Description

Abdeckkappe für eine Aufnahme- schiene einer Handfeuerwaffe Cover cap for a handgun mounting rail
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Abdeckkappe für eine schwalbenschwanzförmige Aufnahmeschiene einer Handfeuerwaffe, wobei die Abdeckkappe auf der einen ihrer beiden., einander gegenüberliegenden Oberflächen beiderseits mit je ei- ner länglichen Eingriffsschiene versehen ist (Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1) .The invention relates to a cover cap for a dovetail-shaped mounting rail of a handgun, the cover cap being provided on one of its two opposing surfaces on both sides with an elongated engagement rail (preamble of claim 1).
Handfeuerwaffen, auch Faustfeuerwaffen, werden heutzutage mit einer oder mehreren Aufnahmeschienen mit Schwalbenschwanz-Querschnitt ausgestattet, auf denen ein Zielfernrohr, Laser-Zielgerät, Scheinwerfer, Nachtzielgerät oder dergleichen angebracht werden kann. Viele dieser Einrichtungen müssen nach der Anbringung und jeder erneuten An- bringung wieder justiert werden.Handguns, including handguns, are nowadays equipped with one or more mounting rails with a dovetail cross-section, on which a telescopic sight, laser aiming device, spotlight, night aiming device or the like can be attached. Many of these devices must be readjusted after they have been installed and each time they are installed again.
Bisweilen bleiben aber Aufnahmeschienen und hintere Teile von diesen, die auch Quernuten aufweisen können, unbedeckt und können den Schützen bei der Handhabung der af- fe stören.Occasionally, however, the mounting rails and rear parts of these, which can also have transverse grooves, remain uncovered and can interfere with the shooter when handling the affe.
Um diese Probleme zu vermeiden, schiebt man auf die entsprechenden Aufnahmeschienen von vorne her Abdeckungen oder Abdeckkappen auf, die mittels Federeinrichtungen verrastet werden und dann die nicht genutzten Aufnahme- schienen oder deren hintere Teile abdecken. Diese Abdeckkappen sind als flache Deckel ausgebildet, auf deren einer Oberfläche beidseitig je eine Eingriffsschiene ausgebildet ist. Mit diesen Eingriffsschienen kann die Abdeck- kappe unter die Ränder der Schwalbenschwanzausbildung einer Aufnahmeschiene geschoben werden. Durch eine solche Abdeckkappe gelingt es tatsächlich, die auftretenden Handhabungsprobleme auszuräumen. Nachteilig ist allerdings, daß eine Einrichtung, die am vorderen Teil einer Aufnahmeschiene angebracht ist, abgenommen werden muß, bevor die Abdeckkappe für den hinteren Teil der Aufnahmeschiene aufgeschoben werden kann.In order to avoid these problems, covers or cover caps are pushed onto the corresponding mounting rails from the front, which are locked by spring devices and then cover the unused mounting rails or their rear parts. These cover caps are designed as flat covers, on one surface of which an engagement rail is formed on both sides. With these engagement rails, the cover cap can be pushed under the edges of the dovetail formation of a mounting rail. Such a cover cap actually succeeds in eliminating the handling problems that arise. However, it is disadvantageous that a device which is attached to the front part of a mounting rail must be removed before the cover cap for the rear part of the mounting rail can be pushed on.
Unter "vorne" hier wird hier die in Schußrichtung weisende Richtung verstanden. Bei Aufnähmeschienen, deren zum Aufschieben einer Einrichtung eingerichtetes Ende nach hinten weist, gelten umgekehrte Verhältnisse, da die Abdeckungen von hinten her aufgeschoben werden müssen. Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf beide Arten von Aufnahmeschienen."Front" here means the direction pointing in the weft direction. In the case of mounting rails, the end of which has been set up to slide on a device, the opposite applies, since the covers have to be pushed on from behind. The invention relates to both types of mounting rails.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die bekannte Abdeckung so weiterzubilden, daß sie vereinfacht wird und zudem der oben genannte Nachteil ausgeräumt wird.The object of the invention is to develop the known cover so that it is simplified and also the above-mentioned disadvantage is eliminated.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, daß die Abdeckkappe federnd verformbar ist, und daß sich die beiden Eingriffsschienen in unbelastetem Zustand aneinander annähern (Anspruch 1) . Die Abdeckkappe muß also nicht, wie bisher, von vorne (oder hinten) her auf die Aufnahmeschiene aufgescho-ben werden, sondern kann quer zu dieser auf diese einfach aufgeklipst bzw. aufgerastet werden.To achieve this object, it is proposed according to the invention that the cover cap is resiliently deformable and that the two engagement rails approach one another in the unloaded state (claim 1). The cover cap does not have to be slid onto the mounting rail from the front (or rear) as before, but can simply be clipped or snapped onto it.
