Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for mechanical remote action of tactical flashlights for rifles and handguns, being of use for its adaptation to all manner of rifles and handguns, with the aim of facilitating the actuation of the flashlight without modifying the position of manually holding the gun.
  • the adaptation of the flashlight to the gun is carried out quickly and simply, this being of greater importance in its adaptation to handguns.
  • This specification describes a device for mechanical remote action of tactical flashlights for rifles and handguns, being of application in all manner of rifles and handguns, with a minimum modification to the flashlight.
  • Tactical use flashlights have a rear switch system which is difficult or impossible to use when they are built-in to a gun, and which are actuated by pressing on it. In this way, the positioning of the hands is necessarily different and depends not on the functioning of the flashlight but instead on that of the gun. This leads manufacturers to various types of solutions aimed at facilitating the actuation of the flashlight from a point other than the push-button for the tactical switch.
  • the aim Is to try to facilitate the actuation of the flashlight maintaining its normal securing, in such a way that the grip is held with one hand which is used for firing and with the other hand the desired point is held and the flashlight is actuated.
  • the gun is provided with a male guide with some transverse recesses for securing a bushing which holds the corresponding tactical flashlight and is located at the point desired by the user for its securing and actuation of the flashlight.
  • the present specification describes a device for mechanical remote action of tactical flashlights for rifles and handguns, being of use for its adaptation to all manner of rifles and handguns and whose adaptation is carried out by means of a bushing or body which is fixed to the gun, in such a way that the device comprises a bushing provided with an axial flange which holds a rotating lever for actuating a switch for a tactical flashlight housed in said bushing via its rear cover,
  • the rotating lever In the housing of the cover for the tactical flashlight in the bushing, the rotating lever is located in proximity to the switch via one of its arms and the other arm of that rotating lever is located in proximity to the hand for holding the gun and actuating the flashlight.
  • the bushing is provided with a female guide for adjustment and fitting in a male guide in a gun, this female guide, with a general U-shape, being defined by the union of a piece that is fixed by a screw.
  • the actual rear cover of the tactical flashlight is provided with a transverse shaft which holds a rotating lever for actuation of the switch for the flashlight, with a female guide body for securing to the male guide of a gun being able to be coupled to the cover of the tactical flashlight.
  • the female guide body incorporates a piece for adjustment and fastening by means of a screw, the two together defining a general U-shape for their union to the male guide of the gun and the guide body being fixed to the cover of the flashlight via a pair of screws,
  • the tactical flashlight can be coupled to the gun via a bushing that incorporates a rotating lever for actuation of the switch for the flashlight and a female guide for mounting on the gun, or it can be the cover itself of the tactical flashlight which incorporates the rotating lever for actuation of the switch for the flashlight and coupling to the gun via a guide body for its mounting on the gun.
  • the bushing can be provided with a recess in which is defined a central projection. with a hole having been made in the projection into which fits a first end of the element for actuation on the switch, in such a way that. via its said first end, the element is extended in a trigger for backing onto the switch and continues according to an angle-piece in order to finish with its opposite end on the bushing.
  • the tactical flashlight 1 is housed in a bushing 2, with respect to its rear cover 3, the bushing 2 being provided with an axial flange 4 which holds a rotating lever 5 for actuation of the switch 6 for the tactical flashlight 1.
  • the rotating lever 5 In the housing of the cover 3 for the tactical flashlight 1 in the bushing 2, the rotating lever 5 is located in proximity to the switch 6 via one of its arms and the other arm of that rotating lever 5 is located in proximity to the hand for holding the gun and actuating the flashlight, in an ergonomic manner for its actuation.
  • the bushing 2 includes a female guide 7, with a general U-shape, for adjustment and fitting in a male guide of a gun, this female guide 7 being defined with the collaboration of a piece 8 which is fixed to the bushing by means of a screw 9 in the transverse direction. So, by means of this female guide 7, the piece 8 is fixed at the desired point by pressing by means of the screw 9 against one side of the male guide of the gun and the screw 9 remaining positioned in a transverse recess of the male guide.
  • the actual rear cover 3 of the tactical flashlight 1 is provided with a transverse shaft which holds a rotating lever 10 for actuation of the switch 6 for the flashlight 1, with a female guide body 11 for securing to the male guide of a gun being able to be coupled to the cover 3 of the tactical flashlight.
  • the female guide body 11 with a general U-shape, is defined with the collaboration of a piece 12 for adjustment and fastening by means of a screw, similar to the screw 9, the guide body 11 being fixed to the cover 3 of the flashlight 1 via a pair of screws arranged in the radial direction in the pair of threaded holes 13,
  • the actuation in constant mode is facilitated and the fastening is more comfortable and quick.
  • a tactical flashlight 1 provided in its own rear cover with a lever 10 for actuation of the switch 6, has been adapted to a handgun 15 by means of a body 11, in such a manner that the lever 10 for actuation thereof remains in proximity to the positioning of the hand for holding the gun with the aim of facilitating its actuation.
  • the element for actuation of the switch 6 for turning on the flashlight is defined by a unitary filiform body 16 which via one of its ends defines a small straight section 17 for coupling in a hole of the actual bushing 3 of the flashlight, in such a way that said small straight section 17 is extended to create a trigger 18 in a position that is practically orthogonal, which when fitted backs onto the switch 6 for the flashlight and continues according to an angle-piece 19 in order to finish with its opposite end 20 on the bushing 3.
  • the element 16 presents a suitable flexibility so that, when it is actuated, this permits the trigger 18 to press on the switch 6 turning on the flashlight, while when this actuation ceases it returns to its original position ceasing to act on the switch and turning off the flashlight.
  • the stud 17 Is housed In a hole made in a projection 21 central to a recess in the bushing 3.
  • the element 16 acts as a spring.
