Definitions

  • the invention relates to a firearm, with automatic cycle or manual, with ejection of the sleeve forward or carried forward of the weapon, and comprising a carcass, a barrel mounted on this carcass and having a shooting chamber and moving parts movable towards the rear with respect to the carcass during the recoil, the moving parts comprising an extractor to drive a socket during recoil and a closure element for the fire chamber, the firearm further comprising a ejection device with an ejector in this part of closure and guide means for the socket allowing the bushing to pass when the moving parts and therefore extraction but rocking this socket during ejection.
  • the invention relates specifically to such so-called weapons “bull pup” with running moving parts integrated in the stick.
  • the means for guiding the device consist of a mounted ejection lever pivotally about an axis and comprising a guide part provided with a passage for a socket, this ejection rocker toggling between a position in which the entrance to its passage is located in the trajectory of the sleeve when going back moving parts and a top position, a pusher being provided to eject the sleeve from the passage when the ejection lever approaches its upper position, this pusher preferably being secured to one of the parts mobile.
  • the object of the invention is to avoid this drawback and ensure that the extractor releases the socket when it is tilted.
  • the weapon includes a lever mounted next to the extractor pivotally on one of the other parts movable, this lever being provided with an eccentric cam cooperating with the tilting extractor, so that when the lever is pivoted, this cam can tilt the extractor and let it go of the socket, the carcass being provided with at least one control stop located in the path of the lever when of the forward movement of the moving parts causing, during this movement, the aforementioned pivoting of the lever when the socket must be released from the extractor.
  • the lever can be pivotally mounted on the slide.
  • means are provided for handing over after the above-mentioned pivoting the lever in a position in which the cam lets return the extractor in its position before tilting.
  • the aforementioned means to put the lever back can include a return spring acting on the lever.
  • These means can also include a stop return, fixed relative to the carcass, located further before the aforementioned control stop.
  • Figures 1 to 3 show part of a shotgun gas and rotary lock comprising a carcass 1, a barrel 2 mounted on this carcass 1 and provided at the rear a shooting chamber 3 and a number of moving parts 4 which move backwards when backing up.
  • moving parts 4 are the slide 5, the latch 6 provided at the front with a closing element 7 closing the chamber 3 during the firing, the extractor 8 and the striker 9.
  • This extractor 8 pivots on the slide 5 around an axis transverse 8 ', a spring 10 acting on the end rear pushing this extractor 8 into its position shown in Figure 3.
  • This lever 12 is arranged on the slide 5, and includes a transverse axis 13 pivoting in this slide 5.
  • the cam 11 is located on one end of the axis 13.
  • This lever 12 includes an upper arm 15 and an arm lower 16 making an obtuse angle between them, these two cooperating arm, during movement of the slide 5, with stops which are on the carcass 1, that is to say from front to back, a lower return stop 17, a upper control stop 18 and a pair of control stops guidance 19 and 20.
  • Extractor 8 is of conventional construction and its front end forms a hook 21 which can engage the groove of a socket 22, of a cartridge, whether pulled or not, is found in the firing chamber 3, as shown more in detail in Figure 4.
  • the above-mentioned closing part 7 of the latch 6 has a anterior face 23 and is crossed by an opening axial 24 for striker 9.
  • an ejection device comprising an ejector, constituted by a pusher 25 to spring 26, and mounted in an opening 27 in the part 7, the spring 26 pushing the pusher 25 towards outside.
  • the ejection device includes guide means formed by a rocker ejection 28 and mounted at the rear of the chamber 3.
  • This flip-flop 28 pivots relative to the carcass 1 around a transverse axis 29 between a lower position shown in Figure 3 and a top position shown in Figure 1.
  • the ejection lever 28 includes a guide portion 30 crossed by a passage 31 for the socket 22.
  • the guide portion 30 In the upper position, the guide portion 30 is located above the path of the socket 22, this socket 22 which can pass below this part of guide 30 during recoil and therefore extraction of the socket 22.
  • the passage 31 opens onto an ejection tube 32 mounted on the carcass 1, above the canon 2.
  • a pusher 33 is mounted on the slide 5.
  • the moving parts 4 are located in their forward position and they retreat by firing.
  • the ejector 25,26 does not exert torque significant on the socket 22 which remains thus maintained in its position against the front face 23 of the element 7 during the complete recoil of the moving parts 4.
  • the cam 11 does not act on the extractor 8 which remains in its extraction position.
  • the bush 22 After the recoil, the bush 22 returns forward, always driven by extractor 8 and the other parts mobile 4 and still in its position in contact with the front face 23 above.
  • the ejection lever 28 forces the socket 22 to pivot towards up until the combined action resulting from geometries of the front of the extractor and the pusher 25 ejector, normally provides clearance from the socket 22 of extractor 8, as shown in FIG. 8.
  • the extractor 8 has been pivoted to the maximum when the lever 12 is in the position shown in Figure 8, ensuring that the aforementioned clearance of the socket 22 is guaranteed and complete.
  • the socket 22 is guided by the rocker ejection 28 that currently the moving parts 4 go push back into its upper position, after which the socket 22 is pushed forward outside the passage 31 and into the ejection tube 32 by the pusher 33 which is driven by moving parts 4.
  • the pivoting due to the effect of the stopper control 18 is relatively large, and, on the other hand, the lever 12 can get stuck since it still pivots a little after the maximum pivoting of the extractor.
  • the return stop 17 serves to ensure the return of the lever 12 at a position in which the cam 11 no longer retains the extractor 8 in the pivoted position.
  • the return stop 17 thus forces the lever 12 return to its starting position shown in Figure 4 in which the cam 11 no longer exerts pressure on extractor 8 after which the cycle described above can restart.
  • the lever 12 results in the extractor 8 loosening one absolutely safe socket 22 at the moment it must be effectively ejected.
  • canon 2 does not necessarily have to be fixed relative to the carcass 1.
  • the invention is by example applicable to a mobile gun type firearm.
  • the weapon does not necessarily have to have the stops guide 19 and 20 and even the return stop 17 could possibly be omitted in the event that the spring of reminder 14 can return lever 12 to its position starting at the end of the moving parts forward 4.
