Description

DISPOSITIF D'ADAPTATION D'UN ACCESSOIRE D'AIDE AU TIR SUR UNE ARME A FEU INDIVIDUELLEDEVICE FOR ADAPTING A FIRE SUPPORT ACCESSORY ON A PERSONAL FIREARMS
Le domaine technique de la présente invention est celui des systèmes d'accrochage d'accessoires sur une arme à feu individuelle, du type lance grenade, désignateur laser, torche, ou tout autre dispositif lanceur d'aide au tir.The technical field of the present invention is that of systems for attaching accessories to an individual firearm, of the grenade launcher type, laser designator, torch, or any other launching device for shooting assistance.
Il est bien connu de fixer sur une arme à feu individuelle divers accessoires. Pour chaque type d'accessoire, on prévoit une adaptation spécifique le plus souvent fixe, qui consiste à modifier l'arme, à en usiner certaines parties et parfois à supprimer des pièces d'origine. De plus, le démontage et le remontage de l'accessoire nécessite l'utilisation d'un outillage spécifique qui n'accompagne pas le tireur au cours des manœuvres. Dans ce cas, l'arme est dévolue à un usage spécifique et on conçoit aisément qu'il soit impossible de rendre l'accessoire interchangeable.It is well known to attach various accessories to an individual firearm. For each type of accessory, a specific, usually fixed adaptation is provided, which consists of modifying the weapon, machining certain parts of it and sometimes removing original parts. In addition, disassembly and reassembly of the accessory requires the use of specific tools that do not accompany the shooter during maneuvers. In this case, the weapon is used for a specific purpose and it is easy to see that it is impossible to make the accessory interchangeable.
Le Brevet US-A-4 580 362 décrit un adaptateur complexe pour fixer un désignateur laser sur une arme composée d'un très grand nombre de pièces ajustées de manière précise entres elles. Cet adaptateur présente les inconvénients mentionnés ci-dessous.US-A-4,580,362 describes a complex adapter for attaching a laser designator to a weapon composed of a very large number of parts precisely adjusted between them. This adapter has the drawbacks mentioned below.
Le grand inconvénient des modifications précitées réside dans le fait qu'elles sont exécutées de manière irréversible, ce qui rend l'arme spécifique et entraîne des contraintes de gestion et de maintenance particulière.The great disadvantage of the aforementioned modifications resides in the fact that they are carried out in an irreversible manner, which makes the weapon specific and involves particular management and maintenance constraints.
Un autre inconvénient réside dans la spécificité de chaque accessoire d'adaptation, autrement dit il existe autant d'adaptations que d'accessoires.Another drawback lies in the specificity of each adaptation accessory, in other words there are as many adaptations as accessories.
Un autre inconvénient réside dans le fait qu'il faut avoir recours à un armurier qualifié pour effectuer l'adaptation ou rendre l'arme à sa destination initiale à condition que la dégradation ne soit pas irréversible. Le but de la présente invention est de proposer un moyen d'adaptation d'accessoires sur une arme n'entraînant que des modifications minimales de l'arme, et ce pour une famille d'armes, afin d'éviter les inconvénients précédemment analysés.Another disadvantage lies in the fact that it is necessary to have recourse to a qualified gunsmith to carry out the adaptation or to return the weapon to its initial destination provided that the deterioration is not irreversible. The object of the present invention is to propose a means of adapting accessories to a weapon which only entails minimal modifications to the weapon, and this for a family of weapons, in order to avoid the drawbacks previously analyzed.
