United States Patent 6 Claims. in. 42-50 This invention relates to magazines for automatic firearms in which a plurality of cartridges which are not.
coupled together, i.e. unbelted cartridges, are stored. Magazines of this kind are generally furnished with a spring-loaded, feed device by means of which the cartridges are fed to the loading device, i.e. the breech block or bolt of the firearm. To this end, the magazine has a mouthpiece which is insereted in a corresponding opening in the firearm.
The types of flat magazines of this kind heretofere known have not always met the increasing demands for higher rates of fire, and stoppages have occurred in the feed of the cartridges. In order to increase the feed rate required by higher fire rates, the magazine spring was first strengthened. The result of this, however, was that the loading process was prejudiced owing to rebound of the cartridges and, furthermore, due to the cartridges striking the lips of the mouthpiece, deformation occurred and this also resulted in loading stoppages.
For those reasons, strengthening of the magazine spring was abandoned and instead the magazine was fitted with an accelerating arrangement adapted to be tensioned by the magazine spring in opposition to the pressure of a return spring. Thus, the side walls of the magazine were equipped with elastically resilient portions above the mouthpiece.
The present invention relates to a magazine for automatic firearms having an accelerating arrangement for the cartridges in which the accelerating arrangement consists of one or more members projecting through the side walls of the magazine into the interior of the latter.
Preferably, the accelerating member or members consist of an angular lever or levers pivotable about an axis or axes located parallel to the axes of the cartridges, the or each lever having a bent end projecting into the interior of the magazine.
Further details of an embodiment of the invention will now be explained in the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings, of'which:
FIGURE 1 is a side elevation partly in section is an end elevation on a larger scale and also partly in section,
FIGURE 2 is an end elevation on a large scale also partly in section.
FIGURE 3 is a cross sectional view of one end of the magazine showing modified springs, and
FIGURE 4 is a cross sectional view showing further modified springs.
Rferring to the drawings, the magazine 1 has at its lower end a mouthpiece 2 which is inserted in a corresponding opening in the firearm (not shown). Arranged in the magazine in a row one above the other are the cartridges 3, the lowest one of which, to be introduced first into the firearm, rests on lips or abutments 4 formed at the lower end of the mouthpiece. From the position shown, the lowermost cartridge is introduced into the barrel by the breech block or bolt of the firearm in known manner. The cartridges are fed to the mouth piece and thereby to the firearm by a magazine spring 5 arranged in the upper part of the magazine. This spring is arranged in a box-like frame 6 forming part of the magazine platform and guided so as to be longitudinally slidable in the magazine.
ddfidfldfi Patented Apr. 27, 1965 In the region of the mouthpiece there is provided, in one side wall of the magazine, an aperture 7 through which extends the inturned arm 9 of a lever 8. The lever 8 consists of a U-shaped sheet-metal pressing whose limbs 8' extend outwardly from the magazine and is pivotally mounted on a pin 10 held parallel to the side wall of the magazine in a bearing bracket 11 mounted on the side wall. By means of a coil spring 12 mounted on the pin 10 the lever 8 is held under tension in the position illustrated in FIGURE 2, in which position the arm 9 projects into the interior of the magazine, the depth of penetration a being limited by a stop 15.
The lever 8 serves as an accelerating element when the cartridges are fed to the firearm. When the bottom cartridge resting on the lips 4 is pushed out of the magazine by the breech block or bolt of the firearm and is introduced into the barrel of the former, the rest of the cartridges contained in the magazine are driven forward towards the mouthpiece by the magazine spring 5. As will be seen from FIGURE 2, during that process the lever 8 is urged outwardly by the cartridge immediately above the arm 9 under the pressure of the magazine spring and in opposition to the restoring force of the spring 12. After the cartridge has passed the end 13 of the arm 9, the lever 8 springs back, imparting to the cartridge a slight additional accelerating impulse, whereby the cartridge is moved more rapidly towards the mouthpiece. The accelerating impulse, however, is not so strong that deformation of the lips 4 occurs. The magnitude of the supplementary energy delivered can be varied by altering the depth of penetration a of the arm 9 into the magazine. Furthermore, by suitably shaping the arm 9 or varying the force of the spring 12, it is possible to adapt the accelerating impulse to given conditions, for example the mass of the cartridge or the desired fire rate.
Furthermore, owing to the arrangement and design of the accelerating lever 8 described above, a self-checking action is obtained in that rebound movements of the accelerated cartridges are intercepted by the lever. To obtain a self-checking action of this kind, a certain minimum depth of penetration a of the accelerating lever is required, which is advantageously about one quarter of the diameter of the cartridge. An optimum selfchecking action is obtained when the end 13 of the arm 9 is so formed and the pivot pin 14 of the lever is so located that the point of contact 14 between the acceler-' ated cartridge and the arm 9 lies Within the angle which is formed by the longitudinal axis X of the magazine and line Y drawn through the longitudinal axis of the cartridge and through the pivotal axis of the pin 10.
Only one accelerating lever is illustrated in the drawing. This may be sufiicient in many cases. However, it is also readily possible to provide another accelerating lever on the opposite side Wall of the magazine. Furthermore, it may be advantageous in many cases to provide two such accelerating levers on one side wall or on both. -In addition, the accelerating elements may be designed in different Ways, for example as leaf springs 16, FIG. 3, riveted to the side walls of the magazine and having a bent limb or arm 17. Furthermore, the accelerating elements may also consist of a leaf spring wound spirally round the pin 10 and whose end is shaped in a manner similar to that of the arm 9.
Finally, an advantageous development of the invention consists in that the pin 10 is in the form of a torsion bar spring on which the accelerating lever 8 is mounted. Of couse, in that case, the coil spring 12 can be dispensed with.
Furthermore, in order to make the friction conditions within the accelerating system particularly favourable,
the accelerating elements can be provided to very great advantage with rolling bodies, for example rollers 18 or the like, FIG. 4, at the end 13 thereof projecting into the interior of the magazine.
We claim:
