Description

ARME DE CHASSE SOUS-MARINE COMPORTANT UNE CROSSE ARTICULEE ETSUBMARINE HUNTING WEAPON COMPRISING AN ARTICULATED HANDLE AND
UNE HAUSSE REGLABLE.ADJUSTABLE RISING.
L ' invention est du domaine de la chasse sous-marine, et elle a pour objet une arme du genre fusil ou arbalète de chasse sous-marine.The invention is in the field of spearfishing, and its subject is a weapon of the speargun or crossbow type.
On connaît des armes pour la pêche sous-marine, comprenant une structure rigide, dite corps de crosse, sur laquelle sont fixés, en vue de les relier, un fût destiné à supporter le projectile, ou harpon, et une poignée de préhension de l'arme. Le fût est équipé d'un dispositif, à air comprimé ou à élastique par exemple, pour projeter le harpon, celui-ci étant guidé sur le fût le long d'un organe de guidage dont ce dernier est pourvu.Weapons for underwater fishing are known, comprising a rigid structure, known as a buttstock body, on which are fixed, in order to connect them, a barrel intended to support the projectile, or harpoon, and a handle for gripping the 'armed. The barrel is equipped with a device, with compressed air or elastic for example, for projecting the harpoon, the latter being guided on the barrel along a guide member with which the latter is provided.
L'utilisation de ces armes varie selon les habitudes du chasseur. Ainsi, l'orientation de la poignée par rapport à celle du fût varie selon les modes de préhension de l'arme par le chasseur. Par exemple, suivant le mode de préhension dit "tahitien", la poignée est disposée dans le prolongement du fût, tandis que suivant le mode de préhension, dit "européen", la poignée forme avec le fût un angle ouvert de l'ordre de 120°. Par exemple encore, certains chasseurs préfèrent une poignée orientée de manière à former avec le fût un angle fermé.The use of these weapons varies according to the habits of the hunter. Thus, the orientation of the handle relative to that of the barrel varies according to the modes of grip of the weapon by the hunter. For example, according to the so-called "Tahitian" gripping method, the handle is arranged in the extension of the barrel, while according to the so-called "European" gripping mode, the handle forms with the barrel an open angle of about 120 °. For example again, some hunters prefer a handle oriented so as to form a closed angle with the barrel.
Par ailleurs, le mode de préhension de l'arme est déterminant du mode de visée opéré par le chasseur. Ainsi encore, le chasseur choisi son arme, outre selon son mode de préhension, selon la trajectoire souhaitée du projectile et suivant la hausse offerte par son arme.In addition, the mode of grip of the weapon is determining the mode of sight operated by the hunter. Thus again, the hunter chooses his weapon, besides according to his mode of grasping, according to the desired trajectory of the projectile and according to the rise offered by his weapon.
Le but de 1 ' invention est donc de proposer une arme pour la chasse sous-marine du genre susvisé, qui permet au chasseur d'adapter son arme en fonction du mode de chasse qu'il souhaite, et plus particulièrement en fonction du mode de préhension de celle- ci et du choix de la trajectoire du projectile. La démarche inventive à consisté à surmonter les préjugés dans le domaine, et notamment ceux liés au choix par le chasseur d'une arme en fonction de son style de chasse habituel, pour proposer une arme équipée de moyens, dits premiers, pour permettre d'ajuster l'angle A formé entre 1 ' axe général Ai de la poignée et 1 ' axe général A2 du fût, et de moyens, dits seconds, de blocage de la poignée, de telle sorte que l'orientation de la poignée puisse être modifiée par l'utilisateur sans altérer la rigidité de la liaison entre la poignée et le fût.The object of the invention is therefore to propose a weapon for spearfishing of the aforementioned kind, which allows the hunter to adapt his weapon according to the hunting mode he wishes, and more particularly according to the mode of grip of the latter and of the choice of the trajectory of the projectile. The inventive step consisted in overcoming the prejudices in the field, and in particular those related to the choice by the hunter of a weapon according to his usual hunting style, to propose a weapon equipped with means, called first, to allow the angle A formed between the general axis Ai of the handle and the general axis A2 of the barrel to be adjusted, and means, said second, for locking the handle, so that the orientation of the handle can be modified by the user without altering the rigidity of the connection between the handle and the barrel.
