Abstract

The front of the rifle has a folding support hinged at the front of the stock to steady the weapon when used in the prone position. The front of the stock has a longitudinal bore to hold a swivel post (11) attached to the head (10) of the stand mounting. This allows the stand to swivel to either side and allows the two legs to be splayed. The legs are linked to the head by jointed connectors and covered with elastic to prevent injury. The swivel movement of the post is limited by a cross bar (13) loosely fitted into a slot (14) across the post. This also prevents the stand from being pulled out of the stock.

Description

Die Erfindung handelt von einem Gewehr mit einem Vorderschaft, an dem ein aus einem Trägerteil und einklappbaren Beinen bestehendes Zweibein angebracht ist, wobei die Verbindung von Trägerteil und Bein mittels an ihrem äußeren Ende verdickter Zapfen mit abgeschnittenem Sektor und Vertiefungen mit unterbrochener Umfangslippe erfolgt.The invention is about a rifle with a forearm, on the one of a carrier part and foldable Legs existing bipod is attached, the connection of the support part and leg by means of their outer end thickened cone with cut off sector and depressions with interrupted peripheral lip.

Ein Gewehr mit einem derartigen Zweibein ist etwa aus der DE-PS 24 26 573 bekannt. Es erfordert zur Feststellung der Beine in auf- und eingeklappter Stellung einen aufwendigen Federmechanismus, ist insgesamt schwer und sperrig. Auch in eingeklapptem Zustand stehen Teile ab, was Verletzungsgefahr bedeutet und das Erscheinungsbild der Waffe beeinträchtigt.A rifle with such a bipod is from DE-PS 24 26 573 known. It requires to ascertain the legs in the opened and folded position, an elaborate spring mechanism, is overall heavy and bulky. Even when folded Parts stand out, which means risk of injury and affects the appearance of the weapon.

Derartige Zweibeine werden üblicherweise an Militärwaffen vorgesehen. Aus den obigen Gründen konnten sie bei Jagd- und Sportwaffen nie Eingang finden. Sie wären aber auch dort erwünscht, um auch in ungünstigem Gelände aufgelegt zielen zu können.Such bipods are commonly used on military weapons intended. For the reasons above, they were able to hunt and Sporting weapons never find their way into the game. But you would also be welcome there to aim even in unfavorable terrain can.

Es ist daher Ziel der Erfindung, ein Zweibein zu schaffen, das diese Nachteile nicht hat und bei einer Jagd- oder Sportwaffe einsetzbar ist. It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a bipod that does not have these disadvantages and with a hunting or sports weapon can be used.

Dazu ist erfindungsgemäß

  • a) der Trägerteil um eine in Schußrichtung liegende Achse drehbar am Vorderschaft gelagert,
  • b) sind weiters die Zapfen Teil des Beines und die zugehörigen Vertiefungen im Trägerteil vorgesehen, wobei die Achsen der Vertiefungen und Zapfen in einer im wesentlichen quer zur Schußrichtung liegenden Ebene aufwärts geneigt angeordnet sind,
  • c) und weisen schließlich Trägerteil und Bein, eines eine kreisförmige Nut und eines einen in die Nut passenden, in der Richtung der Achse des Zapfens vorstehenden kreisförmigen Wulst auf, wobei die Achse von Nut und Wulst gleich der Achse des Zapfens ist und deren Durchmesser größer als der größte Durchmesser des Zapfens.
    • This is according to the invention
  • a) the carrier part is rotatably mounted on the forearm about an axis lying in the weft direction,
  • b) the pin part of the leg and the associated depressions are further provided in the carrier part, the axes of the depressions and pins being arranged inclined upwards in a plane lying essentially transversely to the firing direction,
  • c) and finally have carrier part and leg, one a circular groove and one a circular bead fitting into the groove and projecting in the direction of the axis of the pin, the axis of the groove and bead being equal to the axis of the pin and having a larger diameter than the largest diameter of the pin.

    • Wegen a) ist das Zweibein um die Längsachse schwenkbar mit dem Gewehr verbunden, sodaß auch bei geneigtem Gelände aufgelegt werden kann, ohne mit der Visierachse aus der Vertikalebene durch die Laufachse zu fallen.Because of a) the bipod can be pivoted about the longitudinal axis connected to the rifle, so that it also hangs up on sloping terrain can be made without using the sight axis from the vertical plane to fall through the barrel axis.

    Mit den gemäß b) geneigten Achsen kann die Grätschstellung der Beine auch mit geraden und flachen Beinen erreicht werden; durch die Vertiefungen im Trägerteil gibt es keine wegstehenden Teile, die zu Verletzungen führen könnten. Die Basisfläche des Beines liegt auf der entsprechend aufwärts geneigten Seitenfläche des Trägerteiles satt auf, sodaß auch gute Seitenführung gewährleistet ist.With the axes inclined according to b), the skewing position the legs can also be reached with straight and flat legs; due to the recesses in the carrier part there are no protruding ones Parts that could cause injuries. The base area of the leg lies on the correspondingly inclined one Side surface of the carrier part full, so that too good cornering is guaranteed.

