Description

subject of the invention

The invention relates to a silencer for a handgun, in particular a pistol, and a handgun with a silencer according to the invention.

Background of the Invention

The term “handguns” means handguns, such as recoil-operated weapons, gas-operated weapons, pistols or the like. The invention is described using the example of a pistol, although the present invention is not limited to this and can also be used with long guns.

It is known to provide firearms with a silencer in order to reduce the sound emissions caused by the gases escaping from the muzzle of the barrel when a shot is fired, which are under high pressure and expand explosively.

Mufflers usually have a muffler housing and a muffler insert arranged in the muffler housing. As a rule, silencers function in such a way that the hot gases escaping from the barrel of the weapon are cooled by the silencer insert of the silencer and/or slowed down or expanded by turbulence.

Muffler inserts must be cleaned and/or serviced regularly to prevent a reduction in muffling performance. The muffler insert is removed from the muffler housing, cleaned and then reinserted into the muffler housing. After reinserting the silencer insert into the silencer housing, it must be ensured that the shot channel formed in the silencer insert runs coaxially with the gun barrel. If it is removed from and reinserted into the muffler housing 11 multiple times, it may happen that the muffler insert is no longer firmly seated in the muffler housing, i.e. it is arranged with a certain amount of play in the muffler housing. This can mean that after repeated insertion of the silencer insert into the silencer housing, it can no longer be guaranteed that the firing channel formed in the silencer insert runs coaxially with the barrel of the weapon when the silencer is attached to the weapon.

object of the invention

The object of the invention is to provide a silencer that can be serviced easily and safely, while still ensuring that the firing channel of the silencer insert runs coaxially with the barrel of the weapon even after repeated maintenance.

Detailed description of the invention

On the one hand, the silencer according to the invention described below has the significant advantage that it can be attached or assembled and disassembled on the weapon particularly easily, safely and quickly, in particular without screwing. On the other hand, the silencer according to the invention has the advantage that it can also be used for handguns that have a movable barrel or a self-loading function without having to use an impulse generator for this, while the self-loading function of the handgun is maintained.

However, the silencer according to the invention has proven to be particularly advantageous in the simple and safe handling during maintenance of the silencer insert. Only the muffler housing has to be removed to clean the muffler insert, for example.

However, the one-piece or one-piece design of the fastening rail and the silencer insert is particularly advantageous for the silencer according to the invention. Attaching the mounting rail to the handgun's mounting rail (e.g. Picatinny rail) creates a rigid connection between the mounting rail and the handgun's mounting rail. Ultimately, the silencer insert is also rigidly connected to the mounting rail of the handgun, so that the silencer insert cannot move relative to the handgun, which has the advantage that the firing channel formed in the silencer insert always runs coaxially with the gun barrel when a shot is fired. With conventional silencers, where the silencer insert is removed from the silencer housing for maintenance, it cannot be guaranteed that the silencer insert will still be securely seated in the silencer housing even after several shots, i.e. it can happen that after just a few shots (e.g. due to different thermal expansions silencer insert and silencer housing) the silencer insert is arranged with play in the silencer housing, so that it can no longer be guaranteed that the shot channel formed in the silencer insert runs coaxially to the gun barrel when a shot is fired.

For the purposes of the present invention, one-piece means that the silencer insert 50 and the fastening rail 30 form an integral unit and cannot be detached from one another without being destroyed. For example, the muffler insert 50 and mounting rail 30 may be fabricated, such as milled, from a single piece of aluminum (or other material suitable for a muffler insert). In one embodiment of the invention, provision can be made for the silencer insert 50 and the fastening rail 30 to be produced by means of a 3D printing process, something from a plastic or from a metal. In one piece or in one piece also means that the silencer insert 50 and the fastening rail 30 can be manufactured separately from one another and then assembled in such a way that they cannot be separated from one another in a non-destructive manner.

1 shows a muffler 10 according to the invention in a sectional view along a longitudinal axis of the muffler 10.

In the embodiment shown here, the muffler 10 comprises a muffler housing 11, a muffler insert 50 and a fastening rail 30. According to the invention, the muffler insert 50 and the fastening rail 30 are designed in one piece or in one piece.

