Description

Pistolen haben einen Pistolengriff mit einem Schacht, in welchem das Magazin von unten eingeschoben ist. Im oberen Bereich des Griffstücks ist ein Magazinhalter quer verschiebbar und durch eine Feder in eine Sperrstellung vorbelastet, in welcher eine Nase des Magazinhalters in eine entsprechende Ausnehmung der Magazinwand eingerastet ist. Zum Entfernen des Magazins wird die Grifffläche des Magazinhalters eingedrückt, so dass die Nase aus der Ausnehmung ausrastet.Pistols have a pistol grip with a shaft in which the magazine is inserted from below. In the upper part of the The handle is a magazine holder that can be moved across and through a spring biased into a locked position in which a Nose of the magazine holder in a corresponding recess in the magazine wall is engaged. To remove the magazine, the Grip surface of the magazine holder pressed in, so that the nose out the recess disengages.

Derartige Magazinhalter sind z.B. aus der EP-A-364 408 und der DE-A-28 45 121 bekannt. Diese bekannten Magazinhalter sind im Bereich des Übergangs des Abzugbügels in das Griffstück angeordnet. Beide Lösungen erfordern relativ grosse Breiten gemessen in Längsrichtung der Pistole, zum einen wegen der erforderlichen Drehsicherheit, zum andern konstruktionsbedingt.Such magazine holders are e.g. from EP-A-364 408 and DE-A-28 45 121 known. These known magazine holders are in Area of the transition of the trigger guard arranged in the handle. Both solutions require relatively large widths measured in Longitudinal direction of the gun, on the one hand because of the required Security against rotation, on the other hand, due to construction.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Form des Magazinhalters zu optimieren. Diese Aufgabe wird durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.The present invention has for its object the form to optimize the magazine holder. This task is accomplished by the characterizing features of claim 1 solved.

Durch die Dreieckform des Magazinhalters wird eine sehr gute Verdrehsicherheit bei kleiner Querschnittsfläche erreicht. Weil die eine Fläche des Magazinhalters annähernd parallel zur Längserstreckung des Magazins, die gegenüberliegende abgerundete Kante nach vorn gerichtet und der Magazinhalter in den Übergang vom Abzugbügel zum Griffstück integriert ist, kann der Magazinhalter weiter nach vorn verlegt werden als bei herkömmlichen Pistolen. Dadurch kann auch der Magazinschacht relativ zur Abzugzunge vorverlegt werden. Damit kann das sehr wichtige Griffmass vom hinteren Griffende zur Abzugzunge verkleinert werden.The triangular shape of the magazine holder is a very good one Security against rotation achieved with a small cross-sectional area. Because the one surface of the magazine holder approximately parallel to the longitudinal extent of the magazine, the opposite rounded edge facing forward and the magazine holder in the transition from Trigger holder is integrated into the handle, the magazine holder be moved further forward than with conventional pistols. As a result, the magazine shaft can also be advanced relative to the trigger tongue become. This allows the very important grip size from the rear Handle end to be reduced to the trigger tongue.

Nachfolgend wird ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung anhand der Zeichnungen erläutert. Darin zeigt:

An exemplary embodiment of the invention is explained below with reference to the drawings. It shows:
Figure 1
A side view of part of a gun,
Figure 2
a section along the line II-II in Figure 3, and
Figure 3
a rear view of the magazine holder.

Die Pistole 1 hat ein Griffstück 2 mit einem einstückig daran angeformten Abzugbügel 3 als Schutz für die Abzugzunge 4. Im Griffkörper 2 erstreckt sich in Längsrichtung ein Magazinschacht 5, in welchem ein Magazin 6 eingesteckt ist. Im Übergang zum Griffstück 2 ist der Abzugbügel 3 deltaförmig verbreitert. In dieser Verbreiterung 7 erstreckt sich quer eine annähernd dreieckförmige, prismatisch-zylindrische Öffnung 8 mit abgerundeten Kanten. In dieser Öffnung 8 ist ein Magazinhalter 9 längsverschiebbar. Der Halter 9 hat eine die Seitenfläche 10 des Griffstücks 2 und des Abzugbügels 3 überragende Grifffläche 11 mit Griffnoppen 12. In der Seitenansicht hat die Grifffläche 11 ebenfalls die Form eines gleichseitigen Dreiecks mit abgerundeten Ecken. Die eine Seite 13 dieses Dreiecks ist annähernd parallel zur Längserstreckung des Griffstücks 2 und des Schachtes 5. Die gegenüberliegende abgerundete Ecke 14 ist nach vorn gerichtet.The gun 1 has a handle 2 with an integral part of it molded trigger guard 3 as protection for the trigger tongue 4. In Handle body 2 extends in the longitudinal direction of a magazine shaft 5, in which a magazine 6 is inserted. In the transition for the handle 2, the trigger guard 3 is widened delta-shaped. In this widening 7 an approximately extends transversely triangular, prismatic-cylindrical opening 8 with rounded Edge. A magazine holder 9 is longitudinally displaceable in this opening 8. The holder 9 has a side surface 10 of the Grip piece 2 and the trigger guard 3 projecting grip surface 11th with knobs 12. In the side view, the grip surface has 11 also the shape of an equilateral triangle with rounded Corners. One side 13 of this triangle is approximately parallel for the longitudinal extension of the handle 2 and the shaft 5. The opposite rounded corner 14 is forward directed.

Durch diese Formgebung wird eine optimale Ausnützung des Raumes am Übergang von Abzugbügel 3 zu Griffstück 2 erreicht. Der Halter 9 ist gegen Verdrehen gesichert. Der Magazinschacht 5 kann weiter nach vorn verlegt werden als bei bisher üblichen Magazinhaltern, welche sich nicht so günstig in die Abzugbügelform integrieren lassen.This design ensures optimal use of the space reached at the transition from trigger guard 3 to handle 2. The keeper 9 is secured against twisting. The magazine slot 5 can to be moved further forward than with magazine holders that were previously used, which do not integrate so cheaply into the trigger guard shape to let.

Der Halter besteht aus einem Halterkörper 20 und einem auf der seiner Grifffläche gegenüberliegenden Seite aufgesteckten Halteglied 21, welches in der Grundstellung gegen eine Anschlagleiste 22 des Griffstücks 2 anliegt. Das Halteglied 21 ist in einer Schwalbenschwanzführung 23 geführt. Es hat eine einstückig angeformte, federnde Zunge 24 mit einer Rastnase 25, welche in einer Schulter 26 des Körpers 20 eingeschnappt ist. Der Körper 20 ist durch eine Feder 27 in die Grundstellung vorbelastet. Die Feder 27 stützt sich an der Leiste 22 ab. In der Grundstellung greift eine Nase 28 des Körpers 20 in eine Ausnehmung 29 der einen Magazinwand. Wird der Halter 9 eingedrückt, so wird das Magazin 6 freigegeben.The holder consists of a holder body 20 and one on the holding member attached to its gripping surface 21, which in the basic position against a stop bar 22 of the handle 2 rests. The holding member 21 is in one Dovetail guide 23 out. It has a one-piece, resilient tongue 24 with a latch 25, which in a Shoulder 26 of the body 20 is snapped.
