The object of the present invention was to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art and to provide an improved grip assembly for a handgun, as well as a handgun equipped with the grip assembly.

This task is achieved by a handle assembly and a handgun according to the claims.

• ein Griffstückoberteil, wobei das Griffstückoberteil eine Schlittenführung zur Aufnahme einer Schlittenbaugruppe aufweist, wobei das Griffstückoberteil einen Magazinaufnahmeraum zur Aufnahme eines Magazines aufweist, wobei der Magazinaufnahmeraum eine Magazineinführrichtung definiert, wobei im Gebrauchszustand der Handfeuerwaffe das Magazin in Magazineinführrichtung in den Magazinaufnahmeraum einschiebbar ist;
• ein Griffstückunterteil, wobei das Griffstückunterteil in der Magazineinführrichtung auf das Griffstückoberteil aufschiebbar und mit diesem koppelbar ist;
• ein Arretiermechanismus zum Koppeln des Griffstückunterteils mit dem Griffstückoberteil. Der Arretiermechanismus umfasst ein baulich eigenständig ausgebildetes Arretierelement, wobei das Arretierelement einen Anlagevorsprung aufweist, welcher formschlüssig in das Griffstückunterteil eingreift und wobei das Arretierelement einen Arretiervorsprung aufweist, welcher formschlüssig in das Griffstückoberteil eingreift.

According to the invention, a grip assembly is designed for a handgun. The handle assembly includes:

• an upper part of the handle, the upper part of the handle having a slide guide for receiving a slide assembly, the upper part of the handle having a magazine receiving space for receiving a magazine, the magazine receiving space defining a magazine insertion direction, wherein in the use state of the handgun, the magazine can be inserted into the magazine receiving space in the magazine insertion direction;
• a lower part of the handle, wherein the lower part of the handle can be pushed onto the upper part of the handle in the magazine insertion direction and can be coupled to it;
• a locking mechanism for coupling the lower part of the handle with the upper part of the handle. The locking mechanism comprises a structurally independent locking element, wherein the locking element has a contact projection which engages in a form-fitting manner in the lower part of the handle and wherein the locking element has a locking projection which engages in a form-fitting manner in the upper part of the handle.

The handle assembly according to the invention has the advantage that by means of the structurally independent locking element, the lower handle part can be coupled to the upper handle part as rigidly as possible and yet relatively easily detachable. In particular, a stable connection between the lower part of the handle and the upper part of the handle can be achieved by the locking element. Thus, the handle assembly can be easily adapted to different users.

The locking projection in the sense of this document can be any structural design which serves to form a positive connection with the upper part of the handle and can thus absorb forces acting in the magazine insertion direction.

The contact projection in the sense of this document can be any structural design which serves to form a positive connection with the lower part of the handle and can thus absorb forces acting in the magazine insertion direction.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the locking element is designed to be flexible, so that the locking projection is displaceable or bendable relative to the contact projection.

Furthermore, it can be expedient if the locking element is designed in the form of a leaf spring, which has a spring base and a spring arm, the contact projection being arranged on the spring base and the locking projection being arranged on the spring arm, the spring arm being designed to be elastically bendable. In particular, a locking element in the form of a leaf spring can have a simple structure and, at the same time, have good functionality.

Furthermore, it can be provided that a locking recess is formed in the upper part of the handle, into which the locking projection engages, the locking recess extending to the magazine receiving space, the locking projection being releasable from the magazine receiving space. Particularly with a handle assembly designed in this way, the lower part of the handle can be easily removed from the upper part of the handle. Through these measures, in particular that the locking projection is detachable from the magazine receiving space, it can be achieved that the locking projection can only be released when there is no magazine in the magazine receiving space.

In an alternative embodiment variant, it can be provided that a locking lug is formed in the upper part of the handle and that a window is formed in the locking element, into which the locking lug engages, the locking projection being formed by an upper edge of the recess in the locking element.

