Description

The invention relates to a scope mounting system for a firearm for mounting a scope on the firearm in a target position, wherein the firearm and / or the telescopic sight are aligned in the desired position in an axial direction, with a Arretierfuß, which is attachable to the scope, and with a Arretieraufnahme which can be fixed to the firearm, wherein the Arretierfuß at least one support area and the Arretieraufnahme at least one contact area, wherein by the support area and the contact area in a contact area a positive engagement of the Arretierfußes on the Arretieraufnahme in a first radial direction and the Arretierfuß and the Arretieraufnahme form a detent, which detects the Arretierfuß releasably in the other radial direction.

In firearms, especially rifles, riflescopes are often used, which are designed as a telescope with an optics integrated target device. The aiming device and the firearm must be adjusted (shot) to each other, so as to ensure that the target device is an actual breakdown point of a fired projectile with the firearm.

However, for practical reasons it is sometimes necessary to separate the rifle scope and the firearm. This need may arise, for example, during transport, during storage, etc. To after a dismantling a reproducible mounting of the riflescope on the firearm Without re-shooting, riflescope mounting systems are employed which allow for easy separation and reassembly of the riflescope on the firearm in the stalled position.

• So betrifft beispielsweise die Druckschrift DE 9406408 ein Montagesystem für eine sogenannte Schwenk-Drehmontage eines Zielfernrohrs, wobei ein vorderer Drehzapfen des Montagesystems in einen vorderen Sockel einer Feuerwaffe eingesetzt und das Zielfernrohr um 90° eingeschwenkt wird. Ein hinterer Zapfen wird bei der Drehbewegung in eine seitliche Ausfräsung eingefahren und mittels eines Handhebels verriegelt. Ein ähnliches Montagesystem ist auch in der Druckschrift DE 10 2005 005232 A1 offenbart.

In the field of hunting firearms, at least two different types of riflescope mounting systems are known:

• For example, the publication relates DE 9406408 a mounting system for a so-called pivot-mounting a riflescope, wherein a front pivot of the mounting system used in a front base of a firearm and the scope is pivoted by 90 °. A rear pin is retracted during the rotational movement in a lateral cutout and locked by means of a hand lever. A similar mounting system is also in the document DE 10 2005 005232 A1 disclosed.

A very traditional method of assembly is the so-called Suhler hook mounting (SEM). In the Suhl hook-and-socket installation, the mounting foot attached to the objective head of the rifle scope is hooked into a front foot plate on the firearm. After a brief, powerful depression, the rear mounting foot attached to the central tube of the riflescope snaps into a rear mounting plate. To remove the riflescope, a spring-loaded pusher attached to the rear footplate must be retracted, whereupon the rearfoot latch is released and the riflescope can be unhooked. The Suhl monocoque mounting is considered one of the most elaborate riflescope assemblies, as this requires very complex pass work. Each individual mating surface must be reworked separately and manually, so that a precise fit of the riflescope is given in a desired position. For example, the Suhler hook-in assembly in the publication DE 29802854 U1 referred to, which is thereby accepted as the closest prior art.

The invention has for its object to provide a riflescope mounting system for a firearm, which allows a reproducible assembly and disassembly of the rifle scope on the firearm. This object is achieved by a telescopic sight mounting system with the features of claim 1. Preferred or advantageous embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims, the following description and the accompanying drawings.

In the context of the invention, a telescopic sight mounting system is proposed which is adapted to attach a sighting telescope to a firearm, in particular a handgun, in particular a hunting rifle or sports rifle. The riflescope mounting system allows the scope to be mounted on the firearm, disassembled and reproducibly re-mounted. In particular, in the assembly disassembly assembly operation, a adjusted position of the scope on the firearm is maintained or restored. This adjusted position of the riflescope on the firearm - also called shot position - is hereinafter referred to as target position and denotes the position at which a target device of the riflescope congruent a bullet point of a projectile, which was fired from the firearm, at a certain distance, such as for example, 100 meters, anvisiert.

