Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a control for a movable about a pivot axis of a firearm weapon, which is in its clamping position via a latching surface with a counter surface of a trigger element, such as a sear on the trigger lever, latched (see, eg DE 198 46 657/2 ).
  • a cam portion is provided which engages in a deviating from the clamping position pivot position of the hammer on a control surface of the trigger element and this holds in an unlocked (non-securable) position.
  • Such a known mechanism prevents, for example in automatic rapid-fire guns, the incorrect operation of a safety device which acts on the trigger element.
  • the directional indications used below such as front, back, top, bottom, right and left, are indicated from the point of view of a shooter holding the weapon.
  • the cam portion is usually formed as a peripheral surface which is cam-shaped more or less concentric with the pivot axis or pivot shaft of the hammer.
  • the trigger element is usually formed in such weapons as a rocker arm having a sear at its (front) end and at the other (rear) end, for example, cooperates with corresponding control surfaces of a backup roll. Between the two ends of the rocker arm is pivotally mounted about a pivot axis defining the pivot axis and can be tilted about a trigger to trigger the hammer to the pivot point (when the weapon is unlocked). This dissolves the face the sear from the detent surface of the hammer and the cam section passes over the edge of the sear and stops at the control surface adjacent thereto the rocker - during the knock-off movement and in the stop position of the hammer - in the release position.
  • the top of the sear serves as a control surface, which is pressed by the trigger spring against the cam section.
  • the backup roller which acts on the other (rear) end, can not be adjusted.
  • This known mechanism ensures that the clamping operation is not affected - that is, a load-through of the weapon (automatically or manually) is possible and that during the clamping process, the trigger mechanism is not damaged. This would be the case if the triggering element would be brought over a accidental operation of the backup roller with knocked hammer in a secured position. In such a secure position, namely, the clamping process of the hammer would be inhibited and it could trigger the deduction / knocking mechanism damage occurring.
  • the principle of the tee / securing mechanism described above is realized, for example, the M16 rifle (see also, for example US 5,713,150 A ).
  • This lever arm also largely determines the swivel space requirement of the control curve section, which starts from the triggering edge of the latching surface and, with a short lever arm, runs close to the pivot axis and, with a long lever arm, further away from the pivot axis.
  • Another way to change the trigger weight is to vary the effective lever arm, with which the locking surface on the mating surface (the end face of the Abziehss Hecks) attacks. About this measure, the desired effect and thus the friction can be controlled comparatively precise without the production cost would have to be significantly increased.
  • Fig. 5 shows a hammer A, in which, starting from a dashed lines shown latching and control contour B and C a modified locking and control contour E and F is provided, in which by an extension of the effective lever arm from h to H, the withdrawal force has been reduced.
  • Simultaneously illustrated Fig. 5 a problem occurring; namely, that the swivel space requirement of the cam portion E has increased compared to that of the cam portion B. Under certain circumstances, this swivel space requirement increases to the extent that the existing space conditions in the weapon housing are no longer sufficient to realize this solution. That is, with existing weapons, this measure to reduce the trigger weight is difficult to achieve because a suitably modified hammer in the existing housing does not accommodate (collision area K). Additional modifications (milling, extensions, etc.) are required.
  • a corresponding flattening of the cam portion to avoid the collision K (black area shown) with the weapon housing would not solve the problem, because then a significant cam section would be missing, which prevents the trigger element in the teeing position of the trigger is tilted so that an accidental backup can be excluded (see above).
  • the invention is characterized in that the control element has a first cam portion, which is adjustable in the pivoting direction to the cam portion of the Impact lever adjacent.
  • the control is adjustable so that it depending on the pivot position of the hammer the cam portion in the pivoting direction, ie in the circumferential direction, if necessary extended and engages in corresponding pivot positions on the control surface of the trigger element, thus maintaining the required arming function in the desired pivoting range of the hammer. Due to the adjustability of the control element and its cam portion of the required cam section can be reduced on the hammer and thus also the required pivot space requirement for this reduced cam section. However, the control function is realized for the complete pivoting of the hammer on the control surface of the trigger element and in particular in the tee position of the hammer.