    Nut und Wulst gemäß c) verbessern die Führung weiter und wirken als Reibungsbremse. Zugleich schützen sie die Zapfen vor Überbeanspruchung durch Zug und Biegung.Groove and bead according to c) further improve the guidance and have an effect as a friction brake. At the same time, they protect the cones from Overstress due to tension and bending.

    In vorteilhafter Ausbildung ist die in Schußrichtung liegende Achse des Trägerteiles mit diesem fest verbunden und ist von einem Querstift im Vorderschaft gegen Herausziehen gesichert. In an advantageous embodiment, the one lying in the weft direction Axis of the support member is firmly connected to this and is of a cross pin in the fore-end secured against pulling out.

    Der zur Achse des Trägerteiles exzentrische Querstift und die konvex V-förmige Quernut der Achse begrenzen den möglichen Winkelausschlag des Trägerteiles. Durch Ziehen des Querstiftes ist der Trägerteil leicht vom Vorderschaft abzunehmen, beispielsweise um die Beine in der sonst nicht erreichbaren aufwärts geschwenketen Stellung abnehmen und reinigen zu können.The eccentric to the axis of the support member and the convex V-shaped transverse groove of the axis limit the possible Angular deflection of the support part. By pulling the cross pin the support part is easy to remove from the forend, for example around the legs in the otherwise inaccessible to be able to remove and clean the swiveled position.

    Die bisher genannten Vorteile erlauben es, die Beine aus Kunststoff auszuführen, ohne Einbußen an Stabilität und Festigkeit hinnehmen zu müssen. Dabei können die Wurzeln der aus Metall bestehenden Zapfen umspritzt sein. Dadurch ist eine besonders leichte und formschöne Ausführung möglich.The advantages mentioned so far allow you to get your legs off Plastic, without sacrificing stability and strength to have to accept. The roots of be made of metal encapsulated. This is a particularly light and elegant design possible.

    Eine halbstarre Arretierung in der jeweiligen Position kann dadurch erreicht werden, daß der Trägerteil außerhalb des Wulstes eine Rampe aufweist, die mit der Basisfläche des Beines zusammenwirkt. Damit erübrigen sich die sonst üblichen Federn.A semi-rigid locking in the respective position can can be achieved in that the carrier part outside of Bead has a ramp that matches the base of the leg cooperates. This eliminates the usual requirements Feathers.

    Weiters können Beine und Vorderschaft so ausgebildet sein, daß die Beine in eingeklapptem Zustand einen Teil der Oberfläche des Vorderschaftes bilden. Das Vorhandensein eines Zweibeines ist dann überhaupt nicht zu erkennen. Das Bild einer schönen Jagdwaffe mit moderner Formgebung ist dann durch nichts getrübt. Schließlich können die Beine durch kleine Vorsprünge an den Beinen oder am Vorderschaft in eingezogener Stellung sicher verrastet werden.Furthermore, the legs and fore-end can be designed that the legs are folded part of the surface of the fore-end. The presence of one Then bipods are not recognizable at all. The picture of a beautiful hunting weapon with modern design is then through nothing tarnished. Finally, the legs can be small Projections on the legs or on the forearm in retracted Position are securely locked.

    Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand von Figuren beschrieben. Es stellen dar:

    Figur 1:
    Eine Seitenansicht des Vorderschaftes eines erfindungsgemäßen Gewehres mit eingeklapptem Zweibein,
    Figur 2:
    Wie Fig.1, jedoch mit ausgeklapptem Zweibein,
    Figur 3:
    Einen teilweisen Vertikalschnitt, vergrößert,
    Figur 4:
    Einen Querschnitt nach IV-IV in Fig.3.
    The invention is described below with reference to figures. They represent:
    Figure 1:
    A side view of the forearm of a rifle according to the invention with the bipod folded,
    Figure 2:
    Like Fig. 1, but with the bipod extended,
    Figure 3:
    A partial vertical section, enlarged,
    Figure 4:
    A cross section according to IV-IV in Fig.3.

    An dem in den Figuren 1,2 dargestellten Gewehr ist der Schaft mit 1 und der Vorderschaft mit 2 bezeichnet. Beide sind mit einem Gehäuse 3 verbunden, das ein Zielfernrohr 4 und den Lauf 5 trägt. Am Vorderschaft 2 ist auf jeder Seite ein Bein 6 vorgesehen, die gemeinsam ein Zweibein bilden. In eingeklappter Stellung (Figur 1) ist das nicht wahrnehmbar, weil das Bein 6 sich lückenlos in die Gesamtform des Vorderschaftes 2 einordnet.The stock is on the rifle shown in FIGS. 1, 2 denoted by 1 and the fore-end by 2. Both are with a housing 3 connected to a scope 4 and the Run 5 wears. There is one leg on the forearm 2 on each side 6 provided, which together form a bipod. In folded Position (Figure 1) is imperceptible because the leg 6 fits seamlessly into the overall shape of the fore-end 2 classifies.

