Definitions

  • the invention is directed to a rifle containing a firing pin with a striker and tension spring, a trigger system with a trigger and a release lever.
  • the firing pin is usually blocked with a pin or a wedge.
  • Locking or unlocking is usually associated with a click sound.
  • Another type of backup i.e. the impossibility of triggering a shot is done by relaxing the spring accelerating the firing pin. With this type of securing, the spring counter bearing of the tension spring is moved. To do this, a lever in the firing pin area must be operated.
  • the object of the invention is to develop a relaxation system on a rifle that can be operated without cumbersome hand movements.
  • a rifle which is characterized by a cage movable in the direction of travel, a catch lever rotatably attached to the cage engages the striker such that the firing pin can also be moved against the tension spring with the cage, this catch lever only in the cocked position Condition by operating the trigger lever releases the striker and the lever moving the cage can be operated from the piston neck.
  • the safety slide can be attached to relax the firing pin spring where it is most convenient for the shooter to reach. Relaxing or re-tensioning becomes a "natural" process that takes place almost automatically. No arm movement is required, just a finger movement. The position of the hand on the rifle practically does not change. It is also advantageous that there is no more clicking noise when the rifle is cocked. It is also particularly favorable that this construction of the relaxation system can be combined in a simple manner with a few further simple features, which are described below, which further increase the reliability and safety of the weapon.
  • the safety slide can be on the side (right or left, depending on the shooter's request), close to the trigger on the piston. It can also be attached to the top of the piston skirt. A small hand movement may be necessary to move the lever, but since there is a lot of space around the lever, this movement needs hardly any special attention; it runs almost automatically.
  • the lock tension can also be designed so that the cage is always in a relaxed state due to a spring and the lock is only tensioned by the shooter through a safety bracket to be used on the stock when shooting when he already has the rifle in his hand and the finger is on the trigger.
  • the movement of the finger on the trigger is not hindered, although this type of shooting requires some getting used to.
  • such a rifle is automatically released as soon as the hand is removed from the trigger.
  • the relaxation device according to the invention can be combined in a particularly simple manner with further safety devices.
  • the trigger is fixed to the rifle or to a base box.
  • the rest of the trigger system with the exception of the trigger, is attached to a movable cage.
  • the power transmission is designed so that it is only possible in the tensioned state. When the cage is pushed into the release position, the line of action from the trigger to the catch under the firing pin is interrupted and a shot can never be fired.
  • a further safety device can also be attached to the lock in connection with the release system by catching at least one lever of the release system by moving the cage on the base box. Again, this means that in the relaxed position, firing a shot would be impossible simply because movement of the trigger system is blocked.
  • a further, particularly preferred embodiment of the relaxation system consists in forming the tensioned position as an unstable balance.
  • Two rotatable legs that are connected to one another and are under a compressive force form an “extended length”. When kinking, the two pivot points approach and this movement is used here to relax the striking piece.
  • the transition from the extended length occurs automatically when the rifle hits the ground with the stock first. Due to the braking in the event of an impact, forces act on the trigger and the tensioning system. In this case, the clamping system must be quick Relax more than trigger the trigger, which is achieved by the greater inertia of the clamping system.
  • shocks can also occur from the top of the rifle (for example when climbing a high stand with a rifle slung over a shoulder if it hits branches).
  • an impact on the tensioning system causes a torque, by means of which the stretched length is also canceled and the cage is displaced to such an extent that the firing pin spring relaxes and firing is impossible.
  • the leg length of the steering lever gives the reduction.
  • a leg length ratio in the range of 1: 3 is particularly preferred, that is to say a span of the order of 15 mm.
  • a right-angled arrangement of the legs on the steering lever ensures that the clamping torque increases during the rotary movement. This is desirable because the spring tension increases approximately in the same way and the tensioning is therefore very even for the shooter over the tensioning path.
  • the shooter Due to the favorable attachment of the safety slide in the area of the piston, the shooter has a "natural” relaxation or tensioning movement; the tensioned state can always be reached in time; on the other hand, however, he will relax the rifle practically “automatically” when he puts the rifle away, because the locking lever can be moved without effort.
  • the multiple security possible with the system requires little additional effort.
  • the firing pin 1 strikes the primer of the cartridge 2 when the striker 4 tensioned by the spring 3 can overcome the detent 5.
  • the blocking and locking effect of the catch 5 is released when the trigger lever 6, which is rotatable about the axis 7, is inclined so far that the shoulder 8 is no longer under the edge 9 on the catch lever 10.
  • the catch 5 is formed by the movable end of the catch lever 10, which is rotatable about the axis 11.
