Description

Arme à feu, notamment une carabine, comportant un  A firearm, in particular a rifle, comprising a
dispositif de visée.  sighting device.
La présente invention se rapporte à un dispositif de visée pour une arme à feu, notamment une carabine. La présente invention se rapporte également à une arme à feu, notamment une carabine, comportant un dispositif de visée. The present invention relates to a sighting device for a firearm, in particular a rifle. The present invention also relates to a firearm, in particular a rifle, comprising a sighting device.
Classiquement les armes à feu, notamment les carabines, comportent une lunette de visée. Cette lunette de visée comporte un corps oblong qui s'étend classiquement dans la direction longitudinale le long du canon. Cependant, il peut exister également des dispositifs de visée de plus petite dimension, notamment dans lequel le dispositif est de type holographique. Classically firearms, including rifles, have a telescopic sight. This telescope has an oblong body which extends conventionally in the longitudinal direction along the barrel. However, there may also be sighting devices of smaller size, in particular in which the device is of the holographic type.
Quel que soit le type de dispositif formant lunette de visée, il comporte un système de verrerie. Ces dispositifs formant lunette de visée fonctionnent mal en cas de mauvais temps, notamment lorsqu'il pleut ou il neige, et sont imprécis . Regardless of the type of sighting device, it includes a glassware system. These sighting devices work poorly in bad weather, especially when it is raining or snowing, and are inaccurate.
La présente invention vise à surmonter les inconvénients de l'art antérieur en proposant un dispositif formant lunette de visée pour une arme à feu, notamment pour une carabine, par exemple de chasse, dont le fonctionnement en cas d'intempéries, notamment lorsqu'il pleut ou qu'il neige, est amélioré. Suivant l'invention, un dispositif est tel que défini à la revendication 1. The present invention aims to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art by proposing a sighting device for a firearm, in particular for a rifle, for example a hunting rifle, whose operation in bad weather, particularly when rain or snow, is improved. According to the invention, a device is as defined in claim 1.
On obtient ainsi un dispositif de visée qui fonctionne particulièrement bien en cas d'intempéries, notamment sous la pluie, et ce en étant très simple d'utilisation et notamment qui ne nécessite pas d'avoir constamment à ôter et remettre un cache, notamment en le vissant et dévissant, suivant l'invention le cache passant automatiquement par pivotement dans une position dans laquelle il n'obture pas le dispositif de visée lorsque l'utilisateur souhaite utiliser le dispositif de visée pour viser en vue de tirer. This provides a sighting device that works particularly well in inclement weather, especially in the rain, and this being very easy to use and in particular that does not require constantly having to remove and refit a cache, especially in the screwing and unscrewing, according to the invention, the cache automatically swiveling in a position in which it does not close the sighting device when the user wishes to use the sighting device to aim to shoot.
Dès que l'utilisateur a cessé de tirer, il replace son arme en position non horizontale ; notamment verticale, et le dispositif formant cache obture de nouveau le dispositif de visée empêchant les gouttes d'eau de venir en contact avec le au moins un verre de la lunette. Il en résulte que lorsque l'utilisateur souhaite de nouveau utiliser son arme, le dispositif de visée est immédiatement opérationnel . As soon as the user has stopped firing, he places his weapon in a non-horizontal position; in particular vertical, and the device forming a cover closes again the sighting device preventing the drops of water from coming into contact with the at least one glass of the telescope. As a result, when the user wishes to use his weapon again, the sighting device is immediately operational.
Suivant un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, les moyens d'équilibrage sont constitués d'au moins une masselotte montée solidaire en rotation de la plaque et agencés diamétralement opposés à la plaque par rapport à l'axe de rotation de la plaque. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the balancing means consist of at least one feeder mounted to rotate with the plate and arranged diametrically opposite the plate relative to the axis of rotation of the plate.
