Description

La présente invention concerne un système de port pour arme portative, du type comprenant un support, un dispositif de verrouillage pour bloquer l'arme sur le support et au moins une sangle de brèlage.The present invention relates to a carrying system for a portable weapon, of the type comprising a support, a locking device for locking the weapon on the support and at least one lashing strap.

Les systèmes de port les plus simples pour une arme portative sont constitués par une bretelle accrochée de façon permanente à l'arme. De tels systèmes ont notamment pour inconvénients :

  • de ne pas empêcher les battements de l'arme contre le corps du tireur,
  • de limiter la position de support de l'arme sur l'épaule ou autour du cou du tireur, et
  • de limiter les mouvements de pointage de l'arme lorsque le tireur veut procéder à un tir rapide.
The simplest carrying systems for a portable weapon consist of a strap permanently attached to the weapon. The disadvantages of such systems are:
  • not to prevent the beating of the weapon against the body of the shooter,
  • limit the support position of the weapon on the shoulder or around the shooter's neck, and
  • to limit the pointing movements of the weapon when the shooter wants to make a quick shot.

D'autres systèmes prévoient toujours l'utilisation d'une bretelle, mais celle-ci est accrochée sur l'arme en deux points distincts par exemple. Avec ces systèmes, le tireur doit effectuer une manipulation à deux mains pour utiliser son arme, une main pour tenir la bretelle et l'autre main pour pouvoir dégrafer l'arme. Si le dégrafage de l'arme reste cependant une opération simple et rapide, les risques de dégrafage intempestifs ou inopinés sont augmentés. En outre, ces systèmes n'empêchent pas les battements de l'arme contre le corps du tireur.Other systems still provide for the use of a strap, but it is hung on the weapon at two separate points for example. With these systems, the shooter must carry out a two-handed operation to use his weapon, one hand to hold the strap and the other hand to be able to loosen the weapon. If the stapling of the weapon remains however a simple and fast operation, the risks of untimely or unexpected stapling are increased. In addition, these systems do not prevent the beating of the weapon against the body of the shooter.

Selon encore d'autres systèmes, il est prévu un support tel qu'une poche englobant le canon, une partie de la glissière et du pontet de l'arme, et un rabat agrafable sur la poche qui assure la tenue et la protection de l'arme. Dans ces systèmes, la prise en main de l'arme s'effectue un trois temps : dégrafage du rabat, extraction de l'arme de la poche et pointage de l'arme suivant une direction. Cette prise en main est plus ou moins délicate et rapide suivant le système d'attache utilisé pour fixer le rabat sur la poche.According to still other systems, a support is provided such as a pocket including the barrel, part of the slide and the trigger guard of the weapon, and a flap which can be hooked on the pocket which ensures the holding and the protection of the 'armed. In these systems, the grip of the weapon takes place in three stages: unhooking the flap, extracting the weapon from the pocket and pointing the weapon in one direction. This grip is more or less delicate and quick depending on the fastening system used to fix the flap on the pocket.

Enfin, selon encore d'autres systèmes, il est prévu une pince-ressort qui vient se refermer sur la glissière de l'arme. Ces systèmes ne demandent qu'un seul mouvement peu différent de celui du pointage de l'arme, mais ils nécessitent un effort supplémentaire pour dégager l'arme de la pince-ressort. Le mouvement lié à cet effort est d'autant plus délicat qu'il doit s'effectuer avec un doigt sur le pontet ou sur la queue de détente de l'arme. En outre, cet effort empêche de contrôler le début du mouvement de pointage de l'arme.Finally, according to still other systems, a spring clip is provided which closes on the slide of the weapon. These systems require only a single movement that is little different from that of aiming the weapon, but they require an additional effort to disengage the weapon from the spring clip. The movement linked to this effort is all the more delicate since it must be carried out with a finger on the trigger guard or on the trigger tail of the weapon. In addition, this effort prevents control of the start of the pointing movement of the weapon.

Le but de l'invention est de pallier les inconvénients des systèmes antérieurs précédemment évoqués, tout en procurant d'autres avantages.The object of the invention is to overcome the drawbacks of the previous systems mentioned above, while providing other advantages.