  • the stripping device according to claim 9 can be realized or a striker assembly according to claim 10, wherein the trigger weight is reduced by an acting on the percussion lever to an extended lever arm to the trigger shaft locking surface is provided.
  • a tee assembly is interfaceable to an existing chopper and designed to be interchangeable. In this case, the required pivot space requirement is not extended, so that a tee assembly is also suitable as a retrofit kit for an existing weapon.
  • the control is designed as a coaxial with the pivot axis of the hammer pivotable cam.
  • a coaxial to the pivot axis of the hammer lever arrangement of pivotable elements of a chopping device is, for example CA2590831 and from US 5925935 known.
  • the control is to be arranged close to the control cam portion supporting portion of the hammer.
  • the cam portion of the cam may be formed directly adjacent to the cam portion and in this transitional. Such a cam can be made as a simple stamping.
  • the control on a second cam portion which engages the clamping position einskydem hammer on the trigger element and thus sets the locking depth between the locking surface on the hammer and the counter surface on the control.
  • the second cam portion serves as a stop for the depth of engagement of the end face of a sear. The depth of engagement determines the overlap (the coupling surface) of the active surfaces and thus also the frictional force acting between these surfaces and thus also the deduction weight. Over different radii of the second cam section so the deduction weight can be adjusted further.
  • the claims 4 to 7 relate to measures with which the required adjustability of the control to the hammer in response to its pivot position can be realized.
  • the control element has a setting range which, at a counterpart (for example catch region of the striking lever), stops the pivoting position relative to the striking lever.
  • a first adjusting range is provided according to claim 5, which strikes the clamping area on the driver area and adjusts the control in the desired manner. In the present case, this can take place in such a way that the control curve zone formed from the control curve section and the control curve section is shortened and thus the swivel space requirement is minimized.
  • a second adjustment range is provided, which acts in opposite directions and ensures that the control curve zone is extended at tee-off or when the hammer is cut off and exerts the control function.
  • a third adjustment range is provided to finally set the final position between the control element and hammer in teeing position and thus also the maximum extent of the control curve zone.
  • the use of such a sleeve also allows a relatively generous tolerance between the sleeve inner surface and the pivot shaft outer surface.
  • Claim 9 relates to a chopping device with a control according to the invention.
  • Claims 10 and 11 relate to a complete tee-off assembly according to the invention, which is completely interchangeable with an existing tee-off device, so that a reduced trigger weight can be realized without further intervention and reconstruction measures on an existing weapon, without important safety and functional aspects being impaired.
  • such a tee-off assembly may additionally have a trigger, a breaker and a permanent fire jack, so that the tee assembly is particularly suitable for semi-automatic or automatic ordnance weapons.
  • Claim 12 finally relates to a weapon which is provided with a corresponding control of a knock-off device or a tee-off assembly.
  • Fig. 1 shows a knockout or a tee assembly 1 with the hammer 3 in clamping position.
  • Fig. 2 shows the same arrangement in a weapon housing 5.
  • the hammer 3 shown is seated on a pivot axis 7 defining the pivot shaft 9, which is received in the housing 5.
  • a leg spring assembly 11 acts between a stop 13 and the hammer 3 and biases this in the strike direction, so that when triggered the hammer this beats with its face 15 against a firing pin, not shown, and so ignites a propellant charge (tee position: see Fig. 3 ).
  • the hammer 3 shown is further provided with a catch nose 17 which cooperates with a breaker 19.
  • a disguise85klinke 21 is arranged at the rear end of the percussion lever 3 .
  • the cam-shaped cam portion 23 extends over an edge 25 with the perpendicular to the cam portion 23 extending locking surface 27 (FIG. Fig. 3 ), over which the Whip lever 3 is held in its detent position ( Fig. 1 . Fig. 2 ).
  • the latching takes place via the end face 29 of the formed as a detent lugs 31 end of the trigger lever 33.