Aus dem deutschen Patent DE 299 535 ist zwar bereits eine Visier-Abdeckkappe aus Blech bekannt, die beiderseits in zwei Längsnuten des Visiers eingerastet wird. Diese Abdeckkappe sitzt aber nicht unter Spannung fest auf dem Visier, sondern muß sich durch Hochklappen des Visierträgers leicht entfernen lassen. Als Abdeckung für eine Auf- nahmeschiene ist diese Abdeckkappe daher allenfalls schlecht geeignet. Auch aus dem deutschen Gebrauchsmuster DE 90 02 289.4 Ul ist eine Abdeckung bekannt, die über Zielfernrohr, Verschluß und Abzug gestülpt werden kann und mittels Klettstreifen zusammengehalten wird. Diese Abdeckung ist für eine Aufnähmeschiene ganz und gar nicht geeignet .A visor cover cap made of sheet metal is already known from German patent DE 299 535, which is latched on both sides in two longitudinal grooves of the visor. However, this cover cap does not sit firmly on the visor under tension, but must be easy to remove by folding up the visor carrier. This cover cap is therefore poorly suited as a cover for a mounting rail. A cover is also known from German utility model DE 90 02 289.4 Ul, which can be put over the telescopic sight, breech and trigger and is held together by means of Velcro strips. This cover is not at all suitable for a mounting rail.
Wird eine solche Abdeckkappe bei einer Aufnahmeschiene verwendet, auf deren vorderem Teil eine Zieleinrichtung o. dgl . befestigt ist, dann muß diese nicht abgenommen werden, sondern die Abdeckkappe kann auf den freien Teil der Aufnahmeschiene einfach aufgedrückt werden und sitzt dort danach zuverlässig fest.If such a cover cap is used in a receiving rail, on the front part of which a target device or the like. is attached, then it does not have to be removed, but the cover cap can simply be pressed onto the free part of the mounting rail and then sits securely there.
Durch kräftiges Auswärtsbiegen einer Eingriffsschiene kann die Abdeckkappe wieder von der Aufnahmeschiene gelöst werden. Die Abdeckkappe kann dann abgenommen werden, ohne daß man ein auf der Aufnahmeschiene sitzendes Gerät abnehmen muß.The cover cap can be detached from the receiving rail again by vigorously bending an engagement rail outwards. The cap can then be removed without having to remove a device sitting on the mounting rail.
Eine bevorzugte Weiterbildung der Erfindung besteht darin, daß auf der die Eingriffsschienen tragenden Oberfläche ein Haitevorsprung ausgebildet ist (Anspruch 2) . Der Haitevorsprung ist dabei zum Eingriff in eine Gegenausbildung in oder an der Aufnahmeschiene eingerichtet. Beim Aufrasten der Abdeckkappe auf die Aufnahmeschiene gelangt der Haltevorsprung in Eingriff mit der Gegenausbildung und verhindert so, daß die Abdeckkappe in Längsrichtung von der Aufnahmeschiene verrutschen kann, wenn an deren Ende nicht eine Zieleinrichtung o. dgl. angebracht ist.A preferred development of the invention consists in that a shark projection is formed on the surface carrying the engagement rails (claim 2). The shark protrusion is designed to engage in a counter-training in or on the mounting rail. When the cover cap snaps onto the mounting rail, the retaining projection engages with the counter-formation and thus prevents the cover cap from sliding in the longitudinal direction from the mounting rail unless a target device or the like is attached to its end.
Diese letztgenannte Weiterbildung wird dadurch noch verfeinert, daß der Haltevorsprung als eine Ausstülpung eines Eingriffsvorsprungs ausgebildet ist (Anspruch 3) . Diese Weiterbildung ist für Aufnahmeschienen eingerich- tet, die Quernuten zum Befestigen von Geräten aufweist. Dies ist heutzutage die überwiegende Ausbildung von Aufnahmeschienen. Die Abdeckkappe kann eine einfache, vierkantige Oberfläche aufweisen. Bevorzugt ist jedoch, daß ihre Ecken abgerundet sind (Anspruch 4) . So wird die Gefahr verringert, daß der Schütze etwa mit dem Ärmel an der Abdeckkappe hängenbleibt und sie von der Aufnahmeschiene herunterreißt .This latter development is further refined in that the holding projection is designed as a protuberance of an engagement projection (claim 3). This further development is set up for mounting rails which have transverse grooves for fastening devices. Nowadays this is the predominant formation of mounting rails. The cover cap can have a simple, square surface. However, it is preferred that their corners are rounded (claim 4). This reduces the risk of the shooter sticking to the cover cap with his sleeve and tearing it off the mounting rail.
