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 swivel base, which is attachable to the scope, and with a swivel mount, which is fixable to the firearm, swivel foot and swivel mount together form a pivot joint, which is a pivoting of the telescopic sight by a pivoting angle in a plane formed by the telescopic sight and the axial direction of the firearm when mounting a Pivoting range allows, with a contact surface, which is arranged on the pivot receiver, and with a clamping surface which is arranged on the pivot foot, and which forms a contact area with the contact surface in the mounted state, so that the pivot base fixed in the axial direction, in particular clamped is.

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. revealed. To achieve reproducible mounting of the riflescope on the firearm without reloading after detachment, rifle scope mounting systems are employed which permit 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 Handhebel 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 rotary 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 Mating surface must be reworked separately and manually, so that a precise fit of the riflescope is given in a desired position. On the Suhler hook mounting is for example in the document DE 29802854 U1 directed.

The publication US2003056417 A1 relates to a mounting device for a riflescope of a firearm. The mounting device comprises a pivoting portion, wherein the pivoting portion allows during the mounting of the telescopic sight a pivoting of the telescopic sight around a pivoting range. In the mounted state, the pivot portion defines an end position for the scope.

The publication US5070637 A also relates to a mounting device for a riflescope of a firearm, wherein the riflescope is mounted via a pivoting movement on the firearm. In the mounted state, a mounting section connected to the telescopic sight lies flat on a mounting section connected to the firearm.

The publication GB 853182 , which forms the closest prior art, discloses a mounting device for a firearm, the mounting device having a pivoting portion which is formed by a bolt and a receptacle. In the mounted state, in the region of the pivoting section, a first mounting section connected to the telescopic sight lies flat on a second mounting section connected to the firearm.

Mating surface must be reworked separately and manually, so that a precise fit of the riflescope is given in a desired position. On the Suhler hook mounting is for example in the document 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, which implements a high storage reproducibility of riflescope and firearm, even with repeated pickup and removal operations.

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 riflescope mounting system for a firearm, in particular for a hunting and / or sporting weapon, proposed, which is designed for mounting a riflescope on the firearm. The telescopic sight can be designed as an optical telescope, but also as any other imaging device.

The scope mounting system is such that the scope can be mounted in a desired position, wherein the target position describes the position at which the scope detects a shotgun point of a projectile fired from the firearm at a certain distance. In particular, the target position is to be seen in professional circles as determined by a shooting position. For the purposes of the description, the orientation of the firearm and / or the riflescope will be referred to hereinafter as the axial direction, a radial direction in the description refers relative to this axial direction.

The riflescope mounting system preferably builds on hook-on or counter-hook mounting, wherein a front or a rear foot of the riflescope mounting system - hereafter called swivel foot - is hooked into a swivel mount that is attachable to the firearm and / or fixed. Also, a Vice-Versa embodiment is conceivable within the scope of the invention, wherein the swivel foot on the firearm and the swivel mount on the scope can be attached. The swivel base and the swivel mount together form a swivel joint in the hooked state, the telescopic sight being swiveled by a swivel angle and positionally about a swivel range during assembly. Another foot - also called locking foot - is set to another shot on the firearm.

The plane of the pivoting is defined by the alignment of the riflescope and the orientation of the firearm, wherein in a projection direction firearm and riflescope are always congruent during assembly. So far resembles the riflescope mounting system of the well-known Suhler hook mounting.

Looking more closely at the swivel mount, it shows a contact surface which is roughly aligned in the radial direction, but in particular can also be curved and / or angled, etc. The swivel base has a clamping surface which is similarly aligned, and which forms a contact region with the contact surface in the mounted state, so that the swivel base is fixed in the axial direction, in particular clamped. In particular, the contact area prevents displacement of the Scope mounting system in the direction of Arretierfußes. The contact area thus forms a positive connection and / or a fixed bearing for the telescopic sight mounting system in the axial direction or in the direction of travel in the direction of Arretierfußes.

