Description

La présente invention concerne un éjecteur de chargeur pour pistolets automatiques et similaires.The present invention relates to a magazine ejector for automatic pistols and the like.

Avec les pistolets classiques, l'extraction d'un chargeur vide en vue de son remplacement par un chargeur plein est une opération prenant un temps non négligeable, pouvant être critique dans certaines situations.With conventional pistols, extracting an empty magazine with a view to replacing it with a full magazine is an operation that takes considerable time, which can be critical in certain situations.

Le but de l'invention est dès lors d'équiper un pistolet d'un éjecteur destiné à refouler le chargeur hors de son logement dans la carcasse de l'arme dès que le moyen de verrouillage classique dudit chargeur est amené en position de déverouillage.The object of the invention is therefore to equip a pistol with an ejector intended to push the magazine out of its housing in the carcass of the weapon as soon as the conventional locking means of said magazine is brought into the unlocking position.

Ce but est atteint, conformément à l'invention, par un organe solidaire de la carcasse, dont une partie fait saillie dans le logement du chargeur, cet organe étant destiné à être refoulé par ledit chargeur lors de son introduction dans son logement, ce refoulement entraînant soit la déformation élastique dudit organe, soit la mise sous tension d'un ressort associé à ce dernier.This object is achieved, in accordance with the invention, by a member integral with the carcass, part of which projects into the magazine housing, this member being intended to be driven back by said magazine when it is introduced into its housing, this backflow causing either the elastic deformation of said member, or the tensioning of a spring associated with the latter.

Par ailleurs, lorsqu'un chargeur est retiré d'une arme, on ne peut toujours être certain que sa chambre soit vide. Dans la négative, les risques d'accident sont considérables.Furthermore, when a magazine is removed from a weapon, one cannot always be certain that its chamber is empty. If not, the risk of accident is considerable.

Un deuxième objet de l'invention consiste dès lors à utiliser également l'éjecteur pour interdire le fonctionnement du mécanisme d'armement, respectivement de percussion de l'arme.A second object of the invention therefore consists in also using the ejector to prohibit the operation of the arming mechanism, respectively of percussion of the weapon.

Dans une forme préférée de réalisation de l'invention, une partie de l'éjecteur susdit est destinée à refouler un élément du mécanisme d'armement, respectivement de percussion, de manière à interrompre la chaîne critique constituée par ce dernier.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, part of the above-mentioned ejector is intended to push back an element of the arming mechanism, or percussion mechanism respectively, so as to interrupt the critical chain formed by the latter.

Pour plus de clarté, l'invention est décrite plus en détail ci-après, avec référence au dessin schématique illustratif annexé, lequel est une vue simplifiée d'une arme, montrant les principaux éléments concernés par la présente invention.For clarity, the invention is described in more detail below, with reference to the accompanying illustrative schematic drawing, which is a simplified view of a weapon, showing the main elements concerned by the present invention.

L'arme représentée comporte une carcasse 1 dont la partie crosse comporte un logement 2 pour un chargeur 3. Un dispositif de verrouillage 4 permet l'immobilisation du chargeur dans ledit logement.The weapon shown comprises a carcass 1, the butt portion of which includes a housing 2 for a magazine 3. A locking device 4 allows the magazine to be immobilized in said housing.

Une détente 5 est pivotée en 6 sur la carcasse. Une extrémité d'un séparateur 7 est pivotée sur la détente 6 tandis que son autre extrémité est engagée dans un déconnecteur 8 associé au chien 9. Le dessin montre encore : le ressort de détente 10, agissant sur le séparateur 7; la gâchette 11, le percuteur 12 dans la culasse 13 ainsi que le ressort du chien 14. Ces dispositions sont connues et ne font donc pas partie de l'invention.A trigger 5 is pivoted at 6 on the carcass. One end of a separator 7 is pivoted on the trigger 6 while its other end is engaged in a disconnector 8 associated with the dog 9. The drawing also shows: the trigger spring 10, acting on the separator 7; the trigger 11, the striker 12 in the breech 13 as well as the spring of the dog 14. These arrangements are known and therefore do not form part of the invention.

L'éjecteur conforme à l'invention est constitué par un levier 15 (représenté en trait gras) monté à pivotement sur le pivot 6 susdit.The ejector according to the invention consists of a lever 15 (shown in bold line) pivotally mounted on the aforementioned pivot 6.

Un ressort 16, prenant appui sur la carcasse 1,refoule l'extrémité 17 dudit levier 15. L'autre extrémité de ce dernier comporte deux branches, respectivement 18 et 19.A spring 16, bearing on the carcass 1, pushes the end 17 of said lever 15. The other end of the latter has two branches, respectively 18 and 19.

La branche 18 s'étend dans le logement 2 et est destinée à être refoulée par le chargeur 3 lorsque ce dernier est introduit dans l'arme, faisant ainsi basculer le levier 15 en comprimant le ressort 16.The branch 18 extends into the housing 2 and is intended to be driven back by the magazine 3 when the latter is introduced into the weapon, thereby causing the lever 15 to tilt by compressing the spring 16.

L'autre branche 19 est destinée à coopérer avec un doigt latéral 20 prévu à cet effet sur le séparateur 7.The other branch 19 is intended to cooperate with a lateral finger 20 provided for this purpose on the separator 7.

Lorsque le chargeur 3 est déverouillé suite à une manoeuvre appropriée du dispositif 4, la détente du ressort 16 cause le basculement soudain du levier 15 et dès lors l'éjection du chargeur 3. Durant ce mouvement de basculement, la branche 19 refoule le doigt 20 à l'encontre du ressort 10, ce qui a pour effet de faire basculer le séparateur 7 provoquant ainsi son désengagement du déconnecteur 8. La percussion n'est dès lors plus possible aussi longtemps qu'un chargeur ne sera pas introduit dans le logement 2.When the charger 3 is unlocked following an appropriate operation of the device 4, the relaxation of the spring 16 causes the sudden tilting of the lever 15 and consequently the ejection of the charger 3. During this tilting movement, the branch 19 pushes back the finger 20 against the spring 10, which has the effect of tilting the separator 7 thus causing it to disengage from the disconnector 8. Percussion is therefore no longer possible as long as a charger is not introduced into the housing 2 .

Il est évident que de nombreuses modifications peuvent être apportées au dispositif susdécrit, sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention. Ainsi, au lieu d'être constitué d'un levier pivotant et d'un ressort, l'éjecteur pourrait être réalisé d'une pièce en acier ressort, convenablement profilé.It is obvious that many modifications can be made to the above-described device, without going beyond the ambit of the invention. Thus, instead of being constituted by a pivoting lever and a spring, the ejector could be made of a piece of spring steel, suitably profiled.
