Definitions

  • ABSTRACT The servo-release comprises a trigger retractable by a spring and which can be lifted under the action of a cam borne by a slider displaceable by a control device by percussion with a latch and counter-latch neutralizable by a catch servo-coupled to the firing axle.
  • the invention is applicable particularly to firearms of small or medium calibre.
  • the invention -relates to automatic firearms (especially those of small and medium caliber, that isto say of caliber comprised between, 1 2 and 50 mni) equipped with a mechanical servo-release, this latter expression denoting release mechanisms coming into play, for the initiation and/or arrest of firing, by means of ene'rgy'derived from a movable part of the firearm, thisenergy being, if necessary, storable in an energy storage constituted, for example, by a spring or other elastic device.
  • a first criterion relatesto forces which the gun operator must provide to actuate the servo-release, which forces it is desirable to reduce as much as possible.
  • a second criterion relatesi to the number and the weight of the parts of the release mechanism which undergo alternating movements on firing of burstsf'the number and weights of which parts itis of course, advantageous to reduceto increase the life of said mechanism, l l
  • a third criteriom relates to the precision'of the "moment of lifting'the sear," c I
  • a fourthjcriterion relates to the simplicity and accessibility of the constituent elements of the release mechanism, this fourth criterion conferring on the servorelease, whenit is satisfied, an increased safety of operation.
  • the automatic firearm with a mechanical servorelease is of an open breech type, that is to say comprising a breech mechanism, with an" alternating longitudinal motion, whichis retained before firing, open rearward position, against the action of at least one recovery spring,'by a sear whose withdrawal, caused by the mechanicalservo-release of the firearm, frees the abovesaid breech mechanismwhich then effects its closing travel under the effect of the, abovesaid recovery spring, the abovesaid automatic firearmbeing characterised inthat its mechanical servo eleasecomp rises, among other elements, i c v a pivoting sear mounted in aremovable casing borne by the firearm and constantly subjectto the ac'tion of a first elastic return device sufficiently powerful to cause the retraction of said sear when the latter. occupies its active position for which it retainsiri open rearward position the breechme'chanism of the firearm,
  • a control cam for the sear borne by a slider mounted in the abovesaid casing capable of being moved longitudinally forwards, against the action of a second elastic return device, by leaving an extreme rearward position for which the control cam :is spaced from the sear which then occurs withdrawn by the first elastic return device, thereby passing through a succession of intermediate position of which the control cam cooperates with the sear thereby displacing it progressively and imperatively up to its active position, and thereby finally reaching a locked forward position for which the abovesaid control cam temporarily locks the abovesaid sear in active position,
  • I a device for control by percussion, neutralizable, operating by borrowing energy from a retracting part of the breech mechanism of the firearm capable, when it is not neutralized, of causing the abovesaid slider to pass from its extreme rear position to its extreme forward position against the action of the abovesaid second elastic return device,
  • first neutralizing means capable of rendering this percussion control device out of operation, the said first neutralizing means being servo-coupled in such a way, to a release for the initiation of firing actuated by the crew of the weapon, that, when the crew acts on this release, the abovesaid first neutralizing means intervene to prevent the arrest of firing and to permit firing in a burst which is continued until the crew frees the abovesaid release,
  • the assembly of the servo-release is constituted by simple elements (cam,
  • bolts, slider, etc. housed in a removable casing and graduated in the longitudinal direction of the level of the floor of the casing, that is to say in a zone relatively easy of access.
  • this firing selecter cooperates directly with the first neutralizing means associated with the percussion control device and this in and in its position for firing shot by shot, said selecter renders said neutralizing means inactive, the first shot fired then causing the arrest of firing through the percussion control device.
  • a latch mounted pivotally on a transverse axle (borne by the casing of the servo-release) and comprising a first beak occurring, for an intermediate angular position of this latch, on the trajectory of a first stop borne by a retracting part of the breech mechanism of the weapon, and a second beak adapted, when the abovesaid latch is constrained imperatively to pivot due to the fact of the engagement of the abovesaid first beak by the above-said stop to cooperate with the slider bearing the control cam of the trigger to cause this slider to pass from its extreme rear position to its extreme forward position, and, on the other hand, a counter latch mounted pivotally on the same transverse axle as the above-mentioned latch and comprising a beak occurring, when the servo-release is at rest, in the path of a second abutment borne by a retracting part (preferably the same as that bearing the first stop) of the breech mechanism of the firearm situated behind the aboves
  • the breech mechanism of the firearm comprises a retracting manipulating part intended to maintain in active condition one or more bolts of the breech-block when the latter is in closed position, said manipulating part comprising a petition situated between the floor of the breech-block of the firearm and the abovesaid breech-block, this manipulating part will advantageously be made to carry the stops intended to engage the first beak of the latch and the beak of the counter-latch.