  • the trigger system is attached to the cage 13 movable in the running direction.
  • the trigger movement is transmitted from the trigger lever 12 to the trigger lever 6 via a bolt 14 on the trigger lug lever 6.
  • a torque is transmitted to the trigger lug lever 6.
  • the shoulder 8 slides out from under the edge 9 of the catch lever 10.
  • the spring 15 is not so strong that it could oppose the depression of the catch 5 by the tensioned striker 4, and the firing pin 1 strikes the primer of the cartridge 2.
  • the trigger travel is adjustable by means of the adjusting screw 16.
  • the cage 13 is movable within the base box 17 in the running direction.
  • the cage 13 is guided through elongated holes 18, 19 on the base box 17.
  • a relaxation or tensioning system is available with which the cage 13 can be moved in the running direction.
  • it consists of a support lever 20, a steering lever 21 and a connecting piece 22 to the safety slide 23.
  • the support lever 20 is rotatably attached to the base box 17 at 24 and connected to the short leg 26 of the steering lever 21 at 25.
  • the long leg 27 of the steering lever 21 is rotatably connected to the connecting piece 22.
  • the steering lever 21 is attached to the cage 13. In this case, the axis 7, about which the trigger lug lever 6 also rotates, is used for this purpose.
  • Characteristic of this rifle is the "extended length", an unstable equilibrium state of the support lever 20 with the short leg 26 of the steering lever 21 in the cocked state (FIGS. 1, 2). To one side, the lever movement is limited by the stop screw 28. The transition to the relaxed state (FIGS. 3, 4) takes place automatically as soon as the stretched length is broken due to the tension spring 3. How far the support lever 20 and the steering lever 21 can bend is determined by the size of the elongated hole 19.
  • the elongated holes have a size of 5 mm in this example; they are of course matched to the tension spring 3 on the firing pin 1.
  • the pivot points and the position of the axes can be seen even better in the plan view in FIG.
  • the axles 7, 11 fastened to the cage 13 are so long that they can take over the axial guidance of the cage 13 if they are inserted in elongated holes 18, 19 on the base box 17.
  • Figures 3 and 4 show the lock corresponding to Figures 1 and 2 in a relaxed state.
  • the spring 3 is relaxed by a corresponding displacement of the spring counter bearing 29.
  • the striker 4 is caught by the catch 5. It is impossible in this position that the firing pin 1 can touch the primer of the cartridge 2.
  • clamping or releasing system is particularly suitable for bolt action rifles.
  • FIG. 5 in contrast to FIGS. 1 and 3, the tensioning or relaxation system is also omitted, so that the interaction of trigger lug lever 6 with catch lever 10 and trigger lever 12 can be seen even better.
  • the axis 31 of the trigger lever 12 is attached to the base box 17.
  • a further security element can thereby be implemented without additional effort, because in the relaxed position the bolt 14 is caught in the slot 33.
  • a release of the firing pin 1 is in no way possible.
  • the formation of the side wall of the base box 17 can be seen even better from FIG. 6.
  • the opening 32 must allow movement of the pin 14 upwards to trigger; if the pin is caught in the elongated hole area 33, such a movement is not possible.
  • the shape of the steering lever 21 is preferably asymmetrical and rectangular.
  • the length of the legs 26, 27 gives the under or translation; a ratio of 1: 3 is particularly preferred.
  • the slide 23 With a span of 5 mm, for example, the slide 23 must be moved by 15 mm. In this case, the elongated holes 18, 19, 33 must also allow a play of 5 mm (with a pin diameter of 5 mm).
  • the unequal lever length on the steering lever 21 also means a mass asymmetry, which acts towards the "safe" side. Due to the relatively large masses of the decocking system compared to the trigger, the lock is released faster than a movement of the trigger system. Since it is no longer possible to trigger from a certain degree of relaxation, unintentional firing, particularly in the case of accidents, is not possible. If this weapon is struck from above against the clamping system, which can be the case when climbing a ladder, for example, the two levers move from the extended position to the bent position and the lock is released. If the weapon falls on the ground with the stock, it will relax immediately.
  • the safety slide can be attached to the piston neck in any position desired by the shooter. With an optimal position on the rifle butt, it can be operated almost unconsciously.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 Another variant of the tensioning system is shown in FIGS. 7 and 8.
  • the rifle is cocked in FIG. 7 in that an operating bracket 37 is pressed against the piston neck 30.
  • the steering lever angled in FIGS. 1 to 4 is essentially straight here. It is fastened in the same way as there to the axis 7, about which the trigger lever 6 can be rotated, and is therefore also movable in the direction of the elongated hole 19.