L'invention a donc pour objet un dispositif d'adaptation d'accessoires de tir sur une arme à feu individuelle au voisinage de la partie avant du canon, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend :The subject of the invention is therefore a device for adapting shooting accessories to an individual firearm in the vicinity of the front part of the barrel, characterized in that it comprises:
- un élément fixe solidaire de l'arme, et- a fixed element secured to the weapon, and
- un élément amovible solidarisable sur l'élément fixe et le canon de l'arme. Selon un mode de réalisation préférentiel de l'invention, l'élément fixe est d'une part, placé à l'opposé de l'extrémité libre du canon et d'autre part, solidaire de l'arme au niveau de l'extrémité avant du tube enveloppe de ladite arme. D'une manière générale, l'élément amovible est constitué d'une plaque longitudinale comportant à une extrémité une pièce de connexion à l'élément fixe et à l'autre extrémité une pièce d'accrochage sur le canon.- a removable element which can be joined to the fixed element and the barrel of the weapon. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the fixed element is on the one hand, placed opposite the free end of the barrel and on the other hand, secured to the weapon at the end front of the envelope tube of said weapon. In general, the removable element consists of a longitudinal plate comprising at one end a connecting part to the fixed element and at the other end a hooking part on the barrel.
Selon un exemple de réalisation, l'élément fixe et la pièce de connexion sont munis d'un moyen d'accrochage rapide du type baïonnette, ledit moyen d'accrochage comportant une lumière pratiquée dans l'élément fixe et un doigt prolongeant la pièce de connexion, la manœuvre d'accrochage étant réalisée par une rotation d'un quart de tour de l'élément amovible.According to an exemplary embodiment, the fixed element and the connection piece are provided with a quick coupling means of the bayonet type, said coupling means comprising a light formed in the fixed element and a finger extending the piece of connection, the attachment maneuver being carried out by a quarter-turn rotation of the removable element.
Toujours selon un exemple de réalisation, la pièce d'accrochage est constituée d'un crochet présentant une anse et une ouverture, l'ouverture étant adaptée au diamètre du canon, le crochet étant maintenu en place à l'aide de la bague support de l'arme engagée dans l'anse.Still according to an exemplary embodiment, the attachment piece consists of a hook having a handle and an opening, the opening being adapted to the diameter of the barrel, the hook being held in place by means of the support ring. the weapon engaged in the handle.
En variante, le crochet comporte un crochet complémentaire monté rotatif dans l'anse et destiné à coiffer le canon par l'intermédiaire de la bague.As a variant, the hook comprises a complementary hook rotatably mounted in the handle and intended to cover the barrel by means of the ring.
Le dispositif d'adaptation selon l'invention, s'applique notamment à la fixation d'un désignateur laser ou d'un lance grenade. Un tout premier avantage de l'invention réside dans l'utilisation simplifiée du dispositif d'adaptation sans outil spécifique.The adaptation device according to the invention applies in particular to the attachment of a laser designator or a grenade launcher. A very first advantage of the invention lies in the simplified use of the adaptation device without a specific tool.
Un autre avantage de l'invention réside dans la reproductibilité du montage de l'accessoire par rapport à l'arme, avec une fidélité acceptable.Another advantage of the invention lies in the reproducibility of the mounting of the accessory relative to the weapon, with acceptable fidelity.