It is proposed that, in the nominal position, the contact region is arranged in radial alignment and / or in the direction of the telescopic sight at a distance from an edge of the contact surface. The contact surface thus extends in radial alignment further than the contact region, so that the contact region is positioned in an inner region of the contact surface.

• Zum einen wird der Randbereich der Anlagefläche entlastet. Durch die Entlastung des Randbereiches ist es möglich, die Anzahl der Aufsetzvorgänge und Abnahmevorgänge ohne Nacharbeitung des Zielfernrohrmontagesystems deutlich zu erhöhen. Während bei der Suhler Einhakmontage meist nur 10 bis 20 Wechsel möglich waren, haben Experimente gezeigt, dass mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Zielfernrohrmontagesystem mehr als 100, sogar mehr als 200 Wechsel ohne Nachbearbeitung des Kontaktbereichs erreichbar waren. Die Wartungsintervalle für das Zielfernrohrmontagesystem werden somit gegenüber der ursprünglichen Suhler Einhakmontage drastisch erhöht.

This constructive change justifies two possible technical improvements:

• On the one hand, the edge area of the contact surface is relieved. By relieving the edge area, it is possible to significantly increase the number of Aufsetzvorgänge and decrease operations without reworking the scope mounting system. While in Suhler hook mounting usually only 10 to 20 changes were possible experiments have shown that with the scope invention mounting system more than 100, even more than 200 changes without post-processing of the contact area were achievable. The maintenance intervals for the riflescope mounting system are thus drastically increased compared to the original Suhler hook mounting.

A second technical effect is to be seen in that the contact area with a small change in the pivot angle, for example, when unfolded from the target position by up to +/- 1 ° or up to + 3 ° spaced from the edge of Contact surface remains, so that a tolerance is given with respect to the swivel angle. The determination of the swivel angle at the target position via the other foot, but an over-definition of the swivel angle - as it was often customary in the Suhler hook installation - is no longer given.

The contact region may be formed as a line contact or as a contact point. Of course, these are idealized assumptions; via Herzsche's pressure, these geometric basic forms are usually broadened or converted into printed ellipses. It is also conceivable that the swivel base on the firearm and the swivel mount on the scope can be attached and / or attached.

In terms of design, the distance according to the invention can be recognized, for example. in that, in the desired position between the contact surface and the clamping surface, starting from the contact region, a radially outwardly opening gap or a comma gap or a gap with unparallel walls is provided. In a longitudinal section through or parallel to the axial extension, the gap width in the radial direction is monotonous or even strictly monotonically increasing. In particular, the gap width changes steadily.

To generate the gap, provision may be made for the contact surface and / or the clamping surface to be curved in said longitudinal section. Various possibilities are conceivable here: On the one hand, the contact surface can be curved and the clamping surface can be convex or vice versa. Instead of a straight extension, a surface can also assume a further convex curvature, so that two convex surfaces abut. It is even possible to use a concave curvature with a convex curvature, but chosen such that the opening gap forms in a radially outward direction. The type of curvature may correspond to part-circular, parabolic or any free-form.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention clamping means are provided which are adapted to apply a clamping force on the pivot foot in the axial direction, so that the pivot foot is clamped in the pivot receptacle. By the clamping means of the swivel foot is biased in the swivel mount in the axial direction. The clamping means may be arranged in the swivel base and / or in the swivel mount.

According to the invention, it is provided that the pivoting force in a swivel angle range of, for example, less than 5 ° about the desired position, in particular exclusively in the swiveling direction, is constant or nearly constant. With this development it is again emphasized that the determination of the swivel base in the axial direction is independent or virtually independent of small changes in the swivel angle from the desired position or, where appropriate, small changes in the position of the contact area on the contact surface. Particularly preferably, the telescopic sight is clamped by the mounting system in several positions in the pivoting angle range around the target position. In a preferred embodiment, the swiveling foot is arranged in the swivel mount with respect to the swivel angle so that it does not touch.

