Description

The invention relates to a removable magazine for a rifle according to the preamble of claim 1.

Such a change magazine is from the DE 10 2006 009 859 B3 known. This has a carrier with a shaft-shaped housing and arranged in the housing of the carrier magazine insert for receiving cartridges. In this known plug-in magazine the magazine insert is in the inserted state with its bottom firmly on a lower part of the magazine shaft and is within the housing only up and down slidably. Due to a special inner contour of the magazine insert, the projectile tip of the top of the cartridges arranged in the cartridge insert slightly upwards obliquely, however, special precautions must be taken to facilitate the feeding of the cartridges into the chamber during the operation of the shutter and a collision between the Use and the lock to prevent when driving back.

In the WO 2009/032742 A1 is a handgun with a non-removable magazine revealed. The magazine shaft is hinged to a movable between an insertion position and a change position arm pivotable about a transverse axis. However, the sliding arm can only be moved between an upper and lower position, so that the magazine remains on the weapon and can not be changed easily.

The object of the invention is to provide a removable magazine of the type mentioned, which allows trouble-free transport of the cartridges in the chamber and a simplified reloading.

This object is achieved by a removable magazine with the features of claim 1.

Advantageous developments and advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

In the case of the change magazine according to the invention, the magazine insert is mounted on the support so as to be pivotable about a transverse axis by means of a pivot bearing arranged on its rear side. About the pivot bearing of the magazine insert on the carrier between an upwardly pivoted Patronenzuführstellung and a downwardly pressed lower position is movable. The magazine insert is replaced by a e.g. As a leaf spring executed compression spring pressed into the upwardly pivoted Patronenenzuführstellung. In the upwardly pivoted cartridge feed position, the magazine insert of the change magazine properly inserted into a magazine shaft of a rifle is arranged such that the topmost cartridge is aligned obliquely upward as viewed in the firing direction and the bullet tip of this cartridge already points in the direction of the cartridge chamber. Thereby, the insertion of the cartridges into the chamber with the forward movement of the shutter can be considerably simplified.

In an expedient embodiment, the pivot bearing can be arranged at a lower end of the back of the magazine insert. The pivot bearing may e.g. but also be arranged at the upper end of the rear wall. This also makes the magazine insert is pivotable in the desired manner.

The pivot bearing may advantageously be formed by a rearwardly projecting from the back of the magazine insert, outwardly semicircular shaped web for engagement in an associated, inwardly semicircular arched groove on the carrier. The pivot bearing can also be formed in other ways.

On at least one outer side of two parallel side walls of the magazine insert control surfaces may be provided with an oblique control ramp for controlling the pivoting movement of the magazine insert.

The magazine insert may be conveniently located within a shaft-shaped housing of the carrier. To guide the magazine insert and limit the Pivoting movement may be arranged on the outsides of the two two parallel side walls of the magazine insert outwardly projecting pins for engagement in arcuate slots of two parallel side walls of the housing.

In a further advantageous embodiment, a trigger unit with trigger guard and trigger can be arranged on the carrier, so that the trigger unit can be removed together with the plug-in magazine of the handgun. The magazine and the trigger unit form a related assembly, kept separate from the handgun and transported, but can be quickly re-installed if necessary. Thus, the handgun can not only quickly and easily unload, but e.g. after boarding a high seat, they can quickly be reloaded with full magazine capacity and full fire readiness. For this purpose, the plug-in magazine with the attached extraction unit must be inserted only from below into a corresponding receptacle of a closure housing. Safe handling of the rifle can be significantly improved.