    Figur 2 zeigt das Bein 6 in der ausgeklappten Stellung 6', dann erst ist der Vorderschaft 2 sichtbar.FIG. 2 shows the leg 6 in the extended position 6 ', only then is the fore-end 2 visible.

    In den Figuren 3 und 4 sind die das Zweibein betreffenden Teile vergrößert dargestellt. In einer Längsbohrung 12 am vorderen Ende des Vorderschaftes 2 steckt drehbar eine Achse 11, die mit einem Trägerteil 10 einstückig ist. Ein den Vorderschaft 2 durchstoßender Querstift 13 greift in eine Quernut 14, die konkav und V-förmig ist, wie mit 14* bezeichnet. Der die Nut 14' umgebende Kreis ist in die Bildebene geklappter Querschnitt durch die Achse 11. Der Trägerteil 10 ist somit um die Achse 11 in den durch die Quernut 14 gegebenen Grenzen verschwenkbar.In Figures 3 and 4 are those relating to the bipod Parts shown enlarged. In a longitudinal bore 12 am front end of the fore-end 2 rotatably sticks an axis 11, which is in one piece with a carrier part 10. A fore-end 2 penetrating cross pin 13 engages in a transverse groove 14, which is concave and V-shaped, as denoted by 14 *. The circle surrounding the groove 14 'is folded into the image plane Cross section through the axis 11. The carrier part 10 is thus about the axis 11 in the given by the transverse groove 14 Limits can be swiveled.

    Mit 15 ist die Verbindung zwischen dem Bein 6 und dem Trägerteil 10 allgemein bezeichnet. Sie besteht, natürlich auf beiden Seiten, aus einer Vertiefung 16 im Trägerteil 10, aus einem Zapfen 17 (Figur 4). Beide haben eine gemeinsame Symmetrieachse 18. Der Zapfen 17 weist ein verdicktes Ende 19 auf, das hinter eine unterbrochene Umfangslippe 20 eingreift, die den Trägerteil 10 berührende Basisfläche 21 des Beines 6 weist eine kreisförmige Nut 23 auf, die ein Zapfen 17 umgibt und in die ein Wulst 22 eingreift, der Teil des Trägerteiles 10 ist. Mit 24 ist die Wurzel des Zapfens 17 bezeichnet, mit der dieser beispielsweise in ein beispielsweise aus Kunststoff bestehendes Bein 6 eingelassen ist. At 15 is the connection between the leg 6 and the support part 10 generally designated. It insists, of course, on both Pages, from a recess 16 in the support member 10, from a Pin 17 (Figure 4). Both have a common axis of symmetry 18. The pin 17 has a thickened end 19, that engages behind an interrupted circumferential lip 20, the base surface 21 of leg 6 contacting carrier part 10 has a circular groove 23 which surrounds a pin 17 and in which a bead 22 engages, the part of the carrier part 10 is. With 24 the root of the pin 17 is designated with of this, for example, in a plastic, for example existing leg 6 is inserted.

    Durch den nicht erkennbaren abgeschnittenen Sektor des Zapfens 17 und die unterbrochene Umfangslippe 20 wird das Bein in ausgeklappter und eingeklappter Stellung gehalten, kann jedoch in aufwärtsgeschwenkter Stellung (Figur 4) aus dem Trägerteil herausgezogen werden. Wulst 22 und Nut 23 erhöhen die Führungslänge des Beines 6 mit Zapfen 17 in Trägerteil 10 und erhöhen so die Festigkeit der Verbindung 15 wesentlich.Through the unrecognizable cut off sector of the cone 17 and the broken peripheral lip 20 becomes the leg held in the extended and collapsed position, can however in the upwardly pivoted position (Figure 4) from the Carrier part can be pulled out. Raise bead 22 and groove 23 the guide length of the leg 6 with the pin 17 in the carrier part 10 and thus significantly increase the strength of the connection 15.

    Um zu verhindern, daß das Bein 6 in einer Zwischenstellung, also weder ganz ausgeklappt noch ganz eingeklappt verbleibt, kann eine Rampe 25 vorgesehen sein, die nach ihren Enden zu abfällt. Wegen der Elastizität eines aus Kunststoff bestehenden Beines 6 ist das möglich. Aufgrund derselben Eigenschaft kann auch eine nicht dargestellte Verrastung des Beines mit Teilen des Vorderschaftes 2 vorgesehen sein, um das Bein versicherungsfest in eingeklappter Stellung zu halten.To prevent the leg 6 from being in an intermediate position, so it remains neither fully unfolded nor fully collapsed, a ramp 25 can be provided which ends according to its ends falls off. Because of the elasticity of an existing plastic This is possible in leg 6. Because of the same property can also have a not shown locking of the leg Parts of the fore-end 2 may be provided around the leg to be kept insurance-proof in the folded position.
