PAUL MAUSER in OBERN DORF a. Neckar. Rear shutter loader with movable barrel.

Patented in the German Empire on February 20, 1898.

So far it has not yet been possible to construct a firearm which has both the effect of a return loader, as well as that of a single loader combined in itself. However one has already made arrangements for the common multi-loading rifles to they can also be used as a single loader by placing the magazine down to be able to; However, such constructions are not applicable for return loaders, since the peculiarity of the locking mechanism and the movement of the locking piece are expedient Attaching such a parking device makes impossible. Also the other means of achieving suggested for multi-loaders from single fires are not usable for reverse material loaders for the reasons just given.

Since it is now precisely with the high rate of fire of the reverse material loader and the The resulting large consumption of ammunition is desirable for tactical reasons, which for to use weapons of this type intended for military use as a single loader can, the inventor has taken the device described below, which the fully complies with the stated purpose and the essence of which is as follows:

Starting from the principle that for military purposes all that matters is the Has to prevent the ammunition from shifting too quickly from time to time Inventor designed his new weapon in such a way that it was possible to insert the cartridges into the magazine space arbitrarily with or without a stripping or loading frame, but that the shooter is still in a certain position of the locking mechanism cannot use the rifle as a reverse stock loader, but between two successive shots a hand movement, which one must execute holds him up for almost as long as is the case when operating a single loader. The inventor attached a jamming or catching device to the rifle, which according to their respective setting the locking piece after each creation either proceed again unhindered and start charging again (rapid fire) or, holds the locking piece in the rear position; in the latter case then the Protect the release device with a special hand movement in such a way that it is activated the locking piece releases and the latter can proceed to remove a cartridge from the Insert the magazine into the barrel. So the Sagittarius cannot use the right hand consistently hold on the trigger, but must hold it between two successive shots in order to release the breech block release, so that in this way the desired slowing down of the rate of fire (Single fire) is achieved.

In the drawings is '. the subject matter of the invention is shown, namely an embodiment is illustrated in Figs. ia, ib and ic in a side view and two horizontal longitudinal sections, which initially

should enable a general understanding of the new facility.

On the left side of the locking housing 2 a rotatable lever 3 is provided which can be displaced on the housing 2 in a guide is mounted and by the leaf spring 4 dragging against that housing wall by friction is held in its respective position. The locking piece 5 is at the rear end its left side provided with an incision 6, in which with a suitable position of the Lever 3 engages the nose 7 of the latter. If you press something with your thumb the right hand on button 8 of lever 3 while pushing this lever at the same time, forward (position Fig. Ta and ib), so comes the nose 7 of the lever 3 to lie against the housing wall and the locking piece 5 can carry out its usual movement with return loaders; on the other hand, if you press the lever 3 to the rear, so the same takes the position Fig. Ic, so it engages with its nose 7 through the opening 9 in the wall of the closure housing and after each shot catches the locking piece 5 in the rear position by it is inserted into the incision 6 under the action of the spring 10. In this position So the rifle is unloaded, d. H. the empty case pulled out and the hold is closed, opens. If you now press the button 8 down, the nose 7 releases the locking piece 5 and the latter can proceed in the usual way under the action of the closing spring 11 and insert a new cartridge from the magazine into the barrel.

In Figs. 1 to 19 is another, more appropriate moderate Embodiment of the present invention shown, namely here the locking device for the locking piece in their interaction with the other parts of the return loader illustrated. Separate Mechanisms of the latter, namely the rotating block lock, the barrel blockage, the trigger device, however, the firing pin safety and the assembly of the lock do not form the subject of the present invention, but special patents. The mentioned Parts are therefore only whole in what follows with regard to their arrangement and mode of operation briefly and only so far described as to understand the mode of operation of the inhibiting device is necessary.

Figures 18 and 19 show details.

