Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for recovering cartridge cases for a long gun, such as an automatic or semi-automatic assault rifle, the carcass of which has a magazine engagement receptacle of removable cartridges and a window for ejecting the cartridges from the drawn cartridges.
  • This device is of the type comprising a container having an inlet opening intended to appear in front of the window for ejecting holsters to collect them and means for its temporary fixing to an element of the weapon.
  • the container is temporarily fixed to a support screwed onto the carcass of the weapon by an elastic bolt locking system which can be engaged in a keeper integral with this support.
  • the holding of the container against the ejection window is ensured by simple gravity, the locking by strike and bolt being located at its upper part.
  • the container is constituted by a sort of removable lattice bag which is fixed by a clipping system on the periphery of the open bottom of a support in the form of a box having an opening situated in front of the weapon ejection window.
  • the support is also detachably attached to the weapon, by a system of angle iron and gripping collar coming to be taken respectively on the top and the circumference of the carcass of the weapon.
  • the additional cartridge magazine thus located constitutes a protuberance on the side of the weapon at a place occupied by the container for the devices for recovering the aforementioned known cartridge case.
  • this protuberance is not permanent, owing to the fact that the additional magazine which constitutes it must be, after exhaustion of the cartridges of the magazine engaged in the carcass of the weapon, put in the place of the latter or, vice versa when the additional store was first engaged.
  • the holster recovery device must still be able to be used with the only cartridge magazine engaged in the carcass of the weapon, for example during firing exercises.
  • the device for recovering cartridge cases must therefore be able to perform its function at the same time in the two aforementioned spatial conformations.
  • the invention aims to solve this problem.
  • the case recovery device of cartridges according to the invention is characterized in that the container comprises a lower part provided with fixing means provided to ensure its temporary fixing to a cartridge magazine for the weapon, and an upper part provided with a retractable telescopic lateral extension having at its free end the inlet opening of the cartridge cases, this extension being of a length at least equal to the width of a cartridge magazine.
  • the container attached to a cartridge magazine becomes dependent on the positioning of the latter relative to the carcass of the weapon, and the extension of its upper part can be taken out or taken in according to this positioning in order to be able to keep its entrance opening in front of and close to the case ejection window.
  • the device thus designed can therefore ensure its function as well with a weapon equipped with magazines of conventional cartridges as with a weapon equipped with magazines of multiple cartridges, which answers well the aim of the invention.
  • the fixing means provided for temporarily fixing the lower part of the container to a cartridge store can be of different kinds, such as for example magnetic means associated with means for the relative positioning of these two elements, or even elastic gripping arms forming clips intended to grip the two sides, front and rear, of the cartridge magazine.
  • These temporary fixing means can also be advantageously constituted by the same ones which are intended to couple the magazines of the system of magazines of multiple cartridges used.
  • the means for fixing the container to a magazine of this kind are constituted by one of these two types of male or female coupling means fixed and / or integrated into its side located opposite the weapon.
  • this case recovery device in which the telescopic extension of the upper part of the container is provided retractable therein allows, also making this upper part retractable in the lower part of the container, solve the problem of the size of this device during its transport in the state not associated with the weapon, for example in the same box as those used for the transport of magazines of multiple cartridges.
  • Figure 1 is an overview showing this object in the extended configuration of its elements.
  • Figure 2 is a partial view of a weapon equipped with magazines of multiple cartridges to which this object relates.
  • Figures 3 and 4 are two front views in partial section, along the cutting axis I-I of Figure 1, of the object of the invention shown respectively in two different configurations of use.
  • Figure 5 is an overview of the object of the invention in configuration of minimum size.
  • the device for recovering cartridge cases shown in FIGS. 1, 3, 4, and 5 is composed of a lower part 1 provided with fixing means 3 and 4 designed to ensure its temporary fixing to a cartridge store such as one of the stores 7 shown in FIG. 2, and of an upper part 2 provided with a retractable telescopic lateral extension 5 having at its free end an inlet opening 6 of the cartridge cases intended to appear opposite and close to the window d ejection 8 of the weapon, also shown in FIG. 2.
  • the two upper 2 and lower 1 parts are telescopic, the upper part 2 being retractable in the lower part 1 after retraction of its lateral extension 5, to result in the configuration of minimum bulk shown in FIG. 5.
  • the lower part of the container has a bottom which is closed here by a zipper 9 intended to allow the recovery of the cases collected in an easy manner without having to necessarily detach it from the cartridge store to which it is fixed, and its side located opposite the weapon has the attachment means 3 and 4 already mentioned.
  • These fixing means 3 and 4 are here constituted by the same female members as those of the male and female coupling means of the magazine of multiple cartridges 7 of the weapon shown in FIG. 2.