In particular, it can be provided that the locking lug has a locking ramp. The locking ramp can serve to ensure that when the lower part of the handle is joined to the upper part of the handle, the locking element can be pushed over the locking lug until the locking lug engages in the window.

In addition, it can be provided that a receiving space for receiving the locking element is formed in the lower part of the handle, the receiving space being delimited by an outer shell of the lower part of the handle and an intermediate wall of the lower part of the handle that delimits the magazine receiving space. This has the advantage that the locking element can be positioned in a suitable position on the lower part of the handle so that it is not accessible from the outside when installed or when using the handgun.

Also advantageous is an embodiment according to which it can be provided that a battery receptacle is formed in the receiving space or on the locking element, which serves to accommodate a battery for powering the handle assembly or other power-supplied elements of the handgun. In this way, a power supply to the handle assembly or, for example, energy consumers mounted on the handle, such as a light or a shot counter, can be achieved in a relatively simple manner in order to provide the handle assembly with additional functionality. In particular, these measures allow the accumulator to be stored well and easily replaceable in the handle assembly.

According to a further development, it is possible for the receiving space in the lower part of the handle to be arranged on the back of the handle. Particularly on the back of the handle, the receiving space can be well integrated into the handle assembly or into the lower part of the handle, while at the same time the external shape of the handle assembly is not negatively influenced by the provision of the receiving space and can therefore be adapted to the ergonomic requirements in an improved manner.

Furthermore, it can be expedient if a further spring arm is formed on the locking element in the area of the locking projection, the further spring arm being supported on an outer shell of the lower part of the handle. This measure can increase the holding force of the locking element on the upper part of the handle.

In an alternative embodiment variant, it can be provided that a spring element is formed in the upper part of the handle or in the lower part of the handle, which acts on the locking element. The locking projection can be pressed into a corresponding counter element in the upper part of the handle by the spring element. The spring element can be designed in the form of a leaf spring or in the form of a coil spring.

In addition, it can be provided that a support element is formed on the locking element in the area of the contact projection, the support element being supported on an outer shell of the lower part of the handle. This has the advantage that the locking element can be received in a form-fitting manner in the lower part of the handle by means of the support element. This means that unwanted movements of the locking element relative to the lower part of the handle, such as a loose fit, can be largely prevented.

In particular, it can be provided that a first support element and a second support element are formed on the locking element in the area of the contact projection, the first support element and the second support element having a different shape.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the support element is formed on the spring base opposite the contact projection.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the upper part of the handle has a stop, wherein in the upper part of the handle a hollow cylinder section is formed which completely surrounds the magazine receiving space and extends between a lower edge of the upper part of the handle and the stop, the lower part of the handle having an insertion space in which the hollow cylinder section is accommodated, whereby an upper edge of the lower part of the handle rests on the circumferential stop of the upper part of the handle. This measure allows a stable connection between the upper part of the handle and the lower part of the handle to be achieved. In particular, through these measures, tilting moments and forces acting on the upper part of the handle can be easily transferred to the lower part of the handle. Furthermore, can Through this measure, the upper part of the handle has the smallest possible height extension, so that a disassembled handgun can have the smallest possible spatial extension. In particular, this measure makes it conceivable that the lower part of the handle can simply be pushed onto the upper part of the handle in the magazine insertion direction. Through the stop, an exact positioning of the lower part of the handle relative to the upper part of the handle can be achieved.

In particular, it can be provided that a gripping surface on which a user holds the handgun is largely formed on the lower part of the handle. The interchangeable lower part of the handle can thus be easily adapted to the respective user, in particular to the shape and size of his hand. This allows the handling and ergonomics of the handgun to be improved.

In addition, it can be provided that over 60%, preferably over 70%, in particular over 80% of the circumferential stop is arranged in a stop plane.

