Description

La présente invention concerne un lanceur double de projectiles à canons basculants, notamment à canons de gros calibre de 40 à 50 mm.The present invention relates to a double launcher of projectiles with tilting cannons, in particular with large caliber cannons from 40 to 50 mm.

Le lanceur de projectiles conforme à l'invention est destiné, dans ses différentes versions, à trois domaines différents d'utilisation :

  • - à titre d'arme de défense rapprochée à domicile, d'un grand effet dissuasif, mais sans risque de tuer ou de blesser grièvement l'agresseur ;
  • - comme arme anti-émeutes, d'une grande efficacité pour le tir de balles en matière souple de fort diamètre ou de conteneurs de liquides colorants ou lacrymogène, ne nécessitant pas l'emploi d'explosif pour leur mise en oeuvre et ne risquant pas de blesser ou de tuerles personnes visées;
  • - sous forme d'arme alourdie à usage militaire, enfin, en vue du tir de petits obus explosifs fusants, fumigènes ou anti-chars.
The projectile launcher according to the invention is intended, in its different versions, for three different fields of use:
  • - as a close defense weapon at home, a great deterrent, but without the risk of killing or seriously injuring the aggressor;
  • - as a riot weapon, very effective for firing bullets in flexible material of large diameter or containers of coloring liquids or tear gas, not requiring the use of explosive for their implementation and not risking injure or kill the persons concerned;
  • - in the form of a heavier weapon for military use, finally, with a view to firing small explosive, fusing, smoke or anti-tank shells.

Ce dernier type d'arme est connu dans la technique et est en usage notamment dans l'armée américaine (type d'arme M79 d'un calibre de 40 mm). Des armes analogues à cadence de tir supérieur sont aussi en cours d'études aux Etats-Unis et dans d'autres pays.The latter type of weapon is known in the art and is used in particular in the American army (type of weapon M79 with a caliber of 40 mm). Similar weapons with a higher rate of fire are also being studied in the United States and other countries.

On connaît également des armes anti-émeutes, mais qui sont généralement à réarmement manuel ou semi-automatique, ce qui constitue un sérieux inconvénient.Anti-riot weapons are also known, but which are generally with manual or semi-automatic rearming, which constitutes a serious drawback.

Un premier but de l'invention est de doubler la cadence de tir des armes de ce type en utilisant des canons juxtaposés montés basculants.A first object of the invention is to double the rate of fire of weapons of this type by using juxtaposed cannons mounted tilting.

Un autre but de l'invention est de proposer une telle arme, dont les deux canons permettent un chargement et un tir sélectif avec des munitions différentes.Another object of the invention is to propose such a weapon, the two guns of which allow loading and selective firing with different munitions.

L'invention vise également à proposer une arme de ce type dont les canons repliables sur le bec de crosse facilite le transport malgré son calibre important.The invention also aims to propose a weapon of this type whose foldable barrels on the butt end of the stock facilitates transport despite its large caliber.

L'invention vise enfin à proposer une arme qui puisse être adaptée aux trois domaines entièrement différents d'utilisation mentionnés ci-dessus, sans risque d'interférence ou de substitution.The invention finally aims to propose a weapon which can be suitable for the three entirely different areas of use mentioned above, without risk of interference or substitution.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un lanceur de projectiles à deux canons parallèles montés basculants par rapport à la crosse, caractérisé en ce que lesdits canons sont portés par une table montée pivotante à l'extrémité d'une poutre dont l'autre extrémité est fixée sur un bloc de bascule solidaire de la crosse.To this end, the subject of the invention is a projectile launcher with two parallel guns mounted tilting relative to the stock, characterized in that said guns are carried by a table mounted to pivot at the end of a beam whose other end is fixed on a rocker block secured to the stick.

Avantageusement, ladite table aura une forme telle qu'en position de tir du lanceur, elle chevauche ladite poutre en escamotant ainsi au moins partiellement cette dernière.Advantageously, said table will have a shape such that in the launch position of the launcher, it overlaps said beam, thus at least partially retracting the latter.

Selon une caractéristique préférentielle de l'invention, le bloc de bascule comporte un usinage transversal dans lequel est disposé parallèlement à l'axe de ladite poutre un ensemble de percussion et des chiens dont les têtes sont apparentes en position basculée des canons; en vue de permettre leur armement manuel.According to a preferred characteristic of the invention, the rocker block comprises a transverse machining in which is disposed parallel to the axis of said beam a percussion assembly and dogs whose heads are visible in the tilted position of the cannons; to allow their manual arming.

Cet ensemble de percussion comprendra, de préférence, des percuteurs à pastilles montés sur une paroi mince dudit bloc, chaque percuteur étant maintenu enserré par une épingle en corde à piano, qui fait office de ressort et de support de percuteur et est fixée sur ladite paroi par une unique vis accessible par l'utilisateur en position basculée desdits canons.This percussion set will preferably include strikers with pellets mounted on a thin wall of said block, each striker being held in place by a pin made of piano wire, which acts as a spring and striker support and is fixed on said wall by a single screw accessible by the user in the tilted position of said barrels.

