Description

L'invention concerne une arme à air comprimé à armement électrique, plus spécialement une arme du type à air compri­mé à ressort ou à pompe.The invention relates to a compressed air weapon with electric arming, more particularly a weapon of the compressed air type with a spring or a pump.

Cette arme peut être une carabine, un révolver ou autre, destiné à la compétition, un jouet, etc.This weapon can be a rifle, a revolver or other, intended for competition, a toy, etc.

Il est connu que l'inconvénient majeur des armes à ressort et à pompe est incontestablement l'armement manuel, toujours difficile même pour un adulte.It is known that the major drawback of spring and pump weapons is undoubtedly manual arming, which is always difficult even for an adult.

Le but de l'invention est de remédier audit inconvénient et à d'autres inconvénients des armes à air comprimé connues en sorte d'obtenir une arme ne nécessitant plus un arme­ment par "cassage" de l'arme.The object of the invention is to remedy said drawback and other drawbacks of known compressed air weapons so as to obtain a weapon no longer requiring arming by "breaking" the weapon.

A cet effet, une arme à air comprimé selon l'invention, du type pourvu d'un piston pouvant provoquer la compression de l'air contenu dans une chambre sous l'action d'un ressort, est caractérisée en ce que l'armement de l'arme, c-à-d. la compression dudit ressort est obtenue par la coopération, par exemple par accrochage, dudit piston avec des éléments de transport commandés par un moteur électrique alimenté par une batterie, le tout incorporé dans l'arme.To this end, an air weapon according to the invention, of the type provided with a piston capable of causing the compression of the air contained in a chamber under the action of a spring, is characterized in that the arming of the weapon, i.e. the compression of said spring is obtained by the cooperation, for example by hooking, of said piston with transport elements controlled by an electric motor powered by a battery, all incorporated in the weapon.

Afin de mieux faire ressortir les caractéristiques et avanta­ges de l'invention, des exemples de mise en oeuvre sont décrits ci-après avec référence aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels:

  • la figure 1 représente schématiquement une carabine selon l'invention:
  • la figure 2 représente à échelle agrandie la partie indi­quée par F2 à la figure 1;
  • la figure 3 représente une vue semblable à celle de la fi­gure 2 mais pour une variante;
  • la figure 4 représente une coupe selon la ligne IV-IV de la figure 3;
  • les figures 5 et 6 représentent des vues semblables à cel­le de la figure 3, dans deux autres positions.
In order to better highlight the characteristics and advantages of the invention, examples of implementation are described below with reference to the appended drawings, in which:
  • FIG. 1 schematically represents a rifle according to the invention:
  • Figure 2 shows on an enlarged scale the part indicated by F2 in Figure 1;
  • Figure 3 shows a view similar to that of Figure 2 but for a variant;
  • Figure 4 shows a section along line IV-IV of Figure 3;
  • Figures 5 and 6 show views similar to that of Figure 3, in two other positions.

La figure 1 représente une carabine à air 1 constituée, de manière traditionnelle, par deux parties principales, notam­ment le canon 2 et la crosse 3 incorporant les éléments d'ar­mement, de détente, etc...FIG. 1 represents an air rifle 1 constituted, in the traditional way, by two main parts, in particular the barrel 2 and the stock 3 incorporating the arming, trigger, etc. elements

Dans cette exécution schématique sont encore représentés: la chambre à air comprimé 4 pourvue d'un canal de sortie 5; le piston à air comprimé 6 dont la tige 7 est entourée par un ressort à boudin 8 emprisonné entre ledit piston 6 et la crosse 3; un dispositif d'accrochage 9 entre la tige 7 et une tige filetée 10 et, enfin, un écrou denté 11 engrenant avec une roue dentée 12 entraînée par un moto-réducteur électri­que 13 branché sur une pile ou batterie 14.In this schematic embodiment are also shown: the compressed air chamber 4 provided with an outlet channel 5; the compressed air piston 6, the rod 7 of which is surrounded by a coil spring 8 trapped between said piston 6 and the stock 3; a hooking device 9 between the rod 7 and a threaded rod 10 and, finally, a toothed nut 11 meshing with a toothed wheel 12 driven by an electric geared motor 13 connected to a battery 14.

