Definitions

  • the object of the present invention is to use the grip of the ring with broken threads to transport the barrel, to put it into position on the firearm and to lift it off easily.
  • a ring on which a grip is arranged, is screwed onto an extension of the barrel containing the chamber and carries an external broken thread engaging into a corresponding inside thread of the breach case of the firearm.
  • the external thread on the ring has a pitch slightly greater than that of the thread between the ring and the This fastening means allows a very strong attachment to be obtained even if the barrels are not strictly identical and it consequently permits relatively large constructional tolerances.
  • the ring is provided with a springpressed pawl co-operating with stop notches provided on the breech case.
  • the invention provides on the vertical face of the frame situated in front of the ring an abutment operable on at the end of the opening motion of the ring to push the barrel forward.
  • the frame and the barrel are provided with sliding plane faces serving for facilitating the introduction of the barrel; this frame is also provided with a fork which 5 surrounds the barrel towards the forward part of the gas cylinder, said fork being provided with two fiat sides which cooperate with two lateral fiat sides belonging to the barrel.
  • Fig. 1 is an exterior view of a machine gun provided with a barrel fastening means according to the invention.
  • Fig. 2 is an enlarged view of a part of Fig. 1 in partial section.
  • Fig. 3 is an enlarged plan view of a part of Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 4 is a rear view of the barrel.
  • Fig. 5 is a front view of the breech case.
  • the barrel i8 is provided at its rear part with an extension la in which the chamber 53 is provided.
  • This barrel extension [8a is engaged with sliding-friction into the forepart of the breech box 23 and is provided with a screw thread 3i on which is threadedly mounted a ring 35 provided with an external interrupted screw thread 36 comprising two parts which are diametrally opposed.
  • an internal screw thread 31 which corresponds to the thread 36; and besides, apertures 38 diametrally opposed are provided in order to allow the introduction of the screw threaded parts 36 of the ring 35.
  • this external screw thread 3'6 of the ring is slightly greater than that of the inside screw thread 34 and consequently by rotating the ring 35 the bearing face 39 of the barrel is strongly pressed against the corresponding face of the forepart of the breech box.
  • the ring 35 is connected to a handle it! by means of a rod 45 along which slides a spring-pressed pawl 4
  • This handle serves for rotating the ring and for the carriage either of the barrel alone or the automatic rapid fire gun with its barrel.
  • the pawl 41 has an abutment 42 cooperating with ratchet notches or grooves 43 provided in the lateral outside face of the breech box. These grooves avoid the accidental unlocking of the ring whatever the final position of the abutment 42 of the pawl 4
  • a groove 44 is provided upon the forepart of the breech box in such a place that when the abutment 42 is in register with this groove the outside screw thread 36 of the ring is disengaged from the inside screw thread. 3'1 of the breech box, that is to say the barrel is ready for lateral disconnection.
  • a small inclined abutment 46 is provided on the forepart of the breech box and the rod along which slides the pawl 4! presses against this abutment to produce the for- Ward motion of the barrel.
  • a double guide comprising lateral fiat sides 41 on the forepart of the barrel. These flat sides frictionally cooperate with a fork 43 provided near the end of the gas cylinder to ensure a correct positioning of the barrel when setting it in place in the breech.
  • a sliding plane face 49 is provided towards the forepart of the gas cylinder and cooperates with a corresponding plane face of the barrel; besides, towards the rear part of the barrel is provided another plane face 50 which slides on the upper end of the ribs 5
  • a machine gun or similar firearm comprising a barrel provided with an extension at the breech end thereof, a breech casing provided with a socket to receive said extension, said socket having a portion of larger diameter than said barrel extension provided with broken internal screw threads, the external surface of said barrel extension having continuous screw threads formed thereon, a ring threadedly mounted on said barrel extension, said ring having broken threads on the exterior thereof adapted to cooperate with the broken threads in said socket to permit axial insertion of the ring in said socket and to retain the ring therein upon relative rotary movement between the ring and socket, a carrying and actuating handle on said ring, the exterior surface of said breech casing having a series of notches formed thereon, and a pawl mounted. on said handle and adapted to engage one of said notches on the exterior of the breech casing to secure the ring in adjusted rotary positions.
  • a machine gun or similar firearm comprising a barrel provided with an extension at the breech end thereof, a breech casing provided with a socket to receive said extension, said socket having a portion of larger diameter than said barrel extension provided with broken internal screw threads, the external surface of said barrel extension having continuous screw threads formed thereon, a ring threadedly mounted on said barrel extension, said ring having broken threads on theexterior thereof adapted to cooperate with the broken threads in said socket to permit axial insertion of the ring in said socket and to retain the ring therein upon relative rotary movement between the ring and socket, the broken threads of the ring and socket being of a pitch greater than that of the continuous thread of the barrel extension and ring, a carrying and actuating handle on said ring, the exterior surface of said breech casing having a series of notches formed thereon, and a pawl mounted on said handle and adapted to engage one of said notches on the exterior of the breech casing to secure the ring in adjusted rotary positions.