Suivant un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, la plaque d'obturation est de forme incurvée en ayant en section transversale, c'est-à-dire dans une section perpendiculaire à l'axe de pivotement, la forme d'un arc de cercle, notamment d'un arc de cercle sur un angle compris entre 45 et 90°, notamment environ According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the shutter plate is of curved shape having in cross section, that is to say in a section perpendicular to the pivot axis, the shape of an arc circle, including an arc on an angle included between 45 and 90 °, in particular about
Suivant un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, les moyens formant cache comportent, outre la plaque d'obturation, deux plaques latérales s 'étendant perpendiculairement à la plaque en forme de secteurs de disque . According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the cache means comprise, in addition to the closure plate, two side plates extending perpendicularly to the plate-shaped disc sectors.
Suivant un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, les moyens d'équilibrage comportent deux plaques latérales formant masselotte s 'étendant de part et d'autre de la lunette . According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the balancing means comprise two side plates forming a flyweight extending on either side of the bezel.
Suivant un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, il est prévu également une bague d'adaptation destinée à être montée autour du au moins un verre de la lunette et comportant deux ergots diamétralement opposés destinés à coopérer avec deux trous formés dans les moyens formant cache, notamment dans les plaques latérales, pour permettre le mouvement de pivotement du cache. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, there is also provided an adapter ring intended to be mounted around the at least one lens of the bezel and having two diametrically opposed lugs intended to cooperate with two holes formed in the means forming cache, especially in the side plates, to allow the pivoting movement of the cache.
La présente invention se rapporte également à une arme à feu, notamment une carabine, par exemple de chasse, comportant un dispositif formant lunette de visée suivant 1 ' invention . The present invention also relates to a firearm, in particular a rifle, for example a hunting rifle, comprising a sighting device according to the invention.
On décrit maintenant, à titre d'exemple, des mode de réalisation préférés de l'invention en se reportant aux dessins, dans lesquels : Embodiments of the invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the drawings, in which:
- La figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'une carabine suivant l'invention dans laquelle le dispositif de visée et la carabine sont disposés de sorte que l'axe de visée (et de tir) soit à la verticale. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a rifle according to the invention in which the sighting device and the rifle are arranged so that the line of sight (and shooting) either vertically.
La figure 2 est une vue de la carabine de la figure 1 dans laquelle le dispositif de visée et la carabine sont agencés de sorte que l'axe de visée (et de tir) soit à l'horizontale. Figure 2 is a view of the rifle of Figure 1 in which the sighting device and the rifle are arranged so that the line of sight (and firing) is horizontal.

La figure 4 est une vue en coupe suivant la ligne A-A de la figure 3. FIG. 4 is a sectional view along line A-A of FIG.
- La figure 5 est une vue de côté de la figure 3. - Figure 5 is a side view of Figure 3.
- La figure 6 est une vue en perspective de la bague d'adaptation du cache des figures 3 à 5 au dispositif de visée incorporé à la carabine des figures 1 et 2. - Les figures 7A, 7B, 7C et 7D représentent une carabine disposée respectivement à l'horizontale, pointant vers le haut, pointant vers le bas et inclinée à environ 45° et comportant un dispositif holographique dit à point rouge et un cache suivant l'invention. - Les figures 8A, 8B et 8C représentent le même agencement qu'aux figures 1 et 2 avec cependant la modification suivant laquelle le cache 6 est monté pivotant par rapport à la lunette par rapport à un axe 20' qui est plus proche de l'extrémité distale (l'extrémité du verre) de la lunette que l'axe 20 du mode de réalisation des figures 1 et 2. FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the cover adaptation ring of FIGS. 3 to 5 to the sighting device incorporated in the rifle of FIGS. 1 and 2. FIGS. 7A, 7B, 7C and 7D show a rifle arranged respectively in the horizontal, pointing upwards, pointing downwards and inclined at about 45 ° and comprising a holographic device called red dot and a cache according to the invention. FIGS. 8A, 8B and 8C show the same arrangement as in FIGS. 1 and 2 with however the modification according to which the cover 6 is pivotally mounted with respect to the telescope with respect to an axis 20 'which is closer to the distal end (the end of the lens) of the bezel as the axis 20 of the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2.