A cet effet, l'invention propose un système de port pour arme portative, du type précité et caractérisé en ce que le support est constitué par une plaque rigide, et en ce que le dispositif de verrouillage est supporté par ladite plaque et comprend un doigt mobile à commande manuelle pouvant prendre deux positions et un organe élastique de rappel dudit doigt dans l'une desdites positions ou position de blocage où il vient se loger dans une rainure de l'arme pour bloquer celle-ci contre ladite plaque.To this end, the invention provides a carrying system for a portable weapon, of the aforementioned type and characterized in that the support is constituted by a rigid plate, and in that the locking device is supported by said plate and comprises a finger. mobile with manual control which can take two positions and an elastic member for returning said finger to one of said positions or blocking position where it is housed in a groove of the weapon to block it against said plate.

Selon un exemple de réalisation, le doigt de verrouillage est du type pivotant, et l'organe de rappel élastique de ce doigt dans sa position de verrouillage est constitué par une lame-ressort.According to an exemplary embodiment, the locking finger is of the pivoting type, and the elastic return member of this finger in its locking position is constituted by a leaf spring.

D'une manière générale, la position de la rainure dans laquelle est destiné à venir se loger le doigt du dispositif de verrouillage, peut varier d'une arme à l'autre.In general, the position of the groove in which the finger of the locking device is intended to be housed can vary from one weapon to another.

Dans le cas d'un pistolet mitrailleur comprenant deux poignées avant et arrière associées respectivement à deux pontets avant et arrière, la rainure peut être avantageusement située au niveau du pontet arrière de l'arme, le dispositif de verrouillage étant monté sur la plaque support de manière à venir se positionner entre le pontet arrière et la poignée avant de l'arme.In the case of a submachinegun comprising two front and rear handles associated respectively with two front and rear saddles, the groove may advantageously be located at the rear saddle of the weapon, the locking device being mounted on the support plate so as to be positioned between the rear trigger guard and the front handle of the weapon.

La prise en main de l'arme se fait alors en attrapant celle-ci par la poignée avant au moyen d'une main, le pouce de cette main venant tout naturellement au contact du doigt de verrouillage pour le faire pivoter et le dégager de la rainure du pontet arrière. L'arme est dégagée suivant une direction perpendiculaire à la plaque support et le pointage de l'arme se fait en continuant le mouvement amorcé pour dégager l'arme.The grip of the weapon is then done by catching it by the front handle by means of one hand, the thumb of this hand coming quite naturally in contact with the locking finger to rotate it and release it from the groove of the rear trigger guard. The weapon is released in a direction perpendicular to the support plate and the pointing of the weapon is done while continuing the movement started to release the weapon.

Dans le cas d'une arme telle qu'un pistolet automatique, la rainure dans laquelle vient s'engager le doigt de verrouillage peut être avantageusement prévue à l'arrière de la poignée, le dispositif de verrouillage étant monté sur la plaque support de manière à venir se positionner en arrière de la poignée.In the case of a weapon such as an automatic pistol, the groove in which the locking finger engages can be advantageously provided at the rear of the handle, the locking device being mounted on the support plate so to be positioned behind the handle.

La prise en main de l'arme se fait alors en attrapant celle-ci par sa poignée au moyen d'une main, le pouce de cette main venant tout naturellement au contact du doigt de verrouillage pour le faire pivoter et le dégager de la rainure de la poignée. Comme précédemment, l'arme est dégagée suivant une direction perpendiculaire à la plaque support et le pointage de l'arme se fait en continuant le mouvement amorcé pour dégager l'arme.The grip of the weapon is then done by catching it by its handle by means of one hand, the thumb of this hand coming quite naturally in contact with the locking finger to rotate it and release it from the groove of the handle. As before, the weapon is released in a direction perpendicular to the support plate and the pointing of the weapon is done by continuing the movement initiated to release the weapon.

Selon encore une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le système est complété par des moyens de positionnement et de centrage de l'arme par rapport à la plaque support, ces moyens étant constitués par des pions en saillie sur la plaque support et qui sont destinés à coopérer avec l'arme pour la positionner et la centrer correctement contre le support et permettre au doigt de verrouillage de s'engager automatiquement dans sa rainure associée, lorsque le tireur se désaisit de l'arme une fois celle-ci plaquée contre le support, ce qui a pour effet de ramener le doigt de verrouillage dans sa position de blocage sous l'action du ressort de rappel.According to yet another characteristic of the invention, the system is supplemented by means for positioning and centering the weapon relative to the support plate, these means being constituted by pins projecting from the support plate and which are intended to cooperate with the weapon in order to position and center it correctly against the support and allow the locking finger to automatically engage in its associated groove, when the shooter withdraws from the weapon once it is pressed against the support , which has for effect of returning the locking finger to its locked position under the action of the return spring.

