Description

The Invention relates to a handgun with a loading lever, a first and a second handle for loading the loading lever comprises the one on opposite Sides of the weapon are arranged, and a locking device, which is coupled to the first handle such that activity the first handle their lock with the weapon is released.

following listed Location labels such as "front", "rear", "side", etc. relate on a handgun in normal, horizontal firing position, where the estuary and thus the weft direction the weapon points forward.

at Self-loading handguns is often a loading lever or clamping lever firmly connected to the closure. This attachment is still used today, especially at lower cost self-loading rifles for small caliber cartridges used. It can be advantageously the closure, if he does not close properly should push, with the load lever. One disadvantage, however, is in that the rigid load lever extends through the housing to the outside and so parallel to the weapon must be free to move. Does he clash against an obstacle, then this can lead to a jamming or if he is against body part the shooter meets, this can be hurt.

Already Before the First World War, loading facilities were built at where the loading lever decoupled from the closure after loading. This avoids the above disadvantage, but also the aforementioned Advantage of manual squeezing of the lock. Since the advent of housing construction in military rifles has been usually the fixed coupling of the closure with the loading lever abandoned, instead, the loading lever is in the inserted Condition decoupled from the closure.

In the throughput devices known in the prior art, the loading lever of handguns is mounted either on the right or the left side of the weapon. These are, for example, in the DE 101 22 345 C1 the same applicant to a mounted on one side and unilaterally operated cocking slide, which biases the closure against the pressure of a closing spring and sets in various positions. For this purpose, there is a longitudinal slot in the housing with a rigid clamping rail, in which the cocking slide is guided and can be clamped.

In the DE 39 28 125 A1 The same applicant describes a through-loading device with a loading lever which can be pivoted to both sides. This is performed in a running in the longitudinal direction in the housing slot outside of the weapon.

The DE 19545774 C2 , also by the same applicant, discloses a self-loading weapon with a cocking slide guided in the housing, which has a handle projecting from the housing. The handle comprises a pawl which is spring-supported for holding the cocking slide in a positive engagement with a training in the housing can be brought. By pivoting back the handle during the backward sliding of the cocking slide it can be released from engagement. The cocking slide is in each case only one-sided operated.

at generic handguns, for example at the American M 16 A2, the loading lever points at his Operating a T-shaped Handle on and let Use it from both sides of the weapon. At only one side the handle of the pass-lever is arranged a handle, which is pivotally supported on the handle and with a locking nose in a recess of the weapon housing engages to block the movement of the feed lever relative to the weapon housing. When pressed This handle lifts the locking lug out of the recess and unlocks the loading lever.

These The prior art through-loading devices are either can only be operated from the right or only from the left and the load-through lever let yourself only unlock from one side. These have loading levers the disadvantage that they only for a weapon use designed either by a right-handed or a left-handed are. Especially in the military Increase area two for Right or left handed various weapon designs in storage, issue and Use of weapons the logistical and administrative burden. In addition, are the manufacturing and Initial cost of for left handed designed weapons higher, because of these due to the lower production quantities usually with higher ones Costs are associated.

Additionally vary in military rifles the boundary conditions occurring in use, such as pollution, Ambient temperature, weapon temperature, etc. This can be a cartridge when inserted into tilt the cartridge chamber and cause jamming. The Closure system can be then not close properly. This can be a considerable endangering for the Represent operator. Such stoppages are extremely rare before, but a weapon should be free from all interference.

Therefore The invention is based on the object, the operability of a generic weapon to improve.

These The object is achieved by the Subject of the independent Claim 1 solved. Thereafter, in a weapon mentioned above, the locking device Also coupled to the second handle such that actuated by the second handle their lock is released, regardless of the operation the first handle.

The Handling the pass-through lever are therefore not only formed on both sides, but you can too each operated from one side or the other side of the weapon be used to release the locking lever.

A so universal for both Right handed as also for left handed usable weapon saves time and costs, especially in the military field in procurement as well as in the administration and issuance of Weapons.

Furthermore Such trained weapons reduce a threat to the gunner or bystanders. Due to the thus configured user prompt Operator error, for example, by overlapping to the other side of the gun when operating one for one Right trained weapon prevented by a left-hander or vice versa. additionally it is easier to remove jamming.

The Weapon covered basically all kinds of handguns with a loading lever like automatic, semi-automatic, small caliber, large caliber handguns, For example, machine guns, submachine guns or rapid fire pistols or similar.

Further are preferred in the handgun the first and second handle via a coupling mechanism coupled together. For this purpose, the first and second handle are preferably pivotable held on the loading lever. The coupling mechanism includes preferably a pin formed on the first handle and one engaged with this pin, on the second handle formed recess, wherein the pin and the recess in such a way are formed and arranged that they the pivoting movements of the couple both handles together. Alternatively, a coupling is also possible the handle over each designed as a gear connection possible. Then would have to the arrangement of the handles done in such a way that the teeth the gears slightly offset, since only so an interlocking teeth is made possible and thus the desired Leverage or coupling of the two handles is achieved.

Furthermore The pins preferably have a round head portion and the recess rectangular profile on. Alternatively, the head section also spherical or cone or designed drop-shaped be formed and the profile rounded or rounded. Especially However, preferably the pin is undercut.

Further the coupling mechanism of the handgun preferably has at least a spring that biases the handles in their rest positions. This spring can be one or more leaf, plate, or compression spring be made of an elastomeric material or metal, with one or more pieces with connected to the handle. This is preferably a separate compression spring.

Furthermore Preferably, the first and second handle are in the loading lever the handgun integrated and have each preferred to one outward, in the direction of the estuary the weapon projecting portion on a handling surface for their operation. additionally are the handles to solve the locking preferably in the pulling direction of the loading lever operable. The handling surfaces can alternatively also be arranged laterally or rearwardly, however is an orientation to the front and an operability in the pulling direction of the loading lever ergonomically most advantageous.

Further comprises the locking device of the handgun prefers one with the first and a locking nose coupled to the second handle, each preferably with a recess on the housing or the closure sleeve in engagement stand. The locking lugs of the handle can alternatively also with a Recess in the barrel or pipe are engaged for locking. A lock in the housing However, it has the advantage that the Processing costs for the production of the recesses is less. Of course can the nose also on the case or run and the recess formed on the handle.

alternative can also be a lock only with a one-sided locking lug or locking point formed in the housing or the closure sleeve be, in which case both handles with this one locking lug or -stelle be coupled and independently operable have to, to release the lock.

Ultimately, the loading lever in the weapon is preferably within a guide device in Movable longitudinal direction of the weapon. Further, preferably, one end of the push-through lever acts on the closure and the other end is coupled to the handles. Alternatively, the loading lever may be located on the weapon or outside the weapon, however, it may then be more likely to be obstructed or damaged, or may fall out of the guide.

Of the Threshold can be like the case, for example from thin Sheet metal or reinforced with glass fibers Be made of plastic.

at Use of a simple grounding closure acts the loading lever preferably directly on this. Alternatively, when locked Closure with a closure head and a closure carrier, that the Threshold acts directly on the closure carrier.

Of the Threshold can be directly or via a connecting element with the closure or Closing carrier connected be. This compound can be rigid and positive or non-positive and / or be partially decoupled. However, preference is given to indirectly the closure or acted the closure carrier and this carried by the loading lever during loading.

The The invention will be described below with reference to a schematic representation of a self-loading rifle, which is not restrictive understand is. As already mentioned, The invention relates generally to the aforementioned Weapons with a through-loading system.

According to 1 The self-loading rifle includes, among other things, a housing 2 , a pipe 4 , a closure system 6 a shaft 8th , a deduction 10 and a handle 12 , All other parts of the self-loading rifle, such as the trigger mechanism, etc. are not described in further detail below, as they are self-evident to one of ordinary skill in the art. This is the case, for example, at the rear end of the tube 4 the cartridge chamber, the inside of the housing 2 floating shutter system 6 is closed. The closure system 6 can be in two parts, so from a closure head 16 and a closure carrier 18 consist. In this case, the closure head 16 on its front surface, ie on the side facing the mouth, a recess for receiving a cartridge base into which an ejector opens. On an outer side of the recess is an extractor, which engages in the bottom edge of a cartridge and assists the ejection of the cartridge case from the chamber after firing.

At the rear end of the case 2 is also centered, above the pipe 4 a loading lever 22 arranged, the back, to the shaft 8th out with a T-shaped handle 24 out of the case 2 protrudes. At the handle 24 are two handles 26 . 28 for unlocking the pass-through lever 22 arranged on both sides of the weapon. The handles 26 . 28 include respective handling surfaces 52a and b and are relative to the handle 24 movable, being used to unlock the handle 26 . 28 the respective handling surfaces 52a and b in the handle 24 can be pushed in. The handling surfaces 52a and b have a corrugated surface to facilitate, for example, gloved operation. Within the handle 26 . 28 There are also respective round recesses 42a and b, so as to reduce their weight.

