Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine mechanische Zielvorrichtung für Gewehre mit einem von einem Träger gehaltenen, gegenüber dem Gewehrlauf der Höhe und der Seite nach verstellbaren Korn.The invention relates to a mechanical aiming device for rifles with a grain held by a carrier and adjustable in relation to the rifle barrel in terms of height and side.

Derartige Zielvorrichtungen sind vor allem für Gewehre mit auswechselbarem Lauf bestimmt, weil dann die Kimme am lauflosen Gewehrteil fix, d.h. nicht justierbar, angeordnet und jeder Lauf für sich ein derart eingestelltes Korn erhalten kann, daß nach dem Zusammenbau stets eine richtige Treffpunktlage erreicht ist. Es muß zwar das Korn an jedem Lauf entsprechend eingestellt werden, es ist aber dann nicht erforderlich, bei jedem Laufwechsel eine neuerliche Justierung vorzunehmen. Selbstverständlich kann es aber auch bei anderen Gewehren von Vorteil sein, wenn sich das Korn sowohl der Höhe als auch der Seite nach verstellen läßt bzw. nach einer Beschädigung wieder in die richtige Lage gebracht werden kann.Such aiming devices are primarily intended for rifles with interchangeable barrels, because the rear sight is then fixed to the barrel-free rifle part, i.e. not adjustable, arranged and each barrel can receive a grain adjusted in such a way that a correct meeting point position is always achieved after assembly. The grain must be set accordingly on each run, but it is then not necessary to make a new adjustment every time the barrel is changed. Of course, it can also be an advantage for other rifles if the grain can be adjusted both in terms of height and side or can be brought back into the correct position after damage.

Bisher wird diese Art der Verstellung in der Weise erreicht, daß das Korn mit einer in eine radial zum Lauf gerichtete Bohrung des Kornträgers einschraubbaren Stiftschraube versehen, aber nicht koaxial zu dieser Stiftschraube angeordnet, sondern dazu seitlich versetzt ist. Es ergibt sich so ein von Korn und Stift gebildeter Exzenter, bei dessen Verdrehung das Korn die gewünschte Seitenverstellung erfährt. Da es sich dabei aber auch um eine Verdrehung der Stiftschraube in der Gewindebohrung des Kornträgers handelt, ist in ungünstiger Weise mit der Seitenverstellung des Korns auch stets ein Ein- oder Ausschrauben in die bzw. aus der Gewindebohrung und damit eine Höhenverstellung des Korns verbunden. Es lassen sich also die Seiten- und Höhenverstellung des Korn nicht unabhängig voneinander durchführen bzw. es ist mit jeder Höhenverstellung auch eine Verstellung der Seite nach und umgekehrt verbunden. Nachteilig bei der bekannten Justiermöglichkeit des Korns wird auch empfunden, daß das Korn bei einem vorhandenen, vorzugsweise tunnelförmigen Kornschutz in eine asymmetrische Lage innerhalb des Kornschutzes kommt, wenn ein Seitenversatz notwendig ist, wobei die asymmetrische Lage des Korns das Zielen erschwert, weil der Schütze unwillkürlich immer versucht, das Korn optisch in das Zentrum bzw. in die Mittellinie des Korntunnels od. dgl. zu bringen.So far, this type of adjustment has been achieved in such a way that the grain is provided with a stud screw which can be screwed into a bore of the grain carrier directed radially to the barrel, but is not arranged coaxially with this stud screw, but is laterally offset. The result is an eccentric formed by the grain and pin, when the grain is rotated the desired lateral adjustment is made. However, since this is also a rotation of the stud in the threaded hole of the grain carrier, screwing or unscrewing into and out of the threaded hole and thus a height adjustment of the grain is always disadvantageously associated with the lateral adjustment of the grain. The side and height adjustment of the grain cannot therefore be carried out independently of one another, or an adjustment of the side to and from and vice versa is associated with each height adjustment. A disadvantage of the known adjustment possibility of the grain is also felt that the grain comes with an existing, preferably tunnel-shaped grain protection in an asymmetrical position within the grain protection if a lateral offset is necessary, the asymmetrical position of the grain making it difficult to aim because the shooter involuntarily always tries to bring the grain optically into the center or the center line of the grain tunnel or the like.