• Zum einen kann ein Auflagepunkt bzw. Auflagebereich des Schwenkfußes auf der Schwenkaufnahme den Schwenkbereich bilden. Der Auflagepunkt bzw. -bereich kann an einer dem Zielfernrohr zugewandten Außenseite oder auf einer davon abgewandten Innenseite der Schwenkaufnahme angeordnet sein. Denkbar ist auch, dass der Auflagepunkt bzw. Auflagebereich auf einem Boden der Schwenkaufnahme angeordnet ist.

The following options are available for the selection of the swivel range:

• On the one hand, a support point or contact area of the swivel foot on the swivel mount can form the swivel range. The support point or region can be arranged on an outer side facing the scope or on an inner side of the pivot receptacle facing away from it. It is also conceivable that the support point or support area is arranged on a bottom of the pivot receiver.

In a structural realization of the invention it is provided that the pivot receptacle is designed as a mounting plate, which is preferably insertable into a dovetail guide of the firearm.

It is also preferred that the swivel foot has a hook portion which allows a hook mounting in the swivel mount. In particular, this feature again shows the similarity with the famous Suhler hook mounting.

In a development of the invention, the swiveling foot comprises at least one or more preferably exactly two hook sections, which are preferably arranged at a distance from one another. In this embodiment, the pivoting foot according to the invention is similar to the classic swinging foot. The use of two hook sections supports a tilt-free mounting of the riflescope mounting system. It should be noted that the one or more hook portions form part of the pivot joint and thus assume a dual function. Preferably, the hook portions are opened to the side facing away from the other foot.

In a possible embodiment of the invention, the swivel base and / or the swivel mount in the longitudinal section has a circular section contour which forms part of the swivel joint. In this case, it is preferable that the pivoting range of the pivot joint is located at the center of the circle portion. It is conceivable that the pivot receptacle has a convex circular portion in the longitudinal section, which is formed for example by a pin, and on which the hook portion of the pivot foot is supported or hooked. On the other hand, it can also be provided that the pivot foot in the longitudinal section has a convex circular section contour with which the pivot foot is supported in a matching receiving contour of the pivot receptacle. In both cases, it may be provided that the receiving contour is elastically yielding with respect to its opening angle, so that thereby the clamping means is formed.

In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the swivel foot in the longitudinal section shows a receiving fork, which encompasses a region of the swivel mount. The receiving fork is elastically and / or resiliently formed with respect to the opening angle of the two fork ends, so that the clamping means is formed by the receiving fork. This has the advantage that the clamping means is arranged rifle scope side and can be replaced easily with a decrease in elastic properties. The elasticity can be achieved, for example, by an enlarged recess in the swivel foot, which is introduced into a region between the fork ends and which is dimensioned larger than would be necessary for Störkonturgründen in the pivoting.

In this embodiment, it is also preferred if the pivoting range is defined by a contact point of one of the fork sections on the pivot receiver. A preferred embodiment provides that the support point is formed between the fork end adjacent to the telescopic sight and a surface of the pivot receptacle facing the sighting telescope, preferably on the upper side of the pivot receptacle. Another embodiment provides that the support point is formed between the fork end remote from the scope and a surface of the pivot receptacle facing the scope, preferably on a bottom surface of the pivot receptacle.

In a possible addition to the invention, the telescopic sight mounting system comprises the Arretierfuß, the Arretierfuß is formed as a fixed bearing in the transverse direction and as a floating bearing in the axial direction.

In a possible development of the invention, the locking foot is designed so that it can be locked in different angular positions about at least one pivot axis relative to the firearm. The Arretierfuß is thus angle tolerant and can therefore be used without rework, if the swivel base and the Arretierfuß are not aligned or twisted to each other. In particular, the Arretierfuß a secure locking even with deviations in terms of pitch, yaw and / or roll angle of the Arretierfußes. Particularly preferred angle tolerances of at least 0.01 °, preferably at least 0.1 ° and in particular of at least 0.4 ° are possible.