D'une manière générale, certains des pions de positionnement et de centrage de l'arme contre la plaque support viennent se positionner dans l'espace intérieur délimité par le ou les pontets de l'arme, afin de pouvoir également immobiliser la ou les queues de détente associées pour éviter leur actionnement accidentel.In general, some of the positioning and centering pins of the weapon against the support plate are positioned in the interior space delimited by the trigger guard (s) of the weapon, in order to also be able to immobilize the tail (s) associated detents to avoid accidental actuation.

Un tel système présente de nombreux avantages, parmi lesquels on peut notamment citer :

  • une solidarisation entre l'arme et son support, ce qui empêche tout battement de l'arme contre le corps du tireur,
  • la possibilité de dégager l'arme et de la pointer suivant une direction quelconque en effectuant un mouvement continu, et
  • un blocage de la queue de détente de l'arme, ce qui évite toute possibilité d'un tir accidentel tant que l'arme est plaquée contre son support.
Such a system has many advantages, among which we can notably cite:
  • a connection between the weapon and its support, which prevents any beating of the weapon against the body of the shooter,
  • the possibility of removing the weapon and pointing it in any direction by making a continuous movement, and
  • a locking of the trigger tail of the weapon, which avoids any possibility of an accidental shooting as the weapon is pressed against its support.

D'autres avantages, caractéristiques et détails de l'invention ressortiront de la description explicative qui va suivre, faite en référence aux dessins annexés, donnés uniquement à titre d'exemple et dans lesquels :

Le système de port 1 d'une arme portative 2 selon un premier mode de réalisation illustré sur les figures 1 à 4, est constitué par un support rigide 3 sous la forme d'une plaque 4 sensiblement rectangulaire contre laquelle vient se plaquer l'arme 2 qui, dans l'exemple illustré à la figure 1, est un pistolet mitrailleur comportant deux poignées avant 5a et arrière 5b associées respectivement à deux queues de détente avant 6a et arrière 6b. D'une façon connue en soi, chaque queue de détente 6a et 6b est entourée par un pontet 7a, 7b qui est une partie globalement en forme de demi-cercle destinée à protéger la queue de détente et à la prémunir contre un fonctionnement inopiné.The carrying system 1 of a portable weapon 2 according to a first embodiment illustrated in Figures 1 to 4, consists of a rigid support 3 in the form of a substantially rectangular plate 4 against which the weapon is pressed 2 which, in the example illustrated in FIG. 1, is a submachine gun comprising two front handles 5a and rear 5b associated respectively with two front trigger tails 6a and rear 6b. In a manner known per se, each trigger tail 6a and 6b is surrounded by a trigger guard 7a, 7b which is a part generally in the form of a semicircle intended to protect the trigger tail and to protect it against unexpected operation.

La plaque support 4 est équipée sur l'une de ses faces principales 4a de moyens 10 (figure 2) qui permettent de positionner et de centrer correctement l'arme 2 contre la plaque support 4, et d'un dispositif de verrouillage 20 qui bloque l'arme 2 une fois celle-ci en appui contre la plaque support 4.The support plate 4 is equipped on one of its main faces 4a with means 10 (FIG. 2) which make it possible to correctly position and center the weapon 2 against the support plate 4, and with a locking device 20 which blocks the weapon 2 once it bears against the support plate 4.

