Definitions

  • the subject of the present invention is a device for recovering cartridge cases for a long gun, such as an automatic or semi-automatic assault rifle, having a charging handle and a case ejection window. cartridges fired.
  • This device is of the type comprising a support provided with means for its temporary fixing to the weapon, a container connected to the support and having an inlet opening intended to be presented opposite the window for ejecting cases to collect them. ci, and means for allowing the recovery of the cases collected in the container.
  • the support is screwed onto the carcass of the weapon and the container is removable and adaptable to the support by an elastic bolt locking system which can be engaged in a keeper of the support.
  • a part of the wall of the container situated on the side of the ejection window rises towards and under the latter and rests on the carcass, while the locking by bolt and strike is located at the upper part of the container, and this done that the container is held against the ejection window by simple gravity.
  • the cases collected are recovered by detaching the container from its support, by manual pressure on the elastic bolt.
  • the support has the form of an open bottom case, having a lateral opening situated opposite the ejection window. of the weapon, and the container consists of a removable mesh bag which is fixed by a clipping system around the periphery of the open bottom of the support.
  • the support is removably fixed to the weapon by a system of angle iron and elastic gripping collar coming to be caught respectively on the top and the periphery of the carcass of the weapon.
  • the cases collected are also recovered by detaching the container from its support.
  • the object of the invention is to avoid the aforementioned drawbacks by making it possible to simplify and make easier the handling of the case container as well as the controls and handling of the weapon which is equipped with it.
  • the device for recovering cartridge cases according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises a connecting hinge between the support and the container giving the latter a possibility of rotation going from a low position, in which its inlet opening is folded down in front of the case ejection window, in a high position in which the collected cases fall by gravity to allow their recovery, and means for immobilizing the container in order to be able to maintain it temporarily. rement in at least one of its possible positions by a retaining force capable of being overcome by manual rotation of the container.
  • the device for a weapon on which the case ejection window and the loading handle are covered by the container in the low service position, it is advantageous to produce the device according to an embodiment in which the means of 'immobilization of the container are provided to be able to temporarily hold it in its high and low positions.
  • the high position is determined not only for the purpose of releasing the cases collected but also to completely disengage the charging handle.
  • Temporary immobilization in the low position of the container also makes it possible to avoid any loss of cases during the normal movements of the weapon in all firing positions.
  • This embodiment is also suitable for weapons on which the push button or the magazine locking lever or the "safety - blow by blow - burst" selector, or even the breech retainer, is covered by the container, for the same reasons of ease of access.
  • the device comprises means for immobilizing the container provided for keeping it in an intermediate position located between its high position and its low position, and the container comprises a wall for retaining the cases collected intended to prevent them from falling into this intermediate position.
  • the intermediate position of the container is here chosen so as to completely free access to the load handle. This means that the charging handle can be manipulated to reload the weapon while firing without dropping the already collected cases.
  • the device In its first embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 3, the device is shown associated with an assault rifle 1, drawn in thin phantom, having a charging handle 2 and an ejection window 3 of the holsters of cartridges drawn located on the same side of the carcass of the weapon and close to each other.
  • This device comprises a support 4 and a container 6 connected by a hinge 5 for permanent connection, as well as means for temporarily immobilizing the container with respect to the support constituted here by a latching member 12 centered on the axis of the hinge 5 and secured to the container 6, and by a retaining pawl 11 pressed by means of a spring leaf 10 against the latching member 12, the spring leaf 10 being fixed to the support 4.
  • the support 4 is a part having an angle part 8 intended to be fixed by elastic gripping of the curved ends of its two wings on natural grips of the carcass of the weapon formed here by uneven walls 14 and 15.
  • the support 4 comprises two parallel brackets 9 at the end of which the axis of the hinge 5 is articulated, forming two bearings of the latter. Between these two brackets and on the angle iron 8 is fixed the leaf spring 10 carrying the retaining pawl 12.
  • the container 6 is a quadrangular box including the load handle 2 and having an inlet opening 7 intended to be in front of the window 3 for ejecting the cases.
  • the front wall 16 of the container 6 substantially forms a dihedral whose inclined upper part is articulated at its end to the hinge 5, between the two brackets 9 of the support 6.
  • the rear wall 13 of the container 6 intended to adjoin the carcass of the weapon 1 on the side of the ejection window 3 of the cases goes up to the bottom of the latter and has an internal return 17 in the form of a trihedral projection whose function is explained below.
