Definitions

  • the invention relates to a locking mechanism of a slide of a weapon, especially of a self-loading pistol, with a stationary barrel mounted fixedly in a frame, on which the slide is mounted displaceably for forward and backward movement.
  • GB 127642A discloses an automatic rifle, the automation of which is based on the use of the energy of the powder gases discharged from the barrel channel.
  • a piston Under the barrel is arranged a piston which moves forward and actuates a mechanism consisting of a complex lever system, telescopic connecting rods, a sliding element, and a row of springs. After a pressure drop in the barrel, the springs stretched by the piston are activated by a locking mechanism to reload the rifle, whereby the locking mechanism first opens and then closes due to the force of the springs.
  • the locking mechanism consists of two parts: the body of the slide and the screw of the slide.
  • the barrel is locked with a screw that rotates around its axis during the firing, and its catches fit into the protrusions of the barrel bushing in which the rifle barrel is mounted.
  • the device is too complicated and cannot be used for self-loading pistols.
  • the important features of the above-mentioned pistols include a high degree of accuracy of shooting, since the barrel is fixedly mounted in the frame of the pistol, as well as the simplicity of the construction.
  • An aim of the invention is to provide a locking mechanism of a slide during the shot of a self-loading pistol having a barrel that is fixedly and non-movably mounted in a frame, which allows to use high-performance cartridges for shooting without increasing the weight of the slide. Additional objects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the following description, or may be obvious from the description, or may be learned through practice of the invention.
  • a locking mechanism of a slide of a weapon whose principle consists in that between the movable slide and the non-movable frame of the weapon under the barrel is arranged a pair of levers which are rotatably connected to each other by a common axis, whereby the common axis of the pair of levers is situated under a line interlaid by the outer axes of rotation of the pair of levers.
  • the energy of the recoil movement strives to reduce the internal angle between the front lever and the rear lever and move their common axis downwards, with the resistive force in the initial phase of the shot resisting inertia force of the slide, the elastic force of the retractable spring, the elastic force of the material of the levers and their connection, the frictional force in the connection, as well as the mounting of the levers. It is only after overcoming these forces that the slide begins to move backwards. This ensures the possibility of shooting with high-performance cartridges, while maintaining low weight of the slide and of the entire weapon.
  • the exact value of the internal angle is determined according to the performance of the projectile and the construction of a specific embodiment of a pistol or another type of a weapon.
  • the pair of levers consists of a rear lever, which is rotatably mounted on the rear axis situated in the front part of the frame under the barrel, and a front lever, which is rotatably mounted on the front axis situated in the front part of the slide under the barrel, whereby the rear lever and the front lever are rotatably connected by a common axis.
  • the internal angle between the rear lever and the front lever may be less than 180°.
  • grippers In order to facilitate the handling of the weapon before the first shot, on either side of the common axis of the rear lever and the front lever are provided grippers to be gripped by the shooter's fingers when pulling the slide.
  • the retractable spring is disposed between the rear lever and the front lever and is formed by two arms, whereby the rear arm leans against the top of the rear lever and the front arm leans against the top of the front lever.
  • the retractable spring is arranged on the common axis of the rear lever and the front lever.
  • the retractable spring is mounted between the rear lever and the front part of the frame of the weapon.
  • the retractable spring is mounted on the barrel, which acts as a guide for the spring, and leans by one end against the frame and by the other end against the slide.
  • the retractable spring may be mounted under the barrel on a separate guide, which is parallel to the barrel, and leans by one end against the frame and by the other end against the front part of the slide.
  • FIG. 1 shows an overall view of the pistol, wherein the position of the components of the locking mechanism of the slide of the pistol are in the starting state before the shot;
  • FIG. 2 shows an overall view of the pistol, wherein with the position of the components of the locking mechanism of the slide of the pistol are shown after the shot and after moving the slide to the rearmost position.
  • the locking mechanism of a slide during shooting according to the invention will be described based on an exemplary embodiment of a pistol.
  • the locking mechanism can be used on shotguns, such as automatic shotguns, automatic rifles, self-loading hunting guns, and machine guns. It is important to note that only the components which are directly connected with the invention and which are shown in the drawing will be described here.

  • a rear axis 6 In the front part of the frame 1 under the barrel 3 is arranged a rear axis 6 , on which a rear lever 5 is, by its rear end, mounted displaceably for rotatable movement with respect to the frame 1 .