Es ist bevorzugt, daß die Abdeckkappe einstückig aus Kunststoff gebildet ist (Anspruch 5) . Diese Kunststoffkappe kann wirtschaftlich und einfach hergestellt werden, ist leicht, oxidiert nicht und beschädigt die Schienenoberfläche nicht. Außerdem hat sie den Vorteil, daß sie notfalls auf einfache Weise gekürzt werden kann. Hierzu können sogar Markierungen ausgebildet sein, die dann bei aufgesetzter Abdeckkappe nicht sichtbar sind.It is preferred that the cover cap is formed in one piece from plastic (claim 5). This plastic cap can be produced economically and simply, is light, does not oxidize and does not damage the rail surface. It also has the advantage that it can be easily shortened if necessary. For this purpose, markings can even be formed, which are then not visible when the cover cap is attached.
Die Abdeckkappen der Erfindung können in unterschiedlichen Längen in Anpassung an Geräte hergestellt werden, die auf Aufnahmeschienen montiert werden können. Es können aber auch gekürzte Einheits-Abdeckkappen hergestellt werden, die dann, in der nötigen Anzahl hintereinander- liegend, auf die abzudeckenden Abschnitte der Aufnahme- schienen auf erastet werden können.The cover caps of the invention can be made in different lengths to accommodate equipment that can be mounted on mounting rails. However, shortened unit cover caps can also be produced, which can then be snapped onto the sections of the mounting rails to be covered in the required number one after the other.
Die Eingriffsschienen brauchen nicht durchgehend zu sein; es reicht aus, wenn einzelne Vorsprünge anstelle einer durchgehenden Schiene vorgesehen sind, die den sicheren Sitz der Abdeckkappe auf der Aufnahmeschiene gewährlei- sten.The engagement rails need not be continuous; it is sufficient if individual projections are provided instead of a continuous rail, which ensure that the cover cap sits securely on the mounting rail.
Der Gegenstand der Erfindung wird anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels und der beigefügten, schematischen Zeichnung noch näher erläutert, deren einzige Figur einen ver- großerten Querschnitt durch eine erfindungsgemäße Abdeckkappe aus Kunststoff zeigt . Die Abdeckkappe besteht aus einer Platte 1, die in unbelastetem Zustand leicht gewölbt ist. Die Symmetrieachse 7 der Wölbung steht auf der Zeichnungsebene senkrecht .The object of the invention is explained in more detail with reference to an exemplary embodiment and the attached schematic drawing, the only figure of which shows an enlarged cross section through a plastic cover cap according to the invention. The cover cap consists of a plate 1 which is slightly curved in the unloaded state. The axis of symmetry 7 of the curvature is perpendicular to the plane of the drawing.
Die eine Oberfläche der Platte weist längsverlaufende, zueinander parallele Eingriffsschienen 3 auf, die mit gleichem Abstand beiderseits der Symmetrieachse 7 angeordnet sind.One surface of the plate has longitudinal, mutually parallel engagement rails 3, which are arranged at the same distance on both sides of the axis of symmetry 7.
Die Eingriffsschienen 3 weisen an ihrem freien Ende, mit Abstand von der Platte 1, je eine vorspringende Leiste 5 auf. Die vorspringenden Leisten 5 beider Eingriffsschienen 3 sind einander zugewandt. Sie sind so angeordnet und ausgebildet, daß sie jeweils eine Seitenkante einer (nicht dargestellten) Aufnahmeschiene mit Schwalbenschwanzquerschnitt hintergreifen können, die an der Waffe (nicht dargestellt) angebracht ist.The engagement rails 3 each have a projecting ledge 5 at their free end, at a distance from the plate 1. The projecting strips 5 of both engagement rails 3 face each other. They are arranged and designed so that they can engage behind a side edge of a (not shown) mounting rail with a dovetail cross section, which is attached to the weapon (not shown).
An eine der Eingriffsschienen 3 angrenzend ist ein Vor- sprung 9 ausgebildet, dessen Länge der Breite einer Quernut in der Aufnahmeschiene entspricht.A projection 9 is formed adjacent to one of the engagement rails 3, the length of which corresponds to the width of a transverse groove in the receiving rail.
Die Anbringung der Abdeckkappe der Erfindung an einer Aufnahmeschiene einer Waffe erfolgt in der folgenden Wei- se :The cover cap of the invention is attached to a mounting rail of a weapon in the following manner:
Zunächst wird die eine der beiden Eingriffsschienen 3 seitlich über die Seitenkante einer Aufnahmeschiene gehakt. Zweckmäßigerweise wählt man dazu die Eingriffschie- ne 3 , die den Vorsprung 9 trägt, und dieser Vorsprung 9 wird in eine Quernut der Aufnähmeschiene eingeführt . Nun hintergreift die vorspringende Leiste 5 über ihre gesamte Länge die vorspringende Seitenkante der Aufnähmeschiene .First, one of the two engagement rails 3 is hooked laterally over the side edge of a receiving rail. For this purpose, the engagement rail 3, which carries the projection 9, is expediently chosen, and this projection 9 is inserted into a transverse groove in the receiving rail. The projecting bar 5 now engages behind the projecting side edge of the receiving rail over its entire length.