According to a special embodiment, it is possible for a guide groove to be formed on an outer lateral surface of the hollow cylinder section, which extends in the magazine insertion direction, with a guide projection being formed on an inner lateral surface of the lower part of the handle, which corresponds to the guide groove. This measure can improve the stability of the connection between the upper part of the handle and the lower part of the handle.

According to an advantageous development, it can be provided that a left guide groove is formed on a left side of the hollow cylinder section, and that a right guide groove is formed on a right side of the hollow cylinder section, with a left guide projection being formed on a left side of the lower part of the handle, which with corresponds to the left guide groove and a right guide projection is formed on a right side of the lower part of the handle, which corresponds to the right guide groove. This measure can improve the stability of the connection between the upper part of the handle and the lower part of the handle.

In particular, it can be advantageous if the upper part of the handle has a receiving block in the area of the lower edge for a return spring of a magazine holder, the receiving block is designed to protrude downwards relative to the lower edge, with a recess for receiving the receiving block being formed in the lower part of the handle. This measure allows the return spring of the magazine holder to be positioned easily and functionally in the upper part of the handle.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the locking element has a fastening tab which has a fastening hole. Using the fastening tab, the handgun can be easily secured to the user via the locking element inserted into the handgun.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the fastening tab is arranged on the spring base.

In addition, it can be provided that a locking lug is formed on a front side of the lower part of the handle, which corresponds to a locking recess in the upper part of the handle. This measure can improve the stability of the connection between the upper part of the handle and the lower part of the handle.

In particular, it can be provided that the lower handle part 7 is detachably coupled to the upper handle part 6 is, the slide guide 12 being designed to accommodate the slide assembly 2 on the upper part of the handle 6.

How out Fig. 1 Particularly clearly visible, it can be provided that the lower part of the handle 7 has such a large extent that the handgun 1 is gripped largely or almost exclusively on the lower part of the handle 7. With this measure, the lower part of the handle 7 can be exchanged for the upper part of the handle 6 in order to be able to adapt the handgun 1 for use by different users. Furthermore, such a division between the upper part of the handle 6 and the lower part of the handle 7 can ensure that the handgun 1 has a small height extension in the disassembled state, in particular when the lower part of the handle 7 is removed. This allows the transportability of the handgun 1 to be improved.

In particular, it can be provided that the upper part of the handle 6 is designed in the form of an injection-molded part made of plastic. Furthermore, it can be provided that the lower handle part 7 is designed in the form of an injection-molded part made of plastic.

The handgun 1, in particular the slide assembly 2 and the handle assembly 3, can of course include other common components known to those skilled in the art, such as a trigger, etc., although reference is made here to general specialist knowledge and these components are therefore not described separately for the sake of clarity.

Fig. 2 shows the handle assembly 3 of the handgun 1 in a perspective sectional view along section line II-II in Fig. 1 , whereby the same reference numbers or component names are used for the same parts as in the previous one Fig. 1 be used. In order to avoid unnecessary repetitions, please refer to the detailed description in the previous section Fig. 1 pointed out or referred to.

In Fig. 2 the magazine receiving space 8 of the upper part of the handle 6 or the magazine passage 11 of the lower part of the handle 7 is clearly visible. The extension of the magazine insertion direction 10 is also in Fig. 2 clearly visible. How out Fig. 2 Furthermore, it can be seen that a locking mechanism 13 is designed, which can be used for releasably coupling the lower part of the handle 7 with the upper part of the handle 6.

The locking mechanism 13 can include a structurally independent locking element 14. The locking element 14 can have a contact projection 15, which can engage in a form-fitting manner in the lower part of the handle 7. In particular, it can be provided that the lower handle part 7 has a contact recess 16 corresponding to the contact projection 15. The contact projection 15 can rest on the contact recess 16.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the locking element 14 has an elongated extension and extends in the magazine insertion direction 10 to the upper part of the handle 6. Furthermore, it can be provided that the locking element 14 has a locking projection 17, which engages in a form-fitting manner in the upper part of the handle 6. In particular, it can be provided that a locking recess 18 is formed in the upper part of the handle 6, into which the locking projection 17 engages.