Il résulte de ces dispositions que 1 ' utilisateur peut adapter 1 ' arme de 1 ' invention en fonction d'un quelconque mode de maintien. Par ailleurs, il est proposé de pourvoir le fût de l'arme d'une hausse réglable, de préférence de façon discontinue par crantage, pour ajuster la trajectoire du harpon en fonction de sa portée désirée et/ou du mode de visée opérée par le chasseur. Cette hausse est avantageusement constituée d'un manchon supporté coaxialement par le fût de manière tournante, le dit manchon comportant une pluralité de gorges périphériques, dont le fond de chacune d'elles est situé à des distances respectives de l'axe du fût, des moyens de blocage permettant au chasseur d'aligner l'une ou l'autre des gorges de hausse avec l'organe de guidage du projectile dont le fût est pourvu.It follows from these provisions that the user can adapt the weapon of the invention according to any type of holding. Furthermore, it is proposed to provide the barrel of the weapon with an adjustable rise, preferably discontinuously by notching, in order to adjust the trajectory of the harpoon according to its desired range and / or the aiming mode operated by the hunter. This rise advantageously consists of a sleeve supported coaxially by the barrel in a rotary manner, the said sleeve comprising a plurality of peripheral grooves, the bottom of each of which is located at respective distances from the axis of the barrel, locking means allowing the hunter to align one or the other of the rising grooves with the projectile guide member with which the barrel is provided.
On comprendra que de façon avantageuse l'arme de l'invention est équipée à la fois des dispositions relatives à l'orientation de la poignée par rapport à l'axe du fût et relatives à la hausse réglable, mais qu'il doit être compris que ces dispositions peuvent être prises tant en combinaison que séparément.It will be understood that advantageously the weapon of the invention is equipped both with provisions relating to the orientation of the handle relative to the axis of the barrel and relating to the adjustable rise, but that it must be understood that these arrangements can be made both in combination and separately.
La présente invention sera mieux comprise, et des détails en relevant apparaîtront, à la description qui va en être faite de formes préférées de réalisation, en relation avec les figures des planches annexées, dans lesquelles: la fig.l est une vue schématique de côté d'une arme pour la chasse sous-marine selon une forme préférée de réalisation, la fig.2 représente deux schémas successifs a et b illustrant une même arme en coupe transversale partielle, respectivement en position de blocage (a) et en position de déblocage (b) de la poignée, la fig.3 est une vue partielle de côté d'une même arme, représentant la poignée suivant deux orientations différentes, les fig.4 à 6 sont des schémas de l'extrémité distale d'une arme sous marine équipée d'une hausse réglable selon une forme préférée de réalisation de l'invention, les dits schémas illustrant successivement la mise en oeuvre de la hausse pour faire varier la trajectoire du projectile, la fig.7 est une vue de bout d'une même hausse.The present invention will be better understood, and details will be apparent from the description which will be made of preferred embodiments, in relation to the figures of the appended plates, in which: fig.l is a schematic side view of a weapon for spearfishing according to a preferred embodiment, fig.2 shows two successive diagrams a and b illustrating the same weapon in section partial transverse, respectively in the locking position (a) and in the unlocking position (b) of the handle, FIG. 3 is a partial side view of the same weapon, representing the handle in two different orientations, FIGS. 4 to 6 are diagrams of the distal end of an underwater weapon equipped with an adjustable sight according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the said diagrams successively illustrating the implementation of the sight to vary the trajectory of the projectile, fig. 7 is an end view of the same rise.
Sur les figures 1 à 3, une arme pour la pêche sous-marine comporte un fût 2 et une poignée 4 reliés l'un à l'autre par un corps de crosse 24. Cette arme est principalement caractérisée en ce qu'elle est équipée de moyens 12,10 dits premiers, pour permettre d'ajuster l'angle A ou £ (fig.3) entre l'axe général Ai de la poignée 4 et l'axe général A2. du fût 2, et des moyens 6,8,16,20,22, dits seconds, de blocage de la poignée 4 sur le corps de crosse24.In FIGS. 1 to 3, a weapon for underwater fishing comprises a barrel 2 and a handle 4 connected to each other by a buttstock body 24. This weapon is mainly characterized in that it is equipped means 12.10 known as prime, to allow the angle A or £ to be adjusted (fig.3) between the general axis Ai of the handle 4 and the general axis A2 . of the barrel 2, and means 6, 8, 16, 20, 22, called second, for locking the handle 4 on the stock body 24.