Sodann wird die Abdeckkappe um ihre Symmetrieachse 7 über die ebene Ausbildung der Platte 1 hinaus in Richtung der Pfeile so verbogen, daß sie eine Wölbung erhält, die der in der Zeichnung gezeigten Wölbung entgegengesetzt ist.Then the cap is bent about its axis of symmetry 7 over the flat design of the plate 1 in the direction of the arrows so that it receives a curvature that the the curvature shown in the drawing is opposite.
Hierdurch wird der Abstand zwischen den vorspringenden Leisten 5 soweit vergrößert, daß er den Abstand zwischen den Seitenkanten der Aufnahmeschiene ein wenig über- steigt. Daraufhin kann die Abdeckkappe auch mit der zweiten, vorspringenden Leiste 3 über deren zugehörige Seitenkante der Aufnahmeschiene gebracht werden.As a result, the distance between the projecting strips 5 is increased to such an extent that it slightly exceeds the distance between the side edges of the receiving rail. The cover cap can then also be brought with the second, projecting strip 3 over the associated side edge of the receiving rail.
Gibt man nun die Abdeckplatte 1 frei, dann biegt sie sich ein wenig entgegen der Pfeilrichtung zurück, bis beide vorspringenden Leisten 5 die beiden Seitenkanten der Aufnahmeschiene satt hintergreifen und dabei die Platte 1 gegen die Oberfläche der Aufnahmeschiene heranziehen.If you now release the cover plate 1, it bends back a little against the direction of the arrow until both protruding strips 5 grip the two side edges of the mounting rail and pull the plate 1 against the surface of the mounting rail.
Die Platte 1 hat dabei eine insgesamt ebene Anordnung und preßt die Eingriffschienen 3 mit ihren vorspringenden Leisten 5 seitlich gegen und hinter die Seitenkanten der Aufnähmeschiene. Da die Platte 1 ihre Federfähigkeit bewahrt, trachtet sie danach, ihren Anpreßdruck stets auf- recht zu erhalten. Der Vorsprung 9 greift dabei in eine Quernut der Aufnahmeschiene ein und verhindert, daß die Abdeckkappe in deren Längsrichtung verrutschen kann.The plate 1 has an overall flat arrangement and presses the engagement rails 3 with their projecting strips 5 laterally against and behind the side edges of the receiving rail. Since the plate 1 retains its resilience, it strives to always maintain its contact pressure. The projection 9 engages in a transverse groove of the receiving rail and prevents the cover cap from slipping in its longitudinal direction.
Infolge der ständigen Spannung sitzt die Abdeckkappe auf der Aufnahmeschiene fest, ohne zu wackeln oder zu klappern.Due to the constant tension, the cover cap sits firmly on the mounting rail without wobbling or rattling.
Die Abnahme der Abdeckkappe erfolgt in umgekehrter Reihenfolge der voranstehend beschriebenen Vorgänge, indem die Platte 1 zunächst in Pfeilrichtung verbogen wird und dann einfach abgenommen werden kann.The cover cap is removed in the reverse order of the processes described above, by first bending the plate 1 in the direction of the arrow and then simply removing it.
Die von den Eingriffsschienen 3 abgewandte Oberfläche der Platte 1 kann Rippen und sonstige Ausbildungen aufweisen, die ihre Steifigkeit erhöhen, aber das federnde Verbiegen in Pfeilrichtung nicht behindern. Die Abdeckkappe der Zeichnung besteht aus nicht zu hartem, bleibend federfähigem Kunststoff, der die Aufnahmeschiene nicht verkratzt oder beschädigt, sondern vor Beschädigungen schützt.The surface of the plate 1 facing away from the engagement rails 3 can have ribs and other configurations which increase their rigidity but do not hinder the resilient bending in the direction of the arrow. The cover cap of the drawing is made of not too hard, permanently resilient plastic, which does not scratch or damage the mounting rail, but protects it from damage.
Die in der Zeichnung gezeigte Ausbildung ist nur ein Beispiel . Andere Ausbildungen im Rahmen der Erfindung sind ebenfalls möglich. So kann z. B. die Platte 1 seitlich um den über die Eingriffsleisten 3 hinausgehenden Teil ver- kürzt werden. The training shown in the drawing is only an example. Other designs within the scope of the invention are also possible. So z. B. the plate 1 can be shortened laterally by the part going beyond the engagement strips 3.