Aus der FR-A-1 273 241 ist auch eine Zielvorrichtung bekannt, bei der in einem Ansatz an der Oberseite eines Gewehrlaufes eine in diesen reichende Radialbohrung vorhanden ist, in der ein zylindrischer Bolzen höhenverschieb- und verdrehbar angeordnet ist. Der Bolzen ist an seiner außenliegenden Stirnseite mit einem zu seiner Drehachse exzentrisch angeordneten Korn ausgestatter und in seiner Höhenlage gegenüber dem Gewehrlauf durch eine in einem Gewinde einer Querbohrung des Ansatzes eingeschraubten, an der glatten Mantelfläche des Bolzens angreifenden Stellschraube fixierbar. Durch Verdrehung des Bolzens wird eine Seitenverstellung des Korns erreicht. Nachteilig bei dieser Konstruktion ist, daß zur Seiten- oder Höhenverstellung des Korns die Stellschraube gelockert werden muß. Danach muß der Bolzen von Hand aus solange entweder gehoben oder gesenkt werden bis die gewünschte Höhenlage erreicht ist, worauf der Bolzen in dieser Lage durch Anziehen der Stellschraube gesichert werden muß. Zur seitlichen Einstellung des Korns muß jedoch die Stellschraube gelockert werden, um den Bolzen verdrehen zu können. Bei Lockerung der Stellschraube fällt jedoch der Bolzen aufgrund seines Eigengewichtes in die Bohrung, da es nicht möglich ist ihn von Hand aus in der bereits eingestellten Höhenlage zu halten und gleichzeitig zur Seiteneinstellung des Korns zu verdrehen. Auch bei umgekehrter Vorgangsweise, d.h. zuerst Einstellung der seitlichen Einstellung und danach Einstellung der Höhenlage des Korns treten die gleichen Probleme auf, da die beiden Einstellungen nicht unabhängig voneinander vorgenommen werden können.A target device is also known from FR-A-1 273 241, in which there is a radial bore extending into this in a shoulder on the top of a gun barrel, in which a cylindrical bolt is arranged so as to be vertically displaceable and rotatable. The bolt is equipped on its outer end face with a grain arranged eccentrically to its axis of rotation and can be fixed in its height position relative to the rifle barrel by a set screw screwed into a thread of a transverse bore of the attachment and engaging on the smooth outer surface of the bolt. A lateral adjustment of the grain is achieved by turning the bolt. A disadvantage of this construction is that the adjusting screw must be loosened for the lateral or height adjustment of the grain. Then the bolt must either be raised or lowered by hand until the desired height is reached, whereupon the bolt must be secured in this position by tightening the set screw. For the lateral adjustment of the grain, however, the set screw must be loosened in order to be able to turn the bolt. If the set screw is loosened, however, the bolt falls into the hole due to its own weight, since it is not possible to hold it by hand at the height already set and at the same time twist it to adjust the grain laterally. Even with the reverse procedure, i.e. first setting the lateral setting and then setting the height of the grain, the same problems occur because the two settings cannot be made independently.

Somit liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, diese Mängel zu beseitigen und eine mechanische Zielvorrichtung der eingangs geschilderten Art zu schaffen, die eine Höhenverstellung des Korns ohne gleichzeitigen Seitenversatz bzw. eine seitliche Kornverstellung ohne merkliche Veränderung des Korns der Höhe nach ermöglicht und eine vergleichsweise robuste und einfach betätigbare Konstruktion der zum Korn gehörenden Teile ermöglicht.The invention is therefore based on the object of eliminating these deficiencies and of creating a mechanical aiming device of the type described at the outset, which enables a height adjustment of the grain without a simultaneous lateral offset or a lateral grain adjustment without a noticeable change in the grain according to the height and a comparatively robust and easy to operate construction of the parts belonging to the grain.