Selon différentes variantes, les dits seconds moyens sont des moyens de blocage de la poignée 4 , soit dans une position quelconque, soit et de préférence tel que représenté sur les figures, dans au moins une position prédéterminée, de telle sorte que la poignée 4 puisse être orientée suivant au moins deux positions correspondantes chacune a un mode traditionnel de maintien de l'arme.According to different variants, said second means are means for locking the handle 4, either in any position, or and preferably as shown in the figures, in at least one predetermined position, so that the handle 4 can be oriented in at least two corresponding positions, each with a traditional method of holding the weapon.
Les dits premiers moyens 12,10 sont avantageusement constitués par une articulation en pivotement de la poignée 4 sur le corps de crosse 24.Said first means 12, 10 are advantageously constituted by a pivoting articulation of the handle 4 on the stock body 24.
De préférence, les seconds moyens 6, 8,16,20 et 22 comprennent des organes de crantage, tels que 6 et 8, pour solidariser en pivotement la poignée 4 et le corps de crosse 24, la dite solidarisation étant réversible par 1 ' utilisateur ( flèche 1 ) , pour autoriser un pivotement (flèche 3) de la poignée 4. La poignée 4 est préférentiellement articulée sur le corps de crosse 24 par l'intermédiaire d'une pièce robuste 10, en matière métallique par exemple. La pièce robuste 10 est rapportée à l'extrémité distale de la poignée 4 et est articulée sur le corps de crosse 24, par l'intermédiaire d'un doigt de pivot 12, entre les pattes 14 d'une chape dont le corps de crosse 24 est pourvu, de manière à ce que les faces latérales de la poignée 4 et les pattes 14 y relatives affleurent (fig.2). Selon une forme préférée de réalisation, les dits organes de crantage comprennent une pluralité d'ergots 6 ménagés sur un premier épaulement 16 du doigt de pivot 12. Les ergots 6 sont montés coulissant à travers des lumières 18 ménagées dans l'une des pattes 14 de la chape pour immobiliser en pivotement le doigt de pivot 12 sur le corps de crosse 24, et d'autre part sont coopérants avec des logements 8 ménagés en correspondance dans la pièce robuste 10 pour le blocage de la poignée 4. Le doigt 12 est mobile en translation pour permettre un dégagement des ergots 6 hors des logements 8 de la pièce robuste 10, et est pourvu à cet effet d'un organe de manoeuvre 20 par l'utilisateur.Preferably, the second means 6, 8, 16, 20 and 22 comprise notching members, such as 6 and 8, for pivotally securing the handle 4 and the stock body 24, the said securing being reversible by the user (arrow 1), to allow pivoting (arrow 3) of the handle 4. The handle 4 is preferably articulated on the stock body 24 by means of a robust piece 10, made of metallic material for example. The robust piece 10 is attached to the distal end of the handle 4 and is articulated on the stock body 24, by means of a pivot finger 12, between the legs 14 of a yoke, the stock body 24 is provided, so that the lateral faces of the handle 4 and the lugs 14 relative thereto (fig.2). According to a preferred embodiment, said notching members comprise a plurality of lugs 6 formed on a first shoulder 16 of the pivot finger 12. The lugs 6 are slidably mounted through slots 18 formed in one of the lugs 14 of the yoke to immobilize in pivoting the pivot finger 12 on the stock body 24, and on the other hand are cooperating with housings 8 formed in correspondence in the robust piece 10 for locking the handle 4. The finger 12 is movable in translation to allow the lugs 6 to be released from the housings 8 of the robust part 10, and is provided for this purpose with an operating member 20 by the user.
La poignée 4 est avantageusement spontanément maintenue en position bloquée par les seconds moyens 6,8,16,20,22 sous l'effet d'un organe élastique 22 prenant appui d'une part sur le corps de crosse 24 et d'autre part sur un deuxième épaulement 20 du doigt de pivot 12. Le deuxième épaulement 20 forme le dit organe de manoeuvre à la manière d'un bouton poussoir. La mobilité en translation du doigt de pivot 12, visant à rompre la liaison entre les ergots 6 et la pièce robuste 10, s'effectue par une poussée (flèche 1) exercée par l'utilisateur sur le bouton poussoir 20 à l' encontre de la poussée inverse exercée par le dit organe élastique 22.The handle 4 is advantageously spontaneously held in the locked position by the second means 6,8,16,20,22 under the effect of an elastic member 22 bearing on the one hand on the stock body 24 and on the other hand on a second shoulder 20 of the pivot finger 12. The second shoulder 20 forms said operating member in the manner of a push button. The translational mobility of the pivot finger 12, intended to break the connection between the lugs 6 and the robust piece 10, is effected by a push (arrow 1) exerted by the user on the push button 20 against the reverse thrust exerted by said elastic member 22.