Dans la description qui va suivre en référence aux figures ci-dessus, on se limitera aux éléments caractéristiques de l'invention et l'on ne décrira pas, par exemple, le verrouillage du lanceur en projectiles ou l'extraction partielle des étuis au basculement des canons, ces systèmes étant classiques et ne faisant pas partie de l'invention.In the description which follows with reference to the figures above, we will limit ourselves to the characteristic elements of the invention and we will not describe, for example, the locking of the launcher in projectiles or the partial extraction of the cases at tilting. guns, these systems being conventional and not part of the invention.

Comme on le voit sur les figures 1 et 2, le lanceur de projectiles conforme à l'invention comprend deux canons 1 à axes parallèles, montés basculants par rapport à une crosse désignée par la référence générale 2.As can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, the projectile launcher according to the invention comprises two barrels 1 with parallel axes, mounted tilting relative to a stock designated by the general reference 2.

Conformément à l'invention, les canons 1 sont portés par une table de bascule 3, qui n'est pas prise dans la masse du bloc bascule 4, lui-même fixé sur la crosse, mais est distincte de celui-ci et placée entre les canons 1 et sous les chambres. Cette table est articulée par un axe 5 à l'extrémité d'une poutre 6 dont l'autre extrémité est engagée dans un alésage 7 du bloc-bascule 4 et est rendue solidaire de celui-ci par un écrou 8 vissé dans un taraudage axial 9 de ladite poutre.According to the invention, the barrels 1 are carried by a rocking table 3, which is not taken from the mass of the rocking block 4, itself fixed on the stick, but is distinct from the latter and placed between cannons 1 and under the chambers. This table is articulated by an axis 5 at the end of a beam 6, the other end of which is engaged in a bore 7 of the rocker block 4 and is made integral with the latter by a nut 8 screwed into an axial thread 9 of said beam.

La table de bascule 3 comporte à sa partie inférieure un évidement 10, qui vient coiffer en position de tir la poutre 6 en l'escamotant au regard et en la protégeant ainsi de l'extérieur.The tilting table 3 has at its lower part a recess 10, which covers the beam 6 in the firing position, retracting it to the eye and thus protecting it from the outside.

La charnière de basculement peut naturellement être munie d'un bouton d'arrêt limitant la course de basculement des canons ou, au contraire, les libérant de manière à permettre leur retournement complet contre le bec de crosse, en vue de faciliter le transport de l'arme.The tilting hinge can naturally be provided with a stop button limiting the travel of tilting of the barrels or, on the contrary, releasing them so as to allow their complete overturning against the butt of the butt, in order to facilitate the transport of the weapon.

On notera que le système de basculement avec une poutre reliant la table de bascule et le bloc de bascule permet de diminuer sensiblement la hauteur de l'arme au niveau du canon, à l'emplacement de l'articulation , comme le montre la figure 1, qui est une vue à l'échelle 1/1 d'une forme de réalisation.It will be noted that the tilting system with a beam connecting the tilting table and the tilting block makes it possible to significantly reduce the height of the weapon at the level of the barrel, at the location of the articulation, as shown in FIG. 1 , which is a 1/1 scale view of an embodiment.

Le bloc de bascule 4 est conçu de façon à pouvoir loger le système de percussion d'une façon telle que l'ensemble se présente sous une forme très compacte. Ce bloc, usiné dans la masse, est très rigide et son placage à l'arrière de l'ensemble basculant est très simplifié par rapport aux moyens de la technique antérieure, du fait de l'amovibilité de la poutre 6, dont les dimensions longitudinales peuvent être ainsi aisément ajustées.The rocker block 4 is designed so as to be able to house the percussion system in such a way that the assembly is presented in a very compact form. This block, machined in the mass, is very rigid and its plating at the rear of the tilting assembly is very simplified compared to the means of the prior art, due to the removability of the beam 6, the longitudinal dimensions of which can thus be easily adjusted.

Le bloc de bascule comporte un évidement transversal dans lequel est logée la batterie de percussion de façon telle que les chiens 11 (figure 3), articulés sur le bloc-support 4 des axes 12, se déplacent parallèlement à l'axe de la poutre 6, l'ensemble de la batterie de percussion étant rendu solidaire du bloc de bascule 4 par une unique vis 14 accessible de l'extérieur.The rocker block has a transverse recess in which the percussion battery is housed so that the dogs 11 (FIG. 3), articulated on the support block 4 of the axes 12, move parallel to the axis of the beam 6 , the entire percussion battery being made integral with the rocker block 4 by a single screw 14 accessible from the outside.