The silencer housing 11 here has a rear end wall HE, which in the installed state faces the gun barrel 91 of the handgun 90, and a front end wall VE opposite the rear end wall. A U-shaped profile of the muffler housing 11 extends between the rear end wall and the front end wall, as shown in section A-A. Within the meaning of the present invention, U-shaped profiles are also understood to be profiles which have two largely parallel side walls, the two side walls being connected to one another via a semicircular profile. All that is important for the purposes of the present invention is that the profile of the muffler housing 11 running between the front and rear end walls is designed such that the muffler housing 11 can be pushed onto the muffler insert 50 or placed onto the muffler insert 50 .

According to the 1 In the embodiment shown, the muffler housing 11, which has a profile according to section AA, is pushed onto the muffler insert 50 from above along the arrow.

According to one embodiment of the invention, however, it is also possible for the muffler housing 11 to have only a front end wall VE but no rear end wall HE. In this case, the silencer housing 11 can be removed either from above (as in 1 shown) or pushed onto the silencer insert 50 from the front. In this case, the rear side of the silencer insert 50 (on the side facing the weapon barrel 91 ) is closed in a gas-tight and pressure-tight manner and has only one opening there that corresponds to the firing channel 20 of the silencer insert 50 .

In a further embodiment according to the invention, it is also possible for the muffler housing 11 to have neither a front end wall VE nor a rear end wall HE. In this case, the silencer housing 11 can also be removed either from above (as in 1 shown) or pushed onto the silencer insert 50 from the front. In this case, the silencer insert 50 is closed gas-tight and pressure-tight on its rear side (on the side facing the weapon barrel 91) and on its front side and has an opening corresponding to the firing channel 20 of the silencer insert 50 on the front and rear sides .

In one embodiment of the invention, the muffler housing 11 can also have a largely circular profile, as also shown in a section CC in 1 shown. The muffler housing 11 can thus be configured largely in the form of a cylinder, with the “cylinder” only having to have a recess 46 in its cylinder wall, which runs parallel to the longitudinal axis of the “cylinder” and preferably over the entire length of the “cylinder”. In this case, the muffler housing 11 has only one front end wall VE, so that the muffler housing 11 can be pushed onto the muffler insert 50 from the front. In this case, the rear side of the silencer insert 50 (on the side facing the weapon barrel 91 ) is closed in a gas-tight and pressure-tight manner and has only one opening there that corresponds to the firing channel 20 of the silencer insert 50 .

The two in 1 Sections AA and CC shown are only intended to clarify that the muffler housing 11 can have different profiles.

In a very special embodiment of the invention, however, it can also be provided that the profile of the muffler housing 11 changes over the length of the muffler housing 11, for example transitioning from a profile according to section CC to a profile according to section A-A. This can be advantageous when the cross section of the silencer insert 50 changes over its length.

If the silencer housing 11 has a rear and/or a front end wall, an opening 25 is provided in each of these end walls, which is arranged coaxially with the weapon barrel 91 when the silencer 10 is attached to the handgun. The opening 25 formed in the rear end wall HE can be designed in such a way that the front end of a gun barrel engages or can be engaged.

A firing channel 20 is formed in the silencer insert 50 and is also arranged or runs coaxially with the weapon barrel 91 when the silencer 10 is attached to the handgun 90 .

The fastening rail 30 is arranged on the lower side of the muffler insert 50 and extends here in the longitudinal direction, i.e. parallel to the longitudinal axis LA of the muffler insert 50 over the entire length of the muffler insert 50. However, it is also possible for the fastening rail 30 to only extend over a partial area below the silencer insert 50 extends. In both cases, the fastening rail 30 protrudes beyond the muffler insert 50 on the rear side of the muffler insert 50 . The silencer 10 is fastened to the handgun, preferably to a mounting rail 94 (e.g. to a Picatinny rail) of the handgun 90, with the section of the fastening rail 30 protruding on the rear side of the silencer insert 50.

In an alternative embodiment, the fastening rail 30 can also be arranged on the rear end wall of the silencer insert 50 and can extend there in the longitudinal direction parallel to the longitudinal axis LA of the firing channel 20 of the silencer insert 50 . In this case, the underside of the silencer insert 50 is designed in such a way that it is gas- and pressure-tight.

In the embodiment shown here, the fastening rail has a U-shaped profile. Longitudinal guides 32 are provided on the two side walls 31 of the U-shaped fastening rail 30 and run parallel to the longitudinal axis of the fastening rail 30 .

Section BB shows the cross section of a muffler insert 50. A firing channel 20 is formed in the muffler insert 50, as explained above. The outer profile of the muffler insert 50 is designed in such a way that the muffler housing 11 can be pushed or placed onto the muffler insert 50 can. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the outer profile of the muffler insert 50 is designed in such a way that the muffler housing 11 can be pushed or placed onto the muffler insert 50 in a largely form-fitting manner.