Die Erfindung löst die gestellte Aufgabe dadurch, daß zur Seitenverstellbarkeit des Korns der Träger um den Gewehrlauf verschwenkbar und ein am Gewehrlauf fixierter Finger vorgesehen ist, an dem sich eine im Träger mit dessen Schwenkachse normal kreuzender Achse gelagerte Stellschraube abstützt, wobei das Korn zu seiner Höhenverstellbarkeit in einer Radialbohrung zur Schwenkachse des vorzugsweise ein Korntunnel bildenden Trägers eingeschraubt ist.The invention solves the problem in that for the lateral adjustability of the grain of the carrier can be pivoted about the gun barrel and a finger fixed to the gun barrel is provided, on which a set screw supported in the carrier with its pivot axis crossing axis is supported, the grain being adjustable in height is screwed into a radial bore to the pivot axis of the carrier, which preferably forms a grain tunnel.

Wird die Stellschraube betätigt, so schwenkt der Träger um den Gewehrlauf in der einen oder anderen Richtung, weil ja die Stellschraube an dem am Gewehrlauf fixierten Finger abgestützt ist. Dieses Verschwenken des Trägers bringt die gewünschte seitliche Kornversetzung mit sich, wobei es sich beim Verschwenken aber nur um wenige Winkelgrade handelt, so daß der dabei vom Kornende beschriebene Kreisbogen bloß unmerklich von einer Geraden abweicht und demanch der auftretende Höhenversatz ohne weiteres vernachlässigt werden kann. Die Verstellung des Korns der Höhe nach durch mehr oder weniger Einschrauben in die Radialbohrung des Trägers hat auf die Seitenlage des Korn selbstverständlich keinen Einfluß, so daß die Kornversetzung der Höhe und der Seite nach voneinander vollkommen unabhängig durchführbar ist. Da jeweils nur eine Schraube betätigt zu werden braucht, ist die Justierung verhältnismäßig einfach, und es weist die gesamte Konstruktion keine Teile auf, die mit besonderer Präzision hergestellt werden müßten oder erhöhter Verletzungsgefahr ausgesetzt sind. Da der Träger selbst den Korntunnel bildet und in ihm gleichzeitig das .Korn seitenfest gehalten ist, wird beim Verschwenken des Trägers zum seitlichen Kornversatz das Korn nicht aus der Tunnelmitte verlagert, so daß es auch keine diesbezügliche Zielerschwernis gibt.If the set screw is actuated, the carrier pivots around the rifle barrel in one direction or the other because the set screw is supported on the finger fixed to the rifle barrel. This pivoting of the carrier brings with it the desired lateral grain displacement, but it is only a few angular degrees when pivoting, so that the circular arc described here from the grain end merely imperceptibly deviates from a straight line and the resulting height offset can therefore be neglected without further notice. The adjustment of the grain height by more or less screwing into the radial bore of the carrier has of course no influence on the lateral position of the grain, so that the grain displacement of the height and the side can be carried out completely independently of one another. Since only one screw needs to be operated at a time, the adjustment is relatively simple and the entire construction has no parts that are manufactured with particular precision should be exposed to or increased risk of injury. Since the carrier itself forms the grain tunnel and at the same time the. Grain is held firmly in place, when the carrier is pivoted to the lateral grain offset, the grain is not shifted from the center of the tunnel, so that there is no target difficulty in this regard.

Eine besonders zweckmäßig Konstruktion wird dadurch erreicht, daß die als Wurmschraube ausgebildete Stellschraube eine mittige Ringnut aufweist, in die der Finger mit einem Endwulst eingreift, wobei der Träger einen Schlitz für den Durchtritt des Fingers in die Bohrung für die Stellschraube besitzt.A particularly expedient construction is achieved in that the set screw designed as a worm screw has a central annular groove into which the finger engages with an end bead, the carrier having a slot for the passage of the finger into the hole for the set screw.