  • a pivoting hook situated below the slider, articulated on a transverse axle borne by the casing of the servo-release and subject to the action of elastic return means tending to raise the abovesaid hook, so that the beak of this hook becomes engaged behind a retaining notch when the abovesaid slider occurs close to its extreme forward position for which it comes into cooperation with the abovesaid hook so as to imperatively oblige it to pivot.
  • the second neutralizing means intended to render inoperative the locking device of the slider may be constituted, in simple and advantageous manner, by a three armed lever articulated on a transverse axle borne by the casing of the servo-release and situated immediately behind the abovesaid pivoting hook, the front arm of this lever being able to cooperate with the pivoting hook by abutment to cause its lowering, whilst the rear arm of said lever is subject to the action of a control catch servo-coupled to the release of the firearm so that the actuation of said release causes the intervention of the abovesaid catch and, consequently, the lowering of the locking hook and the freeing of the cam carrying slider, the third arm of the lever serving to limit, by abutment against the floor of the casing, the angular travel of said lever in the direction tending to separate its front arm from the beak of the locking hook.
  • FIG. 1 represents, in elevation with parts cut out and parts removed, the mechanical servo-release of a mechanical servo-release automatic firearm constructed according to the invention, said servo-release being shown in the position of firing a burst, the sear being lowered,
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 show the same servo-release in situations where it occurs respectively at the moment where the crew ceases to act on the release of the firearm and at the moment (following the preceding one) where the trigger is relifted and is ready to retain the movable mechanism of the breech in open position, at the beginning of the following return travel towards the front of said mechanism,
  • FIG. 4 shows again the same servo-release in elevation, but with other parts cut out and other parts removed so as to show certain members which were not visible in FIGS. 1 to 3, the abovesaid servo-release being shown, in this FIG. 4, in the situation in which it occurs when the firearm is at rest, with the breech open and the sear lifted,
  • FIG. 5 is similar to FIG. 4, with the slight difference that the servo-release is shown in the situation where the crew actuates the release and thus causes the lowering of the sear.
  • This retracting part 1 bears a first stop la oriented rearwardly, a second stop lb also oriented rearwardly and situated in front of the first stop 1a and a sear engagement notch 1c oriented forwardly and situated in front of the second stop lb, the role of these stops and the engagement notch being explained below in connection with the description of the mechanical servorelease proper (the forward direction of the firearm is denoted by the arrow AV in FIG. 1).
  • the servo-release proper comprises a sear 2 pivoted on a transverse axle 3 borne by a casing 4 attached in a removable manner to the breech casing of the firearm, said sear being subject to the action of a helicoidal spring 5 sufficiently strong to cause the disengagement and the lowering of this sear when the latter occurs in its arrest of firing position, that is to say engaged in the engagement notch 10 as shown in FIG. 4 but free to pivot downwardly as shown in FIG. 5.
  • This servo-release comprises also a firing control transverse axle 6, situated in front of the sear 2 and servo-coupled in rotation to a release (not shown) by conventional transmission means of mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, or electrical type for example.
  • This firing control axle is shown with the release freed in FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 and in its angular position for initiating firing (release actuated) in FIGS. 1 and 5.
  • a latch 11 mounted pivotally on a transverse axle 12 situated behind the slider 8 and borne by the casing 4, the abovesaid latch 11 comprising a first beak 11a occurring, for an intermediate angular position of the latch 11, on the path of the stop lb of the retracting part 1, and a second beak 1 lb adapted, when the abovesaid latch 11 1 pivots following the engagement of the beak 11a by the stop lb, to imperatively oblige the slider 8 to pass from its extreme rear position (FIG. 11) to its extreme forward position (FIG. 3),
  • a counter-latch 13 mounted pivotally on the same transverse axle l2 and compris' ing a beak l3 occurring, when the servo-release is at rest (situation of FIG. 2), on the recoil path of the stop 1a of the retracting part 1, a first spring 14, interposed between the latch 11 and the counter-latch 13 holding at rest a certain resorbable angular separation between these two elements, whilst the second spring 15, interposed between the latch l 1 and the casing 4, constantly urges the pivoting composite assembly formed by the latch 1 1 and the counter-latch 13 towards the extreme position (illustrated in FIG.
  • This control device by percussion is completed by the first neutralizing means capable of blocking the latch 11 angularly when the crew act on the release (case of FIG. 1), these first neutralizing means being constituted by a catch 17 pivoted on a transverse axle l8 borne by the casing 4 and subject to the action of a return spring 19 urging it towards an extreme position for which the beak 17a of this catch is engaged in a notch formed in the latch 11.