The automatic functions of the weapon drawn here take place in a similar way to in the case of the reverse material loader described in the inventor's patent No. 90430 in such a way that bezw at the Rückstofs by the sliding back run. the locking sleeve first of all Hammer is cocked, whereupon with simultaneous determination of the barrel in its rear Position, after releasing the locking piece, the latter alone goes back so far, that after ejecting the empty cartridge case, a fresh cartridge from which Coming magazine, can get in front of the locking piece, from which it is under spring pressure is pushed into the barrel; then the machine run blockage is unlocked and the run begins its forward movement, during the first phase of which the locking piece is locked takes place with the course, so that the closure has already taken place before the The barrel has reached the firing position.

In the shaft b, which is provided with a removable protective wood b ¹ , rests the barrel a, which is movable in the longitudinal direction and at the mouth of which the grain together with the grain ring a ^l is screwed on. The connection of the protective timber b ^l to the shaft b is carried out, besides by the rings b ^'z i> ³ by the C at the Verschlufsgehäuse fitting cap c ^1, over the rear edge of the protective timber of time engages (Fig. 4). At the rear end of the barrel, the two locking blocks a ¹ are arranged in special pan-like locking block bearings a ³ , which when locked

When the lock is closed, assume the position in FIG. 5, but when the lock is unlocked, assume the position in FIG. In the locking piece d the firing pin d ^{1 is} arranged, on the front part of which is provided with thread-like threads the limit spring d ' ^{2 is} screwed. At the rear end of the firing pin is provided with a slot in which a locking piece d ¹ * influenced by the extractor spring d ³ is inserted. The latter couples the firing pin to the locking piece during the loading movements (Fig. 9) and only releases the former when the inclined lower surface of d ⁱ is pushed up through the surface e ⁵ and the nose d ⁵ over the Nose d ^{iG is} lifted up. The closure is closed by the closing spring d ⁷ attached to the closing spring holder d ^e .

On the right side of the locking sleeve α ⁴ a slot is provided in which the so-called locking slide a ⁵ is located. The latter is provided with a button a ⁶ and a pressure pin a ⁸ arranged therein, which is pressed outward by the pressure pin spring a ⁷ (FIGS. 5 and 10). The inner end of the pressure pin α ⁸ is coupled to the front end of the adjustable pawl α ¹⁰ rotatable about the pin a ⁹ , which can be set for the desired delivery of "single fire" or "rapid fire" so that its nose a ¹¹ within BEZW. comes to lie outside the area of the nose d ^{8 of} the locking piece and consequently in the former case the locking piece is caught after each firing and only has to be released by pressure on the bolt a ^s , while in the latter case the locking piece is caught with each firing after the return has taken place immediately goes back and reloads.

In order to achieve the aforementioned setting for single fire or rapid fire, the so-called limit plate / is provided at the rear end of the locking sleeve, which is held in groove / ¹ on the sleeve α ⁴ and secured in its position by the lock holder / ^lx. On this boundary plate / a screw thread provided pin / ^{3 is} arranged, onto which the safety device is screwed, the wing / ^{4 of which,} when rotated, not only effects the actual safety but also the adjustment of the adjusting pawl α ^10. For the latter purpose a curve disc / ⁵ is provided namely the fuse which 'has two deep notches / ^6/8, and a shallow notch located between the latter /. So if you turn the safety wing to the right (Fig. 13), the rear end of the adjusting pawl a ¹⁰ falls with the rib a ¹² into the deep groove / ⁶ and the nose α ¹¹ therefore catches the locking piece d with each fall (single fire ). If, on the other hand, the wing / ⁴ is rotated into the central position (Fig. 14), the rib α ^Ά comes to lie in the flat notch / ⁷ , the rear end of the adjusting pawl a ⁱ⁰ is therefore pushed outwards and the nose λ ^{11 comes up} Area of the nose d ^{s of} the breech block d so that the latter is not caught (rapid fire). If you finally turn the wing / ⁴ all the way to the left (Fig. 1 5), the rib ä ¹ ' ² snaps into the notch / ⁸ , but the lower ^{extension / 9 of} the cam disc / ⁵ presses on the inclined surface g ^l the hammer lock g and pushes the latter forward against the action of the spring g ' ² , so that the inclined front surface g ³ slides up onto the corresponding inclined surface h ^{10 of} the hammer (Fig. 16), the hammer being pushed back until the Trigger bar is released. In this position (Fig. 15) both the lock and the striking device are secured and the barrel is secured against sliding back. The whole movable mechanism is immovable.

