in the embodiment shown in Fig. 3, the guiding surface 11 is straight, conforming to`the shape and inclination 30 of the mating surface on the sliding plug 4.
In Figs 1 and 4, the weapon's cocking spring 6 with its guide spindle 14 has been attached in vertically pivoting manner in the rear portion of the weapon so that the guide spindle pushing through an aperture 15 35 provided in the upper part of the sliding plug 4 can move pivotally a certain distance upward along with the sliding plug during the initial period of the sliding . .

~L99510 plug's rearward movement, at which phase the guiding surface 11 deviating from the general inclination of the sliding plug's guide 5, and the corresponding mating surface on the sliding plug, causes the sliding plug to jump upward as has been described.
The guiding surface 11 of the guide 5 deviates in such manner from the centre-line and inclination of the ~arrel 3 that the inclination is for instance between 5 and 45, possibly even more. The mating surface 12 on the sliding plug 4 may have an inclination consistent with that of the guiding surface on the guide 5; alter-natively, the mating surface may consist of a shoulder projecting downward abruptly, e.g. at an angle of 90, from the sliding plug. Alternatively, the mating surface lS of the sliding plug 4 may subtend a relatively small angle, e.g. between S and 30, with the centre-line 8 _ of the barrel 3, and on the guide 5 has been provided a shoulder projecting abruptly upwards, e.g. at an angle of 90, to the purpose of producing a downward turning moment.
The embodiment examples are meant to illustrate the invention without in any way confining it.