In the FIGS. 1 to 4 is an insertable into a magazine shaft of a rifle change magazine with a carrier 1 and a carrier 1 arranged on the magazine insert. 2 shown for receiving a plurality of cartridges 3 in different views. The carrier 1 has a shaft-shaped housing 4 with an in FIG. 3 recognizable bottom 5, two spaced-apart side walls 6 and 7, seen in the weft direction front transverse wall 8 and a rear transverse wall 9. In the embodiment shown, the carrier 1 also includes a trigger device with a trigger guard 10 and a rotatable about a transverse axis 11 trigger 12. When removing the removable magazine from the magazine shaft of the rifle thus simultaneously the trigger guard 10 is removed with the trigger 12, whereby the security the weapon can be increased. However, the carrier 1 can also be designed without a withdrawal device. In the illustrated embodiment, the trigger guard 10 is made in one piece with the shaft-shaped housing 4, but it can also be formed as a separate and connected to the housing 4 via screws or other fasteners component. The rotatable around the transverse axis 11 deduction 12 includes at its rear end an upwardly projecting cam 13 which engages with inserted tool change magazine in engagement with a trigger mechanism not shown in the rifle.

On the two side walls 6 and 7 of the shaft-shaped housing 4 laterally resilient tabs 14 are provided with an upper locking lug 15 and a lower handle portion 16. When the changing magazine is correctly inserted into the magazine shaft of the rifle, the locking lugs 15 engage in corresponding recesses on the inner side walls of the magazine shaft on the rifle, whereby the changing magazine is securely held on the rifle. To remove the removable magazine, the two tabs 14 can be compressed on the downwardly projecting handle portions 16 and thereby the locking lugs 15 are disengaged from the corresponding wells

The arranged inside the housing 4 of the support 1 and for receiving a plurality of cartridge 3 serving magazine insert 2 includes in the weft direction a rear side 17, a front side 18 and two spaced-apart side walls 19 and 20, between which the cartridges 3 are held. In the oblique back 17 of the magazine insert 2, a passage 21 for the sleeve bottom 22 of the cartridge 3 is present. In the front side 18 of the magazine insert 2 there is an opening 23 for the projectiles 24 of the cartridges 3. The opening 23 in the front 18 is designed such that the projectile tips 25 of the projectiles 24 can project forward relative to the magazine insert 2. The example from Plastic existing magazine insert 2 also has an in FIG. 3 recognizable bottom 26. The magazine insert 2 can be adapted to a desired caliber and easily replaced if necessary.

Like from the FIGS. 3 and 4 It can be seen, the magazine insert 2 is pivotally mounted about a transverse axis 28 on the carrier 1 via a arranged on the back 17 of the magazine insert 2 pivot bearing 27. The pivot bearing 27 is arranged in the embodiment shown at the lower end of the back 17 of the magazine insert 2 and is formed by a back of the magazine insert 2 2 rearwardly projecting and semi-circular shaped web 29, which in an associated, inwardly semicircular arched groove 30th on the inside of the rear transverse wall 9 of the housing 4 engages. About the pivot bearing 27 of the magazine insert 2 on the support 1 between an in FIG. 3 shown, upwardly pivoted Cartridge feed position and a in FIG. 4 shown, down pressed lower position movable. To guide the magazine insert 2 and limiting the pivoting movement are on the outer sides of the two side walls 19 and 20 outwardly projecting pins 31 which engage in circular arcuate slots 32 in the two side walls 6 and 7 of the housing 4 on the carrier 1. In an in FIG. 3 recognizable recess 33 at the bottom 5 of the shaft-shaped housing 4 is a here designed as a leaf spring compression spring 34 is arranged, through which the magazine insert 2 is pressed into the upper cartridge feed position. The compression spring 34 is clamped between the bottom 5 of the housing 4 and the bottom 26 of the magazine insert 2.

At the upper end of the rear transverse wall 9 of the housing 4, two upwardly projecting webs 35 are arranged, through which the upper cartridge 3 during pivoting of the magazine insert 2 from the in FIG. 4 shown lower position in the in FIG. 3 shown Cartridge feed position is pushed forward.

Out FIG. 1 It can be seen that on the outside of the side wall 19 of the magazine insert 2 control surfaces 36 are arranged with an obliquely upwardly extending control ramp 37. By a push rod or a control rail of a shutter, not shown here, the movement of the magazine insert 2 can be controlled for example so that the magazine insert when closing the shutter for the supply of the cartridge in the chamber initially in the upwardly pivoted Cartridge feed position remains and subsequently passes via the control ramp 36 in the downwardly depressed lower position, so that during the return movement of the closure after a firing, no collision between the returning closure and the magazine insert takes place.