  • These female members 3 and 4 two in number spaced in height on the side of the lower part 1 of the container, are buttonholes with lateral slots intended for the engagement of the two corresponding male members of a cartridge magazine 7 which are constituted by tenons with heads 30.
  • the upper buttonhole 3 has its oriented side slit upwards, however, that the slot in the lower buttonhole 4 is oriented substantially along a tangent to a fictitious arc C having as its center that of the upper buttonhole 3.
  • This is to respond to the coupling mode of this type of cartridge magazine multiple which proceeds first of all by downward engagement of the upper tenon 30 in the upper buttonhole 3 and then by pivoting along the above-mentioned arc of circle C to engage the second tenon 30 in the lower buttonhole 4.
  • a hard point 10 is provided at the end of travel of this last engagement between the buttonhole 4 and the tenon 30 to constitute a holding brake in the coupling position, this hard point being absorbed by the own elasticity of the construction material used.
  • the upper part 2 of the container has an inlet opening 6 which corresponds to that of its extension 5, and a limit switch locking system, in the extended position shown in FIG. 1 and in the retracted position shown in FIG. 5, which comprises two cylindrical fingers 11 engaged in two rectilinear slides 12 of two opposite walls of the lower part 1, a single finger 11 and a single slide 12 being visible in these Figures 1 and 5; a hard point 13 constituted by a narrowing of the slide is provided at the end of extension stroke and at the end of retraction stroke, the passage of each of these two hard points by the finger 11 being absorbed by the elasticity of the material construction worker, here too.
  • a similar end-of-travel blocking system is provided for the extension 5 of the upper part 2, by means of a cylindrical finger 14 engaged in a slide 15 of the upper wall of this upper part 2 which also has two points. hard 16.
  • two notches 18 and 19 are provided intended to allow the passage of the load handle 20 of the weapon shown, this handle being arranged on the side of this weapon.
  • the notch 18 in the upper walls of these two elements is provided to allow, when the device is mounted on the weapon, the extension in height of the upper part 2, after coupling of the lower part 1 with a cartridge magazine 7, when the weapon comprises only one of these magazines, engaged in the receptacle 21 of its carcass, as in the configuration shown in FIG. 4.
  • the notch 19 in the side walls of these two elements is provided to allow the free movement of the charge handle along its stroke, during firing, this handle 20 being integral with the movable breech of the weapon shown, and this both in the retracted position and at the outlet of the extension 5, that is to say in the two configurations of use shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.
  • notches 18 and 19 will be suitable for any other type of weapon, or else removed for a weapon having its carrying handle on it instead of having it sideways.
  • a grab bar 22 is associated with the upper wall of the upper part 2 to facilitate its extraction from inside the lower part 1, extraction which requires the passage of the hard points 13 of the slides 12, the finger 14 can be used for a similar purpose for the extraction of the extension 5 from inside this upper part 2.
  • a bar similar to 22 is associated with the pull tab 9 for the same purpose.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 the carcass 23 of the weapon has been voluntarily shown diagrammatically to show only the window 8 for ejecting the cartridge cases, the charging handle 20 and the receptacle 21 intended for engaging the magazines of cartridges 7, the only objects useful for understanding the invention.
  • the device is shown coupled to three cartridge magazines 7, which seems to be a reasonable maximum taking into account the handicaps which can result from an increase in the weight of the assembly, especially with heavy equipment and magazines. high capacity cartridges.
  • the extension 5 of the upper part 2 of the container is removed to make up for the additional thickness of a cartridge magazine 7 which separates it from the carcass of the weapon. This shows that the length of this extension must be at least equal to this thickness, including the male coupling members 30 and female 3 and 4.
  • the third magazine After exhaustion of this store coupled to the container, the third magazine is placed in the receptacle 21, the first two empty magazines are uncoupled and the container is replaced by coupling of this third magazine, according to the configuration shown in FIG. 4.
  • FIG. 5 clearly shows, by comparison with FIG. 1, the reduction in the size of the device obtained by the design of the container in two telescopic parts 1 and 2.
  • This reduction in size finds its advantage in the transport of the device which can thus be stored in the same box as those used for the transport of stores of multiple cartridges 7.
  • the two parts 1 and 2 of the container can be fixed or constitute only one body, the differentiation only relating to their different functions. .
  • the coupling means 3, 4 and 30 shown as an example are not limiting and any other system may be applied without departing from the scope of the invention.
  • a design of this kind can for example be constituted by elastic gripping arms, associated with the lower part of the container and forming clips intended to grip the two sides, front and rear, of a cartridge magazine, the latter being able to just as well being a traditional store not equipped with coupling means.
