Description

ARME A FEU SEMI-AUTOMATIQUE  SEMI-AUTOMATIC FIREARM
L'invention se rattache au secteur technique des armes à feu, et concerne plus particulièrement une arme semi-automatique quel que soit le calibre. The invention relates to the technical sector of firearms, and relates more particularly to a semi-automatic weapon regardless of the caliber.
De manière parfaitement connue pour un homme du métier, ce type d'armes comprend un ensemble mobile monté dans une boîte de culasse. Cet ensemble mobile comprend, pour l'essentiel, un obturateur, un verrou et un percuteur, qui peut être percuté sur l'effet de basculement d'un chien commandé par une détente, à Γ encontre d'un ressort de rappel. In a manner well known to those skilled in the art, this type of weapon comprises a mobile assembly mounted in a receiver. This moving assembly essentially comprises a shutter, a latch and a striker, which can be struck on the tilting effect of a dog controlled by a trigger, against a return spring.
L'armement du système de percussion s'effectue pour ce type d' arme à feu du type semi-automatique, par déplacement de l'ensemble mobile qui peut être effectué par récupération de l'énergie résultant de la munition tirée. Cette récupération peut être effectuée par le biais d'un système à inertie, d'un système à emprunt de gaz sous le canon, ou par le recul du canon. En considérant le principe de fonctionnement d'une arme semi- automatique, la cartouche est immédiatement rechambrée, ce qui peut générer des risques accidentels. The arming of the percussion system is performed for this type of semi-automatic type of firearm, by moving the movable assembly that can be performed by recovering the energy resulting from the fired munition. This recovery can be done through an inertial system, a system of borrowing gas under the barrel, or the recoil of the barrel. By considering the principle of operation of a semi-automatic weapon, the cartridge is immediately rechambered, which can generate accidental risks.
L'invention s'est fixée pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients d'une manière simple, sûre, efficace et rationnelle. The object of the invention is to remedy these disadvantages in a simple, safe, effective and rational manner.
Le problème que se propose de résoudre l'invention est de proposer une sécurité supplémentaire apte à créer une temporisation au niveau du chambrage. Le rechambrage devient une action manuelle et volontaire. Pour résoudre un tel problème, il a été conçu et mis au point une arme à feu semi-automatique comprenant des moyens aptes à récupérer l'énergie résultant de la pression exercée lors du tir d'une munition en vue du déplacement d'un ensemble mobile à rencontre d'un ressort de rappel et comprenant un obturateur, un verrou et un percuteur coopérant avec un chien commandé par une détente. The problem to be solved by the invention is to provide additional security capable of creating a delay in the chambering. The rechambrage becomes a manual and voluntary action. To solve such a problem, it was designed and developed a semi-automatic firearm including means able to recover the energy resulting from the pressure exerted when firing a munition for the purpose of moving a set. mobile against a return spring and comprising a shutter, a latch and a striker cooperating with a dog controlled by a trigger.
Selon l'invention, compte tenu du problème posé à résoudre, l'arme à feu du type semi-automatique comprend : According to the invention, given the problem to be solved, the semiautomatic type firearm comprises:
- des moyens de verrouillage à l'arrière de l'ensemble mobile, en position comprimée du ressort de rappel, après chaque tir,  locking means at the rear of the moving assembly, in the compressed position of the return spring, after each firing,

Dans une première forme de réalisation avantageuse de l'invention, les moyens de verrouillage sont constitués par le chien, qui coopère avec l'ensemble mobile, pour le maintenir à l'arrière. In a first advantageous embodiment of the invention, the locking means are constituted by the dog, which cooperates with the movable assembly, to maintain it at the rear.
Il résulte de ces caractéristiques que l'on agit sur une pièce maîtresse, qui est le chien.  It follows from these characteristics that one acts on a centerpiece, which is the dog.
Dans cette première forme de réalisation, l'ensemble de déverrouillage coopère, lorsqu'il est actionné manuellement, avec deux pièces, aptes à neutraliser le système de percussion de l'arme, en rendant inopérant le chien, lesdites deux pièces étant constituées par un doigt de dé verrouillage et un cran de dé verrouillage. Le cran de déverrouillage présente un bec coopérant avec un bossage du chien pour le faire descendre lorsque l'ensemble de déverrouillage est actionné manuellement. In this first embodiment, the unlocking assembly cooperates, when it is actuated manually, with two parts, able to neutralize the percussion system of the weapon, rendering the dog inoperative, said two parts being constituted by a locking finger and a lock release. The unlocking notch has a beak cooperating with a boss of the dog to lower it when the unlocking assembly is operated manually.
L'ensemble de déverrouillage est rendu solidaire du doigt de dé verrouillage, au moyen d'un axe de pivotement que présente ledit ensemble, ledit axe de pivotement présentant une portée mâle polygonale coopérant avec une empreinte femelle de forme complémentaire, formée dans l'épaisseur du doigt de dé verrouillage. Dans une autre forme de réalisation, les moyens de verrouillage sont constitués par une fourchette pivotante en communication avec l'ensemble mobile.  The unlocking assembly is secured to the unlocking finger, by means of a pivot axis that has said assembly, said pivot axis having a polygonal male bearing cooperating with a complementarily shaped female cavity formed in the thickness the unlocking finger. In another embodiment, the locking means are constituted by a pivoting fork in communication with the moving assembly.
