Definitions
- An automatic rearm having a breech housing with a breech block locked to the housing in the igniting position, and a tiring pin control member for controlling the locking of the breech block, the control member being adapted to slide relative to the block out of a position of abutment on ignition.
- A- friction brake means is provided between the control member and either the breech housing or breech block, the friction brake means comprising a spring-loaded movable friction element engageable in the abutment position within a catch or notch. The friction brake means controls the rebounding of the control member to such an extent that the friction element is permitted to automatically disengage without permitting the breech head to become unlocked.
- the invention relates to an automatic firearm in which the breech housing has a breech head or block which is locked to the housing in the igniting position, and a control member for controlling the locking of the breech head, the control member being adapted to slide relatively to the head out of a position of abutment on ignition.
- the invention is characterized in that a friction brake is provided between the control member and one of the two portions formed by the breech housing and the breech head, that thefriction brake has a spring loaded, movable friction element which engages in the abutment position in a catch provided with a friction surface, and that the friction' brake prevents the control member from rebounding from the breech head to such an extent that the friction element is automatically disengaged without the breech head being unlocked.
- FIGURE 1 is a diagrammatic view of an axial longitu-dinal section, taken along the line I--I in FIGURE 3, through part of a rearm with the breech element in the locked position.
- FIGURE 2 ⁇ is a similar view showing the breech element in the unlocked position.
- FIGURE 3 is a section taken along the line III-III in FIGURE 1.
- FIGURE 4 is a section taken along the line IV--IV in FIGURE 3.
- FIGURE 5 is a section taken along the line V--V in FIGURE 1 showing a first embodiment of the friction brake.
- FIGURE 6 is a section along the line VI-VI in FIGURE 5.
- FIGURE 7 is a section along the line VII-VII in FIGURE 5.
- FIGURE 8 is a section along the line VIII-VIII in KURE 1 showing a second embodiment of the friction ra e.
- FIGURE 9 is a section along the line VIII- VIII in FIGURE 1 showing a third embodiment of the friction brake.
- FIGURES 1 and 2 the breech head of a two-part breech element is shown at 1 and the control member at 2.
- the control member 2 which is inserted in a recess 107 in the breech head 1 as shown in FIGURES 3 and 4 and which is movable in this recess, has a driving connection with two coupling members 26.
- the -coupling members 26 are each movably housed in a chamber formed by a web 108 of the head 1 and a side wall of the housing 3 and engage in recesses in the control member 2 by means of projections 109.
- Sleeves 5 carry cams 24 which give them a driving connection with the two coupling members 26, the cams 24 passing through slots in the side walls j of the breech housing 3 and engaging in recesses in the coupling members 26.
- the sleeves 5, movably mounted in supports 4, are subjected to the pressure of closing springs 6 (FIGURES 5 and 6) provided in them and bearing on the rear ends of the supports 4 (not shown).
- the supports 4 have extensions or attachments 25 pivotally mounted on bolts 23 which are provided on straps 22 fixed to the breech housing 3.
- Two bolt locks 7 (FIG- URES 1 and 2) are pivotally mounted on the breech head 1 with engaging surfaces 8 provided on the housing 3 to support them.
- A- bushing 9 (FIGURES 5, 6 and 7) directed transversely to the axis of the sleeves 5 is fixed in each side of the housing 3.
- a friction element 10 is disposed within each bushing 9 and is subjected to the pressure of a spring 11 movably mounted in it.
- the circular end face of the bushing 9 projecting from the housing 3 contains a slot-like aperture 91 extending parallel with the axis of the sleeve 5.
- the extension 101 of the friction element 10 which has two surfaces 102, 103 also parallel to said axis, projects through this aperture and extends further out through an aperture 41 in the support 4 into a slot 51 forming a catch in the sleeve 5.
- the extension 101 of the element 10 has two end faces inclined to the axis of the weapon, the front one 104 extending more steeply in relation to this axis than the rear one 105.
- the front end 53 of the slot 51 in the sleeve 5 is in the same direcf tion as the steeper surface 104 of the friction element 10'.
- the distance that the control member 2 has to cover backwards to force the connecting element 10 out of the catch 51 is shorter than the distance that the control member 2 has to cover in order to unlock the breech head 1 when a shot has been fired.
- FIGURE 8 shows a second embodiment of the invention as used with a breech element according to FIGURES 1 and 2.
- the main difference from the first example is that here the friction element is arranged in the control member 2 and acts on the breech head 1.
- the cylindrical friction element 16 is movably mounted in a bore 17 perpendicular to the direction in which the control member 2 moves.
- the front part of friction element 16 has a milled portion or cutout 161 parallel with its axis; this is engaged by a pin 19 xed in the control member 2 so as to prevent the friction element 16 from dropping out when the weapon is dismantled.
- a recess or catch 20 is worked into the breech head 1; this forms part of a sphere with a radius slightly larger than that of the spherical end 163 of friction element 16.
- the depth of the catch 20 is such that no sticking occurs between it and the friction element 16 when the control member 2 rebounds.
- FIGURE 9 shows a third embodiment which is also used in one of the breech elements illustrated in FIG- URE 1.
- the friction element comprises a pawl 27 placed in a recess 30 in control member 2.
- a biased spring 34 bearing on the bottom of the bore 31 in the control member projects into a cutout 28 in pawl 27.
- the breech head 1 has a catch 29 into which the friction element 27 springs when the control member 2 reaches the abutment position during its forward movement.
- the recess or catch 29 has a friction surface 32 in the same direction as the end face 33 of pawl 27.
- the third embodiment (FIGURE 9) operates similarly to the second example:
- the catch may be provided in the control member and the friction element on the breech head or breech housing.
- An automatic firearm comprising: a breech housing having a chamber; a breech head arranged in said housing and adapted to be locked to said housing in the igniting position;
- control means for controlling the locking of the breech head in the housing, said control means being relatively movable with respect to said breech head from a position of abutment in which ignition takes place;
- friction brake means coacting with said control means for frictionally braking the movement of the control means away from said position of abutment
- said friction brake means comprising means defining a catch recess provided with a friction surface and a spring-loaded, slideable friction element stationary with respect to said housing at least as long as the breech head is locked in said igniting position, said friction element being slideably movable in a direction transverse to the direction of movement of the control means and adapted to be received into said catch recess when the control means is in the position of abutment.
- control means is provided with a recess therein, said friction element being slideably mounted therein.