  • the trigger lever 33 is pivotally mounted on the trigger shaft 35 in the weapon housing 5 and is on the trigger spring 37 (here also designed as a leg spring assembly) with its front end or Locking lug 31 pressed upward in the direction of hammer 3.
  • the end face 29 and the locking surface 27 engage each other so that the hammer 3 is held in the cocked position.
  • the serving as a backup end rear end 39 of the trigger lever 33 engages in corresponding cam portions 44 of the backup roller 40, which is rotatable on the outside of the housing extending operating lever 41.
  • the trigger lever 33 At the bottom of the trigger lever 33 is the trigger blade 42 and protrudes from the weapon housing 5 in the trigger guard area 43. To trigger the trigger blade 42 is actuated. In this case, the trigger lever 33 is pivoted against the action of the trigger spring 37 and the detent lug 31 comes out of engagement with the hammer 3. More specifically, the end face 29 slides along the locking surface 27 until the trigger edge 30 passes under the edge 25 and the hammer 3 below Effect of the leg spring assembly 11 in the tee position fast ( Fig. 3 and 4 ).
  • a control is arranged, which is designed as a flat cam disc 50 and is also pivotally mounted on the sleeve 52 on the pivot shaft 9.
  • the cam disk 50 is laterally adjacent to the control cam portion 23 with its first cam portion 54 and extending in the circumferential direction.
  • a second cam section 56 engages in the clamping position of the Impact lever 3 at the trigger edge 30 and at the outgoing therefrom control surface 32 and sets the depth of engagement of the Raststollens 31 and the end face 29 on the latching surface 27 fixed.
  • the rotational position of the control element 50 with respect to the impact lever 3 in the tensioning position is determined by the first control range 58, which rests against a driving shoulder 22 of the striking lever 3 and prevents further rotation of the cam disk 50 towards the striking lever 3 (in FIG Fig. 2 Turning the cam disc 50 counterclockwise to the hammer 3).
  • a second adjustment range 60 limits the rotational position of the cam disk 50 with respect to the impact lever 3 in the other direction when it moves from its clamping position into the knock-off position (see FIG Fig. 3 ) emotional.
  • the cam disk 50 thus rotates during the knock-off movement of the hammer 3 in the clockwise direction to this.
  • the first cam portion 54 is displaced in the circumferential direction to the control cam portion 23.
  • the cam portion 54 pushes the locking lug 31 down and thereby the rear end 39 of the trigger lever 33 upwards and engages in the corresponding cam portion 44 of the backup roller 40 a.
  • the cam portion 44 is formed so as not to be out of the in Fig. 3 shown secured position (rear end 39 above) in the securing position, the in Fig. 2 is shown (rear end 39 below) can be adjusted.
  • This mechanism ensures that when repeating the hammer 3 can be brought back into its cocked position.
  • Without serving as a control cam 50 of the trigger lever 33 would namely of the trigger spring 37 in the in Fig. 4 pressed position shown.
  • the rear end 39 of the trigger lever 33 would be in a position in which the backup roller 40 can be brought into the secured position.
  • the cam portion 44 blocks the trigger lever 33.
  • the latching lug 31 would block the hammer 3 in this position. He could not be tense or would damage the trigger lever 33 when tightening or possibly cancel the catches 31.
  • such a control reduces the pivoting space requirement of the control cam section 23. This is so shortened that it does not reach the area of the housing wall 6 delimiting the pivot space when the striking lever 3 is pivoted into the clamping position.
  • the control element here the cam disc 50
  • This is a knockout or a tee assembly 1 can be realized, which can be exchanged as a replacement unit against a corresponding assembly with shorter Wirkhebelarm.
  • the bearings of the pivot shaft 9 and the take-off shaft 35 need not be changed.
  • the tee-off force does not have to be reduced.
  • Such a replacement module can also be set up so that it can be equipped with further known locking mechanisms (interrupter 19, continuous emergency release 21) which cooperate with an existing backup roller 40.
  • the backup roller 40 can be exchanged with such a unit with.