The longitudinal extension of the firearm and / or the riflescope in the desired position is hereinafter referred to as the axial direction. A radial direction refers to subsequent to this axial direction. A transverse direction refers to a direction which is arranged both perpendicular to the axial and to the radial direction at a point radially spaced from an axially aligned axis of the firearm. The axially aligned axis is defined, for example, by the weft direction in the course of the firearm.

The scope mounting system preferably has two mechanical interfaces between the firearm and the scope, with a mechanical interface for locking the scope on the firearm. Preferably, viewed in the weft direction, the mechanical interface to the rear locking, so facing the user, arranged. The other mechanical interface is preferably designed so that it allows pivoting of the mounted on the firearm scope in a plane that is formed by the scope and the axial direction of the firearm. From the mounting method, the riflescope mounting system is thus very similar to the so-called Suhler hook mounting. In alternative embodiments, the position of the two interfaces is reversed and thus resembles the so-called contra-hook assembly.

The riflescope mounting system has a locking foot attachable to a scope and a locking receptacle securable to the firearm. Upon release of the riflescope of the firearm, the Arretierfuß remains on the scope and the Arretieraufnahme on the firearm. Also, a Vice Versa embodiment is within the scope of the invention, wherein the Arretierfuß on the firearm and the Arretieraufnahme on the scope is attachable.

Particularly preferably, the locking receptacle is designed as a mounting plate, which is fixed to the firearm in a form-fitting manner, in particular screwed-on, and is optionally fastened in a cohesive manner, for example by soldering.

The Arretierfuß has at least one support area, wherein the support area can be divided into different individual areas, the Arretieraufnahme shows, however, at least one investment area, which can also be distributed over several individual areas. The support area and the contact area form in the desired position in a contact area a positive engagement of the Arretierfußes on the Arretieraufnahme in a first radial direction. In particular, the contact area forms an end stop when pivoting the telescopic sight around the other mechanical interface on the firearm.

As a further function of the Arretierfuß and the Arretieraufnahme form a lock, which in the desired position, the Arretierfuß in the other radial direction, ie in the Aufschwenkrichtung, releasably detects. Preferably, other components in the assembly Arretierfuß - Arretieraufnahme, such as a pawl or a slider used for locking.

According to the invention it is proposed that the support surface and the contact surface are formed so that the Arretierfuß is lockable in different angular positions about at least one pivot axis relative to the Arretieraufnahme in the Arretieraufnahme. This ensures that the Arretierfuß in the locking receptacle is also recorded safe and / or Lagererepoduzierbar when the Arretierfuß relative to the locking receptacle is rotated about the at least one pivot axis. Preferably, the angular positions extend in a total range of at least 0.01 °, preferably at least 0.1 ° and in particular by at least 0.4 °.

It is a consideration of the invention that the fixation of the riflescope on the firearm can be distributed to the two mechanical interfaces, the lock in position deviations of the two mechanical interfaces of an ideal situation without adjustment work, as it was previously necessary, can be mounted.

A first possible pivot axis is formed by a yaw axis, so that the locking foot can be locked in rotation about a radially oriented pivot axis relative to the pivot receptacle. This angular tolerance may prove important in the case of a misalignment in the running or axial direction of the interfaces.

A second possible pivot axis is formed by a roll angle axis, so that the locking foot can be locked in rotation about a pivot axis oriented in the direction of rotation relative to the locking receptacle. This angular tolerance can prove to be important in a rotation of the interfaces to each other. This possibility is not absolutely necessary with some riflescopes, since they have a transverse adjustment (Q) and / or a rotational adjustment possibility of the riflescope around its own axis. The angular tolerance about the roll angle axis can thus be achieved by the transverse position and / or the Dreheinstellmöglichkeit. In contrast, telescopes are known that do not have these settings show, such as rifle scopes with a fixed rail system as an interface to the riflescope mounting system. In these embodiments, the angular tolerance with respect to the roll angle is particularly advantageous.

