- the mechanism 5 includes in particular a hammer 10 mounted to pivot around a supported shaft 12 in rotation by the body of the weapon 1.
- This hammer 10 is animated by an alternating pivoting movement between a cocking position and a percussion position, when the trigger 7 is pressed by the shooter's finger.
- the hammer 10 is armed by a spring 14 when it is in its position weapon, and it cooperates with a trigger (not shown), controlled by trigger 7 and which maintains hammer 10 in cocking position as long as the trigger is not activated.
- a braking system 15 makes it possible to slow down the movement of the hammer 10 during its movement towards its percussion position under the action of the force exerted by the arming spring 14, once the trigger is no longer engaged with the hammer 10.
- This braking system 15 is based on the action exerted on the hammer 10 by two opposite couples or antagonists which are applied simultaneously to the hammer 10 and defined from the force exerted by the spring 14.
- the braking system comprises a braking part 20 intended to come to rest on the hammer 10 when this the latter is in the arming position.
- a first couple C1 is applied to hammer 10, while a second pair antagonist C2 (C2 ⁇ C1) is simultaneously applied by the braking piece 20 on the hammer 10.
- the braking system 15 comprises a connecting rod 22 mounted between the hammer 10 and the workpiece braking 20.
- This connecting rod 22 supports the spring arming 14 so that the force of this spring 14, simultaneously applied to the hammer 10 and the braking part 20, generates the aforementioned two pairs C1 and C2.
- the hammer 10 comprises a body 24, one end of which is articulated on the shaft 12 and the other end of which forms a percussion element 26.
- a bearing surface 28 is formed by a shoulder-shaped recess between the body 24 and the percussion element 26 of the hammer 10.
- the braking part 20 comprises a body 30, one of which end forms a bearing surface 32 and the other of which end extends, substantially at 90 °, by a tail 34 located in the same plane as the body 30.
- the braking part 20 is pivotally mounted around a shaft 36 supported by the weapon body 1 and parallel to the pivot shaft 12 of the hammer 10.
- the hammer 10 and the braking piece 20 are positioned in the same plane parallel to the plane of symmetry of weapon 1 passing through the barrel assembly 2.
- the connecting rod 22 of the retarder device 15 is mounted articulated, at one end, with the hammer 10 on a shaft 38 parallel to the pivot shafts 12 and 36 of the hammer 10 and brake piece 20, while its other end freely passes through an opening 40 pierced in the tail 34 of the braking piece 20.
- a collar or boss 42 is provided in the central part of the connecting rod 22, and the arming spring 14 of the hammer 10 is mounted around the rod 22 so that its two ends take respectively support on the boss 42 and on the part braking 20.
- the force of spring 14 is therefore applied simultaneously on hammer 10 at an application point materialized by the shaft 38 mounted between the hammer 10 and the rod 22, and on the braking part 20 at a point located at tail level 34 of his body 30.
- These two points are located on the longitudinal axis X-X of the connecting rod 22, and the pivot axes of the hammer 10 and of the braking part 20, materialized by the shafts 12 and 36, are respectively located at distances D1 and D2 (D1> D2) of the X-X axis.
- the torque resulting applied to the hammer 10 is equal to the difference of the two couples C1 and C2, so that the hammer movement 10 is slowed down on at least one part of its displacement travel to its position of percussion.
- the bearing surfaces 28 and 32 of the hammer 10 and of the braking part 20 are dimensioned so to stay in contact with each other on at least one part of the travel stroke of the hammer 10. In playing on the dimensioning of these surfaces 28 and 32, as well as on the value of the pairs C1 and C2, we can adjust the hammer deceleration speed 10.
- the return movement of the hammer of its percussion position to its arming position is obtained for example by the movement of the breech of the mechanism 5 of the weapon.
- this braking 15 of which an application example has been given in the case of an operating mechanism of a handgun fire, can of course be applied to other areas where it is necessary to slow down the movement swivel in one piece.

Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un procédé pour freiner le mouvement d'une pièce armée par un ressort et animée d'un mouvement pivotant alternatif.The present invention relates to a method for braking the movement of a part armed by a spring and animated by a reciprocating swivel movement.
Le domaine d'application de l'invention est notamment, mais non exclusivement, celui des armes à feu automatiques de petit calibre, la pièce à freiner étant le marteau du mécanisme de fonctionnement de l'arme.The field of application of the invention is in particular, but not exclusively, that of the automatic firearms of small caliber, the part to be braked being the hammer of the weapon operating mechanism.
