DOUBLE-SIDED MAGAZINE CHANGE MECHANISM Technical Field
The present invention relates to a magazine change mechanism that is designed to be used with all magazine-fed rifles and that allows magazine of rifle to be changed from both sides. In particular, the present invention relates to release of the magazine seated in the magazine well by means of a particularly-designed pedal housing on the lock in the magazine change mechanism by way of moving the pedal designed to be used in case of changing the magazine towards magazine- fed rifle barrel and magazine-fed rifle stock.
Prior Art Nowadays magazines which have a square geometry and store ammunition therein, are used in rifles. Magazines are a separate element, wherein it is loaded with bullets and inserted to the rifle while preparing the rifle for firing. Since magazines have specific capacity, it is required to change magazine because the ammunition loaded therein will eventually run out during firing. Being able to change the magazine in a swift and easy manner is the most important factor in this process.
Magazine release pin in magazine-fed rifles available in the state of art is a component used in changing the magazine of a rifle. The magazine release pins in the existing systems are positioned at the right or the left side of the magazine. This causes operator to remove his/her hand from the trigger based on his/her dominant hand (depending on use of right or left hand) and then to press on the magazine release pin. In this system, the process for changing the magazine of the rifle and for preparing the rifle for the next firing sequence when the operator is out of ammunition occupies an extended time period. This period handicaps its practical use. The available system is insufficient for magazine changes in both tactical shots and military shots. The patent document numbered US9121651B1 in the prior art relates to a magazine lock and release mechanism that is designed to change the magazine of a rifle from both of its sides. Corrosions occur over time because of the simplex movement of the pin being used to change the magazine in this mechanism, thereby causing non-functionality. Correspondingly, a frequent mechanism replacement is required, which causes extra costs.
The aforementioned problems in the state of art oblige and require performing studies in the related technical filed pertaining to magazine change mechanisms. Objects of the Invention
The main object of the present invention is to carry out the magazine release and locking processes in in the briefest period of time possible by means of the magazine change mechanism comprising a pedal that can move at both barrel side and stock side, wherein the magazine lock which fastens the magazine to the rifle, can be reached in a short time.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a pedal in the magazine change mechanism that is both user-friendly and long-lasting by means of making it functional.
Another object of the invention is to change practically the magazine from both sides of the rifle by locating a pedal engaged with the release pin at the other side of the rifle, in addition to the lock release pin that is located at one side of the rifle (right or left) in the state of art and releases the magazine lock when pressed thereon.
The structural and characteristic aspects and all the advantages of the present invention will be understood more clearly by means of following figures and the detailed description written by making references to these figures. Therefore, these figures and the detailed description should be taken into account while the necessary evaluation is being conducted. Detailed Description of the Invention

3.1. Lock housing Figure 1 shows a magazine-fed rifle (A), wherein the magazine change mechanism (1) is located. The magazine change mechanism (1), main body (2) and magazine (3) are located in said magazine-fed rifle (A).
Figure 2 shows the magazine change mechanism (1), main body (2) and magazine in a mounted manner. The magazine change mechanism (1) is comprised of a lock (1.1), pin (1.2), pedal (1.3), connection screw (1.4), spring (1.5), pedal housing (1.6) and tab (1.7). Figure 4 shows a pedal (1.3) that can move towards both barrel and stock in parallel with the magazine-fed rifle (A), wherein it is designed to be rotated around its own axis.
The centering hole (1.10) formed on the pedal (1.3) is engaged with the centering pin (2.4) on the main body, wherein curved end (1.9) of said pedal (1.3) is seated within the pedal housing (1.6) in the interior surface of the lock (1.1). The curved end (1.9) is of semicircular form. The pedal housing (1.6) comprises at least two housing angles (1.8). The housing angles may have a value in the range of 0° - 90°. The lock (1.1) is located in the lock housing slot (2.1) near the main body (2). It is engaged with the pin (1.2) by mounting the connection screw (1.4) to the end of the lock (1.1) at the pedal (1.3) side. There is a spiral spring (1.5) on the connection screw (1.4). The pin (1.2) is located in the pin hole (2.2) that is in parallel with the lock slot (2.1) on the main body (2). The magazine (3) is seated in the magazine well (2.3) by moving under the main body (2) and is caught and locked by means of the tab (1.7) at the end of the lock (1.1) (Figure - 5).
The pedal housing (1.6) shown in Figure - 3 comprises two housing angles (1.8), thereby allowing preferably the pedal (1.3) to move towards barrel or stock. The movement of the curved end (1.9) located within the pedal housing (1.6) ensures the lock (1.1) to be opened or closed by moving said pedal housing (1.6). It is also ensured that the pedal (1.3) is moved in a simplex manner, when one of the housing angles (1.8) is preferably formed of 90°. As a result of the movement of the pedal (1.3), said end of the lock (1.1) engaged with the pin (1.2) is driven towards said pin (1.2). The spring (1.5) inserted to the connection screw (1.4) is tightened by means of this driving. The tab (1.7) at the end of the lock (1.1) is released from the lock housing (3.1) on the side surface of the magazine by means of tightening the spring (1.5) and said magazine (3) is released. The spring (1.5) is tightened because of the force applied on the pedal (1.3) and abuts against the pin (1.2) located at the other end of the connection screw (1.4). The lock (1.1) and the tab (1.7) located at the end of said lock (1.1) are re-seated in their positions, when operator eliminates the force applied on the pedal (1.3).
The inventive magazine change mechanism (1) ensures the magazine (3) to be changed from both sides of the magazine-fed rifle (A). The spring (1.5) on the connection screw (1.4) is tightened by applying force on the pedal (1.3) or the pin (1.2), wherein the tab (1.7) on the lock (1.1) ensures the magazine (3) to be released from the lock housing (3.1) on its side surface. Thus, the magazine (3) positioned in the magazine well (2.3) is released.
Tightening of the spring (1.5) by means of the force applied on the pedal (1.3) towards barrel or stock in parallel with the rifle is ensured by way of moving horizontally the connection screw (1.4) towards the pin (1.2). Another option is the method for tightening the spring (1.5) by means of moving horizontally the connection screw (1.4) towards the lock (1.1) by applying force on the pin (1.2). Both operation modes of the magazine change mechanism (1) may be employed in changing the magazine (3) in magazine-fed rifles (A).