Le dispositif 9 est schématisé par une partie pivotable 15 pouvant s'accrocher à l'extrémité en forme de crochet 16 de ladite tige filetée 10, la partie 15 étant pourvue, en vue de sa libération, d'un plan incliné 17 pouvant coopérer avec une butée 18 formant, en quelque sorte, la gâchette de l'arme reliée d'une manière adéquate à la détente 19. La butée 18 peut être commandée par la détente 19 tandis que le moto-­réducteur réversible 13 peut être commandé par l'intermédiare d'un bouton d'armement 20.The device 9 is shown diagrammatically by a pivotable part 15 which can be hooked to the hook-shaped end 16 of said threaded rod 10, the part 15 being provided, for its release, with an inclined plane 17 which can cooperate with a stop 18 forming, in a way, the trigger of the weapon adequately connected to the trigger 19. The stop 18 can be controlled by the trigger 19 while the reversible motor-reducer 13 can be controlled by the arming button 20.

Le fonctionnement de la carabine selon l'invention est comme suit.The operation of the rifle according to the invention is as follows.

L'actionnement du bouton-poussoir 20 réalise l'alimentation en courant dudit moto-réducteur 13 entraînant la roue dentée 12 et, ainsi, l'écrou 11. De ce fait, la tige filetée 10 est déplacée, vers la droite dans le dessin, entraînant l'accro­chage de ladite partie 15 par le crochet 16, en comprimant ainsi le le ressort 8. Le déplacement dudit piston 6 est ar­rêté au moment où le plan incliné de ladite partie 15 se situe juste à côté de la butée 18. L'arrêt du moto-réduc­teur 13 peut, par exemple, être déterminé par un interrup­teur de fin de course, non réprésenté dans les dessins.The actuation of the push button 20 supplies the current to said gear motor 13 driving the toothed wheel 12 and, thus, the nut 11. Therefore, the threaded rod 10 is moved, to the right in the drawing, causing the hooking of said part 15 by the hook 16, thereby compressing the spring 8. The movement of said piston 6 is stopped when the inclined plane of said part 15 is just next to the stop 18. The stopping of the gear motor 13 can, for example, be determined by a limit switch, not shown in the drawings.

Il convient, à ce moment, d'actionner la détente 19 afin de mouvoir ou de faire pivoter la butée 18 entraînant ainsi la­dite partie 15, laquelle libère finalement le piston 6. Ce dernier, sous l'action du ressort 8, est propulsé vers l'avant, comprimant ainsi l'air contenu dans la chambre 4 servant à lancer le projectile placé dans le canon 2.It is advisable, at this moment, to activate the trigger 19 in order to move or to pivot the stop 18 thus causing said part 15, which finally releases the piston 6. The latter, under the action of spring 8, is propelled towards the front, thus compressing the air contained in the chamber 4 used to launch the projectile placed in the barrel 2.

Pendant son mouvement vers l'avant du piston 6, la tige 7 actionne un interrupteur, non représentée dans les dessins, commandant le moto-réducteur 13 en sens inverse afin que le crochet 16 vienne de nouveau engager la partie 15 de la tige 7 en vue d'un armement suivant.During its forward movement of the piston 6, the rod 7 actuates a switch, not shown in the drawings, controlling the gear motor 13 in the opposite direction so that the hook 16 comes again to engage the part 15 of the rod 7 in view of a next armament.

Dans les figures 3 à 6 est représentée une variante de réa­lisation dans laquelle on retrouve les susdits éléments 1 à 8, 10 à 13, la gâchette 18, la détente 19 et le bouton d'armement 20. Dans cette exécution le piston 6 est constitué par une partie 21 prolongée par une partie en forme de tube 22. Cette dernière est pourvue de trois lumières oblongues 23-24-25 servant, respectivement, au guidage du piston 6 dans le corps 26 au moyen d'un guide 27, évitant ainsi au piston 6 de tourner autour de son axe, à l'accrochage avec le pous­soir 28 et à l'accrochage de la gâchette 18.In Figures 3 to 6 is shown an alternative embodiment in which we find the above elements 1 to 8, 10 to 13, the trigger 18, the trigger 19 and the cocking button 20. In this embodiment the piston 6 is constituted by a part 21 extended by a tube-shaped part 22. The latter is provided with three oblong slots 23-24-25 serving, respectively, for guiding the piston 6 in the body 26 by means of a guide 27, thus avoiding the piston 6 to rotate about its axis, the attachment with the pusher 28 and the attachment of the trigger 18.