A third possible pivot axis is formed by a pitch angle axis, so that the locking foot about a pivot axis, which is preferably aligned perpendicular to the axial extent and to the radial extent, are locked relative to the locking receptacle twisted. This angular tolerance may prove to be important when the interfaces are nodded to each other.

In the context of the invention, the at least one pivot axis may comprise any or any two or all three of said possibilities. It is also within the scope of the invention that an at least one-dimensional, preferably two-dimensional, and in particular three-dimensional, pivoting of the arresting foot is represented in a different, analogous or equivalent mathematical system. For example, the lock could form a ball socket-like joint and / or a rocking horse-like receptacle.

In another embodiment, the catch is preferably designed such that the pivoting of the arresting foot about one of the pivot axes, which runs through the arresting receptacle, in particular through the support area and / or the contact area and / or the contact area, tolerates relative to the arresting receptacle. In other words, the locking foot has a degree of freedom with respect to said rotation or pivoting relative to the locking receptacle.

Alternatively or additionally, it is ensured that a proper installation can also be made, even if locking foot and locking receptacle are pivoted or rotated to one another about one or the radially aligned axis or another of the possible pivot axes. This angle-tolerant recording of Arretierfußes in the Arretieraufnahme allowed a deviation from a parallel alignment of Arretierfuß and Arretieraufnahme in some embodiments by more than 0.01 °, preferably more than 0.1 ° and in particular by more than 0.4 ° in particular up to 3 ° or more.

This advantageous development is based on the consideration that the two mechanical interfaces in the majority of cases in the desired position in the axial direction are not exactly aligned, but u.a. can be shifted in the transverse direction to each other. Due to the angle tolerant recording of Arretierfußes in Arretieraufnahme the installation and the Erstjustage, so the shooting, the scope assembly system are significantly simplified because the transverse offset or another offset described has no or only negligible effects on the lock.

In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the Arretierfuß is movable in the axial direction and held positively in the transverse direction. The movement in the axial direction is preferably possible by at least 0.1 mm, in particular by at least 1 mm and in particular by at least 2 mm.

As part of the development, the axial positioning of the firearm is defined by the other mechanical interface, so that in the locking of the locking foot in axial direction must not be defined and thus forms a movable bearing in this direction and / or has a degree of freedom in the axial direction. On the other hand, however, it is ensured that the locking foot is kept defined in the transverse direction and preferably also in height, ie in the radial direction. With the development of a low-voltage mounting of the scope on the firearm is possible because an over-definition of the mounting system is avoided in the axial direction.

In a preferred structural realization of the invention, the contact region is formed by a plurality of point and / or line contacts, which convert the form-fitting holder in the transverse direction. Preferably, at least or exactly two point or line contacts are used. In order to achieve the angular tolerance of the lock, it is preferred if the line contacts are aligned with the radial axis. By rectifying the radial axis and line contacts, it is possible to move the line contacts in a pivoting about the radial axis, without obtaining a positive blockage in the pivoting direction. In a realistic embodiment, a preferred exact parallel alignment of the line contacts and the radial axis will often be unreachable, so that a same orientation implements this inventive concept.

In one possible structural embodiment of the invention, the abutment region and / or the support region are formed in a cross section perpendicular to the axial direction of the firearm and / or the telescopic sight so that they form one or more funnel sections. The funnel sections are aligned so that they have a centering or Self-centering of Arretierfußes implement in the Arretieraufnahme. In the event that the abutment area is functionally designed as a bushing and the support area is formed as a plug, it is preferred that the funnel section (s) taper in the direction from the scope to the firearm. In a reverse case of socket and plug, the funnel direction should also be reversed, so that the centering effect and the mechanical compatibility is ensured.

