Description

Field of the invention

The invention relates to a magazine release / holding device of a firearm with a magazine release slide for transferring a magazine holding element from its magazine holding position to its magazine release position and vice versa, wherein at least one side of a handle / housing of the firearm protruding, replaceable actuating handle is provided on the magazine release slide.

In addition, the invention relates to a handle and a weapon housing of a firearm, which are each equipped with such a magazine release / - holding device and a magazine.

State of the art

Magazinlöse - / - holding devices are known in different designs and have the task of keeping a magazine in the magazine shaft of a firearm, for example, by locking, or release again, for example, the magazine change.

In these documents, positional designations such as "top", "bottom", "front", "rear", etc. always refer to a gun kept in normal shooting position, in which the Soul axis runs horizontally and the firing takes place forward from the shooter away.

A magazine, for example, according to NATO standard, includes on its left side a magazine catch. If a shooter has completely inserted such a magazine into the magazine slot of a firearm, a holding pawl arranged in or on the weapon housing of a magazine release / holding device, which is under spring tension, automatically grips into the magazine catch. The magazine is then securely locked in its operating position in the weapon. Such magazine release / - holding devices are used in magazinierten firearms, eg. In rifles, assault rifles, light machine guns, submachine guns and pistols.

To release the magazine, at least one handle is usually provided on the magazine release / holding device. If a contactor actuates the handle, it pulls and / or pushes the retaining pawl out of the magazine catch. As a result, the magazine is released and can be removed from the shooter from the weapon or falls out of the magazine shaft down with normal shooting attitude of the firearm. A shooter can then insert a new magazine in the magazine slot and the magazine locked there again with the retaining pawl.

In a standard NATO magazine, a right-handed shooter normally operates the magazine release / retention devices by means of the handle with the index finger of his right-hand shot hand on the handle. Like the NATO standard magazine, other magazine release / retention devices, seen in the firing direction, are operable only on the right side of a weapon so that left-handers have difficulty handling the magazine release / retention device.

In the meantime, double-sided magazine release / holding devices are known. These are often elaborately constructed and placed on the weapon or the magazine holder, therefore, are dependent on a weapon and are not sufficiently secured against unintentional operation. Therefore, such known solutions often have a bulky construction and are prone to harsh maneuvering or even combat operations with regard to Damage or failure of their parts, for example due to contamination.

US 4,615,134 discloses a magazine release - / - holding device for the actuation of a push button on one side and a pivot lever are provided on the opposite side. The handle is coupled via a pin with a Magazinhaltearm penetrating, elastically mounted bolt. When operated, the handle is supported on the weapon housing and pulls over the coupling the bolt and thus the magazine holding arm against a spring force from the weapon housing in the magazine release position.

The US 4,521,985 shows a gun on both sides operable magazine release / - holding device, the operation of both buttons are provided on both sides.

The US 4,759,144 shows a double-sided magazine release / - holding device, the operation of which on one side a push button and on the opposite side a pivot lever are provided. The pivot lever is pivotable in an elastically mounted cylinder and is supported on a housing-mounted piston-shaped part. When pivoting the pivot lever urges the cylinder against a spring in the magazine release position.

The US 2010/0281736 A1 shows a magazine release / - holding device which is pivotable about a pin as a pivot axis. Trained as a pivot lever L-shaped Magazinlöse - / - holding device is actuated by a double-sided linear slider, which pivots the magazine release / - holding device when left or right side displacement over a lying in a recess of the slide control cam out of engagement with the magazine.

Furthermore, the shows US 2006/0123683 A1 Another double-sided magazine release / - holding device, the magazine holding arm is pivotally mounted on a spring-loaded actuating pin. The magazine release / holding device can be brought out of engagement with the magazine both on the right-hand side by pressing the actuating bolt and on the left-hand side by pivoting the handle.