En d'autre termes, la poignée 4 est spontanément maintenue en position bloquée. Son déblocage s'effectue par une poussée (flèche 1) exercée et maintenue sur le bouton poussoir 20 pour déplacer en translation le doigt de pivot 12 et de ce fait dégager les ergots 6 hors de leur logement 8. La poignée 4 étant désolidarisée du corps de crosse 24, son pivotement (flèche 3) est autorisé jusqu'à ce qu'elle soit placée dans la position souhaitée par l'utilisateur, qui cesse alors d'exercer une poussée (flèche 1) sur le bouton poussoir 20 afin d'obtenir un blocage spontané de la poignée 4 sur le corps de crosse 24.In other words, the handle 4 is spontaneously held in the locked position. Its release is effected by a push (arrow 1) exerted and maintained on the push button 20 to move the pivot finger 12 in translation and thereby release the pins 6 out of their housing 8. The handle 4 being disconnected from the butt body 24, its pivoting (arrow 3) is authorized until it is placed in the position desired by the user, who then ceases to exert a thrust ( arrow 1) on the push button 20 in order to obtain a spontaneous blocking of the handle 4 on the stock body 24.
Sur les fig.l et 4 à 7, Le fût 2 est équipé d'un organe 26 de guidage du projectile 28. L'arme est en outre équipée, selon un autre aspect de l'invention, d'une hausse ajustable comportant au moins un organe, tel que 32, de repos du projectile 28 et des moyens, dits troisièmes, pour faire varier, de préférence de manière discontinue, l'écart e séparant le dit organe de repos 32 de l'axe A2. du fût. Ces troisièmes moyens sont associés à des moyens, dits quatrièmes, de blocage de l'organe de repos 32 au moins dans l'alignement du dit organe de guidage 26.In FIGS. 1 and 4 to 7, the barrel 2 is equipped with a member 26 for guiding the projectile 28. The weapon is further equipped, according to another aspect of the invention, with an adjustable rise comprising at at least one member, such as 32, for resting the projectile 28 and means, called third means, for varying, preferably discontinuously, the distance e separating said rest member 32 from the axis A2. of the barrel. These third means are associated with means, known as means, for blocking the rest member 32 at least in alignment with said guide member 26.
Sur 1 ' exemple de réalisation illustré sur les figures, la hausse est formée par un manchon 30, qui constitue les dits troisièmes moyens, supporté coaxialement par le fût 2 de manière tournante. Ce manchon 30 comporte, équiréparties à sa périphérie, une pluralité de gorges 32, dites de hausse, dont les fonds, sur l'un ou l'autre desquels le projectile 28 est destiné à reposer, sont situés à des distances respectives e de l'axe A2. du fût 2. Ces dispositions sont telles que la trajectoire du projectile 28 puisse être modifiée par le chasseur par un interchangement de la gorge de hausse 32.In the embodiment illustrated in the figures, the rise is formed by a sleeve 30, which constitutes the said third means, supported coaxially by the barrel 2 in a rotating manner. This sleeve 30 comprises, equally distributed around its periphery, a plurality of grooves 32, said to be rising, the bottoms of which, on one or the other of which the projectile 28 is intended to rest, are located at respective distances e from l 'axis A2. of the barrel 2. These provisions are such that the trajectory of the projectile 28 can be modified by the hunter by an interchange of the raising groove 32.
Les gorges de hausse 32 sont par exemple de section globalement demi-circulaire, tel qu'illustré sur la fig.7, et sont d'un diamètre d respectif, de telle sorte que leur fond soit plus ou moins proche de l'axe A2. du fût 2 en fonction de leur diamètre d.The rising grooves 32 are for example of generally semi-circular section, as illustrated in FIG. 7, and are of a respective diameter d, so that their bottom is more or less close to the axis A2 . of barrel 2 according to their diameter d.
Les dits quatrièmes moyens sont des moyens de blocage, par encrantage notamment, du manchon 30 en une pluralité de positions angulaires prédéterminées correspondant à l'alignement d'une gorge de hausse 32 respective avec le dit organe de guidage 26. Par exemple, des organes de crantage coopérant 34, et tel que 36, sont respectivement ménagés sur le fût 2 et sur le manchon 30.