In order to hold the barrel in the rear position after each shot has been fired, a barrel blockage is used, which consists of a plate m which is rotatably arranged on the lock housing h about a bolt m ¹ and is constantly pushed outward by the spring m ^2. The Verschlufshülse α ⁴ is now provided with a cut a ^17, which are listed in Fig. 5, after the Schufs however, seen in FIG. 11 position occupies in the firing position of the gun, in which the backstop in the cutout ä ^u invaded and is held in this position by the locking piece.

In the example shown in FIGS. 18 and ig individually Schlofsgehäuse h, and in a special chamber h ¹ thereof, the hammer spring is h ^{'2 is} supported, on the one hand h by the piston ³ on the hammer / i ^4, on the other hand by the piston / i ⁵ on the pre-driver /? ^e acts, which by pressure on the catch g ° brings the barrel back into the firing position after every firing. Below the hammer spring h ' ² , the rod spring h ^{7 is} attached, which presses on the pawl A ⁸ , which rests in a pan of the trigger bar / j ^9. The trigger bar has two guide ribs A ¹² which engage in guide ^{grooves / 2 13} on the lock housing (Fig. 19). In addition, two strips ft ¹⁴ (FIG. 19) are provided ^{on the lock housing, which serve as supports for the lugs / 2 15 of} the trigger h ⁸ . The trigger i ¹ is mounted on the trigger guard i and its nose ζ ' ⁵ is pressed upwards by the trigger spring z' ² held under the strips i ³ , so that the same, as indicated in FIG. 9, is behind

the trigger h ^s sets. The spring z ' ^{2 also} serves to resiliently mount the retaining bolt z * for the base plate k * of the magazine, so that the base plate guided in the lateral grooves of the magazine can be replaced in the manner already known from earlier patents of the inventor by the in can secure an opening of this plate engaging bolts .. The feeder spring k is chosen so short that it only occupies the rear part of the magazine space, while the two ends of this spring in the usual way under the strips k ¹ on the front part of the base plate k * respectively . the feeder plate ft ² engage. In this way it is achieved that the cartridges are raised more at their rear end than at the front, which is of particular value for the safe advance of the cartridges, especially with automatic firearms.

The mode of operation of the rifle described above is as follows:

First, the rifle is unlocked and the safety wing / ⁴ is brought into the central position, that is to say in the rapid-fire position, with the rib a ¹ ' ^{2 of} the pawl a ¹⁰ coming to rest in the shallow groove f ~. Then one pulls the button α ⁶ back, whereby the approach a ²¹ lies in front of the nose d ⁸ and takes back the locking piece, which is then locked in a known manner ^{by the locking piece / c 3 of} the feeder plate k '^2; then push the button α ^β forward again into its initial position. When the locking piece is withdrawn, the hammer h * is tensioned at the same time through the shoulder a ^{1% of} the locking sleeve and partly also by the rear edge d ^{lx of} the locking piece. A stripping frame is then placed on the magazine and its filling, consisting for example of 6, 10 or more cartridges, slips into the magazine. When pulling out the empty stripping frame, the breech block snaps forward and pushes a cartridge from the magazine into the barrel; In addition, the movements to be discussed in more detail below take place here, through which the rifle is immediately ready for use. If one now pulls the trigger z ' ^{1 in order} to fire a shot, its nose ζ' ^δ pushes the trigger h ^s and the rod h ⁹ forward, so that the hammer h * is released and the ignition is triggered by striking the firing pin d of the propellant. Due to the back material that now takes place, the barrel together with the locking sleeve and the locking piece still locked with the former are first driven back until the barrel and sleeve assume the position illustrated in FIGS. 9 to 11. During this movement, the ^{barrel blockage} m entered the incision α λΊ of the rifle case; In addition, the locking blocks a ² are rotated outwards by the bevels α ²² sliding on the inclined surfaces c ¹⁰ (FIG. 10), so that they unlock the locking piece, which is now through the momentum given to it against the action of the spring d ¹ to is thrown back into the rearmost position (Fig. 10) and ejects the empty cartridge case. Here, the locking piece, as indicated in FIG. 12 , lies in front of the barrel barrier m, so that the barrel together with the rifle case is fixed. Furthermore, when the rifle case went back, the hammer h * was cocked through the attachment a ^iS - and in part also through the rear edge d ^{ly of} the locking piece; likewise the pre-driver h ⁶ is also turned to the right. ^{If the locking piece - which is not caught by the nose α 11} in the middle position of the safety wing assumed above - proceeds again under the action of the closing spring d ¹ , it pushes a cartridge out of the magazine into the barrel in a known manner. As soon as the locking piece has moved past the barrel blockage m , the pre-driver h ^% comes into play as it pushes the locking sleeve and barrel forward under the action of the spring Λ ² , whereby the rear surface of the incision α ΙΊ on the rear sloping edge of the ^{barrel barrier} m presses and pushes the latter inwards, so that the barrel is now released and is pushed completely into the firing position by the advance driver Nose d ¹¹³ gripping locking piece d ⁱ secured and only released when the closure ück with locking sleeve and barrel is moved forward so far that the lower surface of d ¹ is lifted up by the edge e ⁵ , whereby. the parts d * and d ^{i6 are brought} into engagement (position Fig. 4). After the locking piece has advanced so far that it has released the barrel blockage and the pre-driver can advance the barrel, the inclined surfaces a ^{23 of} the locking blocks slide inward on the edges c ¹¹ , the locking blocks are thus in the lateral incisions behind the locking piece head swiveled in and thus made the lock. You can now fire again immediately and continue this until the magazine is exhausted; the rate of fire depends only on the skill of the shooter, for the movements caused by the back material proceed with such rapidity that the weapon is always ready to fire again

before the shooter can pull the trigger again after firing a shot.

If, instead of rapid fire, single fire is to ^{be emitted, the safety wing y 4 is} turned all the way to the right so that the rib α ¹² falls into the notch / ^e , the pawl a ¹⁰ thus assumes the position in FIG. If one then fires, the movements brought about by the back material take place in the same way as in the previous case, with the exception that now the locking piece d is held in its rear position (Fig. 10) by the fact that the nose α ¹¹ of Pawl a ¹⁰ lies in front of the approach d ^{& of} the locking piece. The rifle parts remain in the position illustrated in FIGS. 9 to 12 for the time being. To make the rifle ready for action, the shooter must first press the .Druckbolzen a ^s , whereby the rear end of the pawl a ¹⁰ swings outward and the locking piece d is released. The latter is now going on again and introduces a cartridge from the magazine into the barrel. whereupon the advancement of the barrel and the locking, as described above, take place. By catching the locking piece in the rear position, a slowdown in the rate of fire is caused, which tactically under certain circumstances is of considerable value. When using maneuver cartridges or blank cartridges, the return movement of the locking piece must be carried out by hand.

With regard to the assembly of the rifle, it should finally be mentioned that the lock and magazine box are connected to the stock by a connecting screw and nut, as well as by a so-called journal bearing Z ¹ and the associated nut. After the barrel of the rifle and the parts connected with it are in the correct position, the lock housing h is first inserted, in such a way that the latter reaches with its extension e ⁴ over the central wall ^{c 2 of} the housing c. The trigger guard is then inserted in such a way that its nose i ⁶ lies behind the projection c ^{s of} the housing c , and finally the whole is secured by inserting the base plate A: ⁴ , which reaches under the trigger guard with its rear end.