Un autre avantage encore réside dans l'absence de dégradation des performances de l'arme.Yet another advantage lies in the absence of degradation of the performance of the weapon.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention seront mieux compris à la lecture du complément de description de modes de réalisation de l'invention qui va suivre en relation avec des dessins sur lesquels :Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will be better understood on reading the additional description of embodiments of the invention which will follow in relation to the drawings in which:

Comme cela ressort de ce qui précède, le dispositif d'adaptation peut être utilisé sur tous les types d'armes, soit directement sur le canon, soit sur des éléments enveloppant le canon. Dans la suite de la description, on va décrire l'application de l'invention à une arme particulière, sans que cela soit considéré comme une limitation. La figure 1 représente donc une arme 1 dont le canon 2 est protégé de façon connue par un tube enveloppe 3 terminé par un embout 4, dont le rôle est notamment d'assurer l'isolation et de supporter un certain nombre de pièces. Au niveau de son extrémité libre 5, le canon 2 est muni d'une bague 6 amovible, appelée communément bague support de grenade. Le tube enveloppe 3 et la partie du canon située entre la bague 6 et l'embout 4 sont protégés par le fût 7. Le dispositif selon l'invention comprend un élément fixe 8 fixé éventuellement de manière permanente sur le tube enveloppe 3 au niveau de l'embout 4. Cet élément 8 se présente sous la forme générale d'une pièce en L dont l'extrémité d'une branche 9 prend appui sur la zone 10 du tube enveloppe 3 au voisinage de l'embout 4 et dont l'autre branche 11 est fixée à l'aide d'une goupille 12 à la partie basse de l'embout 4. La branche 11 est percée d'une lumière 13 destinée à l'accrochage d'un élément amovible 14.As is apparent from the above, the adaptation device can be used on all types of weapons, either directly on the barrel, or on elements enveloping the barrel. In the following description, we will describe the application of the invention to a particular weapon, without this being considered as a limitation. FIG. 1 therefore represents a weapon 1, the barrel 2 of which is protected in a known manner by a casing tube 3 terminated by a tip 4, the role of which is in particular to provide insulation and to support a certain number of parts. At its free end 5, the barrel 2 is provided with a removable ring 6, commonly called grenade support ring. The casing tube 3 and the part of the barrel located between the ring 6 and the endpiece 4 are protected by the barrel 7. The device according to the invention comprises a fixed element 8 possibly fixed permanently on the casing tube 3 at the end piece 4. This element 8 is in the general form of an L-shaped piece, the end of a branch 9 of which bears on the zone 10 of the envelope tube 3 in the vicinity of the end piece 4 and the another branch 11 is fixed by means of a pin 12 to the lower part of the end piece 4. The branch 11 is pierced with a hole 13 intended for the attachment of a removable element 14.
L'élément amovible 14 se présente sous la forme d'une plaque longitudinale 15 destinée d'un côté à s'attacher à l'arme à l'aide de moyens d'accrochage et de l'autre côté à recevoir les différents accessoires. Bien entendu, sa forme peut être adaptée à l'accessoire en prévoyant par exemple deux encoches 16 et 17 dans lesquelles vont s'engager des ergots reste solidaire de l'accessoire. Les moyens d'accrochage sont constitués à une extrémité par une pièce de connexion 18 prolongée par un doigt radial 19 coiffé par une tête 20 et à l'autre extrémité par une griffe d'accrochage 21 s 'adaptant sur le canon 2.The removable element 14 is in the form of a longitudinal plate 15 intended on one side to attach to the weapon with the aid of attachment means and on the other side to receive the various accessories. Of course, its shape can be adapted to the accessory, for example by providing two notches 16 and 17 in which the pins will engage remains secured to the accessory. The hooking means are constituted at one end by a connection piece 18 extended by a radial finger 19 capped by a head 20 and at the other end by a hooking claw 21 adapting to the barrel 2.
La figure 2 représente une vue perspective de l'embout 4 prolongeant le tube enveloppe 3 aligné sur l'axe xx' du canon de l'arme. L'embout 4 se présente sous la forme générale d'un parallélépipède muni à sa base d'une encoche 22 délimitant deux joues latérales 23 et 24. Ces deux joues sont perforées d'une ouverture transversale 25 destinée à recevoir la goupille 12. La découpe D reçoit une goupille 7a (fig. 1) qui acrroche l'ensemble au fût 7 de l'arme.2 shows a perspective view of the tip 4 extending the envelope tube 3 aligned on the axis xx 'of the barrel of the weapon. The end piece 4 is in the general form of a parallelepiped provided at its base with a notch 22 delimiting two lateral cheeks 23 and 24. These two cheeks are perforated with a transverse opening 25 intended to receive the pin 12. The cutout D receives a pin 7a (fig. 1) which attaches the assembly to the barrel 7 of the weapon.