Une arme à feu du type précité peut fonctionner à une cadence de 1200 coups/mn, par exemple, et le problème posé est de pouvoir réduire une telle cadence de tir pour augmenter notamment la précision de tir de l'arme.A firearm of the above type can operate at one rate of 1200 strokes / min, for example, and the problem posed is to be able to reduce such a rate of fire for notably increase the accuracy of the weapon's shooting.
Jusqu'à maintenant, des systèmes de ralentissement de la cadence de tir d'une arme à feu automatique de petit calibre sont basés sur l'inertie de masselottes lancées ou sur des systèmes d'horlogerie. Dans le cas de masselottes lancées, il faut disposer d'un volume important pour assurer le déplacement des masselottes, alors qu'un système d'horlogerie est d'une grande complexité, si bien qu'aucun de ces deux systèmes n'est simple à mettre en oeuvre.Until now, slowdown systems of the rate of fire of a small automatic firearm caliber are based on the inertia of launched flyweights or on clock systems. In the case of weights launched, a large volume is required to ensure moving the weights, while a system is of great complexity, so that none of these two systems are not easy to implement.
Le brevet US2791942 décrit ainsi un tel système de
ralentissement de tir utilisant un dispositif horloger. Ce
système est appliqué à une arme automatique comprenant un
marteau animé d'un mouvement pivotant alternatif entre une
position d'armement et une position de percussion. Ce brevet
est pris comme base du préambule de la revendication 1.The patent US2791942 thus describes such a system of
slowdown of firing using a clockwork device. This
system is applied to an automatic weapon comprising a
hammer with an alternating pivoting movement between a
cocking position and a percussion position. This patent
is taken as the basis of the preamble of
Le but de l'invention est d'apporter une solution nouvelle au problème du ralentissement d'une pièce animée d'un mouvement pivotant alternatif, tel que le marteau d'une arme à feu, et dont la mise en oeuvre soit simple et peu coûteuse.The object of the invention is to provide a solution new to the problem of slowing down an animated play of a reciprocating pivoting movement, such as the hammer of a firearm, and whose implementation is simple and little expensive.
A cet effet, l'invention propose un procédé pour freiner le mouvement d'une pièce soumise à l'action d'un ressort et animée d'un mouvement pivotant alternatif entre une première et une deuxième position, la pièce étant soumise à un premier couple résultant de l'exercice au niveau d'un premier point d'application sur ladite pièce de la force de détente exercée par le ressort à l'état bandé, pour entraíner en mouvement la pièce de sa première à sa seconde position, pièce revenant à sa première position sous l'action d'un autre organe moteur, procédé caractérisé en ce qu'il consiste à appliquer à cette pièce un second couple ayant une valeur inférieure au premier, pour ralentir le mouvement de la pièce, second couple qui lui est appliqué par l'intermédiaire d'une seconde pièce pivotante venant en appui sur la pièce à freiner sur au moins une partie de la course de déplacement de cette dernière entre sa première et sa seconde position pour s'opposer à l'action du premier couple précité, seconde pièce dont l'appui sur la première pièce est provoqué par la force de détente du ressort qui lui est appliquée au niveau d'un second point d'application sur ladite seconde pièce.To this end, the invention provides a method for slow down the movement of a part subjected to the action of a spring and driven by an alternating pivoting movement between a first and a second position, the part being subjected to a first couple resulting from exercise at a first point of application on said part of the force of relaxation exerted by the spring in the banded state, to drive moving the piece from its first to its second position, part returning to its first position under the action of a other driving member, process characterized in that it consists to apply to this part a second couple having a value lower than the first, to slow the movement of the piece, second couple applied to it through a second pivoting part bearing on the part to brake on at least part of the travel stroke of the latter between its first and its second position to oppose the action of the aforementioned first couple, second part whose support on the first part is caused by the spring expansion force applied to it at the level a second point of application on said second part.