The locking element 14 can be designed in the form of a leaf spring, which has a spring base 19 and an adjoining spring arm 20. In particular, it can be provided that the contact projection 15 is formed on the spring base 19. Furthermore, it can be provided that the locking projection 17 is formed on the spring arm 20. Due to the elasticity of the spring arm 20, it can be bent. As a result, the locking projection 17 can be displaced relative to the spring base 19, whereby the locking projection 17 can be moved out of the locking recess 18 if necessary in order to enable the lower part of the handle 7 to be released from the upper part of the handle 6.

Furthermore, it can be provided that a further spring arm 21 is arranged in the area of the locking projection 17. The further spring arm 21 can be supported on an outer shell 22 of the lower part of the handle 7. In particular, it can be provided that the locking projection 17 is pressed into the locking position by the spring force of the spring arm 20 and additionally by the spring force of the further spring arm 21.

In particular, it can be provided that in the assembled state of the handle assembly 3, as in Fig. 2 is shown, the spring arm 20 and the further spring arm 21 are under pretension. This can be achieved in that, in the unloaded state of the locking element 14, the spring arm 20 has a slight curvature in the direction in which the locking projection 17 is arranged. In addition, the additional spring arm 21 have such a long length that when installed it is as shown Fig. 2 is slightly pre-bent.

Furthermore, it can be provided that an intermediate wall 23 is formed in the lower part of the handle 7. The intermediate wall 23 can be used to rest the locking element 14. Furthermore, it can be provided that the contact recess 16 is arranged on the intermediate wall 23.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the intermediate wall 23 and the outer shell 22 form or delimit a receiving space 24, which serves to receive the locking element 14. In other words, the intermediate wall 23 can separate the receiving space 24 from the magazine feedthrough 11.

Furthermore, a first support element 25 can be formed on the spring base 19 opposite the contact projection 15. The first support element 25 can rest against the outer shell 22 of the lower handle part 7 when the locking element 14 is inserted. Furthermore, a second support element 26 can be formed, which can be arranged parallel to the first support element 25. How out Fig. 2 Furthermore, it can be seen that additional support elements are formed on the locking element 14.

The support elements 25, 26 can have a rib-like shape and can be arranged at right angles to the longitudinal extent of the locking element 14 or to the magazine insertion direction 10. In addition, the support elements 25, 26 can extend in a transverse direction of the handgun 1. In particular, it can be provided that the support elements 25, 26 are designed such that the spring base 19 of the locking element 14 is clamped or received in a form-fitting manner between the outer shell 22 and the intermediate wall 23 of the lower part of the handle 7. This measure allows the functionality of the spring element 14 to be improved. In addition, the penetration of foreign bodies or dirt from below into the receiving space 24 can be made more difficult.

In an alternative embodiment, it is possible to design at least some of the support elements 25, 26 parallel to the longitudinal extent of the locking element 14. In this way, space can be created in the receiving space 24 for, for example, an accumulator 59, as also shown below in the description of the figures Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 described in more detail. In In such an embodiment, the locking element 14 can thus serve as a holder for the accumulator 59, such as button cells, AAA batteries, or even specially shaped rechargeable batteries.

How out Fig. 2 Furthermore, it can be seen that the receiving space 24 is arranged on the back of the handle 27. Furthermore, it can be provided that a fastening tab 28 is formed on the locking element 14. The fastening tab 28 can have a fastening hole 29. In particular, it can be provided that the fastening tab 28 is arranged adjacent to the spring base 19. How out Fig. 2 As can be seen, it can be provided that the fastening tab 28 protrudes from the receiving space 24 and is therefore accessible from the outside. The fastening tab 28 can be used to grip the locking element 14 and thus to remove the locking element 14. The fastening hole 29 can also be used to fasten or secure the handgun 1 to the user.

