Abstract

Eine von mehreren Methoden, um ein Zielfernrohr lösbar mit einer Waffe zu verbinden, ist bei der als sogenannte "Schwenkmontage" bezeichneten Zielfernrohrhalterung die Arretierung mittels eines durch Federkraft in Verschlußstellung gehaltenen Klemmkeiles. Durch einen Schlag oder insbesondere durch die bei Waffen mit starkem Rückstoß auftretenden Kraftkomponenten kommt es vor, daß die Federkraft überwunden wird und der Verschluß sich ungewollt öffnet. Das Einsetzen mehrerer oder verstärkter Federn bewirkte einerseits eine nicht vertretbare Schwergängigkeit des Verschlusses, andererseits brachte es trotzdem nicht den gewünschten Erfolg. Die Lösung des Problems bringt die Erfindung dadurch, daß durch Federkraft (Feder 6) lediglich die Einstellung des Klemmbackens (3) vorgenommen und der Drehbolzen (4) an einer selbsttätigen Drehung gehindert wird. Ein selbsttätiges ungewollten Abheben, gleichbedeutend einer Entriegelung des Klemmbackens (3) ist nicht möglich, weil die Anlagefläche des Drehbolzens (4) an der spiegelbildlichen Anlagefläche (7) des Klemmbackens (3) anliegt und nicht abweichen kann. Die Erfindung ist Bestandteil von Zielfernrohrhalterungen für Jagd- und Sportwaffen, um damit Zielfernrohre mit größter Wiederholgenauigkeit abnehmen und aufsetzen zu können. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>One of several methods for releasably connecting a rifle scope to a weapon is in the case of the so-called "pivot mount" rifle scope holder, which is locked by means of a clamping wedge held in the locked position by spring force. A blow or, in particular, the force components that occur in weapons with a strong recoil, means that the spring force is overcome and the breech opens unintentionally. The use of several or reinforced springs on the one hand caused the lock to become unreasonably stiff, but on the other hand it did not achieve the desired success. The invention solves the problem in that the spring jaw (spring 6) merely adjusts the clamping jaw (3) and prevents the pivot pin (4) from rotating automatically. An automatic unwanted lifting, equivalent to unlocking the clamping jaw (3), is not possible because the contact surface of the pivot pin (4) lies against the mirror-inverting contact surface (7) of the clamping jaw (3) and cannot deviate. The invention is part of rifle scope mounts for hunting and sporting weapons in order to be able to remove and mount riflescopes with the greatest repeatability. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>

Description

Die Zielfernrohrhalterung mit ring- oder prismaförmiger Aufnahme für ein Zielfernrohr dient bekannterweise zum lösbaren oder unlösbaren Befestigen eines Zielfernrohres auf einem Gewehr.The rifle scope holder with a ring-shaped or prism-shaped receptacle for a rifle scope is known for releasably or non-releasably attaching a riflescope to a rifle.

Eine von mehreren bekannten Befestigungsarten der lösbaren Zielfernrohrhalterungen ist die Klemmung eines oder zweier Teile der Zielfernrohrhalterung mittels eines Klemmbackens gegen die Seite einer oder zweier Schienen mit vorzugsweise prismaförmiger Ausnehmung (10), die ein- oder doppelseitig in die Oberseite des Gewehres fest eingearbeitet oder nachträglich aufgebracht worden sind. Bei den sogenannten Schwehmontagen wird die Zielfernrohrhalterung mit dem Zielfernrohr um einen Drehpunkt bewegt, bis sie bei zweiteiliger Ausführung mit dem sogenannten Hinterfuß, bei einteiliger Ausführung an der Stelle der Verschlußvorrichtung am für die Arretierung vorgesehenen zweiten Befestigungspunkt anliegt, an dem sie arretiert wird. Der Hinterfuß der zweiteiligen Ausführung kann aus einem Stück bestehen oder aus mehreren, vorzugsweise zwei Teilen zusammengesetzt sein. Die Abbildung zeigt das Gehäuse (1) des Hinterfußes der zweiteiligen Ausführung, das in seinen die Erfindung betreffenden Kontruktionsmerkmalen mit der einteiligen Ausführung baugleich ist.One of several known types of attachment of the detachable rifle scope mounts is the clamping of one or two parts of the rifle scope mount by means of a clamping jaw against the side of one or two rails, preferably with a prism-shaped recess (10), which is integrated into one side or double sides of the top of the rifle or subsequently attached have been. In the so-called floating mount, the rifle scope holder with the rifle scope is moved around a pivot point until, in the case of a two-part version with the so-called rear foot, in the case of a one-piece version, it rests on the location of the locking device at the second fastening point provided for locking, at which it is locked. The rear foot of the two-part design can consist of one piece or be composed of several, preferably two parts. The figure shows the housing (1) of the rear foot of the two-part design, which is identical in construction features relating to the invention with the one-piece design.