• Für den Fall, dass berührende Wände des Trichterabschnitts des Anlage- und des Auflagebereichs beide gerade verlaufend und parallel zueinander angeordnet sind, wird ein Linienkontakt gebildet. Gleiches gilt, wenn in dem Kontaktbereich beide berührenden Wände mit dem gleichen Krümmungsradius und gleichsinnig gekrümmt ausgebildet sind. Bei anderen Ausführungsformen ist eine der Wände gerade und die andere Wand gekrümmt, insbesondere konvex ausgebildet, so dass sich ein Punktkontakt ergibt. Die Rolle der konvexen Wand kann sowohl der Anlagebereich als auch der Auflagebereich einnehmen. Auch ist es möglich, dass die berührenden Wände gleichsinnig mit unterschiedlichen Krümmungsradien z.B. im Sinne einer Schmiegung gekrümmt sind, so dass sich ebenfalls ein Punktkontakt ausbildet. Als weitere Alternative können die berührenden Wände konvex-konvex gekrümmt sein, hier ergibt sich ebenfalls ein Punktkontakt.

In a structural realization of the invention, the walls of the funnel section or the funnel section are designed to be straight or curved in the cross-section of the contact area and / or the support area. There are a number of possible combinations for this:

• In the event that contacting walls of the funnel portion of the abutment and the support portion are both arranged straight and parallel to each other, a line contact is formed. The same applies if in the contact area both touching walls are formed with the same radius of curvature and curved in the same direction. In other embodiments, one of the walls is straight and the other wall curved, in particular convex, so that there is a point contact. The role of the convex wall can take both the contact area and the support area. It is also possible that the contacting walls are curved in the same direction with different radii of curvature, for example in the sense of an osculation, so that also forms a point contact. As a further alternative, the contacting walls may be curved convex-convex, here also results in a point contact.

In a longitudinal section through the contact region parallel to the axial direction and indeed through the contact region, the contact region is preferably aligned straight, in particular aligned parallel to the axial direction. This straight course forms the basis for the axial degree of freedom of Arretierfußes in Arretieraufnahme by the Arretierfuß is movable on the contact area in the axial direction.

In the same longitudinal section through the contact region parallel to the axial direction of the support area shows two oppositely curved support flanks, both of which are convexly curved outward. The curvature of the bearing flanks may be portions of a common circle or portions of a circular arc-delta lens, that is, a cut-like shape that is generated when two circles partially overlap and together form a cut region. It can also be sections of an oval, a ship's form or a lemon shape. It is also possible that not only sections of the mentioned forms, but the complete shapes are represented by the support flanks. Particularly preferably, the two bearing flanks are mirror-symmetrical to an axis of symmetry parallel to the axial direction.

In particular, in the event that - as will be shown below - the Arretierfuß more than a hook portion having bearing areas, the support area can lean on the said forms, but are preferably designed as free-form surfaces. In particular, the bearing areas of a hook portion to an axis of symmetry parallel to the axial direction are formed asymmetrically to each other.

By combining a contact area with a longitudinally straight course and a support area, which shows curved support flanks, bearing area and contact area around the aforementioned radial axis or more generally around the yaw axis, roll axis and / or pitch axis to each other at small angles, for example a range between 0.01 and 3 degrees, are pivoted to each other, the contact areas move along the support areas or investment areas, but still implement the form-fitting function.

It is also conceivable that the structural design of the contact area and the support area are interchanged so that the contact area is straight and the contact area is curved accordingly. It is also possible that both contact area and support area are curved in the longitudinal section.

Alternatively or additionally, the support area forms a mushroom head, a conical head or a boat or sections thereof. In particular, when the locking foot is received by the locking receptacle only by a funnel section or two walls of the funnel section, it is preferred that the support section is formed as a rotationally symmetric region, wherein the radial axis of the pivoting is then guided through the axis of symmetry.

In particular, if - as is preferred - a Arretieraufnahme with two funnel sections or a Arretierfuß also with two corresponding thereto funnel sections is provided, it is preferred if the Form of the support area is expanded in an elongated shape in the direction of the axial direction.

The Arretierfuß may have exactly one hook portion. In one possible development of the invention, the locking foot has at least or exactly two hook sections, wherein the support area is arranged on at least one hook section. Preferably, the support area is arranged on both hook portions or distributed on both hook portions, wherein the hook portions in the support area may each have the shape described above. Particularly preferably, the locking receptacle has a receptacle for the Arretierfuß with at least or exactly two slots.