Le piston 6 est pourvu d'une tige de guidage 29 coulissant dans un tube 30 fixé sur le corps 26.The piston 6 is provided with a guide rod 29 sliding in a tube 30 fixed to the body 26.

Ledit ressort 8 entoure la tige 29 et, respectivement, le tube 30.Said spring 8 surrounds the rod 29 and, respectively, the tube 30.

La gâchette 18 est reliée de façon adéquate à la détente 19. En dessous de la chambre à air comprimé 4 est monté le moto-réducteur 13 dont l'axe de sortie 31 est relié à la tige filetée 10 sur laquelle est monté de façon non rota­tive, l'écrou 11 de translation. Sur ce dernier est monté, pivotable autour d'un axe 32, le poussoir 28 situé entre deux butées, respectivement 33-34, et sollicité par un ressort 35 fixé sur l'écrou lui-même.The trigger 18 is adequately connected to the trigger 19. Below the compressed air chamber 4 is mounted the gear motor 13 whose outlet axis 31 is connected to the threaded rod 10 on which is mounted rotary, the translation nut 11. On the latter is mounted, pivotable about an axis 32, the pusher 28 located between two stops, respectively 33-34, and biased by a spring 35 fixed on the nut itself.

De part et d'autre, l'écrou 11 peut actionner les deux inter­rupteurs de fin de course, respectivement 36-37.On either side, the nut 11 can actuate the two limit switches, respectively 36-37.

Enfin, le poussoir 28 peut enfoncer une tige 38 sollicitée par un ressort 39.Finally, the pusher 28 can push in a rod 38 urged by a spring 39.

Le fonctionement de l'exécution selon les figures 3 à 6 est comme suit.The operation of the execution according to FIGS. 3 to 6 is as follows.

En position non armée, la carabine se trouve dans l'état tel que représenté dans la figure 3. Le piston 6 se trouve dans sa position extrême avant, le ressort 8 est détendu, le poussoir 28 se trouve dans la rainure 24 du tube 22 et est maintenu contre la butée 33 par la tige 38.In the unarmed position, the rifle is in the state as shown in FIG. 3. The piston 6 is in its extreme front position, the spring 8 is relaxed, the pusher 28 is in the groove 24 of the tube 22 and is held against the stop 33 by the rod 38.

L'armement de la carabine commence par l'enfoncement du bou­ton 20, alimentant ainsi le moteur 13 via la batterie intégrée dans la crosse et mettant en rotation la tige filetée 10.The cocking of the rifle begins with the depressing of the button 20, thus supplying the motor 13 via the battery integrated in the stock and rotating the threaded rod 10.

De par cette rotation, l'écrou 11 se déplace vers l'arrière, libérant ainsi l'interruptuer 36. La tige 38 continue de maintenir le poussoir 28 en position verticale aussi long­temps que le couple exercé par le ressort 39 sur la tige 38 est supérieur au couple exercé par le ressort de rappel 35 sur le poussoir 28.Due to this rotation, the nut 11 moves backwards, thereby releasing the switch 36. The rod 38 continues to maintain the pusher 28 in the vertical position as long as the torque exerted by the spring 39 on the rod 38 is greater than the torque exerted by the return spring 35 on the pusher 28.

A un moment donné, le poussoir 28 vient en contact avec le piston 6, plus spécialement avec le tube 22 de ce piston 6, annulant ainsi l'utilité de la tige 38. De cette manière, l'écrou 11, par l'intermédiaire du poussoir 28, entraîne le piston 6 vers l'arrière en comprimant à la fois le ressort d'armement 8.At a given moment, the pusher 28 comes into contact with the piston 6, more particularly with the tube 22 of this piston 6, thus canceling out the usefulness of the rod 38. In this way, the nut 11, via of the pusher 28, drives the piston 6 towards the rear while compressing both the arming spring 8.

