Description

A device for mounting, positioning and fixing an optical sight on an air rifle, of the type formed by a longitudinal support, with means for attaching an optical sight in its upper part, also containing on the rifle a series of longitudinal grooves facing the specified device, characterized in that the said the device includes in its lower part several longitudinal guides adapted for placement in the mentioned grooves of an air rifle.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

It is known in the art that there are optical sights mounted and fitted to air rifles that give users the ability to use and allow the optical capabilities of the optical sight to be used in order to improve the aiming conditions when using the rifle.

To obtain this possibility, air rifles are in many cases adapted for the installation and installation of the said optical sights.

So, in some cases, rifles have several longitudinal grooves in their upper part, while guides of optical sights are inserted into them, allowing the user to move and position the optical sight and fit it to the body of the rifle.

In other cases, the rifles have several threaded holes made in order to be able to screw the device on which the optical sight is mounted directly to the body of the rifle.

In the first case, as well as in the second case, vibration and jolts caused by successive shots with subsequent recoil lead to the sight losing its proper setting, which implies the loss of the rifle's ability to improve the aiming conditions.

Other known problems relate to the fact that there is a need to make rifles of two models, namely: models with the previously mentioned longitudinal grooves and models with several holes for screwing the device to the rifle body.

The prior art documents US 5531039, 07/02/1996 and US 4026055 05/31/1977, revealing typical devices for mounting, positioning and fixing an optical sight on a rifle, having these disadvantages.

The present invention represents significant progress in the field of mounting and mounting optical sights on air rifles.

So, it allows the user to establish and accurately position the optical sight for the correct shooting of the rifle, and easily and effectively use the optical capabilities of the sight using for this purpose the grooves located on the top of the rifle and the specified device.

At the same time, it allows excellent fastening, fixing and fastening between themselves of the optical sight and the device on the rifle body, without the danger of disruption of the target, with vibration and jolts caused by shots, which means there is no loss of advantages that the optical sight provides for improving aiming from the rifle .

In addition, a device of this type allows one model of rifle to be manufactured both for those for which it is preferable to mount the optical sight directly to the rifle, and for those for which it is preferable to mount it on the device (since this is the purpose of the present invention). Since the device uses the grooves on the rifle, the manufacturing option is eliminated, in which, for attaching the optical sight to the rifle, the rifle is drilled in order to fasten this optical sight to the rifle with screws.

The aim of the present invention is to provide a device for mounting, positioning and fixing an optical sight on an air rifle by means of a longitudinal support, with means for fixing an optical sight to its upper part, wherein a number of longitudinal grooves are provided in said rifle facing said device, wherein the device includes in its lower part several longitudinal guides adapted for placement in the said grooves of this pneumatic screw wki.

Preferred Embodiment

Figure 1 shows the device 1 with a longitudinal axis 1 ', the guides 3 of the device 1, the longitudinal cavity 5 of the device 1 and the through holes 6 and the holes 7 of the device 1.

Figure 2 shows the device 1 with the longitudinal axis 1 ', the top of the rifle 2, the guides 3 of the device 1, the grooves 4 of the rifle 2, the longitudinal cavity 5 of the device 1 and the through holes 6 and the holes 7 of the device 1 with the corresponding screws 6' and 7 ' or similar to them.

Figure 3 presents the device 1, the upper part of the rifle 2, the guides 3 of the device 1, the grooves 4 of the rifle 2, the longitudinal cavity 5 of the device 1, the through hole 6 of the device 1 with the corresponding screw 6 'and the optical sight 8.

Figure 4 shows the device 1, the top of the rifle 2, the guides 3 of the device 1, the grooves 4 of the rifle 2, the longitudinal cavity 5 of the device 1, the through holes 6 and the screws 6 'and 7' of the device 1 with the corresponding screw 6 ', and an optical sight 8.

Figure 5 shows the device 1, the upper part of the rifle 2 with the hole 2 ', the longitudinal cavity 5 of the device 1, the screws 6', the hole 7 of the device 1 with the corresponding screw 7 'and the optical sight 8.

The device according to the present invention can, on the one hand, carry an optical sight and, on the other hand, be simultaneously mounted, positioned and mounted on an air rifle, thus being an optical sight mounted on a rifle.

In a preferred embodiment, as can be understood from FIG. 1, the device for mounting and fixing the optical sight on the air rifle is formed by the device 1 with an extended and flat configuration and is designed to be placed on the upper body of the air rifle 2.

For installation and fixing on an air rifle 2, the device 1 includes several longitudinal guides 3 located on the side that comes into contact with the air rifle 2.

The said guides 3 are fitted to the grooves 4 of the air rifle 2, made in such a way as to enable the user to place the device 1 on the air rifle 2 and move it along the rifle to the desired position, as shown in figure 2.

The device 1 has a longitudinal cavity 5 and several transverse passage holes 6, shown in more detail in Fig.3. The through holes 6 intersect the device 1 from one side to the other perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 1 ', intersecting the cavity 5. These passage holes 6 also have a threaded inner surface so that screws 6' can be inserted into them, as shown in more detail on figure 3.

When the screws 6 'are screwed into the bore holes 6, they also intersect the cavity 5, thus intersecting, therefore, the device 1.

When they are tightened, the device 1 is compressed and bent relative to its longitudinal axis 1 'and cavity 5, according to the arrows shown in FIG. 3, thus fixing the guides 3 in the grooves of the air rifle 2 into which they are inserted like brackets. Thus, it is possible to install, fix and fix the device 1 in the desired position on the air rifle 2.

In addition, the device 1 includes an opening 7, a centering device, shown in detail in Fig.4. This hole 7 passes through the device 1 perpendicular to the direction of the transverse passage holes 6, and also has a thread on its inner part, allowing the centering screw 7 'to be screwed into it.

This screw 7, when screwing, crosses the device 1 and is also screwed into another hole 2 'with a thread located on the top of the same air rifle 2. Thus, the device 1 is centered on the air rifle 2.

The device 1 is ready to carry an optical sight 6 in such a way that the latter can remain permanently positioned and mounted on an air rifle 2 using the device according to the invention, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.

Thanks to the device of the invention, the optical sight remains mounted and centered on an air rifle. The special fixation of the device on the air rifle and its intermediate position between the optical sight and this air rifle allows the optical sight not to lose its settings due to vibration and jolts from successive shots of the air rifle and thus preserve its optical advantages, which can improve the conditions for aiming air rifle user.

Although the use of screws 6 ′ and 7 ′ has been mentioned above, the present invention also includes other similar fixing means applicable for the same purposes, such as pins or nails and the like.