Les pièces de la batterie de percussion sont logées dans un élément monobloc 15, de dimensions réduites, par exemple 40 x 40 x 15 mm, à l'extérieur duquel des poussoirs 16 peuvent faire saillie sous la sollicitation de ressorts 17, pour actionner les chiens 11 qui sont du type à marteau rebondissant 6 Les ressorts 10 prennent appui à l'arrière sur un bloc 18, sur lequel sont montées pivotantes les gâchettes 19. Le bloc 18 a une forme de coin à 90° et vient s'engager dans un évidement de forme complémentaire de l'élément 15, dont il est rendu solidaire par une unique vis 20. Les axes des poussoirs 16 font entre eux un angle de 90°,The parts of the percussion battery are housed in a monobloc element 15, of reduced dimensions, for example 40 x 40 x 15 mm, outside of which pushers 16 can protrude under the stress of springs 17, for actuating the dogs 11 which are of the rebounding hammer type 6 The springs 10 bear at the rear on a block 18, on which the triggers are pivotally mounted 19. The block 18 has a 90 ° wedge shape and engages in a recess of complementary shape of the element 15, of which it is made integral by a single screw 20. The axes of the pushers 16 form an angle of 90 ° between them,

On notera que les axes 12 des chiens 11 sont articulés à une extrémité de ceux-ci à l'opposé du point de crochetage à l'armé par les gâchettes 19, ce point étant situé par exemple à 30 mm de l'axe 12 des chiens. On adoucit ainsi les départs et on évite la fatique des crochetsd'armement. Le retour des gâchettes en position est assuré par des ressorts à boudins 21.It will be noted that the axes 12 of the dogs 11 are articulated at one end of these opposite the hooking point to the cocked by the triggers 19, this point being located for example at 30 mm from the axis 12 of the dogs. This softens the starts and avoids the weariness of the hooks. The return of the triggers in position is ensured by coil springs 21.

Les dimensions du logement de la batterie de percussion et des chiens seront telles qu'en position basculée des canons, les têtes 11a des chiens 11 soient apparentes et permettent un armement manuel, à l'aide du pouce et de l'index, par l'utilisateur.The dimensions of the housing of the percussion battery and of the dogs will be such that in the tilted position of the cannons, the heads 11a of the dogs 11 are visible and allow manual cocking, using the thumb and forefinger, by the 'user.

Or notera également la simplicité du montage et du démontage de ce bloc de percussion, qui, après dévissage de la seule vis 14, peut être dégagé du bloc bascule 4 aussi bien sur la gauche que sur la droite de celui-ci.However, note also the simplicity of assembly and disassembly of this percussion block, which, after unscrewing the single screw 14, can be released from the rocking block 4 both on the left and on the right thereof.

Les détentes 23 sont d'un type classique et sont montées sur une pièce 24 qui assure la liaison basse de la poignée de crosse avec le bloc de culasse par deux vis 25, qui assurent également la fixation du pontet 26.The detents 23 are of a conventional type and are mounted on a part 24 which ensures the bottom connection of the grip handle with the breech block by two screws 25, which also ensure the fixing of the trigger guard 26.

Les percuteurs 28 (figures 4 à 7)sont du type à pastille et leur tête sera maintenue par une épingle en corde de piano ou similaire, qui servira à la fois de support de percuteur et de ressort de rappel. Les branches de cette épingle seront pincées entre une vis 30 fixée sur une paroi mince 31 du bloc-support et une rondelle 32, dans des saignées parallèles 33 de laquelle seront logées lesdites branches. Contrairement aux systèmes de la technique antérieure, les percuteurs à pastilles selon l'invention sont donc maintenus flottants par l'épingle ressort 29 et ne sont solidaires du bloc-support que par une unique vis 30, accessible de l'extérieur.The strikers 28 (FIGS. 4 to 7) are of the pellet type and their head will be held by a pin made of piano cord or the like, which will serve both as a striker support and as a return spring. The branches of this pin will be clamped between a screw 30 fixed on a thin wall 31 of the support block and a washer 32, in parallel grooves 33 from which said branches will be housed. Unlike the systems of the prior art, the strikers with pellets according to the invention are therefore kept floating by the spring pin 29 and are secured to the support block only by a single screw 30, accessible from the outside.

Dans l'application du lanceur double conforme à l'invention au lancement de projectiles constitués par exemple par des balles de caoutchouc ou en un autre matériau souple, on pourra utiliser avantageusement une munition dont l'étui 34 représenté sur les figures 9 et 10 pourra être constitué d'une matière plastique moulée, et servira de support à une cartouche séparée de poudre propulsive qui sera introduite au culot dans le logement 35, où elle sera maintenue en place par serrage de la matière plastique. Le même étui peut servir non seulement au chargement de projectiles en matière souple, maisde conteneurs de liquides colorants ou autres pour l'utilisation du lanceur de projectiles comme engin anti-émeutes.In the application of the double launcher according to the invention to the launching of projectiles consisting for example of rubber bullets or of another flexible material, one can advantageously use a munition whose case 34 shown in Figures 9 and 10 may be made of molded plastic, and will serve as a support for a separate cartridge of propellant powder which will be introduced into the base in the housing 35, where it will be held in place by clamping the plastic.