To implement the locking in the other radial direction, it is preferred that the locking receptacle has a locking slide, which is retractable in receiving areas of the hook portions in a longitudinal sectional plane. By retracting the locking slide in the receiving areas a positive fixing of the Arretierfußes is achieved in the opening direction of the lock.

In one possible implementation, the riflescope mounting system has a pivoting device as the other interface, with a swivel base and a swivel mount, which together form a pivot joint, wherein the swivel joint during assembly of the riflescope pivoting of the rifle scope by a pivot angle in a plane passing through the Scope and the axial direction of the firearm is formed to allow a swivel range. Preferably, the pivoting means forms a fixed bearing for the transverse direction and in the axial direction and in height, but remains in the pivoting direction, a degree of freedom with respect to the pivot angle, since the pivot angle is defined by the lock.

In preferred embodiments, the Arretierfuß from the Arretieraufnahme is obliquely removable or demoldable. In further preferred embodiments, the contact areas between bearing surfaces and contact surfaces form the only contact regions, in particular in the transverse direction (Q) and in the radial direction in the direction of displacement.

Corresponding or identical parts are each provided with the same or the same reference numerals.

The FIG. 1 a and 1b show in a schematic sectional view a firearm 1, designed as a hunting rifle, on which a riflescope 2 is mounted. For coupling the riflescope 2 to the firearm 1, a riflescope mounting system 3 is provided, which has a front attachment area 4 and a rear attachment area 5 having. During assembly, the scope 2 is hooked in the direction of arrow A in the front mounting portion 4 and then pivoted by a pivoting movement about the front mounting portion 4 according to arrow B by a pivot angle, so that the rear mounting portion 5 is locked. The pivoting takes place in leaf level of FIGS. 1 a, b in which both the axial extent of the firearm 1 and the axial extent of the telescopic sight 2 is located.

The FIG. 2 shows in a schematic three-dimensional representation of a locking device 6, which is arranged in the rear mounting portion 5 of the mounting system 3, in a locked state. The locking device 6 comprises a locking receptacle 7 which is fixed on the firearm 1. In the Arretieraufnahme 7 a Arretierfuß 8 is inserted and locked, the exact structure will be explained later. The Arretierfuß 8 is coupled via an adjusting device 9 with a ring receptacle 10 which surrounds the scope 2 circumferentially and receives. When loosened ring holder 10, the scope 2 can be rotated about its own axis and adjusted. The adjusting device 9 serves to adjust the ring holder 10 relative to the Arretierfuß 8 in a transverse direction Q or to adjust. In the Arretieraufnahme 7 a locking slide 11 is arranged, which is movable to release the locking of the Arretierierung 8 in the Arretieraufnahme 7 in the direction of the axial direction A.

The FIG. 3 shows in a schematic three-dimensional representation of the Arretierfuß 8 and the Arretieraufnahme 7 in exploded view. The Arretierfuß 8 has two hook portions 12, which in corresponding thereto Slots 13 of the locking receptacle 7 are inserted. The hook portions 12 are integrally attached to the Arretierfuß 8 and have receiving portions 14, in which the locking slide 11 engages in the locking by a displacement in the direction A, so that the Arretierfuß 8 locked against a movement in the radial direction R to the axial direction A positively , Incidentally, it should be noted that the locking slide 11 and the receiving areas 14 are designed to be self-locking and the locking slide 11 is biased by not shown spring elements in the openings 15 in the direction of the hook portions 12.

During assembly of the riflescope 2 of the firearm 1, the hooking process first takes place and subsequently the locking foot 8 is inserted into the slots 13 of the arresting receptacle 7 and locked there via the locking slide 11.

The FIG. 4 shows a three-dimensional representation of the Arretierfußes 8 from below to better explain the structure of the hook portions 12 can.

The hook sections 12 have a foot region 16 which has support surfaces 18 extending in the radial direction A and angled towards an underside 17 of the arresting foot 8 by approximately 45 °. In each foot region 16, two bearing surfaces 18 are arranged.