La figure 3 représente une vue perspective de l'élément 8 fixé au niveau du tube 3 solidaire de l'embout 4. A cette fin, la branche 9 présente une face supérieure 26 dont le profil est adapté à celui du tube enveloppe 3 du canon 2 de l'arme sur lequel elle prend appui. La hauteur de cette branche 9 est calculée de façon à ce que lorsqu'elle est en appui sur le canon, la tête 20 soit en appui sur la surface plane supérieure 27 d'une première partie 28 de la branche 11. Cette partie 28 est prolongée par une seconde partie 29 percée d'un canal 30, portant un bourrelet 31 destiné à s'engager dans l'encoche 22 et terminée de chaque côté par un ergot 32. Ainsi, lorsque 1'élément 8 est rapporté sur l'arme et après avoir appuyé la branche 9 contre la zone 10, le bourrelet 31 vient s'appuyer au fond de l'encoche 22 et la goupille 12 peut alors être engagée à travers les ouvertures 25 et le canal 30. Les deux ergots 32 sont appliqués contre la face avant de l'embout 4. L'élément 8 est donc totalement verrouillé par rapport à l'embout. L'élément amovible 14 représenté en vue de dessus sur la figure 4 présente deux percements 40 et 41 pour la fixation de l'accessoire par exemple à l'aide de vis. Bien entendu, tout autre système de fixation à brides ou grenouillères par exemple peut être utilisé. Sur cette figure 4, on voit que la tête 20 se présente sous la forme d'une pièce parallélépipédique dont la grande base est alignée sur l'axe K de la plaque 15.FIG. 3 represents a perspective view of the element 8 fixed at the level of the tube 3 secured to the end piece 4. To this end, the branch 9 has an upper face 26 whose profile is adapted to that of the casing tube 3 of the barrel 2 of the weapon on which it is supported. The height of this branch 9 is calculated so that when it is supported on the barrel, the head 20 is supported on the upper flat surface 27 of a first part 28 of the branch 11. This part 28 is extended by a second part 29 pierced with a channel 30, carrying a bead 31 intended to engage in the notch 22 and terminated on each side by a lug 32. Thus, when the element 8 is attached to the weapon and after having pressed the branch 9 against the zone 10, the bead 31 comes to bear at the bottom of the notch 22 and the pin 12 can then be engaged through the openings 25 and the channel 30. The two pins 32 are applied against the front face of the end piece 4. The element 8 is therefore completely locked relative to the end piece. The removable element 14 shown in top view in Figure 4 has two openings 40 and 41 for fixing the accessory, for example using screws. Of course, any other fastening system with flanges or latches for example can be used. In this FIG. 4, it can be seen that the head 20 is in the form of a parallelepipedal part, the large base of which is aligned on the axis K of the plate 15.
La figure 5 montre la forme de la lumière 13 qui est complémentaire à celle du doigt 19 et de la tête 20. Cette lumière 13 présente une forme globalement parallélépipédique dont la grande base est orientée suivant un axe YY' perpendiculaire à l'axe xx' du canon 2 et munie d'un évasement au niveau de sa partie centrale pour la réception du doigt 19. Ainsi, lorsqu'on introduit le doigt 19 dans la lumière 13 suivant l'axe YY' , la tête 20 vient affleurer la branche 11 pour s'y appliquer comme cela sera expliqué ci-après.FIG. 5 shows the shape of the light 13 which is complementary to that of the finger 19 and the head 20. This light 13 has a generally parallelepiped shape whose large base is oriented along an axis YY 'perpendicular to the axis xx' of the barrel 2 and provided with a flaring at its central part for the reception of the finger 19. Thus, when the finger 19 is introduced into the lumen 13 along the axis YY ', the head 20 comes flush with the branch 11 to apply it as will be explained below.