  • the container 6 comprises, integral with its front wall 16, the latching member 12 already mentioned and which has, as clearly visible in Figures 2 and 3, three latching grooves 18, 19 and 20 distributed over its periphery and intended to allow the immobilization of the container 6 in three different positions, by engagement of the pawl 11.
  • the retaining force of this immobilization system is provided to be able to be overcome by manual rotation of the container 6, and also so as not to trigger, once the container is loaded with holsters, during normal handling of the weapon, in all shooting positions.
  • the engagement of the pawl 11 in the first groove 18 of the latching member 12 ensures the immobilization of the container 6 in its low position, as shown in FIG. 2, by which it is applied against the carcass of the weapon and by which the cases ejected through the ejection window 3 pass the opening 7 and fall to be collected in the container.
  • the container 6 In a normal firing situation, the container 6 is left in this low position until filling, its capacity being advantageously provided for example to ensure the storage of a number of cases corresponding to at least the quantity of cartridges of a magazine. high capacity.
  • the charging handle 2 can therefore be used for manual reloading of the weapon and the cases already collected are retained in the container 6 by the obstacle constituted by the trihedral interior return 17 of the interior wall 13.
  • the trihedral projection 17 of the wall 13 of the container no longer constitutes a retainer, due to its change of orientation, and releases the cases 21 which fall by gravity to be recovered.
  • the immobilization of the container in the high position also allows easy control of the cartridge chamber of the weapon, as well as all the manipulations required for example by a clutch, without constituting discomfort for the shooter.
  • the shooter can raise and immobilize the latter in its intermediate position and actuate these organs of one hand without dropping the cases already collected.
  • the recovery device is adapted to an assault rifle having a charging handle 2 and a window 3 for ejecting cartridge cases spaced apart from one another. another, the charging handle 2 being here on the top of the weapon while the ejection window 3 is on the side thereof.
  • This device also consists here of a container 60 and a support 40 joined by a hinge 50.
  • the container 60 and the support 40 are here spaced in the longitudinal direction of the weapon.
  • the support 40 shown in dashed lines, consists of an elastic gripping collar taken around a part of the carcass of the weapon surrounding the barrel, in front of the space occupied by the ejection window 3 and of the load handle 2, and it carries in overhang, in the manner of a bayonet, the axis of the hinge 50, between these two elements.
  • the container 60 is here deprived of an inner wall and carries by its side walls against the carcass of the weapon, in the lower position shown, its inlet opening 70 being extended over its entire surface on the side of the weapon.
  • the container 60 is here immobilized in its low position by a magnet 110 fixed to its wall opposite a metal element of the carcass of the weapon which can of course be simply formed by it.
  • the hinge 50 is thus disposed between the ejection window 3 and the load handle 2 and the container does not interfere with the handling thereof.
  • the recovery of the cases collected is done by a single gesture of the hand to tilt the container 60 in the high position, which can be left free and undefined when the tilting of the container has no other purpose than that of dropping the cases.
  • a simple solution suitable for this second embodiment consists in providing the hinge 50 d 'A sufficient stiffness to be able to maintain the latter, empty, in a raised position chosen to allow this control and these manipulations.
  • the retaining force of the magnet 110 is also provided here to be overcome by manual rotation of the container 60 and to be able not to be triggered, once loaded with cases, by normal handling of the weapon in a shooting situation. .
  • the structures of the two embodiments are not limiting and variants may be made, in particular in the type of hinge between the support and the container and in the means of temporary immobilization of the latter relative to the support, as well as in the means for fixing the support to the carcass of the weapon.
  • the dimensions, and in particular the length of the container can vary depending on whether or not the load handle is attached to the breech of the weapon.
  • the shape of the container can be adapted to the surrounding configuration of the weapon, in particular for weapons fitted with multiple magazines attached to each other, in which case the container may be provided with appropriate notches.
  • the immobilization of the latter in the high position can be deleted.
  • the two low and intermediate positions can be ensured by a magnet system, between the container and the carcass of the weapon for the low position, like the magnet 110 of the second embodiment, and between the container and the support for the intermediate position.
  • the attachment systems of the supports 6 and 60 are particularly suitable to existing weapons, because they do not involve modifications of these.
  • this part of the hinge connected to the weapon fixed to the latter either permanently or by screwing, this part of the hinge constituting the support according to the invention in its most reduced form.
  • This part of the hinge can also, in this same spirit, be an integral part of the weapon. A significant saving can thus be obtained on the cost of the recovery device.
  • Another advantage of this last design adapted to new weapons lies in the fact that, by the necessarily reduced size of the part of the hinge forming the support of the container, it is easier to provide an installation which does not interfere with possible fixing. of a rifle scope.