Les moyens 10 qui permettent de positionner et de centrer l'arme 2 contre la plaque support 4 sont constitués par des plots 11b₁,11b₂ et 12a,12b en saillie sur la face principale 4a de la plaque support 4 et fixés à celle-ci au moyen de vis 13. Plus précisément, en se reportant aux figures 1 et 2, il est prévu deux plots 11b₁ et 11b₂ qui sont destinés à venir se loger dans l'espace interne délimité par le pontet arrière 7b et se positionner de part et d'autre de la queue de détente 6b. Les deux plots 11b₁ et 11b₂ globalement alignés suivant une direction parallèle à la direction longitudinale de la plaque support 4, viennent sensiblement au contact avec le pontet arrière 7b, et les dimensions du plot 11b₁ situé le plus en arrière sont telles qu'il vient au voisinage immédiat de la queue de détente arrière 6b afin d'immobiliser celle-ci. Il est également prévu deux plots 12a et 12b qui sont destinés à venir se loger dans les espaces internes délimités par les deux pontets avant 7a et 7b, respectivement. Ces deux plots 12a et 12b sont dimensionnés de manière à venir au contact des pontets avant 7a et arrière 7b dans une direction transversale par rapport à la plaque support 4. Le plot 12a se positionne entre la queue de détente avant 6a et la partie avant du pontet avant 7a, ce qui permet d'éviter de manoeuvrer la queue de détente avant 6a, et le plot 12b se positionne entre la queue de détente arrière 6b et le plot 11b₂.The means 10 which make it possible to position and center the weapon 2 against the support plate 4 are constituted by studs 11b₁, 11b₂ and 12a, 12b projecting from the main face 4a of the support plate 4 and fixed thereto at screw means 13. More specifically, with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, two studs 11b₁ and 11b₂ are provided which are intended to be housed in the internal space delimited by the rear bridge 7b and to be positioned on either side other of the trigger 6b. The two studs 11b₁ and 11b₂ generally aligned in a direction parallel to the longitudinal direction of the support plate 4, come substantially into contact with the rear bridge 7b, and the dimensions of the stud 11b₁ located furthest back are such that it comes to the immediate vicinity of the rear detent tail 6b in order to immobilize the latter. There are also two studs 12a and 12b which are intended for come and stay in the internal spaces defined by the two front bridges 7a and 7b, respectively. These two studs 12a and 12b are dimensioned so as to come into contact with the front bridges 7a and rear 7b in a transverse direction relative to the support plate 4. The stud 12a is positioned between the front detent tail 6a and the front part of the front trigger guard 7a, which makes it possible to avoid maneuvering the front trigger tail 6a, and the stud 12b is positioned between the rear trigger tail 6b and the stud 11b₂.

Pour parfaire le positionnement et le centrage de l'arme 2 contre la plaque support 4, il peut être également prévu des inserts 15 rapportés sur la face principale 4a de la plaque support 4 et qui viennent coopérer avec des parties de l'arme 2 qui ont une forme complémentaire de celle de ces inserts 15.To perfect the positioning and centering of the weapon 2 against the support plate 4, it can also be provided inserts 15 attached to the main face 4a of the support plate 4 and which come to cooperate with parts of the weapon 2 which have a shape complementary to that of these inserts 15.

En se reportant aux figures 1, 3 et 4, le dispositif de verrouillage 20 de l'arme 2 contre la plaque support 4 comprend un doigt mobile 21 à commande manuelle pouvant prendre deux positions, et un organe élastique de rappel 22 du doigt 21 dans l'une desdites positions ou position de blocage où son extrémité 21a vient se loger dans une rainure 23 de l'arme 2 pour bloquer celle-ci contre la plaque support 4.Referring to Figures 1, 3 and 4, the locking device 20 of the weapon 2 against the support plate 4 comprises a movable finger 21 with manual control which can take two positions, and an elastic return member 22 of the finger 21 in one of said positions or blocking position where its end 21a is received in a groove 23 of the weapon 2 to block the latter against the support plate 4.

En se reportant à la figure 3, le dispositif de verrouillage 20 comprend un bloc support 25 dont une face principale comporte un premier évidement 26 de forme globalement tronconique qui est délimité par deux bords obliques 26a et 26b, et un second évidement 27 également de forme tronconique qui est délimité par deux bords obliques 27a et 27b. Les deux troncs de cône formés par les deux évidements 26 et 27 sont opposés par leurs sommets, et les deux bords 26a et 27a non consécutifs des deux évidements 26 et 27 sont parallèles, ainsi que leurs deux autres bords non consécutifs 26b et 27b.Referring to FIG. 3, the locking device 20 comprises a support block 25, one main face of which has a first recess 26 of generally frustoconical shape which is delimited by two oblique edges 26a and 26b, and a second recess 27 also of shape frustoconical which is delimited by two oblique edges 27a and 27b. The two truncated cones formed by the two recesses 26 and 27 are opposed by their vertices, and the two non-consecutive edges 26a and 27a of the two recesses 26 and 27 are parallel, as well as their two other non-consecutive edges 26b and 27b.