In addition to these known double-sided magazine release / - holding devices are also such magazine release / - holding devices are known which comprise a slider or pushers, which is either left or right side used, such as the Colt model of 1911. The magazine holder can in the slide be integrated.

Also interchangeable push buttons with different heights are known as essay for the magazine release slide, which are fastened by means of screws on the slider. For example, in the case of the Century Arms Canik TP9 pistol, the slider can be fixed in the grip by means of a spring as in the familiar FN Five Seven. The Century Arms Canik TP9 magazine holder is complicated to handle, especially during assembly and disassembly, as the push button can be removed from the slide only by loosening a screw, exchanged for a push button with a different height and screwed back again.

Task and solution of the invention

Against this background, it is an object of the invention to provide an alternative, structurally simple and functionally reliable magazine release / holding device for firearms.

This object is achieved by the subject-matter of independent claims 1, 13 and 18 and 19, respectively.

The handle and the weapon housing of a firearm are characterized by the fact that they are each equipped with such a magazine release / - holding device. The magazine of the firearm is characterized in that it comprises, in particular on its front side, a stop for the operative engagement with a magazine release / holding device, in particular its retaining element.

Since, according to the invention, the actuating handle, in particular a push button, can be exchanged without tools, a shooter can adapt his weapon to his ergonomics with simple means. In particular, it is not possible due to the different hand sizes of shooters with a standard configuration of magazine release / - holding device to reach the magazine release slide or its push button easily. Often, shooters have to leave their firing position and or even embrace their operation with the shooting hand. The exchangeable actuating handles or push buttons are variable in height and / or width, for example, so that they can be quickly adapted to the ergonomic nature of the respective shooter.

In addition, since the magazine release slider does not need to be completely replaced, but merely the actuating handle or push button, the invention provides a variably usable magazine release / - holding device cost.

The magazine release slide extends transversely to the firing direction and can be operated via the actuating handle. A shooter can transfer the magazine release slide from the magazine holding position to the magazine release position by pressure on the actuating handle or the push button, in which the magazine holding element releases the magazine. For example, the magazine holding member may engage in a recess in the magazine or alternatively include a counter stop surface which engages a nose or protrusion or stop on the magazine, thus preventing it from being pulled down from a firearm from the magazine holding position.

The actuating handle may be provided on one side on the magazine release slide or alternatively also on both sides. Thus, a flexible magazine release / holding device can be provided by simple means.

Advantageously, the individual actuating handles or pushbuttons can be supplied in different lengths and geometries in a pistol set or can be subsequently sold as accessories.

The magazine release - / - holding device according to the invention is functionally reliable and thereby increases the reliability of a stocked with her firearm. The individual parts of the magazine release / holding device can be produced, for example, by known metal casting methods or metal injection molding methods, so-called MIM (Metal Injection Molding) methods, but also, for example, by conventional sintering methods.

The weapon housing or housing or handle in the context of the present invention comprises an integrally formed weapon housing or handle and a multi-part weapon housing, which consists for example of an upper housing part and a lower housing part. The magazine release / holding device is provided there at a suitable position. The housing lower part can be described as a handle module, a handle module with a magazine slot for receiving a magazine, a handle module with a magazine slot and a receptacle for a trigger, a handle module with a receptacle for a trigger and a shoulder rest or a handle module with a magazine slot, a receptacle for be formed a trigger device and a shoulder rest. The handle according to the present invention relates to a handle of firearms.

The actuating handle can be fastened with any suitable means without tools on the magazine release slide, for example, be screwed manually via a thread provided at its outer end.

Preferably, the magazine release slide comprises at least one guide element for guiding at least one counterguide in or on the actuating handle during its assembly and disassembly.

The guide can be, for example, a tongue-and-groove guide or else a dovetail guide or another suitable guide, via which the actuation handle can be pushed onto the magazine release slide or pushed on. For example, the at least one actuating handle or the push button can be connected via a plug-in or sliding connection on the magazine release slide assemble and the shooter so the push button height and or if given width and vote on his hand size.