Dans cette autre forme de réalisation, l'ensemble de déverrouillage coopère, lorsqu'il est actionné manuellement, avec une pièce apte à neutraliser le système de percussion de l'arme en débrayant la détente, ledit ensemble de déverrouillage étant constitué par une biellette articulée montée pivotante par rapport à un axe d'articulation et présentant un doigt de manœuvre coopérant avec une lumière pour être accessible à partir de l'extérieur de l'arme. In this other embodiment, the unlocking assembly cooperates, when it is actuated manually, with a part adapted to neutralize the percussion system of the weapon by disengaging the trigger, said unlocking assembly being constituted by an articulated link pivotally mounted relative to an axis of articulation and having a finger cooperating with a light to be accessible from the outside of the weapon.
L'invention est exposée ci-après plus en détail à l'aide des figures des dessins annexés dans lesquels : The invention is described below in more detail with reference to the figures of the accompanying drawings, in which:

Comme indiqué, l'invention s'applique à tout type d'armes à feu du type semi-automatique, quel que soit le calibre. Ce type d'armes est parfaitement connu pour un homme du métier et peut présenter différentes formes de réalisation. Pour l'essentiel, ce type d'armes comprend une crosse, non représentée, une boîte de culasse (1), un chargeur (2) et un canon (3). La boîte de culasse (1) reçoit un ensemble mobile (4) composé essentiellement d'un obturateur, d'un verrou et d'un percuteur qui est percuté sous l'effet du basculement d'un chien (5) commandé par une détente (6). As indicated, the invention applies to any type of semi-automatic type of firearm, whatever the caliber. This type of weapon is well known to a person skilled in the art and may have different embodiments. Essentially, this type of weapon includes a butt, not shown, a breech box (1), a magazine (2) and a barrel (3). The receiver (1) receives a mobile assembly (4) consisting essentially of a shutter, a lock and a striker which is struck by the tilting of a dog (5) controlled by a trigger (6).
L'armement de l'ensemble mobile (4) s'effectue par des moyens aptes à récupérer l'énergie résultant de la pression exercée lors du tir d'une munition (7). Cette énergie peut être récupérée soit par inertie, soit par un système à emprunt de gaz sous le canon, soit encore par recul du canon, comme cela est couramment utilisé dans les armes à feu du type semi- automatique. Cette récupération d'énergie permet donc le déplacement de l'ensemble mobile(4) à rencontre d'un ressort de rappel (10). Enfin, l'arme comporte des moyens de verrouillage arrière de l'ensemble mobile (4) en position comprimée du ressort de rappel (10). The arming of the movable assembly (4) is effected by means able to recover the energy resulting from the pressure exerted when firing a munition (7). This energy can be recovered either by inertia, or by a system of borrowing gas under the barrel, or by recoil of the barrel, as is commonly used in semi-automatic firearms. This energy recovery therefore allows the moving assembly (4) to move against a return spring (10). Finally, the weapon comprises rear locking means of the movable assembly (4) in the compressed position of the return spring (10).
L'arme présente un ensemble de déverrouillage (12), actionnable manuellement, et apte à agir directement sur le chien (5), pour libérer l'ensemble mobile (4) et permettre le retour assisté dudit ensemble, en vue d'un rechargement. L'ensemble de déverrouillage est constitué par un levier de manœuvre (12), accessible à partir de l'extérieur de l'arme. Plus particulièrement, le levier de déverrouillage (12) est assujetti au chien (5) qui constitue, par conséquent, le moyen de verrouillage en coopérant avec deux pièces (15) et (15a), aptes à neutraliser le système de percussion de l'arme, rendant par conséquent, inopérant ledit chien (5). The weapon has an unlocking assembly (12), operable manually, and able to act directly on the dog (5), to release the movable assembly (4) and allow the assisted return of said assembly, for reloading . The unlocking assembly is constituted by an operating lever (12) accessible from the outside of the weapon. More particularly, the unlocking lever (12) is secured to the dog (5) which is, therefore, the locking means by cooperating with two parts (15) and (15a), able to neutralize the percussion system of the weapon, thereby rendering said dog inoperative (5).
Comme le montre plus particulièrement la figure 7, ces deux pièces sont constituées par un doigt de déverrouillage (15), et un cran de dé verrouillage (15a).  As shown more particularly in Figure 7, these two parts are constituted by an unlocking finger (15), and a locking notch (15a).
Le levier de déverrouillage (12) est solidaire du doigt de déverrouillage (15), au moyen d'un axe de pivotement (13), que présente ledit levier (12), ledit axe est engagé transversalement, figure 8. The unlocking lever (12) is secured to the unlocking finger (15), by means of a pivot pin (13), that the lever (12) has, said axis is engaged transversely, Figure 8.