The handle 24 is made in one piece and has over its height in the middle milled side slits, which merge into each other in part inside. These are the handles 26 . 28 used and each with a introduced into a bore bolts 36a and b attached. This runs perpendicular to the handles 26 . 28 and serves as its pivot axis. In a transverse bore within the handle, which extends between the non-merging sections of the side slots, is a spring 30 used that handle the two 26 . 28 in their rest positions biased against each other. In 1 they are in their resting position.

A coupling mechanism between the two handles 26 . 28 includes one at the first handle 26 trained cones 32 and one with this pin 32 engaged, on the second handle 28 arranged and approximately complementary to the pin 32 trained recess 34 , The pin 32 and the recess 34 are further formed and arranged so that they handle the pivotal movements of the two 26 . 28 pair with each other. The coupling takes place via the round head portion of the pin 32 , the rectangular profile of the recess 34 is applied. Upon actuation of one or the other handle 26 . 28 becomes the respective other handle 26 . 28 moved so that both handle 26 . 28 each in the same direction of action and against the pressure of the spring 30 about their swivel axes 36a and b swing.

Next is with the two handles 26 . 28 one locking nose each 38a and b coupled, each with a recess 40a and b on the case 2 engage. The compression spring described above 30 acts in such a way on the handles 26 . 28 in that the locking lugs 38a and b in the rest position of the handles 26 . 28 in the recesses 40a and b engage and upon actuation of the handles 26 . 28 to get out of these (cf. 3 ).

In 1 stand the locking lugs 38a and b in engagement with the recesses 40a and b and the loading lever is locked against the weapon. By virtue of the coupling mechanism described above, operation of one or the other handle 26 . 28 the locking independently of the operation of the other handle 26 . 28 from the case 2 solved and so the loading lever 22 Approved. The operation of the handle 26 . 28 takes place in the pulling direction of the loading lever 22 , So in the longitudinal direction of the weapon back to the shaft. When operating only one of the two (or both) handles 26 . 28 then come both locking lugs 38a and b from the recesses 40a and b free.

In the in 1 shown rest position is the handle of the feed lever 22 on a contact surface of the housing 2 at. The actual through-loading takes place after the unlocking of the pass-through lever described above 22 by retracting the feed lever 22 on the handle 24 in the longitudinal direction of the weapon to the shaft 8th towards (cf. 3 ). At the same time the loading lever slides 22 in a leadership facility 44 of the same size in the housing 6 and is two on both sides of the loading lever 22 arranged, horizontally oriented guide tabs 56 guided, each with a Führungslängsnut within the guide device 44 engage (see 6a and 6b ).

One from the front end of the loading lever 22 vertically downwardly projecting nose 60 engages behind a driving edge 62 at the lock 6 , so she takes with the load and the forward flow of the closure 6 releases. The nose 60 has a bore extending in the longitudinal direction of the weapon 62 on. Through this runs a gas take-off bar (not shown), which after delivery of a shot so on the closure 6 acts, that this is led backwards to initiate the reloading process.

The semicircular recess 58 at the front end of the guide device 44 serves as a movement space for the control bolt when locking the lock 6 ,

To remove the pass-through lever 22 from the management facility 44 becomes the shutter 6 pulled back and swung down. This will give access to the loading lever 22 Approved. This is pulled so far back to his leadership noses 56 in the recesses 54 arrive, which are dimensioned so that the guide lugs 54 get out of the grooves and thus the load lever 22 For example, for cleaning purposes, down from the weapon is removable.

The loading lever 22 is about his length to the nose 60 out with a central longitudinal slot 50 executed, within which the closure carrier 18 with the gas rod can move back and forth. When loading the pass-through lever 22 takes the nose 60 the closure carrier 18 with, against the spring pressure of a closing spring (not shown), and brings it so in its cocked position. After loading, the loading lever becomes 22 back to its starting position in the housing 2 inserted and locked there while the shutter remains in its cocked position.

The loading lever 22 moves when loading within the guide device 44 the closure 6 as far as that with a gun firing the shutter 6 Insert a cartridge into the chamber and the shutter 6 closes or locks or the lock on a gun to shoot 6 until it is caught by the trigger mechanism behind the cartridge feed.

In a jam, the gunner the loading lever 22 pull back as described above, whereby the canted cartridges should be ejected and the weapon is reloaded.