Aux figures 1 et 2, il est représenté une carabine de chasse comportant une crosse, un canon 2 s 'étendant dans une direction de tir et une lunette 3 de visée montée sur le canon 2 par des moyens 4 de fixation. Les moyens 4 de fixation du dispositif de visée au canon sont classiques et bien connus dans le domaine, de sorte qu'ils ne sont pas décrits ici de manière plus détaillée. La lunette 3 de visée comporte un axe de visée qui est parallèle sensiblement à l'axe de tir ou axe du canon 2. A la figure 1, la carabine est à la verticale, l'axe de visée de la lunette 3 de visée étant vertical. A la figure 2, la carabine est représentée à l'horizontale avec l'axe de visée de la lunette 3 de visée qui est à l'horizontale. In FIGS. 1 and 2, there is shown a hunting rifle comprising a butt, a gun 2 extending in a firing direction and a sighting telescope 3 mounted on the barrel 2 by fixing means 4. The means 4 for fixing the sighting device to the gun are conventional and well known in the art, so that they are not described here in more detail. The sighting telescope 3 comprises a sighting axis which is substantially parallel to the firing axis or axis of the barrel 2. In FIG. 1, the rifle is in the vertical position, the aiming axis of the sighting telescope 3 being vertical. In Figure 2, the rifle is shown horizontally with the axis of sight of the telescope 3 which is horizontal.
La lunette 3 de visée comporte à son extrémité opposée à l'oeil de l'utilisateur, ou extrémité distale, un verre 1 de lunette. Ce verre 1 de lunette est disposé au niveau d'une ouverture 5 distale du boîtier de la lunette. Un dispositif 6 formant cache est monté à l'extrémité distale 5 de la lunette pour obturer l'ouverture 5 dans la position verticale représentée à la figure 1. The telescope 3 has at its end opposite the user's eye, or distal end, a spectacle lens 1. This bezel glass 1 is disposed at a distal opening of the bezel housing. A device 6 forming a cover is mounted at the distal end 5 of the telescope to seal the opening 5 in the vertical position shown in FIG.
L'agencement est tel que le dispositif 6 formant cache n'obture pas l'ouverture 5 distale de la lunette dans la position horizontale représentée à la figure 2. The arrangement is such that the device 6 forming a cover does not close the distal opening of the telescope in the horizontal position shown in FIG.
Le dispositif 6 formant cache est monté rotatif par rapport à la lunette par rapport à un axe perpendiculaire à l'axe de visée de la lunette 3. La fixation du dispositif 6 formant cache à la lunette s'effectue par l'intermédiaire d'une bague 7 circulaire, cette bague 7 circulaire s 'adaptant à la périphérie extérieure de la lunette par écartement l'une de l'autre de deux branches élastiques de la bague pour permettre son adaptation au contour de la lunette, puis serrage de la bague par l'intermédiaire d'un système de vis 8. Deux tourillons 9, 10 gauche et droit font saillie latéralement de la bague dans une direction perpendiculaire à l'axe de la lunette. Ces deux tourillons 9, 10 définissent l'axe 20 de pivotement du dispositif 6 formant cache. The device 6 forming a cover is rotatably mounted relative to the telescope with respect to an axis perpendicular to the line of sight of the telescope 3. The device 6 forming the cover is attached to the telescope via a 7 circular ring, this circular ring 7 'adapting to the outer periphery of the bezel by spacing from one another two elastic branches of the ring to allow its adaptation to the contour of the bezel, then clamping the ring by through a screw system 8. Two pins 9, 10 left and right protrude laterally from the ring in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the bezel. These two pins 9, 10 define the pivot axis 20 of the device 6 forming a cover.