• bis auf die Beschränkung durch den Verriegelungsschieber 11
• frei bewegbar. In dieser Ausgestaltung wird der Arretierfuß 8 in Querrichtung Q formschlüssig gehalten und bildet einen Endanschlag für die Schwenkbewegung gemäß Pfeil B in der Figur 1, stellt jedoch ein Loslager in axialer Richtung A dar.

The mounting system 3 is designed so that a positive support of Arretierfußes 8 takes place on the Arretieraufnahme 7 only on the support surfaces 18, but not on the bottom 17 of Arretierfußes 8. Furthermore, the hook portions 12 and the bearing surfaces 18 and der Arretierfuß 8 in the Arretieraufnahme 7 in the axial direction A.

• except for the restriction by the locking slide 11th
• freely movable. In this embodiment, the Arretierfuß 8 is held positively in the transverse direction Q and forms an end stop for the pivoting movement according to arrow B in the FIG. 1 , however, represents a floating bearing in the axial direction A.

The FIGS. 5 and 6 show a plan view of the Arretieraufnahme 7 and a bottom view of Arretierfußes 8. As is apparent from the illustration in the FIG. 6 can be seen, the contact surfaces 18 are not straight extending, but formed in pairs to each other curved. In the edge regions of the slots 13 corresponding contact surfaces 19 are arranged, which are also employed to the top 20 of the Arretieraufnahme 7 approximately at a 45 ° angle. In contrast to the support surfaces 18, the contact surfaces 19 extend in the axial direction A. The contact surfaces 19 form a V-shaped receptacle for each slot 13 in a cross section to the axial direction A.

In a contact in an ideal orientation of Arretierfuß 8 and Arretieraufnahme 7 form contact lines 21, which collectively form a contact area between the support region of the support surfaces 18 and the contact region of the contact surfaces 19. In an ideal escape in the axial direction A, all contact lines 21 are at the same height. This situation is in the FIG. 7 shown, in which the Arretierfuß 8 is shown placed on the Arretieraufnahme 7.

In a rotation of the Arretierfußes 8 on the Arretieraufnahme 7 about a radially oriented axis of rotation, which, for example, through the through holes 22 of Arretieraufnahme 7 and 23 of the Arretierfußes 8 runs, move the contact lines 21 and form new line contacts 24, which again ensures a secure support, as shown in the FIG. 8 is shown. The resulting angular tolerance of the locking device 6 with respect to the rotation about the radially oriented axis of rotation (yaw angle axis) or the pitch angle axis is due to the curved shape of the bearing surfaces 18, wherein even with angular variations of greater than 0.01 °, 0.05 °, 0.1 ° or even 0.4 ° and less than 3 ° of the pivot foot 8 usually with four, at least two line contacts 21 and 24 rests on the Arretieraufnahme 7.

Conceptually, the locking device 6 allows a certain offset or angular offset (cursing) of the front attachment region 4 in the transverse direction Q, without, however, having to accept a deterioration in the position definition.

The front attachment region 4 is preferably such that the pivoting movement according to arrow B is not completely defined with regard to the pivoting angle, that is, is free of endangings in the desired position, so that the pivotal angle is defined exclusively by the positive engagement of the arresting foot 8 on the arresting receptacle 7.

The FIGS. 9 to 11 each show a schematic side view of the arrangement according to the FIG. 1 and a longitudinal section parallel to the axial orientation or the running direction through the contact region 21 at different angles about a pitch angle axis, wherein the pitch angle axis through the locking perpendicular to the running direction, ie the Direction of the barrel of the firearm, and perpendicular to the radial direction. The FIGS. 9a, b show the arrangement at a relative position with respect to the pitch angle to each other of 0 °, wherein the contact lines 21 the contact lines in the FIG. 7 correspond. In the FIGS. 10a, b respectively. 11a, b are Arretierfuß 8 and Arretieraufnahme 7 rotated by a pitch angle of + 1 ° and -1 ° to each other, wherein the contact lines 21 have migrated and form new contact lines 25 and 26 respectively.