Locking means 45 can be provided on the silencer housing 11 and on the fastening rail 30 or on the silencer insert 50, with which the silencer housing 11 can be locked or releasably fastened on the fastening rail 30 or on the silencer insert 50. The locking means 45 can include boreholes on the muffler housing 11 and corresponding boreholes (e.g. blind boreholes) on the fastening rail 30 or on the muffler insert 50 for receiving fastening screws.

The muffler housing 11, the muffler insert 50 and/or the mounting rail 30 are designed in such a way that after the muffler housing 11 has been placed on the muffler insert 50, the muffler insert 50 is located in a largely gas-tight and pressure-tight chamber, with the can passing through the muffler housing 11 and the fastening rail 30 or a lower end of the silencer insert 50 is formed. Only the openings 25 are still present.

The muffler housing 11 can have guide grooves or guide springs that correspond to the guide springs or guide grooves provided on the mounting rail 30 and/or on the muffler insert 50, the guide grooves and guide springs being designed so that the muffler housing 11 on the mounting rail 30 and/or on the muffler insert 50 postpone. Alternatively, the guide springs and guide grooves can each be arranged in such a way that they can be mutually engaged when, for example, the muffler housing 11 is placed onto the muffler insert 50 from above, as in FIG 1 shown. On the one hand, the guide springs and guide grooves ensure that the muffler housing 11 is pushed on or placed securely.

A rear end section 35 of the fastening rail 30 is designed in such a way that it lies flush with the trigger guard of the handgun, at least in sections, when the silencer 10 is fastened to the handgun 90 . For details, refer to 4 described.

A mounting rail can be provided on the underside of the mounting rail 30, to which an accessory can be attached, such as a laser unit or the like.

2 shows a silencer 10 according to the invention, which is arranged or attached to a mounting rail 94 of a handgun. The muffler 10 is pushed onto the mounting rail 94 with the section of the fastening rail 30 protruding on the rear side of the muffler insert 50 . When attached to the handgun, the firing channel 20 of the silencer insert 50 and the openings 25 of the silencer housing 11 run coaxially with the weapon barrel 91.

The handgun mounting rail 94 is located on the underside of the handgun handpiece and below the breech block 93 of the handgun. The mounting rail 94 runs essentially parallel to the gun barrel 91 and can extend to the trigger guard.

The gun barrel or the front end of the gun barrel 91 protrudes into the opening 25 of the silencer housing 11, it being advantageous if the front end of the gun barrel 91 closes this opening 25 in a largely gas-tight and pressure-tight manner.

3 shows a perspective view of a silencer 10 according to the invention, the silencer housing 11 being pushed or placed onto the silencer insert 50 . Depending on the specific configuration, the muffler housing 11 can be placed onto the muffler insert 50 from above or from the front. Correspondingly, the muffler housing 11 can also be removed or pulled off the muffler insert 50 upwards or to the front. The silencer housing 11 is detachably fastened to the silencer insert 50 or to the fastening rail 30 by means of the locking means 45 . Here, too, the fastening rail 30 and the silencer insert 50 are designed in one piece or in one piece according to the invention.

At the in 3 shown embodiment of the mounting rail 30, each side wall 31 has an axially extending guide groove 32, which extends substantially over the entire length of the mounting rail 30. These guide joints 31 correspond to the guide groove of the mounting rail 94 of the handgun.

It when the inner profile of the mounting rail 30 to the outer profile is particularly advantageous is adapted to the mounting rail 94 of the handgun.

A transverse channel is formed in a lower region of the fastening rail 30 and runs essentially parallel to the transverse axis of the silencer 10 . The transverse channel is provided for receiving a locking or locking device, which is not shown here, for locking the silencer or the fastening rail 30 to the mounting rail 94 of the handgun. The locking or arresting device ensures that the silencer 10 cannot become detached from the weapon on its own.

In the 3 The longitudinal guides 32 shown can extend over the entire length of the area of the fastening rail 30 that protrudes from the silencer insert 50 . However, it is also possible for the longitudinal guides 32 to only extend over a specific area, which ultimately depends on the specific configuration of the corresponding longitudinal guides of the mounting rail 94 of the handgun. It is only important that the longitudinal guides 32 of the fastening rail 30 correspond to corresponding longitudinal guides on the mounting rail 94 of the handgun.