  • the rotation of the rear lever 5 with respect to the frame 1 can be realized either by the rotatable mounting of the rear axis 6 on the frame 1 and by the fixed mounting of the rear lever 5 on the rear axis 6 , by the fixed mounting of the rear axis 6 on the frame 1 and by the rotatable mounting of the rear lever 5 on the rear axis 6 , or by the rotatable mounting of the rear axis 6 on the frame 1 by the rotatable mounting of the rear lever 5 on the rear axis 6 .
  • the rear axis 6 may be a part of the frame 1 or of the rear lever 5 .
  • a front axis 8 In the front part of the slide 4 under the barrel 3 is arranged a front axis 8 , on which a front lever 7 is, by its front end, mounted displaceably for rotatable movement with respect to the slide 4 .
  • the rotation of the front lever 7 with respect to the slide 4 can be realized either by the rotatable mounting of the front axis 8 on the slide 4 and by the fixed mounting of the front lever 7 on the front axis 8 , or by the fixed mounting of the front axis 8 on the slide 4 and by the rotatable mounting of the front lever 7 on the front axis 8 , or by the rotatable mounting of the front axis 8 on the slide 4 and by the rotatable mounting of the front lever 7 on the front axis 8 .
  • the front axis 8 may be a part of the slide 4 or the front lever 7 .
  • the free end of the front lever 7 is rotatably connected to the free end of the rear lever 5 by a common axis 9 , which is movable in the space under the barrel 3 and the slide 4 .
  • a common axis 9 On either side at the end of the common axis 9 are provided grippers 91 to be gripped by the shooter's fingers when pulling the slide 4 .
  • On the common axis 9 is also mounted a retractable spring 10 with two arms, whereby the front arm leans against the top of the front lever 7 and the rear arm leans against the top of the rear lever 5 .
  • the common axis 9 is arranged with respect to the barrel 3 under a conceived connecting line of the front axis 8 and the rear axis 6 .
  • the angle directed to the barrel 3 between the rear lever 5 and the front lever 7 will be hereinafter referred to as an internal angle between these two levers 5 and 7 .
  • the arms of the retractable spring 10 lean against the front lever 7 and the rear lever 5 in the direction of the levers 7 , 5 moving away from each other, that is in the direction of the enlargement of the internal angle between the front lever 7 and the rear lever 5 , whereby this internal angle is always less than 180°.
  • the strength of the retractable spring 10 maintains the slide 4 in the front position, acting on the common axis 9 in the direction towards the barrel 3 .
  • the common axis 9 may be a part of the rear lever 5 or the front lever 7 .
  • the retractable spring 10 may be mounted on the rear axis 6 and may lean by one end against the frame 1 and by the other end on the rear arm 5 , its strength acting clockwise, that is in the direction towards the barrel 3 .
  • the retractable spring 10 is arranged on the barrel 3 , which acts as a guide for it, whereby the retractable spring leans by one end against the frame 1 and by the other end against the front part of the slide 4 .
  • the retractable spring is disposed under the barrel 3 on a separate guide, which is parallel to the barrel 3 and leans by one end against the frame 1 and by the other end against the front part of the slide 4 .
  • the grippers 91 arranged on the common axis 9 , which are in the illustrated embodiment formed by knurled knobs, and pull them vigorously downwards and backwards towards the stop and then let go.
  • the rear lever 5 turns on the rear axis 6 anticlockwise and by means of the common axis 9 pulls the front lever 7 downwards and backwards, which, turning on the front axis 8 connected to the front lower part of the slide 4 , pulls the slide 4 backwards.
  • the slide 4 reaches its rearmost position.
  • the retractable spring 10 which leans against the two levers 5 and 7 , is compressed.
  • the retractable spring 10 After releasing the grippers, the retractable spring 10 begins to move the levers 5 and 7 vigorously away from each other.
  • the rear lever 5 rotates around the rear axis 6 mounted in the front part of the non-movable frame 1 , whereby the common axis 9 returns to its initial position and moves towards the barrel 3 .
  • the front lever 7 returns to its initial position and pushes the slide 4 forwards by the pressure through the front axis 8 to its front lower part.
  • the slide 4 in a known manner, pulls the upper projectile from the magazine and feeds it to a cartridge chamber of the barrel 3 of the pistol to perform a shot.
  • the bullet moves under the pressure of the powder gases through the channel of the barrel 3 .
  • the powder gases through the ends of the cartridge casing, push on the slide 4 and pass the energy of the recoil movement to the slide and try to move the slide 4 backwards.