Um die Verstelleinrichtung in der jeweils gewünschten Stellung zu sichern, ist die Stellschraube mit umfangsseitigen Rastausnehmungen versehen und das stiftförmige Korn verbreitert sich zu einer Scheibe, die an ihrer Unterseite Rastausnehmungen aufweist, wobei in einer gemeinsamen, zur Kornachse parallelen Trägerbohrung federnd auseinandergedrückte, in die Rastausnehmungen von Stellschraube und Scheibe eingreifende Riegelkörper angeordnet sind. Hier ergibt sich eine Konstruktionsvereinfachung dadurch, daß für die Riegelkörper von Stellschraube und Kornscheibe nur eine gemeinsame Trägerbohrung mit einer gemeinsamen Feder vorgesehen ist.In order to secure the adjusting device in the respectively desired position, the set screw is provided with circumferential locking recesses and the pin-shaped grain widens into a disk which has locking recesses on its underside, spring-pressed into a common carrier bore parallel to the grain axis into the locking recesses locking body engaging locking screw and washer are arranged. Here, there is a simplification of the construction in that only one common carrier bore with a common spring is provided for the locking bodies of the adjusting screw and the grain disk.

In weiterer Ausbildung der Erfindung ist eine am Finger im Schlitzbereich des Trägers abgestützte, eine Flanke der Ringnut der Stellschraube gegen den Endwulst drückende Feder vorgesehen. Durch diese Feder werden etwaige Herstellungsungenauigkeiten ausgeglichen und eine feste Trägerstellung ohne Bewegungsspiel trotz der unvermeidbaren Herstellungstoleranzen erreicht.In a further embodiment of the invention, a spring supported on the finger in the slot area of the carrier and pressing a flank of the annular groove of the adjusting screw against the end bead is provided. Any manufacturing inaccuracies are compensated for by this spring and a fixed support position is achieved without any play in spite of the inevitable manufacturing tolerances.

Schließlich gibt die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung noch die Möglichkeit, daß am Träger rückseitig ein hochklappbares Zusatzkorn einer Nachtvisiervorrichtung vorgesehen ist. Dieses selbstleuchtende Zusatzkorn legt sich beim Hochklappen vor das eigentliche Korn und erlaubt so dem Schützen ein ungefähres Zielen auch bei schlechtester Beleuchtung, ohne daß es notwendig wäre, ein gesondertes Nachtkorn mitzuführen und dann auf das eigentliche Korn aufzustecken, wobei das Zusatzkorn, da es ja am Träger angeordnet ist, die Korneinstellung der Seite nach zwangsläufig mitmacht.Finally, the design according to the invention also gives the possibility that a foldable additional grain of a night sighting device is provided on the back of the carrier. This self-illuminating additional grain lies down in front of the actual grain when folded up and thus allows the shooter to aim roughly even in the worst lighting conditions, without it being necessary to carry a separate night grain and then to attach it to the actual grain, the additional grain, since it is on Carrier is arranged, the grain setting inevitably takes part.

In der Zeichnung ist der Erfindungsgegenstand in einem Ausführungsbeispiel dargestellt, und zwar zeigen

  • Fig. 1 den Vorderteil einer mechanischen Zielvorrichtung für ein Gewehr mit einem auswechselbaren Lauf im Teilschnitt nach einer durch die Achse des Gewehrlaufes verlaufenden Mittelebene und
  • Fig. 2 einen Schnitt nach der Linie 11-11 der Fig. 1.
In the drawing, the subject of the invention is shown in one embodiment, namely show
  • Fig. 1 shows the front part of a mechanical aiming device for a rifle with an interchangeable barrel in partial section along a central plane extending through the axis of the gun barrel and
  • 2 shows a section along the line 11-11 of FIG. 1st