Le dispositif 6 formant cache comporte une plaque 11 incurvée s 'étendant sur un arc de cercle d'environ 75°, terminée de chaque côté par deux plaques latérales planes 12, 13 gauche et droite en forme de secteur de disque d'un angle d'environ 75° correspondant à l'extension de l'arc de cercle de la plaque 11. Deux trous 14, 15 sont formés au niveau du centre des secteurs de disque. Ces deux trous 14, 15 reçoivent les deux tourillons 9, 10 pour ainsi permettre la rotation de la plaque 11 par rapport à la bague 7, et donc par rapport à la lunette 3 de visée, dont la bague 7 est solidaire. Diamétralement opposé aux deux secteurs 12, 13 de disque, le cache 6 comporte deux éléments 17, 18 gauche et droit formant masselotte d'équilibrage. Ces deux masselottes ont ci la forme de deux secteurs de disque. Ils pourraient évidemment avoir une autre forme. Le poids des deux masselottes 17, 18 est supérieur à la somme des poids de la plaque 11 et des deux plaques 12, 13 latérales. Il est même sensiblement supérieur, par exemple deux fois supérieur . Comme on le voit à la figure 1, dans la position verticale de l'axe de visée et de la carabine, la plaque 11 obture complètement l'ouverture 5 distale de la lunette 3. Lorsque l'utilisateur souhaite utiliser sa carabine pour viser et tirer, il se saisit de la carabine et la place dans la position horizontale représentée à la figure 2. Compte tenu du poids supérieur des deux masselottes 17, 18, lorsque la lunette effectue un mouvement pour passer de sa position verticale de la figure 1 à la position horizontale de la figure 2, le cache 11 ne change pas d'orientation par rapport au sol et subit un mouvement de rotation par rapport à la lunette, les masselottes restant vers le bas dans la direction verticale. Il en résulte que l'ouverture 5 de la lunette n'est plus obturée et le dispositif de visée permet la visée et le tir. On a représenté aux figures un exemple de réalisation avec une lunette de visée classique. Le même système pourrait être mis en œuvre avec d'autres systèmes de visée, notamment les systèmes dits à point rouge ou holographique. En particulier, on pourrait réaliser le système avec des verres de lunette qui ne sont pas circulaires, mais de forme carrée ou autre. De même le boîtier de la lunette peut avoir une autre forme, notamment de forme sensiblement en cube . The device 6 forming a cover comprises a curved plate 11 extending over a circular arc of approximately 75 °, terminated on each side by two flat lateral plates 12, 13 left and right in the shape of a disk sector of an angle d approximately 75 ° corresponding to the extension of the arc of the plate 11. Two holes 14, 15 are formed at the center of the disc sectors. These two holes 14, 15 receive the two pins 9, 10 to thereby allow the rotation of the plate 11 relative to the ring 7, and therefore relative to the telescope 3 of sight, the ring 7 is secured. Diametrically opposed to the two sectors 12, 13 disk, the cover 6 comprises two elements 17, 18 left and right forming balance weight. These two weights have the shape of two disc sectors. They could obviously have another form. The weight of the two weights 17, 18 is greater than the sum of the weights of the plate 11 and the two plates 12, 13 side. It is even substantially higher, for example twice as much. As seen in FIG. 1, in the vertical position of the sighting axis and the rifle, the plate 11 completely closes the distal opening of the telescope 3. When the user wishes to use his rifle to aim and fire, he grabs the rifle and places it in the horizontal position shown in Figure 2. Given the upper weight of the two weights 17, 18, when the bezel makes a movement to move from its vertical position of Figure 1 to the horizontal position of Figure 2, the cover 11 does not change orientation relative to the ground and undergoes a rotational movement relative to the bezel, the weights remaining downward in the vertical direction. As a result, the opening 5 of the telescope is no longer closed and the sighting device allows aiming and firing. The figures show an example embodiment with a conventional telescopic sight. The same system could be implemented with other aiming systems, in particular so-called red dot or holographic systems. In particular, one could realize the system with glasses of bezel which are not circular, but of square shape or other. Similarly, the case of the telescope may have another shape, in particular substantially cube-shaped.