Le bloc support 25 est traversé par un orifice 29 situé au voisinage de la zone de jonction entre les deux évidements 26 et 27. Un manchon 30 est engagé dans l'orifice 29 et il est traversé par une vis 31 qui est utilisée pour fixer le bloc support 25 sur la plaque support 4 et pour fixer un couvercle 32 rapporté sur la face principale du bloc support 25 qui comporte les évidements 26 et 27.The support block 25 is crossed by an orifice 29 located in the vicinity of the junction zone between the two recesses 26 and 27. A sleeve 30 is engaged in the orifice 29 and it is crossed by a screw 31 which is used to fix the support block 25 on the support plate 4 and to fix a cover 32 attached to the main face of the support block 25 which includes the recesses 26 and 27.

Le doigt 21 est logé dans l'espace formé par les deux évidements 26 et 27, est monté pivotant autour du manchon 30 et est mobile dans un plan parallèle à celui de la plaque support 4. Le doigt 21 fait saillie par une extrémité 21a au-delà de l'évidement 26, alors que son autre extrémité 21b fait saillie au-delà de l'évidement 27. Un bouton de manoeuvre 35 est rapporté sur l'extrémité 21b du doigt 21 et il sert à faire pivoter le doigt 21 dans les évidements 26 et 27 entre deux positions respectivement définies par les bords 26a et 27a des deux évidements 26 et 27 qui forment une première butée, et les bords 26b et 27b des deux évidements 26 et 27 qui forment une seconde butée.The finger 21 is housed in the space formed by the two recesses 26 and 27, is pivotally mounted around the sleeve 30 and is movable in a plane parallel to that of the support plate 4. The finger 21 projects by one end 21a at the beyond the recess 26, while its other end 21b projects beyond the recess 27. An operating button 35 is attached to the end 21b of the finger 21 and it serves to pivot the finger 21 in the recesses 26 and 27 between two positions respectively defined by the edges 26a and 27a of the two recesses 26 and 27 which form a first stop, and the edges 26b and 27b of the two recesses 26 and 27 which form a second stop.

Le bloc support 25 est immobilisé en rotation par l'intermédiaire d'un pion 36 situé sur l'axe médian et dont une extrémité s'engage dans la plaque support 4 et dont l'autre extrémité s'engage dans un second orifice 37 du bloc support 25. Avantageusement, le pion 36 fait saillie dans l'évidement 26 pour coopérer avec la lame ressort 22 qui est montée dans le plan de l'évidement 26 de manière à rappeler automatiquement par sa force de rappel le doigt 21 dans une position de blocage.The support block 25 is immobilized in rotation by means of a pin 36 located on the median axis and one end of which engages in the support plate 4 and the other end of which engages in a second orifice 37 of the Support block 25. Advantageously, the pin 36 projects into the recess 26 to cooperate with the leaf spring 22 which is mounted in the plane of the recess 26 so as to automatically return the finger 21 to its position by its return force. blocking.

Ainsi, en exerçant une force dans le sens indiqué par la flèche F (figure 4) à l'encontre de la force exercée par le ressort 22, on fait pivoter le doigt 21 autour du manchon 30 pour venir en butée contre les bords des deux évidements 26 et 27 qui déterminent la seconde position ou position d'ouverture du dispositif de verrouillage 20.Thus, by exerting a force in the direction indicated by the arrow F (FIG. 4) against the force exerted by the spring 22, the finger 21 is pivoted around the sleeve 30 to come into abutment against the edges of the two recesses 26 and 27 which determine the second position or open position of the locking device 20.

Dans le premier mode de réalisation illustré à la figure 1, le dispositif de verrouillage 20 est positionné sur la plaque support 4 de manière à se situer entre le pontet arrière 7b et la poignée avant 5a, la paroi externe du pontet arrière 7b qui fait face à la poignée avant 5a comportant la rainure 23 destinée à coopérer avec l'extrémité libre 21a du doigt de verrouillage 21.In the first embodiment illustrated in Figure 1, the locking device 20 is positioned on the support plate 4 so as to be located between the rear bridge 7b and the front handle 5a, the outer wall of the rear bridge 7b which faces to the front handle 5a comprising the groove 23 intended to cooperate with the free end 21a of the locking finger 21.