Der Vorderteil der Zielvorrichtung besteht aus einem am Gewehrlauf 1 festsitzenden Finger 2 und einem um den Gewehrlauf 1 schwenkbaren Kornträger 3, der ein Korntunnel 4 bildet und eine Radialbohrung 5 aufweist, in der das Korn 6 eingeschraubt ist. Das Korn 6 verbreitert sich zu einer Scheibe 7 und trägt einen in der Radialbohrung 5 gelagerten Gewindeansatz 8. Der aufgerichtete Finger 2 besitzt einen an seinen Seitenflanken abgerundeten Endwulst 9, mit dem er in eine mittige Ringnut 10 einer als Wurmschraube ausgebildeten Stellschraube 11 eingreift. Die Stellschraube ist in einer die Achse des Gewehrlaufes 1 bzw. die Schwenkachse des Trägers normal kreuzenden Trägerbohrung gelagert, wobei der Träger 3 einen Schlitz 12 für den Durchtritt des Fingers 2 in die Bohrung für die Stellschraube 11 aufweist.The front part of the aiming device consists of a finger 2 which is stuck to the gun barrel 1 and a grain carrier 3 which can be pivoted about the gun barrel 1 and which forms a grain tunnel 4 and has a radial bore 5 into which the grain 6 is screwed. The grain 6 widens to a disk 7 and carries a threaded shoulder 8 mounted in the radial bore 5. The erected finger 2 has an end bead 9 which is rounded on its side flanks and with which it engages in a central annular groove 10 of a set screw 11 designed as a worm screw. The set screw is mounted in a carrier bore that normally crosses the axis of the gun barrel 1 or the pivot axis of the carrier, the carrier 3 having a slot 12 for the passage of the finger 2 into the bore for the set screw 11.

In einer Sackbohrung 13 des Fingers 2 ist eine Druckfeder 14 abgestützt, die auf die Seitenwand des Schlitzes 12 wirkt und die in Fig. 2 rechte Flanke der Ringnut 10 der Stellschraube 11 gegen den Endwulst 9 des Fingers 2 drückt. Um die jeweils eingenommene Stellung der Stellschraube 11 und des Korns 6 zu sichern, weist die Stellschraube 11 umfangsseitige Rastausnehmungen 15 auf, und es ist die Unterseite der Scheibe 7 ebenfalls mit Rastausnehmungen 16 versehen. In einer gemeinsamen, zur Kornachse parallelen Trägerbohrung 17 sind zwei durch eine Feder 18 auseinandergedrückte Riegelkörper 19, 20 gelagert, die in die Rastausnehmungen 15, 16 eingreifen.In a blind bore 13 of the finger 2, a compression spring 14 is supported, which acts on the side wall of the slot 12 and presses the right flank of the annular groove 10 of the adjusting screw 11 against the end bead 9 of the finger 2 in FIG. 2. In order to secure the respectively assumed position of the adjusting screw 11 and the grain 6, the adjusting screw 11 has locking recesses 15 on the circumferential side, and the underside of the disk 7 is also provided with locking recesses 16. In a common carrier bore 17 parallel to the grain axis, two locking bodies 19, 20 are pressed apart by a spring 18 and engage in the locking recesses 15, 16.

Um eine Seitenverstellung des Korns 6 zu erreichen, braucht nur die Stellschraube 11 verdreht zu werden. Da diese am Endwulst 9 abgestützt ist, bleibt sie an Ort und Stelle, wogegen der Träger 3 eine entsprechende Schwenkbewegung nach der einen oder anderen Seite ausführt. Um eine Korrektur der Höhe nach zu erreichen, wird das Korn 6 mit Hilfe seines Gewindeansatzes 8 mehr oder weniger weit in die Radialbohrung 5 eingeschraubt.In order to achieve a lateral adjustment of the grain 6, only the set screw 11 needs to be turned. Since this is supported on the end bead 9, it remains in place, whereas the carrier 3 carries out a corresponding pivoting movement to one side or the other. In order to achieve a height correction, the grain 6 is screwed more or less far into the radial bore 5 with the aid of its threaded shoulder 8.

An der Rückseite des Trägers 3 ist noch ein um eine Achse 21 hochklappbares Zusatzkorn 22 gelagert, das mit einer selbstleuchtenden Auflage versehen ist und bei schlechter Beleuchtung hochgeklappt wird und das Visier 6 abdeckt bzw. ersetzt. Zur Sicherung des Zusatzkorns 22 in seinen beiden Endstellungen dient wieder eine gefederte Rasteineinrichtung 23.On the back of the carrier 3 there is also an additional grain 22 which can be folded up about an axis 21, which is provided with a self-illuminating pad and is folded up in poor lighting and covers or replaces the visor 6. A spring-loaded locking device 23 again serves to secure the additional grain 22 in its two end positions.