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 with the firearm 1, a riflescope mounting system 3 is provided, which has a front attachment area 4 and a rear attachment area 5. 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 scope 2 is located.

In the Figures 2 a, b and 3, individual parts of the front attachment region 4 are shown in a schematic three-dimensional representation.

The FIG. 2a shows a swivel base 6, which is fixed to the scope 2, the FIG. 2b shows a pivot receptacle 7 in the form of a mounting plate which is fixed on the firearm 1 by a dovetail guide and / or by means of screws. The pivot foot 6 is formed as a ring segment and has two hooks 8, which are arranged spaced from each other and which can be inserted into corresponding slots 9 of the pivot receiver 7. During assembly, the hooks 8 are inserted and hooked and thus form together with the swivel mount 7, a swivel joint, which allows the pivoting of the scope 2 in the direction of arrow B. The hooks 8 are in the Mounting oriented away from the rear attachment region 5. On the side facing the rear attachment region 5, the hooks 8 each carry a clamping surface 10, which enables a fixation and clamping of the pivot base 6 and thus of the riflescope 2 in the axial direction. The function of the clamping surface 10 will be explained below. The side surfaces of the hooks 8, which are oriented in the direction of rotation around the sighting telescope 2, are received by the slots flat and accurately, so that a total of four or at least two guide surfaces are formed by the side surfaces. About the side surfaces, the position of the swivel base 6 is set in the transverse direction to the axial direction.

The FIG. 3 shows in a schematic three-dimensional representation of the front mounting portion 4 of the riflescope mounting system 3 with graphically suppressed firearm 1 and rifle scope 2. The pivot foot 6 is here hooked into the pivot receiver 7 and placed in the desired position. To accommodate the scope 2, a metal clip is screwed in the direction of rotation, which forms a mechanical receptacle for the telescopic sight 2 together with the pivot foot 6. In other embodiments, the aiming telescope 2 may also comprise a track aligned in the direction of travel, wherein the swivel foot 6 is attached to the rail.

In the FIGS. 4 . 5 . 6 and 7 In each case different embodiments of the invention are shown in a longitudinal section through one of the hooks 8. In the illustrations, both variations in the hooking mechanism and the clamping surface 10 are made, with other embodiments being disclosed by any mixture of these variations.

The FIG. 4 shows a hook 8, which has for hooking a circular section in the longitudinal section shown hook head 11 with radius R1 as a hook 8, which engages in a corresponding thereto formed bearing 12 of the pivot receptacle 7 and is pivotally mounted there about the center M of the hook head 11 so that the riflescope 2, the pivoting according to arrow B in the FIG. 1 can perform. The formation of the bearing 12 can be formed by only two support areas instead of the complementary, concave shape shown here. The clamping surface 10 of the hook 8 is located on a radially aligned contact surface 13 in a contact region 14 linear.

In the FIG. 4 is the desired position of the swivel base 6 and thus of the riflescope 2 shown. In this desired position, the contact region 14 is removed from an edge region 15 of the contact surface 13. For example, the distance is more than 0.5 mm, preferably greater than 1 mm and in particular greater than 1.5 mm. In a variation of the pivot angle about the desired position of the contact region 14 is always spaced from the edge region 15. In particular, extends in the radial direction, a gap 16 which is formed by the clamping surface 10 and the contact surface 13 and which opens steadily starting from the contact region 14 ,

Due to the remaining region of the contact surface 13 between the contact region 14 and the edge region 15, wear of the edge region 15 is avoided, so that a frequent placement and removal of the scope 2 without revision of the mounting system 3 is possible with the mounting system 3. In the embodiment shown, the radius R2 of the clamping surface 10 is selected such that it corresponds to the distance between the contact region 14 and fulcrum M, and also uses the same radius for the curvature, the contact area 14 does not migrate at all with small variations of the pivoting angle, for example less than 1 ° or less than 0.5 °.