Plus particulièrement, cet axe (13) présente une portée mâle polygonale, sous forme d'un carré par exemple, coopérant avec une empreinte femelle de forme complémentaire, formée dans l'épaisseur du doigt de déverrouillage (15).  More particularly, this axis (13) has a polygonal male surface, in the form of a square, for example, cooperating with a female cavity of complementary shape formed in the thickness of the unlocking finger (15).
Ainsi, lorsque l'on agit sur le levier de déverrouillage (12), le doigt de déverrouillage (15), qui coopère en appui avec le cran de déverrouillage (15a), agit sur ledit cran, qui présente un bec coopérant avec un bossage du chien, pour le faire descendre. Il résulte de ces caractéristiques que le verrouillage à l'arrière de l'ensemble mobile s'effectue directement par le chien, qui constitue une pièce maîtresse de l'arme. Thus, when one acts on the unlocking lever (12), the unlocking finger (15), which cooperates in abutment with the release notch (15a), acts on said notch, which has a beak cooperating with a boss of the dog, to bring it down. It follows from these characteristics that the locking at the rear of the moving assembly is carried out directly by the dog, which is a master piece of the weapon.
Dans une autre forme de réalisation, ces moyens de verrouillage sont constitués par une fourchette pivotante (1 1) en communication avec l'ensemble mobile (figures 1 et 2). Dans cette forme de réalisation, l'ensemble de déverrouillage est constitué par une biellette articulée (12), montée pivotante par rapport à un axe d'articulation (13) et présente un doigt de manœuvre coopérant avec une lumière pour être accessible à partir de l'extérieur de l'arme. Comme pour la réalisation précédente, pour éviter un shuntage du verrouillage arrière de l'ensemble mobile (4) en exerçant, par exemple, une pression en continu sur la biellette (12), cette biellette coopère, lorsqu'elle est actionnée manuellement, avec une pièce (15) apte à neutraliser le système de percussion de l'arme en débrayant la détente. In another embodiment, these locking means are constituted by a pivoting fork (1 1) in communication with the moving assembly (Figures 1 and 2). In this embodiment, the unlocking assembly is constituted by an articulated rod (12), pivotally mounted relative to a hinge axis (13) and has a control finger cooperating with a light to be accessible from the outside of the weapon. As for the previous embodiment, to avoid a shunting of the rear lock of the moving assembly (4) exerting, for example, a continuous pressure on the link (12), this link cooperates, when manually operated, with a piece (15) adapted to neutralize the percussion system of the weapon by disengaging the trigger.
Le fonctionnement de l'arme est le suivant : The operation of the weapon is as follows:
A la mise à feu de l'arme, cette dernière est fermée, le chien (5) percute l'ensemble mobile (frappe le percuteur) (4) pour le départ de la munition (7).  When firing the weapon, the latter is closed, the dog (5) hits the moving assembly (strikes the striker) (4) for the departure of the ammunition (7).
Sous l'effet de la pression exercée par le départ de la munition, l'énergie est récupérée pour le déplacement de l'ensemble mobile (4).  Under the effect of the pressure exerted by the departure of the ammunition, the energy is recovered for moving the moving assembly (4).
Sous l'effet de récupération de l'énergie, il y a une éjection assistée de la munition (7). Le chien (5) est réarmé sous l'effet du recul de l'ensemble mobile (4), le ressort (16) du chien est comprimé. Dans cette position, on a donc une éjection assistée de la munition (7), bandage du ressort (16) du chien assisté (5) et bandage du ressort (10) de retour assisté. Under the effect of energy recovery, there is an assisted ejection of the munition (7). The dog (5) is rearmed under the effect of the recoil of the moving assembly (4), the spring (16) of the dog is compressed. In this position, there is thus an assisted ejection of the ammunition (7), tire bandage (16) assisted dog (5) and tire return spring (10) assisted.
Après dé verrouillage, l'ensemble mobile (4) est déverrouillé suite à un appui exercé sur la biellette ou levier, assujetti au chien (5) ou à la fourchette (1 1). Il en résulte un débrayage de la détente (6), en interdisant par conséquent le système de percussion.  After unlocking, the mobile assembly (4) is unlocked following a support exerted on the rod or lever, secured to the dog (5) or the fork (1 1). This results in a disengagement of the trigger (6), thus prohibiting the percussion system.
Il ressort de ces caractéristiques que dans le cas d'une carabine semi- automatique, on bloque par le chien (5) ou la fourchette (1 1), l'ensemble mobile, ce qui augmente la sécurité en imposant un arrêt à l'arrière, de sorte que la cartouche n'est pas immédiatement rechambrée. On obtient une temporisation au niveau du chambrage. Le rechambrage devient une action manuelle et volontaire. It follows from these characteristics that in the case of a semi-automatic rifle, the dog (5) or the fork (1 1) is blocked by the moving assembly, which increases the safety by imposing a stop on the rifle. back, so that the cartridge is not immediately rechambered. A delay is obtained at the chambering level. The rechambrage becomes a manual and voluntary action.