Enfin, la plaque support 4 est portée par le tireur par au moins une sangle de brèlage 40 de manière à l'immobiliser par exemple au niveau de la ceinture du tireur. A cet effet, la plaque support comporte plusieurs lumières 41 vers sa périphérie pour le libre passage de la ou des sangles de brèlage 40.Finally, the support plate 4 is carried by the shooter by at least one lashing strap 40 so as to immobilize it, for example at the level of the shooter's belt. To this end, the support plate has several openings 41 towards its periphery for the free passage of the lashing strap (s) 40.

Supposons que l'arme 2 est positionnée et centrée contre la face principale 4a de la plaque support 4, et que l'extrémité libre 21a du doigt de verrouillage 21 est engagée dans la rainure 23 du pontet arrière 7b et maintenue dans celle-ci par l'action exercée par le ressort de rappel 22 sur le doigt de verrouillage 21. L'arme 2 est alors immobilisée et fixée contre la plaque support 4 par le dispositif de verrouillage 20 (figure 1), et la plaque support 4 est immobilisée au niveau de la ceinture du tireur au moyen des sangles de brèlage 40.Suppose that the weapon 2 is positioned and centered against the main face 4a of the support plate 4, and that the free end 21a of the locking finger 21 is engaged in the groove 23 of the rear trigger guard 7b and held therein by the action exerted by the return spring 22 on the locking finger 21. The weapon 2 is then immobilized and fixed against the support plate 4 by the locking device 20 (FIG. 1), and the support plate 4 is immobilized at level of the shooter's belt by means of the lashing straps 40.

Lorsque le tireur décide de se saisir de son arme 2, la prise en main s'effectue en attrapant celle-ci par sa poignée avant 5a au moyen d'une main, le pouce de cette main venant tout naturellement au contact du bouton de manoeuvre 35 du dispositif de verrouillage 20, et le positionnement de la main autour de la poignée 6 force le doigt de verrouillage 21 à pivoter dans le sens de la flèche F, ce qui a pour effet de le dégager de la rainure 23 du pontet arrière 7b de l'arme 2. Simultanément, le tireur amorce un mouvement suivant une direction perpendiculaire au plan de la plaque support 4 pour dégager l'arme 2, et il peut ensuite et très rapidement pointer l'arme 2 dans une direction donnée en poursuivant le mouvement amorcé pour dégager l'arme 2 de la plaque support 4.When the shooter decides to take hold of his weapon 2, the grip is carried out by catching it by its front handle 5a by means of one hand, the thumb of this hand coming quite naturally in contact with the operating button. 35 of the locking device 20, and the positioning of the hand around the handle 6 forces the locking finger 21 to pivot in the direction of the arrow F, which has the effect of releasing it from the groove 23 of the rear bridge 7b weapon 2. Simultaneously, the shooter initiates a movement in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the support plate 4 to release the weapon 2, and he can then and very quickly point the weapon 2 in a given direction by continuing the movement initiated to release the weapon 2 of the support plate 4.

Lorsque le tireur décide de fixer à nouveau l'arme 2 sur la plaque support 4, il la rabat contre la plaque 4 en la positionnant et en la centrant correctement par rapport aux plots 11b₁, 11b₂,12a et 12b. Au cours du déplacement de l'arme, le tireur maintient par le pouce de sa main située autour de la poignée avant 5a, le doigt de verrouillage 21 dans sa position d'ouverture, si bien que lorsque l'arme 2 est plaquée contre la plaque support 4 et que le tireur retire sa main de la poignée avant 5a, le doigt de verrouillage 21 va venir s'engager automatiquement dans la rainure 23 par suite de l'action du ressort de rappel 22.When the shooter decides to fix the weapon 2 again on the support plate 4, he flaps it against the plate 4 by positioning and centering it correctly with respect to the studs 11b₁, 11b₂, 12a and 12b. During the movement of the weapon, the shooter maintains by the thumb of his hand located around the front handle 5a, the locking finger 21 in its open position, so that when the weapon 2 is pressed against the support plate 4 and the shooter removes his hand from the front handle 5a, the locking finger 21 will automatically engage in the groove 23 as a result of the action of the return spring 22.