Fig. 3 shows a perspective view of the upper part of the handle 6, with the same reference numbers or component names as in the previous ones for the same parts Figures 1 and 2 be used. In order to avoid unnecessary repetitions, please refer to the detailed description in the previous sections Figures 1 and 2 pointed out or referred to.

Fig. 4 shows a perspective view of the lower part of the handle 7, with the same reference numbers or component names as in the previous ones for the same parts Figures 1 to 3 be used. In order to avoid unnecessary repetitions, please refer to the detailed description in the previous sections Figures 1 to 3 pointed out or referred to.

At this point it should be noted that in the illustration Fig. 4 For the sake of clarity, the lower handle part 7 is shown rotated by 180 ° about the vertical axis or the magazine insertion direction 10. The back of the handle 27 is thus shown Fig. 3 on the right side and in the illustration Fig. 4 on the left. The further description of the handle assembly 3 is based on a synopsis of the Fig. 1 to 4 .

How out Fig. 3 As can be seen, it can be provided that the upper part of the handle 6 has a circumferential stop 30. In particular, it can be provided that a hollow cylinder section 31 is formed on the upper part of the handle 6, which extends from a lower edge 32 of the upper part of the handle 6 to the circumferential stop 30.

The hollow cylinder section 31 can have an outer surface 34. Furthermore, it can be provided that the lower handle part 7 has an insertion space 35 into which the hollow cylinder section 31 of the upper handle part 6 can be inserted. In particular, it can be provided that the insertion space 35 of the lower part of the handle 7 has an inner surface 36. In the coupled state of the upper handle part 6 and the lower handle part 7, the outer lateral surface 34 of the hollow cylinder section 31 can rest on the inner lateral surface 36 of the lower handle part 7. A positive connection between the upper handle part 6 and the lower handle part 7 can thus be achieved. Furthermore, it can be provided that in the assembled state an upper edge 37 of the lower handle part 7 rests on the stop 30 of the upper handle part 6. Thus, the position of the lower handle part 7 can be defined relative to the upper handle part 6 in the magazine insertion direction 10. How out Fig. 3 As can be seen, it can be provided that the stop 30 is largely arranged in a stop plane 38. Preferably on the front side of the handle 39, the stop 30 can have a gradation.

In particular, it can be provided that a left locking lug 40 and a right locking lug 41 are formed on the handle front 39 of the handle bottom part 7. Correspondingly, a left locking recess 42 and a right locking recess 43 can be arranged on a handle front side 39 of the handle top part 6. For a comparison, see the sectional view in Fig. 7 .

Due to the perspective view in Fig. 3 the right locking recess 43 is not visible in this view. Like from the Fig. 4 and 7 As can be seen, it can be provided that the locking lugs 40, 41 are arranged in the area of the upper edge 37 of the lower part of the handle 7. Furthermore, the locking recesses 42, 43 can be arranged in the area of the stop 30 of the upper part 6 of the handle.

How out Fig. 3 Furthermore, it can be seen that the locking recess 18 is arranged in the hollow cylinder section 31. The locking recess 18 can be the outer surface 34 of the hollow cylinder section 31 penetrate and extend to the magazine receiving space 8. In particular, it can be provided that the locking recess 18 has a recess width 44 and a recess height 45. The locking recess 18 can therefore have a rectangular cross section.

How out Fig. 3 As can be seen, it can be provided that the hollow cylinder section 31 has an intermediate wall extension 46 between the lower edge 32 and the locking recess 18, which can have an increased wall thickness. The intermediate wall extension 46 can have the same wall thickness as the intermediate wall 23 of the lower handle part 7. The intermediate wall extension 46 can thus be designed flush with the intermediate wall 23 or rest against it.

How out Fig. 3 Furthermore, it can be seen that a left guide groove 47 and a right guide groove 48 are formed on the outer surface 34 of the hollow cylinder section 31.