En outre, un dispositif de cache du même genre peut être disposé du côté proximal (du côté de l'utilisateur) du boîtier de la lunette, pour protéger le verre de la lunette se trouvant du côté proximal. In addition, a similar cover device may be provided on the proximal (user side) side of the bezel housing to protect the bezel glass on the proximal side.
En outre, le dispositif est représenté aux figures pour le cas d'une carabine, bien évidemment le système peut être adapté à d'autres systèmes, notamment à d'autres armes, notamment des pistolets ou revolvers ou fusils. In addition, the device is shown in the figures for the case of a rifle, obviously the system can be adapted to other systems, including other weapons, including pistols or revolvers or rifles.
Aux figures 7A à 7D, il est représenté un mode de réalisation supplémentaire, dans lequel le dispositif de visée est constitué d'un boîtier 50 holographique dit à point rouge comportant un verre protégé par un cache de structure identique au cache 6. In FIGS. 7A to 7D, there is shown a further embodiment, in which the device for aiming consists of a holographic case 50 said red point having a glass protected by a cache structure identical to the cache 6.
Le cache est monté rotatif par rapport au boîtier 50, perpendiculairement à l'axe du canon. The cover is rotatably mounted relative to the housing 50, perpendicular to the axis of the barrel.
Dans la position horizontale du canon, le verre du boîtier 50 est entièrement à nu, la plaque 11 incurvée se trouvant au-dessus du verre en totalité. In the horizontal position of the barrel, the casing glass 50 is entirely exposed, the curved plate 11 being above the entire glass.
Dans la position verticale (vers le bas, figure 7B, ou vers le haut, figure 7C) , la plaque 11 cache totalement le verre. In the vertical position (downwards, FIG. 7B, or upwards, FIG. 7C), the plate 11 completely hides the glass.
Dans la position inclinée à 45°, le verre est à moitié caché, seule la partie haute du verre étant cachée par la plaque 11. In the position inclined at 45 °, the glass is half hidden, only the upper part of the glass being hidden by the plate 11.
Les figures 8A, 8B et 8C représentent le même agencement qu'aux figures 1 et 2 avec cependant la modification suivant laquelle le cache 6 est monté pivotant par rapport à la lunette par rapport à un axe 20' qui est plus proche de l'extrémité distale (l'extrémité du verre) de la lunette que l'axe 20 du mode de réalisation des figures 1 et 2. Ce mode de réalisation (axe 20') assure une protection encore meilleure, la plaque 11, dans la position horizontale (figure 8A) faisant saillie au-delà du verre, au-dessus de ce dernier, pour le protéger des gouttes d'eau tombant à la verticale, sans pour autant gêner à la visée. II est à noter que le mode de réalisation des figures 1 et 2 assure également, certes dans une moindre mesure, cette protection à la manière d'une visière dans la position horizontale . FIGS. 8A, 8B and 8C show the same arrangement as in FIGS. 1 and 2 with however the modification according to which the cover 6 is pivotally mounted with respect to the telescope with respect to an axis 20 'which is closer to the end distal (the end of the glass) of the telescope that the axis 20 of the embodiment of Figures 1 and 2. This embodiment (axis 20 ') provides an even better protection, the plate 11, in the horizontal position ( 8A) protruding beyond the glass, above the latter, to protect it from drops of water falling vertically, without disturbing the aim. It should be noted that the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2 also provides, to a lesser extent, this protection in the manner of a visor in the horizontal position.
Suivant l'invention, on entend par verre tout élément transparent en verre ou autre matériau analogue, notamment en matière plastique. According to the invention, the expression "glass" means any transparent element made of glass or other similar material, in particular of plastic material.
