DE2014328B2 - Magazine holding and triggering device on handguns - Google Patents

Description

The invention relates to a magazine holding and triggering device on handguns, in particular automatic rifles, with a spring-loaded trigger lever which, if the magazine is missing, the The trigger of the weapon locks. The magazine is here generally on one of its narrow sides in the Weapon hooked, while it is on the opposite side by a pawl or a release lever is locked.

In this design and in other known handguns with magazine holding and triggering device these have no direct or inadequate operative connection with the trigger of the Weapon. This can lead to an unintentional actuation of the magazine release lever or if the magazine disengages due to impact or vibration, the magazine is no longer firmly in the Gun sits; the next cartridge is consequently no longer caught by the breech block and fed to the tube. There is thus an interruption in the sequence of shots without any apparent reason for the shooter. He will now replace the not yet empty magazine with another one or the ammunition error suspect and reload or check the magazine for its tight fit. These Seconds associated with troubleshooting can, however, occur in combat for the Protecting is vital.

The object of the invention is the handling of the weapon and its function when shooting and when Changing a magazine can be improved by locking the trigger of the weapon immediately when the magazine is in use not properly engaged and thus the feeding of a cartridge is not guaranteed.

According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the trigger lever and the magazine release lever are in operative connection in such a way that when one lever is operated, the other is blocked, wherein the magazine release lever is pivotably mounted in the plane of movement of the trigger Angle lever is formed, one lever arm directly behind the trigger in the through the Trigger guard protrudes into limited space and its other lever arm with a magazine holder effecting fede! loaded pawl works together.

When the trigger is pulled, it is therefore not possible to operate the magazine release lever, on the other hand the trigger is locked when the trigger is pulled. Furthermore, this is also blocked if the magazine is removed. This arrangement is also advantageous in that the pivoting movement of the magazine : the eye lever is converted into a longitudinal movement of the pawl, with the help of only one spring both the pawl and the magazine release lever always return to their corresponding starting position be pushed back.

According to a further feature of the invention, the magazine release lever has on its in the trigger guard space protruding lever arm end protruding on both sides over the width of the trigger guard Handle on. It is now equally easy for left-handed and right-handed shooters to change a magazine or even just to remove it.

Furthermore, according to the invention, the magazine release lever engages with its handle when it is retracted Trigger lever into a recess formed on the rear side of the same, during an actuation the magazine release lever and the movement of the trigger when the magazines are removed blocked by placing the handle on one of the blocking surfaces formed on both sides of the recess is. The mutual safety function is thus achieved when each lever is operated, whereby the greatest possible safety for the shooter is achieved.

The invention is explained on the basis of the drawings using an exemplary embodiment. It shows

F i g. 1 in a side view and in section, the arrangement of the trigger lever and magazine holding device in rest position,

F i g. Figure 2 is a plan view of Figure 2. 1 in the direction of the arrow,
F i g. 3 in a view similar to FIG. 1 securing the trigger when the magazine release lever is activated,

F i g. 4 securing the trigger with the magazine removed,

F i g. 5 the securing of the magazine holding device when the trigger is withdrawn.

In Fig. 1, a trigger lever 2 is attached to a handgun 1 in a trigger guard space \ b located within a trigger guard la, which is rotatably mounted on a bolt 3 and is pressed against a weapon-housing-like stop Ic by a spring 4, which is supported on the weapon housing. On the opposite side of the stop Ic

Trigger lever 2, this is provided with a rectangular recess 2a perpendicular to the weapon longitudinal axis, which is delimited on both sides by blocking surfaces 26 (above) and 2c (below). Behind this recess 2a there is a handle 56 on the long arm 5a of a magazine release lever 5 designed as an angle lever 5, which is rotatably mounted on a bolt 6 fastened in the weapon housing at the intersection of its legs, while the short arm 5c is attached to a bolt 7 by means of a Pawl 8 is hinged. At the end of the pawl 8 adjacent to the magazine release lever 5 lies a spring 9 supported on the weapon housing 1, while the other end protrudes into a groove 10a of a magazine 10 and is beveled against its extraction direction. In addition, the pawl 8 is provided with a shoulder 8a, which rests against a stop Ic / of the weapon housing 1 to limit the maximum stroke when the magazine 10 is removed.

In the F i g. 3, 4 and 5 is how this works Establishment explained in more detail.

Thus, Fig. 3 the position in which, after the magazine release lever 5 has been pressed down, it withdraws the pawl 8 against the force of the spring 9 from the groove 10a of the magazine 10 via its short arm 5c, so that the magazine 10 can be removed. At the same time, the handle 56 of the magazine release lever 5 is so close behind the lower locking surface 2c of the trigger lever 2 that it cannot be withdrawn. F i g. 4 illustrates how, after releasing the magazine release lever 5, it moves in cooperation with the pawl 8 due to the spring 9 in the direction of the spring force until the paragraph 8a of the pawl 8 rests against the stop id of the weapon housing. The handle 56 of the magazine release lever 5 is now behind the upper locking surface 2b of the trigger lever 2, so that it is still blocked.

According to FIG. 5, when the trigger lever 2 is withdrawn, its recess 2a is pushed under the handle 56 of the magazine release lever 5 and thus blocks the magazine holding device. Moved when you let go the trigger lever 2 in the direction of the spring force until it rests against the stop Ic.