Les figures 6A et 6B représentent des coupes longitudinales suivant un axe perpendiculaire à l'axe K de la plaque 15 de deux modes de réalisation de la griffe d'accrochage 21 sur le canon 2 par l'intermédiaire de la bague 6 (figure 1) . Sur la figure 6A, la griffe d'accrochage se présente sous la forme d'un crochet 43 présentant une ouverture 44 et une anse 45. L'ouverture 44 est adaptée au diamètre du canon 2 et l'anse 45 présente un diamètre légèrement supérieur à celui de la bague 6 de l'arme.Figures 6A and 6B show longitudinal sections along an axis perpendicular to the axis K of the plate 15 of two embodiments of the hooking claw 21 on the barrel 2 via the ring 6 (Figure 1) . In FIG. 6A, the hooking claw is in the form of a hook 43 having an opening 44 and a handle 45. The opening 44 is adapted to the diameter of the barrel 2 and the handle 45 has a slightly greater diameter to that of ring 6 of the weapon.
Sur la figure 6B, la pièce d'accrochage se présente également sous la forme d'un crochet 46 présentant une ouverture 47 et une anse 48. Dans cette réalisation, les dimensions de l'anse et de l'ouverture sont sensiblement supérieures au diamètre de la bague 6, mais le crochet 46 est muni d'un crochet complémentaire 49 mobile en rotation par rapport au crochet par l'intermédiaire d'un ergot 50. Ainsi, en manœuvrant l'ergot 50, le crochet complémentaire 49 vient parfaire autour de la bague 6 la fermeture et le blocage du crochet 46 sur celle-ci solidaire du canon 2.In FIG. 6B, the attachment piece is also in the form of a hook 46 having an opening 47 and a handle 48. In this embodiment, the dimensions of the handle and of the opening are substantially greater than the diameter of the ring 6, but the hook 46 is provided with an additional hook 49 movable in rotation relative to the hook by means of a lug 50. Thus, by operating the lug 50, the additional hook 49 comes to perfect around of the ring 6 closing and blocking of the hook 46 on the latter secured to the barrel 2.
Le montage du dispositif d'adaptation s'effectue de la manière suivante, étant entendu que l'accessoire peut être fixé à la plaque 15 soit avant soit après la fixation sur l'arme. On équipe au préalable l'arme avec l'élément fixe 8 dès la conception de l'arme ou bien ultérieurement. Dans le premier cas, l'élément 8 peut faire partie intégrante de l'embout 4. On présente l'élément amovible 14 suivant une direction alignée sur l'axe YY' ce qui autorise l'introduction de la tête 20 dans la lumière 13. Lorsque celle-ci émerge de la lumière, on rabat d'un quart de tour la plaque 15 vers l'arme et la tête 20 prend alors appui sur la branche 11 réalisant ainsi la connexion de l'élément fixe 8 et de l'élément amovible 14. Simultanément, on engage le crochet 43 ou 46 autour du canon 2 ou de la bague 6. Le blocage du crochet 43 est réalisé à l'aide de la bague 6 mobile en translation sur le canon de l'arme de façon à être engagée dans l'anse 45. Le blocage du crochet 46 qui vient coiffer directement la bague 6 fixe l'élément 14 sur l'arme. On actionne ensuite l'ergot 50 du crochet complémentaire 49 qui vient alors fermer partiellement ou totalement l'ouverture 47.The mounting of the adaptation device is carried out as follows, it being understood that the accessory can be fixed to the plate 15 either before or after the fixing on the weapon. The weapon is fitted beforehand with the fixed element 8 from the design of the weapon or else later. In the first case, the element 8 can be an integral part of the endpiece 4. The removable element 14 is presented in a direction aligned on the axis YY 'which authorizes the introduction of the head 20 into the lumen 13 When the latter emerges from the light, the plate 15 is folded back by a quarter of a turn towards the weapon and the head 20 then bears on the branch 11 thus making the connection of the fixed element 8 and of the removable element 14. Simultaneously, the hook 43 or 46 is engaged around the barrel 2 or of the ring 6. The hook 43 is locked using the ring 6 movable in translation on the barrel of the weapon so to be engaged in the handle 45. The blocking of the hook 46 which directly covers the ring 6 fixes the element 14 on the weapon. The lug 50 of the additional hook 49 is then actuated, which then partially or completely closes the opening 47.