Au moment où l'écrou 11 arrive dans sa position extrême ar­rière, le piston 6, par l'intermédiaire de l'ouverture 25, s'enclenche sur la gâchette 18, le ressort 8 étant comprimé à son maximum.When the nut 11 arrives in its rear extreme position, the piston 6, via the opening 25, engages on the trigger 18, the spring 8 being compressed to its maximum.

L'enfoncement de l'interrupteur 37 provoque la rotation inverse du moteur 13 et, par conséquent, la course retour de l'écrou 11. Le piston 6 reste bloqué contre la gâchette 18 tant que la détente 19 n'est pas actionnée.The depressing of the switch 37 causes the reverse rotation of the motor 13 and, consequently, the return stroke of the nut 11. The piston 6 remains blocked against the trigger 18 as long as the trigger 19 is not actuated.

Pendant la course retour, l'interrupteur 37 est relâché. Son action d'inversion du sens de la rotation du moteur 13 a été mémorisée.During the return stroke, the switch 37 is released. Its action of reversing the direction of rotation of the motor 13 has been memorized.

Pendant sont trajet vers l'avant, le poussoir 28 s'incline sous la traction du ressort de rappel 35 contre la butée 34, permettant ainsi le retour du piston 6 lors d'un tir éven­tuel. A ce moment, il existe deux possibilités. La détente 19 est ou non actionnée durant la phase de retour de l'écrou 11.During their forward path, the pusher 28 tilts under the traction of the return spring 35 against the stop 34, thus allowing the return of the piston 6 during a possible firing. At this time, there are two possibilities. The trigger 19 is or is not actuated during the return phase of the nut 11.

Si la détente 19 n'est pas actionnée durant la phase re­tour de l'écrou 11, le poussoir 28 reste toujours incliné jusqu'au moment où il entre en contact avec la tige 38 qui le redresse. L'écrou 11 actionne finalement l'interrupteur 36, terminant ainsi la course retour. En actionnant la détente 19, la gâchette 18 s'abaisse et le piston 6 est propulsé vers l'avant sous l'action du ressort 8. L'air est comprimé bruta­lement et le coup part si la carabine est chargée et non "cassée". Sinon on a un tir à blanc.If the trigger 19 is not actuated during the return phase of the nut 11, the pusher 28 always remains inclined until it comes into contact with the rod 38 which straightens it. The nut 11 finally actuates the switch 36, thus ending the return stroke. By actuating the trigger 19, the trigger 18 is lowered and the piston 6 is propelled forward under the action of the spring 8. The air is suddenly compressed and the shot goes away if the rifle is loaded and not "broken" . Otherwise we have a blank shot.

Si, au contraire, la détente 19 est actionnée durant la phase de retour de l'écrou 11, la gâchette 18 se baisse et libère le piston 6 pendant que le poussoir 28 poursuit sa course retour en position inclinée. Le piston est propul­sé vers l'avant sous l'action du ressort 8 et le coup part tandis que l'écrou 11 continue son mouvement.If, on the contrary, the trigger 19 is actuated during the return phase of the nut 11, the trigger 18 is lowered and releases the piston 6 while the pusher 28 continues its return stroke in the inclined position. The piston is propelled forward under the action of the spring 8 and the blow starts while the nut 11 continues its movement.

Le poussoir 28 entre en contact avec le levier 38 qui tend à le redresser, ce qui n'est pas possible étant donné qu'il vient lutter contre la paroi externe du piston 6-22 ne pré­sentant pas de lumière ou rainure à cet endroit. Le redres­sement du poussoir 28 s'effectue lorsqu'il rencontre la lu­mière 24.The pusher 28 comes into contact with the lever 38 which tends to straighten it, which is not possible since it comes to fight against the external wall of the piston 6-22 having no light or groove at this location. The push-button 28 is straightened when it meets the light 24.

L'actionnement de l'interrupteur 36 par l'écrou 11 fait que la course retour est arrêtée.The actuation of the switch 36 by the nut 11 causes the return stroke to be stopped.