With the silencer shown here, it is possible to mount the silencer on a handgun particularly quickly and easily. Because the silencer only has to be pushed onto the mounting rail of the handgun, which is provided below the barrel.

Because the silencer is not attached to the movable slide/bolt or to the movable barrel, but to the frame or grip of the handgun or to the mounting rail of the handgun, the barrel can move backwards independently of the silencer, so that a The weapon's self-loading function is not impaired by the silencer.

4 shows a rear end section 35 of a fastening rail 30 of a silencer 10 according to the invention in a perspective view.

A support surface is formed at the rear end, which is essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis LA of the fastening rail 30 . Furthermore, the support surface runs between two wings formed at the rear end, the wings being arranged essentially perpendicularly to the support surface and running parallel to the longitudinal axis of the fastening rail 30 . The two wings protrude backwards at the support surface.

The support surface 36 itself has a convex surface here and is designed in such a way that it corresponds to a concave surface of a trigger guard of a handgun. When the silencer 10 according to the invention is mounted on the handgun, the convex surface of the fastening rail 30 and the concave surface of the trigger guard “engage” so that the convex surface lies essentially flush with the concave surface. The concave surface of the trigger guard thus forms a counter support surface which prevents the silencer 10 from tipping down after a shot has been fired.

The distance between the two wings is chosen so that it essentially corresponds to the width of the front end of the trigger guard of the handgun.

5 shows a perspective view of a silencer 10 according to the invention in a sectional view along the longitudinal axis of the silencer 10.

Visible here is the silencer housing 11, which is detachably arranged from the silencer insert 50 and has two side walls, a front and a rear end wall and an upper wall running between the two side walls and the two end walls.

In the interior of the muffler housing 11 the muffler insert 50 is arranged, which is also designed here according to the invention in one piece or in one piece with the fastening rail 30 . The muffler housing 11 shown here can be pulled off the muffler insert 50 upwards or forwards.

The silencer insert 50 has a number of lamellae 51 . A firing channel 20 is formed in the silencer insert 50, which extends between the openings 25 of the silencer housing 11 and runs coaxially with the gun barrel when the silencer 10 is attached to the handgun.

6 shows a further exemplary embodiment of a silencer 10 according to the invention.

The silencer 10 consists essentially of a silencer housing 11 and a fastening rail 30, the fastening rail 30 protruding on the side of the silencer insert 50 facing the gun barrel of the handgun. In this embodiment, the muffler insert 50 and the mounting rail 30 are one piece designed, so together form an integral unit.

A rear end portion 35 of the mounting rail 30 is adapted so that the silencer 10 can be attached to the breech 93 (slide) of the handgun. The end section 35 of the fastening rail 30 is preferably designed in such a way that the silencer 10 can be detachably fastened to the breech block of the weapon.

The rear end section here has a substantially U-shaped profile, the open side of the profile being on the lower side of the end section 35 . In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the profile of the rear end section 35 is designed in such a way that it largely corresponds to the outer profile of the breech block (in particular with the front end section of the breech block) of the handgun. The rear end section 35 of the fastening rail 30 can then be placed or pushed onto the breech block of the handgun.

In an embodiment of the in 6 Silencer 10 according to the invention as shown can be provided on or in the profile of latching means, for example latching pins, which can be brought into engagement with corresponding latching means on the closure piece, so that silencer 10 is locked on the closure piece after being pushed onto the closure piece.

The muffler housing 11 can be pushed or placed onto the muffler insert 50 from below or from the front.

What is essential for the present invention is that the silencer insert 50 and the fastening rail 30 are designed in one piece or in one piece and the silencer housing 11 can be placed or pushed onto the silencer insert 50 .

7 essentially shows the in 3 shown muffler, the muffler insert 50 and the mounting rail 30 are designed in one piece or in one piece. In contrast to the in 3 muffler 10 shown, the muffler housing 11 comprises two plates 40, one plate 40a being attached to the muffler insert 50 from the left side and the other plate 40b being attached to the muffler insert 50 from the right side. In 7 the silencer 10 according to the invention is shown, to which the two plates 40a, 40b are already attached. The two plates 40a, 40b shown individually are used here only for clarification.

The top of the muffler insert 50 may be an integral part of the muffler insert 50 . Alternatively, a plate 40 can also be provided on the upper side of the muffler insert 50, which is then also part of the muffler housing 11.

In a further embodiment, however, the muffler housing 11 can also comprise only one plate 40 which is fastened to the muffler insert 50 either from the left, from the right or from above.
