Abstract

Die Magazin-Arretierung umfasst ein Gehäuse (1) mit einer Magazinöffnung (2) und einem Abzugbügel (3). Im Gehäuse (1) ist ein doppelarmiger, federbelasteter Arretierhebel (7) schwenkbar gelagert. Dessen erster Arm (10) steht innerhalb des Abzugbügels (3) zur Betätigung vor. Der zweite Arm (12) des Hebels (7) greift in eine Öffnung (6) des Magazins (4). Am ersten Arm (10) ist ein Schieber (24) angelenkt, der die Magazinöffnung (2) umgreift. Der Schieber (24) hat auf der gegenüberliegenden zweiten Seite des Magazins (4) einen Stift (28), der in eine zweite Ausnehmung (5) auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite des Magazins (4) eingreift. Dadurch wird eine sichere Arretierung des Magazins bei geringer Bauhöhe erreicht.

Figure 00000001
The magazine lock comprises a housing (1) with a magazine opening (2) and a trigger guard (3). A double-armed, spring-loaded locking lever (7) is pivotably mounted in the housing (1). Its first arm (10) protrudes inside the trigger guard (3) for actuation. The second arm (12) of the lever (7) engages in an opening (6) of the magazine (4). A slide (24) is articulated on the first arm (10) and engages around the magazine opening (2). The slide (24) has a pin (28) on the opposite second side of the magazine (4) which engages in a second recess (5) on the opposite side of the magazine (4). This ensures that the magazine is locked securely with a low overall height.

Description

Magazin-Arretierungen sind gewöhnlich einseitig in einem Gehäuse mit einer Magazinöffnung angebracht.Magazine locks are usually one-sided in a housing attached with a magazine opening.

Aus dem US-Patent Nr. 2 632 272 ist eine Magazin-Arretierung an einem Gewehr bekannt. Das Magazin hat auf der Vorderseite einen Nocken, der in eine entsprechende Ausnehmung im Magazinschacht eingesetzt wird. Anschliessend wird das Magazin gegen hinten verschwenkt. Der hintere Rand des Magazins hat einen Vorsprung, der beim Einschwenken des Magazins einen Rasthebel eindrückt und nach dem Einsetzen hinter diesem einschnappt. Im Magazinschacht ist auf der Nockenseite eine zusätzliche Sicherung vorgesehen, die verhindern soll, dass das Magazin eingeschoben werden kann, wenn die Waffe nicht betriebsbereit ist.A magazine lock is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 2,632,272 known to a rifle. The magazine has one on the front Cam that is in a corresponding recess in the magazine shaft is used. Then the magazine is towards the back panned. The rear edge of the magazine has a projection who presses a locking lever when swinging the magazine in and snaps behind this after insertion. In the magazine shaft an additional fuse is provided on the cam side, to prevent the magazine from being pushed in, if the weapon is not ready for use.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine sichere Magazin-Arretierung auch für relativ kurz geführte Magazine zu erreichen. Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmalskombination des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.The present invention has for its object a safe Magazine lock also for relatively short magazines to reach. This task is accomplished through the combination of features of claim 1 solved.

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

An exemplary embodiment of the invention is explained below with reference to the drawing. It shows:
Figure 1

Die dargestellte Magazin-Arretierung umfasst ein Gehäuse 1 mit einer Magazinöffnung 2 und einem Abzugbügel 3, in welchen im montierten Zustand eine Abzugzunge ragt. In die Magazinöffnung 2 ist ein Magazin 4 eingeschoben. Das Magazin 4 hat an der Vorderwand und an der Rückwand je eine rechteckige Ausnehmung 5, 6. Der Magazinboden 4a überragt die Magazinöffnung 2. Am vorderen Schenkel des Abzugbügels 3 ist ein zweiarmiger Arretierhebel 7 auf einem Zylinderstift 8 schwenkbar gelagert. Der Zylinderstift 8 ist in eine Bohrung 9 des Gehäuses 1 eingepresst. Der erste Arm 10 des Arretierhebels 7 steht innerhalb des Abzugbügels 3 vor und hat eine gerippte Grifffläche 11 zur Betätigung mit dem Daumen. Der zweite Arm 12 des Arretierhebels 7 hat eine Anschlagfläche 13, welche bei nicht eingesetztem Magazin 4 an einer Schulter 14 des Gehäuses 1 anschlägt. Am freien Ende hat der nach schräg oben abstehende zweite Arm 12 eine Rastkerbe 15, die in der Ausnehmung 6 einrastet. Der erste Arm 10 ist durch eine vorgespannte Druckfeder 16 belastet, welche am Gehäuse 1 abgestützt ist. Der Arretierhebel 7 ist in einer Nut 17 des Gehäuses 1 geführt.The magazine lock shown comprises a housing 1 with a magazine opening 2 and a trigger guard 3, in which in assembled state a trigger tongue protrudes. In the magazine opening 2 a magazine 4 is inserted. The magazine 4 has on the front wall and a rectangular recess 5, 6 on the rear wall. The magazine bottom 4a projects above the magazine opening 2. At the front Leg of trigger guard 3 is a two-armed locking lever 7 pivotally mounted on a cylindrical pin 8. The cylinder pin 8 is pressed into a bore 9 of the housing 1. Of the first arm 10 of the locking lever 7 stands within the trigger guard 3 in front and has a ribbed grip surface 11 for actuation with the thumb. The second arm 12 of the locking lever 7 has one Stop surface 13, which when the magazine 4 is not inserted strikes a shoulder 14 of the housing 1. Has at the free end the second arm 12 projecting obliquely upwards has a notch 15, which snaps into the recess 6. The first arm 10 is through a preloaded compression spring 16 loaded on the housing 1 is supported. The locking lever 7 is in a groove 17 of the housing 1 led.

Am ersten Arm 10 ist beabstandet vom Zylinderstift 8 ein zweiter Zylinderstift 21 eingesetzt. Die beiden Seitenwände 22 der Magazinöffnung 2 haben je eine Längsnut 23. In diesen Längsnuten 23 ist ein U-förmiger Schieber 24 eingesetzt und geführt. Der Schieber 24 hat an den freien Enden seiner Schenkel 25 zwei sich quer zu dessen Längserstreckung erstreckende Langlöcher 26. Der Zylinderstift 21 durchgreift diese Langlöcher 26, so dass beim Drücken des Arms 10 des Arretierhebels 7 der Schieber 24 nach vorn bewegt wird. In einen Steg 27 des Schiebers 24 ist ein zylindrischer Stift 28 eingenietet. Der Stift 28 ist in einer Bohrung 29 des Gehäuses 1 geführt und hat oben eine Abflachung 30, welche in den oberen Rand der Ausnehmung 5 einrastet. Das freie Ende des Stiftes 28 ist konisch angeschrägt, damit der Stift 28 beim Einschieben des Magazins 4 eingedrückt wird. Alternativ könnte am unteren Rand des Stiftes 28 auch eine Keilfläche geschliffen sein. On the first arm 10 there is a second one at a distance from the cylinder pin 8 Dowel pin 21 inserted. The two side walls 22 of the magazine opening 2 each have a longitudinal groove 23. In these longitudinal grooves 23 a U-shaped slide 24 is inserted and guided. Of the Slider 24 has two at the free ends of its legs 25 oblong holes extending transversely to its longitudinal extension 26. Der Cylinder pin 21 passes through these elongated holes 26, so that when Press the arm 10 of the locking lever 7 of the slide 24 after is moved in front. In a web 27 of the slide 24 is a cylindrical Pin 28 riveted. The pin 28 is in a bore 29 of the housing 1 and has a flattened surface 30, which snaps into the upper edge of the recess 5. The free The end of the pin 28 is bevelled so that the pin 28 is pushed in when inserting the magazine 4. Alternatively a wedge surface could also be ground at the lower edge of the pin 28 be.

Die beschriebene Magazin-Arretierung arretiert das Magazin 4 auf zwei gegenüberliegenden Schmalseiten gleichzeitig und erfordert deshalb bloss eine sehr kurze Führung in der Magazinöffnung 2. Sie hat daher eine niedrige Bauhöhe und eignet sich auch für sehr kurze Magazine 4 für bloss wenige Patronen. Sie ist sehr einfach und ergonomisch zu bedienen.The magazine lock described locks the magazine 4 on two opposite narrow sides at the same time and requires therefore just a very short guide in the magazine opening 2. It therefore has a low overall height and is also suitable for very short magazines 4 for just a few cartridges. it is very easy and ergonomic to use.