Preferably, the guide is provided perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the magazine release. This measure allows secure storage of the actuating handle on the magazine release slide.

The actuating handle may also be secured to the magazine release slider via a securing element, for example a pin, a spring or similar suitable means.

Preferably, the actuating handle is secured in the mounted state by the handle / housing against disassembly. Since the actuating handle protrudes only partially from the housing or handle, the recess provided in the handle or housing, which at least partially receives or embraces the actuating handle, prevents their disassembly and then acts as a loss-fuse. With this measure, an additional securing means can be avoided.

Preferably, the magazine release slide can be mounted either to the left or right-hand arrangement and operation of the actuating handle.

For example, the magazine release slider can be rotated by 180 degrees so that the actuating handle can be inserted on the opposite side. This measure provides by simple means a versatile and flexible magazine / holding device that can be used for both left and right-hand shooters.

Alternatively, the magazine release slide can also be operated on both sides by means of actuation handles provided on both sides.

Preferably, the magazine release slide has either a symmetrical or asymmetrical construction, and comprises at least one at least partially recessed connecting cutout for receiving at least a part of the magazine holding element in its magazine holding position.

In the case of a two-sided operability, the magazine release slide on a symmetrical structure. In the case of a left or right-hand operation an asymmetric structure. A shooter can easily see how he has to use the magazine release slide for each right- or left-sided operation.

A partially recessed connecting portion in the magazine release slider accommodates a portion of the magazine holding member, which in turn secures the magazine release slider within the housing or handle.

Preferably, the magazine release slide comprises at least one, in particular ramp-like or wedge-shaped actuating portion, for bringing the magazine holding element out of its magazine holding position into its magazine release position and vice versa when the actuating handle is acted upon.

This measure ensures a triggering of the magazine holding element with structurally simple means. The ramp or wedge section can, for example, act on the magazine holding element in such a way that it pivots and shifts or pivots out of its magazine holding position into its magazine release position. The ramp or wedge section is in addition to the interchangeable actuating handle an indicator for the shooter as he correctly mounted the magazine release slide.

The magazine holding member may be integrally formed on the magazine release slider or provided separately.

Preferably, the magazine release / holding device comprises a magazine holding housing, which supports the magazine holding element pivotably about a bearing axis, in particular between its magazine holding position and magazine release position.

Due to this separation, the magazine holding housing with its magazine holding element and the magazine release slide can be replaced independently.

The magazine holding element may be formed, for example, as a plate-shaped holding element with stop surface. Upon actuation of the ramp-like actuating portion, this can act on the magazine holding member at one end, so that it pivots about the bearing axis.

The magazine holding element can be freely movably mounted in the magazine holding housing.

The magazine holding housing preferably comprises at least one stop element for limiting the movement path of the magazine holding element.

The stop element may be provided, for example, as a bolt, pin or bar, which extends transversely to the movement path of the magazine holding element. This measure prevents overuse of the magazine holding element with simple structural means.

Preferably, the magazine holding element comprises at its end portion a counter stop surface for a stop on the magazine and / or secures in the magazine holding position and the magazine release position with its other end portion of the mounted magazine release slide in the handle.

Thus, by simple means, for example, a nose or a protrusion on the magazine can engage the upper end of a magazine holding element, for example a holding plate.

The lower end portion of the magazine holding member is advantageous for fixing and securing the magazine release slider in the weapon housing.

To disassemble the magazine release slide, the magazine holder housing, and thus its lower end portion, for example, in the handle move upwards, so that the magazine release slide is released.

The magazine holding housing can be screwed, for example, in the inner wall of a handle or gun housing or fastened otherwise suitable.

Preferably, the magazine holder housing comprises at least one holding section with guide portions for mounting / dismounting of the magazine holding housing in the handle / housing, which can be inserted, for example, in counter guide sections in the housing or handle. About the guide sections, the magazine holding housing for mounting / dismounting the magazine release slide can be easily moved up and down.