However, similar effects can also be achieved if the clamping surface 10 is flat and the contact surface 13 is curved. Also, both surfaces can be curved, on the one hand to an opposing curvature and on the other to think of a same direction curvature with different radii of curvature. All of these embodiments can be designed so that the contact region 14 in the desired position is securely spaced from the edge region 15 and has a certain angular tolerance with respect to the pivoting angle.

In order to achieve a bias in the axial direction or a clamping in the axial direction, clamping means 17 may be provided which on the one hand press the contact surface 13 in the direction of the hook 8, on the other press the bearing 12 in the direction of the hook 8 and / or the in the hook 8 are arranged and are supported in the axial direction against the bearing point 12 and contact surface 13.

The FIG. 5 shows a second embodiment of the invention, which differs from the embodiment in the FIG. 4 essentially differs in that the bearing 12 is formed as a pin, which may be hardened and ground, for example, and which is formed as part of the pivot receiver 7. In this case, the hook 8 has a pin receptacle 18, so that the hook 8 can pivot about the center M, which is now located in the center of the pin. Again, the individual can Areas again be equipped with clamping means 17. The pin receptacle 18 may be formed in the sectional view shown as a V-shaped receptacle. Sufficiently components could be limited to the functional surfaces, so that instead of a pin, a cylindrical section or even only a plurality of cylindrical surface sections is used as a bearing.

The FIG. 6 shows a third embodiment of the invention, wherein the hook 8 similar to the embodiment in the FIG. 4 is formed so that reference is made to the description there. However, the pivot receiver 7 is realized differently. Here, a mouth 19 is formed for receiving the hook head 11, which leads the hook head 11 during the pivoting movement. The mouth 19 may be designed to be elastic within certain limits, so that it can expand under load in the axial direction through the hook head 11 and in this way forms the clamping means 17. Alternatively or additionally, further clamping means can be provided again.

The FIG. 7 shows a next embodiment of the invention, wherein the hook 8 has a hook mouth 20, which surrounds a stationary portion 21 of the pivot receiver 7. The hook mouth 20 rests on a top side of the stationary area 21 with a support area 22, wherein the support area 22 at the same time forms a pivot point or a pivot area for the pivoting movement of the swivel foot 6 or the riflescope 3. Again, the hook jaw 20 and the stationary portion 21 are formed so that a clamping means 17 is formed, which converts a bias of the hook 8 in the axial direction against the contact surface 13. In the exemplary embodiment shown, although the contact region 14 has slid closer to the edge region 15 in the desired position, However, as before, the gap 16 remains, so that the sensitive edge region 15 is not stressed in the desired position and thus can wear out. In detail view, this area is thus formed as shown in the preceding figures. It should also be noted that between the swivel base 6 and the swivel mount 7 in a region adjacent to the edge region 15, a transversely extending gap 18 is formed, so that from the desired position out of the swivel 6 in Aufklapp- but also in the closing direction without mechanical End stop can be moved.

All embodiments shown have in common that even with a moderate variation of the pivot angle of, for example, less than 1 °, in particular less than 0.5 °, the contact area 14 spaced from the edge region 15 remains, so that even different positions next to the desired position wear or can be adjusted wear-free. By the clamping means 17 while the force required for the pivoting in the said pivoting angle range is almost constant. In addition, the swivel base 6 is arranged in such a clamping manner that the telescopic sight 2 is self-holding in the swivel angle ranges. In particular, the biasing force between the clamping surface 10 and the abutment surface 13 is also constant or nearly constant within said swivel angle range, i. with a maximum deviation of 20% of the preload force in the desired position.

Conceptually considered, the front area 4 converts a fixed bearing in the axial direction and in the transverse direction and forms a movable bearing for the pivoting angle. In contrast, the rear portion 5 is formed as a fixed bearing in the transverse direction and in height, so that the pivot angle is defined, and realized in the axial direction as a floating bearing. In particular, the scope 2 is held tension-free by the mounting system 3.