Bei einer bekannten Art der Schwenkmontage ist die Anlageseite z.B. prismaförmig gestaltet. Zum Auf- und Abnehmen des Zielfernrohres ist es erforderlich, die der Anlagefläche (2) gegenüberliegende Seite zu verschließen oder freizugeben, was bei der beschriebenen Kontruktion durch den Klemmbacken (3) geschieht. Das Öffnen geschieht durch Anheben des Griffs (5).In a known type of swivel mounting, the contact side is e.g. prism-shaped. To mount and dismount the riflescope, it is necessary to close or release the side opposite the contact surface (2), which happens in the described construction through the clamping jaws (3). It is opened by lifting the handle (5).

Da der Klemmbacken bei bisherigen ähnlichen Ausführungen zum Beispiel Seite 44 im eigenen Katalog unter der Bezeichnung "EAW-PIVOT-Montage 2000" und Patentanmeldung p. 4133932.0 vom 14.10.91 von Herrn Georg Recknagel, Schweinfurt mittels Federkraft in seiner Verschlußstellung gehalten wird, konnte ein unbeabsichtigtes Öffnen bzw. Lockern der Verriegelung nicht gänzlich ausgeschlossen werden.
Dieser Nachteil wird durch die in den angemeldeten Patentansprüche aufgeführten Merkmale dadurch beseitigt, daß der Drehbolzen (4) in Verschlußstellung eine mechanische formschlüssige Verriegelung des Klemmbackens (3) bewirkt, wobei die vorhandene Torsionsfeder (6) eine Drehung des Drehbolzenverschlusses, gleichbedeutend einem Öffnen des Klemmbackens (3), infolge von Außen einwirkenden Kräften, wie Rückstoß o.ä., verhindert.
Since the clamping jaws in previous versions, for example, page 44 in their own catalog under the name " EAW-PIVOT-Montage 2000" and patent application p. 4133932.0 from October 14th, 1991 by Mr. Georg Recknagel, Schweinfurt, is held in its closed position by spring force, an unintentional opening or loosening of the lock could not be completely ruled out.
This disadvantage is eliminated by the features listed in the patent claims in that the pivot pin (4) in the closed position has a mechanical positive locking of the jaw (3), the existing torsion spring (6) preventing rotation of the pivot bolt lock, equivalent to opening of the jaw (3), due to external forces such as recoil or the like.

Beim Einschwenken des Zielfernrohres ist der Verschlußhebel (5) anzuheben, wodurch der Klemmbacken (3) in Offenstellung gebracht wird. Nach Anlage des Hinterfußes bzw. der Verschlußvorrichtung am Verriegelungspunkt ist der Verschlußhebel (5) nach unten zu bewegen, wodurch der Klemmbacken (3) in Verriegelungsstellung gebracht wird. Dabei fügt sich der mit einer exzentrisch oder konzentrisch ausgeführten Anlagefläche versehene Drehbolzen (4) in die spiegelbildlich ausgeführte Anlagefläche (7) im drehbar gelagerten Klemmbacken (3) ein und verriegelt diesen. Eine Torsionsfeder (6) hält den Drehbolzen (4) in der Verriegelungsstellung. Ein Öffnen des Verschlußes ist erst dann wieder möglich, wenn durch Drehung des Verschlußbolzens (4) der Klemmbacken (3) freigegeben wird, so daß sich dieser um den Drehpunkt (9) bewegen kann.When swiveling in the riflescope, the locking lever (5) has to be raised, which brings the clamping jaws (3) into the open position. After the rear foot or the locking device has been placed at the locking point, the locking lever (5) must be moved downwards, as a result of which the clamping jaws (3) are brought into the locking position. The pivot pin (4), which is provided with an eccentrically or concentrically designed contact surface, fits into the mirrored contact surface (7) in the rotatably mounted clamping jaws (3) and locks it. A torsion spring (6) holds the pivot pin (4) in the locked position. It is only possible to open the closure again when the clamping jaws (3) are released by rotating the locking bolt (4) so that it can move about the pivot point (9).

Der Vorteil dieser Erfindung ist, daß sich der Verschluß nicht selbsttätig öffnen kann und dient damit der allgemeinen Sicherheit, der Treffsicherheit und verbessert die Zuverlässigkeit der gesamten Zielfernrohrhalterung.The advantage of this invention is that the breech cannot open automatically and thus serves general safety, accuracy and improves the reliability of the entire scope holder.