L'invention concerne également un système pour la mise en oeuvre de ce procédé, système qui est caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend une seconde pièce ou pièce freinante montée pivotante autour d'un arbre et reliée à la pièce à freiner au moyen d'une tige de liaison s'étendant perpendiculairement aux deux arbres d'articulation des deux pièces, la tige de liaison étant articulée sur la pièce à freiner et traversant librement une ouverture de la pièce freinante, le ressort d'armement étant monté autour de la tige et en appui sur la pièce freinante et un bossage prévu dans la partie médiane de la tige, et en ce que les deux arbres d'articulation sont situés à des distances différentes de l'axe de la tige de liaison pour que la force de rappel du ressort d'armement, à l'état bandé lorsque la pièce à freiner est dans sa première position, soit simultanément appliquée aux deux pièces en donnant naissance à deux couplés antagonistes pour ralentir le mouvement de la pièce sur au moins une partie de la course de déplacement vers sa seconde position.The invention also relates to a system for setting using this method, system which is characterized in that that it includes a second piece or braking piece mounted swivel around a shaft and connected to the part to be braked at by means of a connecting rod extending perpendicularly to the two articulation shafts of the two parts, the rod link being articulated on the part to be braked and passing through freely opening the braking part, the spring armament being mounted around the rod and resting on the braking part and a boss provided in the middle part of the rod, and in that the two articulation shafts are located at different distances from the axis of the rod connection so that the return force of the arming spring, at the bandaged state when the part to be braked is in its first position, or simultaneously applied to the two parts in giving birth to two opposing pairs to slow down the movement of the part over at least part of the stroke moving to its second position.
D'une manière générale, le procédé et le système conforme à l'invention peuvent s'appliquer à une arme à feu de petit calibre, où la pièce à freiner est le marteau du mécanisme de fonctionnement de cette arme.In general, the method and the system according to the invention can be applied to a firearm small caliber, where the part to be braked is the hammer of the operating mechanism of this weapon.
Ainsi, il est possible de réduire la cadence de tir de l'arme pour augmenter la précision de tir, sans modifier fondamentalement le mécanisme de l'arme.Thus, it is possible to reduce the rate of firing the weapon to increase the accuracy of shooting, without fundamentally change the mechanism of the weapon.
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 :
- la figure 1 est une vue schématique, avec arrachement partiel, d'une arme à feu dont le mécanisme est équipé d'un système de freinage selon l'invention, et
- les figures 2 et 3 sont des vues schématiques de principe pour illustrer le fonctionnement du système illustré à la figure 1.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic view, with partial cutaway, of a firearm whose mechanism is equipped with a braking system according to the invention, and
- Figures 2 and 3 are schematic views in principle to illustrate the operation of the system illustrated in Figure 1.
L'arme à feu 1, telle que représentée
schématiquement à la figure 1, est une arme automatique
de petit calibre comprenant un ensemble canon 2, une
crosse 4 dans laquelle est logée un mécanisme 5 de
commande de fonctionnement de l'arme, une détente 7
reliée au mécanisme 5 et une poignée 9 pour supporter
l'arme 1.
Le mécanisme 5 comprend notamment un
marteau 10 monté pivotant autour d'un arbre 12 supporté
en rotation par le corps de l'arme 1. Ce marteau 10 est
animé d'un mouvement pivotant alternatif entre une
position d'armement et une position de percussion,
lorsque la détente 7 est pressée par le doigt du tireur.The
D'une manière générale, le marteau 10 est armé
par un ressort 14 lorsqu'il est dans sa position
d'armement, et il coopère avec une gâchette (non
représentée), commandée par la détente 7 et qui maintient
le marteau 10 en position d'armement tant que la gâchette
n'est pas actionnée.In general, the
Un système de freinage 15 permet de ralentir
le mouvement du marteau 10 lors de son déplacement vers
sa position de percussion sous l'action de la force exercée
par le ressort d'armement 14, une fois que la gâchette n'est
plus en prise avec le marteau 10.A
Ce système de freinage 15 est basé sur l'action
exercée sur le marteau 10 par deux couples opposés ou
antagonistes qui sont appliqués simultanément au marteau 10
et définis à partir de la force exercée par le ressort
d'armement 14.This
Plus précisément, en se reportant aux figures 2 et 3,
