Description
- The present invention relates to a firing device for a gun, which is used for target practice and competitive shooting, said firing device being such, that it activates computer processing of the shot, and said firing device comprising a trigger frame, to which the trigger is attached, and a firing mechanism connected to the trigger, said firing mechanism being such that it fires the gun when the trigger is pressed.
- Guns generally use firing devices which are based on the release of tension created by the sear lever. The tension is spring-loaded. When the trigger is pulled, the firing mechanism cancels out the spring-back factor and also, in some cases, the self-sustaining tension caused by the wedge-shaped form of the sear lever. When the sear lever is released, the trigger lever releases the firing pin, which ignites the detonator, or the air valve or air piston in an air gun. This is what activates the firing process of the gun. Such sear levers wear out from use and maintenance of the firing devices is necessary at certain time intervals.
- The object of the invention is to provide a firing device by which the disadvantages associated with current firing devices will be eliminated. In particular, the object of the invention is to provide a firing device, which is simple in its structure, reliable and advantageous in its costs of use and maintenance.
- The object of the invention is accomplished with a firing device, the characteristics of which are set forth in the claims.
- A firing device formed in accordance with the invention comprises a magnet, a safety lock, which is moved by the trigger, is located near the magnet and is designed to be adjusted by the counterforce device, and a switch or corresponding device, to send an impulse to the computer. In a system of target shooting formed in accordance with the invention, sear levers are not used, instead, after the magnet and safety lock have been engaged, the trigger releases the switch or corresponding device, which activates the computer program that records the information about the shooting The switch can comprise a microswitch or any other device suitable for the purpose, such as a photocell breaker, capacity transducer, acceleration transducer etc. One advantage of the invention is that these firing devices do not use sear levers, which become worn out and therefore require maintenance. A trigger in a firing device formed in accordance with the invention immediately transfers the impulse through the switch to a computer. A microswitch, or other type of switch, has never previously been used for this purpose. The advantage of a firing device formed in accordance with the invention is therefore the longevity of the firing device. Furthermore, the firing device has all of the necessary regulations which are produced with different regulation mechanisms.
- The firing device is cocked for a new shot by a lever especially designed for that purpose, and which is located in the same place as a corresponding cocking lever on a gun normally used as a model. In different firing devices, this lever can be located in some other place.
- The operation of the firing device is based on a safety lock without a sear lever, regulated by a magnet and counterforce, in which case the device is designed to discharge one shot at a time. Furthermore, the gun can be equipped with a cocking apparatus for the firing system, which is a built-in or an externally mounted accessory, and functions by means of an automatic spring, electricity, hydraulics, air pressure or gas in order to imitate the automatic and semi-automatic gun. Furthermore, a firing device formed in accordance with the invention is versatile, in that it can be altered either to have trigger travel, or not to have trigger travel merely by adjusting some screws, and its trigger can be inclined and moved in a longitudinal direction.
- Target practice often consists of several events in which the gun functions automatically or semi-automatically like a submachine gun, assault rifle or semiautomatic pistol. For these events, the firing device contains a return system which returns the firing device to wait for a new shot. This device is needed, because the cocking system for the firing device, which is normally based on the recoil of the gun or gas pressure, is not available.
- In an application of the firing device, in which the firing device imitates a semiautomatic, self-loading gun or a revolver-type gun, the firing device can be adjusted so that it always returns to its initial state as the trigger is being released. This can be accomplished, for example, by removing one spring and a screw from the firing device.
- The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawing in which
- FIG. 1 illustrates schematically a firing device used in a target practice system as seen from the side, and
- FIG. 2 illustrates a device formed in accordance with FIG. 1 as seen from underneath without a return system.
- The firing device for a gun which is used in a system for target practice and competitive shooting formed in accordance with the figures, consists of a gun frame8, to which a
trigger frame 1 is attached, to which atrigger 2 is attached, and of afiring mechanism magnet 3, asafety lock 4, which is moved by the trigger and is designed to be adjusted by thecounterforce device trigger frame 1 and is attached to the frame of the firing device so that it can be moved. Themagnet 3 is located on the firing device or on the gun frame 8 and thesafety lock 4 is fastened to the intermediate lever 7. In some other application, the magnet can be mounted on the intermediate lever and the safety lock on the gun frame. In this application, thesafety lock 4 is a piece of iron or magnet or corresponding piece which can be magnetized so it can be made suitable to act as a magnet mounted on the intermediate lever 7 in place of themagnet 3. Furthermore, the firing device comprises a triggerpull adjustment screw 10, which is located on the back of thetrigger frame 1, more precisely between the trigger frame and the intermediate lever, and a triggertravel adjustment screw 11, as well as aspring 12, all of which help to regulate the trigger weight and travel. In addition, the firing device comprises adjustingscrews counterforce spring 5 and thecounterforce adjusting screw 20 function as the counterforce device. - In another application of the invention, the firing device does not have a separate frame, but instead the frame of the gun also functions as the frame of the firing device. The firing device can also be made without the intermediate lever or its corresponding trigger cradle if the firing device does not require any trigger travel or length adjustment.