Preferably, in the holding portion, such as a holding plate, at least one recess or counter-training for coupling with an elastic securing element on or in the handle, in particular its front inner wall, is provided.

The elastic securing element can be produced, for example, as a detent spring plate, in particular made of plastic, and be provided integrally with the handle or housing or fastened there. The securing element may be provided, for example, as a latching nose and / or as a stop and thus advantageously prevents inadvertent removal of the magazine holder housing from the handle or housing.

The magazine catch in the handle engages in the magazine holding position in the latching recess of the magazine holder housing voltage loaded and thus prevents a displacement of the magazine holder housing or the holding plate up in the magazine shaft. In this position of the magazine holder housing, the magazine holder can be actuated laterally by the magazine release button. At the same time the magazine holder prevents a complete lateral pushing out of the magazine release button.

The magazine release / holding device is preferably held biased by an elastic element in its magazine holding position.

As an elastic element may be provided, for example, a spring, a rubber-like or other suitable component such as a compression spring or coil spring. This holds the magazine release / - holding device elastically biased in its magazine holding position. Preferably, the handle on both sides comprises at least one recess for selectively left-side or right-side recording and assembly / disassembly of the magazine release slide.

Such a recess can, for example, subsequently introduce as a bore or create in production as a recess. Since the magazine release slide with its actuating handle or push button in the mounted state only partially protrudes from the handle or weapon housing, and the housing wall or Griffstückwandung fulfills a security function for the replaceable actuating handle, since it engages the push button and secures against falling out.

Preferably, in or on the handle, in particular in the magazine shaft, in particular on the front inside of an elastic securing element for coupling with the Gegenausbildung and / or recess of Magazinlöse- / holding device, in particular of the holding element of the magazine holding housing is provided.

The elastic securing element may be integrally formed in the handle or housing or alternatively be used there. The securing element can be provided, for example, as a detent spring plate, which engages in particular with the recess in the retaining plate of the magazine holder housing. Also, the securing element may be made of a suitable material, such as plastic.

Preferably, the securing element comprises at least one latching lug and / or at least one stop for securing the magazine release / holding device, in particular the holding element in the handle / housing.

The locking lug can engage the recess of the retaining plate and fix it in a predetermined position. Preferably, two detents or Magazinrastnasen are provided which define the magazine holding plate in a first position in which the magazine holding element sets the magazine release slide and sets in a second position in which determines the magazine catch or latch of the magazine holder housing or its holding plate in a disassembly position. The dismantling position For example, it may be offset upwardly to permit removal or assembly of the magazine release slider to the side. The magazine locking stops prevent after disengaging the magazine catch and moving the magazine holder housing in the magazine shaft removal and possibly associated loss of the magazine holder housing with attachments.

After inserting the magazine release slide, the magazine holder housing is pushed in his leadership in the magazine shaft so far down until the second housing latch fixed to the housing again engages in the locking recess of the magazine holder housing. In this position, the magazine holding plate underlies the magazine release slide in the handle.

The gripping piece preferably comprises in its magazine shaft, in particular on its inner front side, at least one guide for receiving and guiding at least one complementary counter-guide section of the magazine release / holding device, in particular of the retaining element.

For example, the guide can be provided as two-sided guide slots, so that the holding element, in particular in plate-like configuration can be easily inserted and guided from above.

To change the magazine, a shooter moves the magazine release slide in the magazine release position in which the magazine holding plate out of engagement with the magazine nose or the stop of the magazine and thus releases the magazine.

Furthermore, the magazine release / holding device is preferably transferable from the magazine holding position into the magazine release position by pressure of a shooter on at least one of the actuating handles, for example the push button.

The pressurization of the actuating handle or the push button is preferably carried out in each case with the thumb of the shot hand located on the handle. Advantageously, the operability on both the left side and the right side ergonomically form for right-handed and left-handed.