Comme la plaque-support et les moyens de positionnement et d'immobilisation de l'arme sont symétriques par rapport à l'axe longitudinal médian de la plaque-support, l'arme peut être placée d'un côté ou de l'autre de cet axe, ce qui permet l'utilisation du même système de port par un gaucher ou par un droitier.As the support plate and the means for positioning and immobilizing the weapon are symmetrical with respect to the median longitudinal axis of the support plate, the weapon can be placed on one side or the other of this axis, which allows the use of the same port system by a left-handed or a right-handed person.

Selon un second mode de réalisation de l'invention tel qu'illustré à la figure 5, l'arme 2 est par exemple un pistolet automatique comprenant une poignée 5, une queue de détente 6 entourée d'un pontet 7.According to a second embodiment of the invention as illustrated in FIG. 5, the weapon 2 is for example an automatic pistol comprising a handle 5, a trigger shank 6 surrounded by a trigger guard 7.

Pour ce type d'arme, le dispositif de verrouillage 20 vient se positionner en arrière de la poignée 5, de manière à ce que l'extrémité libre de son doigt de verrouillage 21 puisse s'engager dans la rainure 23 formée sur la face arrière de la poignée 5 qui est en regard du dispositif de verrouillage 20.For this type of weapon, the locking device 20 is positioned behind the handle 5, so that the free end of its locking finger 21 can engage in the groove 23 formed on the rear face of the handle 5 which is opposite the locking device 20.

Comme dans le mode de réalisation précédent, il est prévu des moyens 10 pour positionner et centrer l'arme 2 contre la plaque support 4. Ces moyens 10 sont également constitués par des plots en saillie sur la face principale 4a de la plaque support 4. Plus précisément, un plot 11 fait saillie à l'intérieur de l'espace délimité par le pontet 7, et ses dimensions sont telles qu'il vient sensiblement au contact de la queue de détente 6 pour immobiliser celle-ci. Il est également prévu trois plots 12, un plot qui s'engage dans l'espace interne du pontet 7, un plot qui vient en contact avec la face avant de la poignée 5 et un plot qui prend appui sur la face inférieure du canon 2a de l'arme 2.As in the previous embodiment, means 10 are provided for positioning and centering the weapon 2 against the support plate 4. These means 10 are also constituted by studs projecting from the main face 4a of the support plate 4. More specifically, a stud 11 protrudes inside the space delimited by the trigger guard 7, and its dimensions are such that it comes substantially into contact with the detent tail 6 to immobilize the latter. There are also three studs 12, a stud which engages in the internal space of the trigger guard 7, a stud which comes into contact with the front face of the handle 5 and a stud which bears on the underside of the barrel 2a weapon 2.

Comme dans le mode de réalisation précédent, lorsque le tireur vient saisir la poignée 5 avec l'une de ses mains, le pouce de celle-ci vient tout naturellement en contact du bouton de manoeuvre 35 du doigt de verrouillage 21 pour le faire pivoter et le dégager de la rainure 23. Lorsque le tireur remet en place son arme 2 contre la plaque support 4, et qu'il se désaisit de la poignée 5, le doigt de verrouillage 21 vient se repositionner automatiquement dans la rainure 23 sous l'action du ressort de rappel (non représenté en figure 5).As in the previous embodiment, when the shooter comes to grip the handle 5 with one of his hands, the thumb of the latter comes naturally into contact with the operating button 35 of the locking finger 21 to rotate it and release it from the groove 23. When the shooter puts his weapon 2 back against the support plate 4, and he takes off the handle 5, the locking finger 21 is automatically repositioned in the groove 23 under the action of the return spring (not shown in Figure 5).

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est nullement limitée aux deux modes de réalisation qui ont été décrits précédemment et donnés uniquement à titre d'exemple. En particulier, il est possible de modifier la nature et le nombre des plots qui servent à positionner et centrer l'arme 2 contre la plaque support 4, notamment en fonction du type de l'arme portative utilisée.Of course, the invention is in no way limited to the two embodiments which have been described previously and given solely by way of example. In particular, it is possible to modify the nature and the number of studs which serve to position and center the weapon 2 against the support plate 4, in particular as a function of the type of the portable weapon used.