  • the control of disengagement of the catch'l7 (which control must come into play when the crew frees the release) is obtained by a finger 20 borne by a plate 21 keyed on the firing control axle 6, the position of this finger being such that, when the crew actuates the release (case of FIG. 1) the finger concerned permits the beak 17a of the catch 17 to become engaged in the notch 110 under the action of its return spring 19, whilst, when the crew lets go the release (case of FIG. 2 and FIG. 3), the abovesaid finger 20 separates the beak 17a from the notch ll-c.
  • Second neutralizing means intended to render inoperative the locking hook 22 when the crew acts on the release, are constituted by a lever with three arms 25 articulated on the transverse axle 12 borne by the casing 4 situated by the side of the latch 11 and of the counter-latch 13.
  • This lever with three arms 25 comprises: a front arm 25a which can cooperate with the hook 22 (by means of a roller 26 borne by the beak 22a of the hook 22) to cause the lowering of said hook and the freeing of the slider 8; a rear arm 25b occurring on the path of a spring catch 27' borne by the plate 21 and occupying a position such that, when the crew acts on the release and causes the firing control axle 6 to pivot into its firing position (case of FIG.
  • the abovesaid catch 27 constrains, by its beak 27a, the lever 25 from tilting in the direction corresponding to withdrawal of the locking hook 22; and a lower middle arm 25c intervening, when the crew ceases to act on the release (case of FIG. 4) to limit the travel of the lever 25 by support of this arm 250 on the floor of the casing 4.
  • the mechanical servo-release is completed by a selecter device comprising a cam with flats 28 pivotable along a longitudinal axle under the effect of a manipulating lever 29, said cam being able to occupy three angular positions elastically locked by spring bolt 30, namely,
  • the retracting part 1 causes to tilt rearwardly the counter latch 13 by engagement of its beak 13a by the stop la but the catch 17 having its beak 17a engaged in the notch 110 of the catch 11, the latter is prevented from tilting to gain the intermediate position where it would have been engaged by the stop 1b.
  • the slider 8 and the cam 7 hence remain in their extreme rearward position for which the trigger 2 remains withdrawn under the action of its return spring 5.
  • the firing hence continues in a burst as long as the crew acts on the release of the firearm, the single part moved on each shot being the counter-latch 13 whose movements are accompanied by successive compressions of the spring 14.
  • the crew ceases to act on the release, which has the effect of causing the firing initiation axle 6 to pivot in anticlockwise direction, finger 20 then causing a withdrawal of the catch 17 whose beak 17a is thus disengaged from the notch 11c as seen in FIG. 2.
  • the latch 11 is free to tilt in the clockwise direction and, when the stop 1a of the part 1 comes to strike the beak 13a of the counter-latch 13, in the course of the withdrawal of said part, the counter-latch will cause the latch 11 to pivot, through the spring 14, to bring the front arm 11a of said latch into the part of the stop 1b.
  • the crew brings the selection cam 28 into the position, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, of shot by shot firing, that is to say into a position for which the flat 28a prevents by abutment (even if the release is actuated) the catch 17 from coming back into its active position for which its beak 17a is engaged in the notch 11c of the latch 11. If the crew then acts on the release, the locking hook 22 will be retracted by the front arm 25a of the lever 25 (as shown in FIG. 5 and the sear 2 will be retracted by its spring 5 on the recoil travel of the slider 8 permitted by the withdrawal of the above-said locking hook 22.
  • the freed breech mechanism will gain its closed position thereby ensuring the introduction and the percussion of a cartridge, then it will retract and, at the beginning of its return travel forwardly, it will be retained by the sear 2 since the latter will have relifted on the recoil travel of the breech mechanism given that the catch 17 is still held retracted by the flat 28a of the selection cam 28.
  • the catch 27 is disengaged towards the rear with respect to the arm 25b of the lever 25, this disengagement being achieved by rotation of the latch 11 whose ramp lb acts on beak 27a of the catch 27.
  • the catch 27 resumes its initial position thereby escaping from the arm 25b of the lever 25.
  • Automatic firearm especially of small or medium caliber
  • said servo-release mechanism comprises:
  • a pivoting sear mounted in a removable casing borne by the breech casing of the firearm and constantly subject to the action of a first elastic return device sufficiently powerful to cause the retraction of said sear when the latter occupies its active position for which it retains in open rearward position the breech-mechanism of the firearm
  • a sear control cam borne by a slider mounted in said casing capable of being displaced longitudinally forwards, against the action of a second elastic return device, starting from an extreme rearward position for which the control cam is separated from the sear which then occurs retracted by the first elastic return device, thereby passing through a succession of intermediate positions for which the control cam cooperates with the sear by displacing it gradually and imperatively to its active position, and thereby reaching finally a locked forward position for which said control cam temporarily blocks said sear in active position