La bague 6 est munie généralement d'un ressort 51 (figure 1) et on s'arrange pour que le crochet 43 ou 46 vienne en appui sur celui-ci, que ladite bague soit fixe ou mobile, de façon à obtenir un rattrapage du jeu mécanique entre le crochet et la bague et une bonne immobilisation du verrouillage. Le démontage est effectué de manière inverse. Le dispositif selon l'invention permet encore de réaliser un alignement de l'accessoire sur l'axe du canon de manière satisfaisante, il est adaptable à divers accessoires et conserve au maximum les fonctions originales de l'arme. Une seule modification est nécessaire pour fixer l'élément fixe, et le montage et le démontage sont réalisés sans aucun outil.The ring 6 is generally provided with a spring 51 (FIG. 1) and arrangements are made for the hook 43 or 46 comes to bear on the latter, whether said ring is fixed or mobile, so as to obtain a take-up of the mechanical play between the hook and the ring and good immobilization of the locking. Disassembly is carried out in reverse. The device according to the invention also makes it possible to align the accessory on the axis of the barrel satisfactorily, it is adaptable to various accessories and retains the original functions of the weapon as much as possible. A single modification is necessary to fix the fixed element, and assembly and disassembly are carried out without any tools.
La figure 7 illustre un moyen particulier de rattrapage de jeu entre l'élément fixe 8 et l'élément amovible 14. A cette fin, la pièce de connexion 18 est munie d'un doigt télescopique. Celui-ci comprend une embase creuse 52 à l'intérieur de laquelle est engagé un axe 53 prolongé extérieurement par la tête 20. Un ressort 54 est disposé entre un épaulement 55 de l'embase creuse 52 et un épaulement 56 de l'axe 53. Ainsi, le montage élastique obtenu permet de rattraper le jeu d'assemblage vertical entre la lumière 13 et l'axe 53. Cette configuration est plus particulièrement utilisable pour un accessoire du type désignateur laser. Dans le cas où on souhaite un centrage plus précis, on peut ajouter un cône au niveau de l'axe 53 pour supprimer le jeu latéral de la connexion.FIG. 7 illustrates a particular means of taking up play between the fixed element 8 and the removable element 14. To this end, the connection piece 18 is provided with a telescopic finger. This comprises a hollow base 52 inside which is engaged an axis 53 extended externally by the head 20. A spring 54 is disposed between a shoulder 55 of the hollow base 52 and a shoulder 56 of the axis 53 Thus, the elastic mounting obtained makes it possible to make up for the vertical assembly clearance between the lumen 13 and the axis 53. This configuration is more particularly usable for an accessory of the laser designator type. In the case where more precise centering is desired, a cone can be added at the level of the axis 53 to remove the lateral play of the connection.
Sur la figure 8, on a représenté le montage d'un lance grenade 61 à l'aide du dispositif d'adaptation. Celui-ci étant plus volumineux qu'un désignateur laser, la plaque 15 est prolongée au-delà de la pièce d'accrochage 21 portant le crochet 49. L'arme 1 est dans cet exemple munie d'une bague 6 fixe.In Figure 8, there is shown the mounting of a grenade launcher 61 using the adapter device. The latter being larger than a laser designator, the plate 15 is extended beyond the attachment piece 21 carrying the hook 49. The weapon 1 is in this example provided with a fixed ring 6.
Sur la figure 9, on a représenté le montage du dispositif d'adaptation pour équiper une arme 1 à l'aide d'un désignateur laser 60. Le montage est strictement identique à celui décrit en relation avec la figure 1 avec un engagement de la bague 6 dans le crochet 43. FIG. 9 shows the mounting of the adaptation device for equipping a weapon 1 using a laser designator 60. The mounting is strictly identical to that described in relation to FIG. 1 with an engagement of the ring 6 in hook 43.