- Additionally, the firing device comprises an automatic cocking apparatus9 for the firing mechanism, which is described in FIG. 1. The cocking apparatus consists of a
transfer element 15, which extends as far as the vicinity of the intermediate lever and has been designed to return the intermediate lever to its initial position after the shot. - When the gun has been cocked, a pull of the
trigger 2 moves the intermediate lever 7 via the triggertravel adjustment screw 11 located on the back of thetrigger frame 1, and the intermediate lever 7 works to detach theholding magnet 3 in the frame of the firing device from thecounter magnet 4 in the intermediate lever. When the tension grows sufficiently great, the bond between the frame 8 of the firing device and the intermediate lever 7, maintained by the magnets, is suddenly released, and this contact now corresponds to the movement of the sear lever of a firing device of a conventional gun. When released, the intermediate lever 7 presses the microswitch 6, which sends an electric impulse to the computer by means of aconnector 16. When the gun has been fired, it can be cocked by returning the levers and the trigger to their initial positions with a lever which affects thecenter pin - Alternatively, the cock can be returned automatically immediately after the shot by the force resulting from the magnetic actuator in the application illustrated in the figure In this application, the return impulse is given by an electric impulse, which is guided by the microswitch6. The fire rate of an automatic gun can be imitated by using a timer, which, for example, allows for a time of 0.08 seconds between shots for an assault rifle.
- The different functions of the firing device can be versatilely regulated by the adjusting screws of the firing device. Regulating is carried out as follows:
- The firing force is adjusted by a
screw 20, which is attached to the intermediate lever and is partly situated between the intermediate lever and the part on the side of themagnet 3 of the firing device. When the screw is loosened, thecounterforce spring 5 inside it will slacken and the firing force increases. Accordingly, when the screw is tightened, the firing force decreases. - The trigger
travel adjustment screw 11 is located on the back of the trigger frame on the back-side of the trigger and it extends out from the trigger frame to the intermediate lever. By tightening this screw, the distance of the trigger travel becomes shorter. - The amount of trigger pull is adjusted by means of a
screw 10, which is mounted on the back of the trigger frame on the back side of the trigger and it extends out from the trigger frame to the intermediate lever. There is also aspring 12 around it. The pull increases when thescrew 10 is tightened, which tightens thespring 12. - The overtravel is regulated by the adjusting
screw 13 on the trigger frame, in front of the trigger so that overtravel will be as short as possible. Overtravel gets shorter when the screw is tightened. The distance of the retaining movement of the trigger is regulated with the adjustingscrew 14 on the front part of the trigger frame. The return movement of the trigger becomes shorter when the screw is tightened, and longer when the screw is loose. - The screw22, which is placed in the vertical slot on the trigger frame, connects the
trigger 2. The screw in question can also be used for regulating the longitudinal position and the inclination of the trigger. - Basic Regulations of the Firing Device
- Before starting to regulate the firing device, a choice between the shot types, a shot with trigger travel or without trigger travel, must be made. Before the gun is initially adjusted, the tightened screw of the trigger has to be loosened and the trigger moved to its forward position and then the retaining screw of the trigger is tightened.
- Shot Without Trigger Travel, i.e. Hunting Shot
- The trigger
pull adjustment screw 10 and thespring 12 are removed and the triggertravel adjustment screw 11 should be properly loosened, about 1-2 rounds. It is also possible to carry out the adjustment without removing the parts mentioned above, by merely loosening the screws, but adjustments made by means of a screw key require a more sensitive touch. Now the trigger will move a short distance freely. After this, the triggertravel adjustment screw 11 is tightened so that the trigger remains unmoved, and does not move the intermediate lever 7 as it stays in place. If necessary, the overtravel can still be decreased with thescrew 13. Finally, the safety lock is adjusted with the adjustingscrew 20. According to recommendations, the safety lock for a hunting shot should be about 15-25 N. - Shot with Trigger Travel, i.e. Shot in Competitive Shooting
- Trigger travel can be created in two different ways. In the first way, the trigger travel and firing force together create the firing resistance. In that case, the spring touches the holding pin which is attached to the frame of the firing device. Such a firing device does not have a safety screw. In the second case, increasing the trigger travel decreases the firing resistance of the last part of the pull of the trigger. In that case, the counterforce screw is adjusted to the intermediate lever. Accordingly, in this case, there is no holding pin. First, the desired trigger travel type is chosen and the required safety screw or holding pin is mounted in its place. Then trigger
travel spring 12 is mounted. It is worthwhile to adjust the trigger travel starting from the long and light trigger travel setting, which can be obtained by loosening the trigger travel spring tension with thescrew 10 and by the triggertravel adjustment screw 1 1. When these measures have been taken, the free movement of the trigger will be controlled appropriately for each case by means of the adjusting screws 14 and 11. Finally, trigger travel is regulated according to type with thescrew 10 and the safety resistance with thescrew 20. Trigger travel should not surpass 50% of the total firing resistance. Thus, this becomes a question of the personal preference of the person shooting, but the firing device functions in the best way when the portion of the trigger travel resistance is not too high in proportion to the total resistance. The force of the shot with trigger travel can be adjusted by regulating the springs within the range of 2-20 N. At the least, trigger travel can be about 0.5 N. - In an application of the firing device in which the firing device imitates a semi-automatic, self-loading gun or a revolver-type gun, the
screw 20 and the spring underneath it are removed from the firing device. In this case, the firing device always returns to its initial state as the trigger is being released. - The invention is not limited to the advantageous application set forth in this patent application. The invention is versatile and its form may vary within the frames of the idea of the invention put forth in the claims.