le système de freinage comprend une pièce freinante 20
destinée à venir en appui sur le marteau 10 lorsque ce
dernier est en position d'armement. Un premier couple C1 est
appliqué sur le marteau 10, alors qu'un second couple
antagoniste C2 (C2 < C1) est simultanément appliqué par la
pièce freinante 20 sur le marteau 10.More specifically, with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3,
the braking system comprises a
A cet effet, le système de freinage 15 comprend une
tige de liaison 22 montée entre le marteau 10 et la pièce
freinante 20. Cette tige de liaison 22 supporte le ressort
d'armement 14 de manière à ce que la force de ce ressort 14,
simultanément appliquée au marteau 10 et à la pièce freinante
20, engendre les deux couples C1 et C2 précités.To this end, the
Le marteau 10 comprend un corps 24 dont une extrémité
est articulée sur l'arbre 12 et dont l'autre extrémité forme
un élément de percussion 26. Une surface d'appui 28 est
formée par un décrochement formant épaulement, entre le corps
24 et l'élément de percussion 26 du marteau 10.The
La pièce freinante 20 comprend un corps 30 dont une
extrémité forme une surface d'appui 32 et dont l'autre
extrémité se prolonge, sensiblement à 90°, par une queue 34
située dans le même plan que le corps 30. La pièce freinante
20 est montée pivotante autour d'un arbre 36 supporté par le
corps de l'arme 1 et parallèle à l'arbre de pivotement 12 du
marteau 10.The
Le marteau 10 et la pièce freinante 20 sont
positionnés dans un même plan parallèle au plan de symétrie
de l'arme 1 passant par l'ensemble canon 2. The
La tige de liaison 22 du dispositif ralentisseur 15
est montée articulée, à une extrémité, au marteau 10 sur un
arbre 38 parallèle aux arbres de pivotement 12 et 36 du
marteau 10 et de la pièce freinante 20, alors que son autre
extrémité traverse librement une ouverture 40 percée dans la
queue 34 de la pièce freinante 20. Un collet ou bossage 42
est prévu dans la partie centrale de la tige de liaison 22,
et le ressort d'armement 14 du marteau 10 est monté autour de
la tige 22 de manière à ce que ses deux extrémités prennent
respectivement appui sur le bossage 42 et sur la pièce
freinante 20.The connecting
La force du ressort 14 est par conséquent appliquée
simultanément sur le marteau 10 en un point d'application
matérialisé par l'arbre 38 monté entre le marteau 10 et la
tige 22, et sur la pièce freinante 20 en un point situé au
niveau de la queue 34 de son corps 30. Ces deux points
d'application sont situés sur l'axe longitudinal X-X de la
tige de liaison 22, et les axes de pivotement du marteau 10
et de la pièce freinante 20, matérialisés par les arbres 12
et 36, sont respectivement situés à des distances D1 et D2
(D1 > D2) de l'axe X-X.The force of
En se reportant à la figure 3, il va être décrit le
principe de fonctionnement du dispositif ralentisseur 30.Referring to Figure 3, there will be described the
operating principle of the
Lorsque le marteau 10 est dans sa position d'armement,
sa surface d'appui 28 est au contact de la surface d'appui 32
de la pièce freinante 20, et le ressort 14 est à l'état
bandé. La force de ce ressort 14 s'applique simultanément et
avec la même intensité sur le marteau 10 et sur la pièces
freinante 20. Cette force donne naissance au premier couple
C1 qui est appliqué sur le marteau 10 et qui tend à le faire
pivoter en direction de sa position de percussion, et donne
naissance au
second couple antagoniste C2 qui est également appliqué
sur le marteau 10 par l'intermédiaire de la pièce
freinante 20 et qui tend à s'opposer à l'action exercée
par le couple C1. Dans ces conditions, tant que la pièce
freinante 20 est en appui sur le marteau 10, le couple
résultant appliqué sur le marteau 10 est égal à la
différence des deux couples C1 et C2, si bien que le
mouvement du marteau 10 est ralenti sur au moins une
partie de sa course de déplacement vers sa position de
percussion. Les surfaces d'appui 28 et 32 du marteau 10
et de la pièce freinante 20 sont dimensionnées de manière
à rester en contact l'une avec l'autre sur au moins une
partie de la course de déplacement du marteau 10. En
jouant sur le dimensionnement de ces surfaces 28 et 32,
ainsi que sur la valeur des couples C1 et C2, on peut
régler la vitesse de ralentissement du marteau 10.When the
Le mouvement de retour du marteau de sa
position de percussion à sa position d'armement, est
obtenu par exemple par le mouvement de la culasse du
mécanisme 5 de l'arme.The return movement of the hammer of its
percussion position to its arming position, is
obtained for example by the movement of the breech of the
D'une manière générale, ce dispositif de
freinage 15 dont un exemple d'application a été donné
dans le cas d'un mécanisme de fonctionnement d'une arme à
feu, peut bien évidemment être appliqué à d'autres
domaines où il est nécessaire de ralentir le mouvement
pivotant d'une pièce.Generally speaking, this
