Definitions

  • the invention relates to an extractor for a revolver.
  • the extractor is used to transport the cartridges or cartridge cases out of the barrel of a revolver.
  • Revolvers are firearms in which the cartridges are arranged in individual cartridge chambers in a cartridge chamber designed as a rotating drum.
  • the drum also serves as a magazine.
  • the cartridges By rotating the drum, the cartridges can be successively aligned with the barrel of the revolver.
  • An extractor mechanism for the revolver with a conventional barrel includes an axis movable in the longitudinal direction of the barrel.
  • the axle is connected to outwardly directed body contact arms, the body contact arms being made of a slightly resilient material.
  • the extended ends of the case contact arms are shaped to project into a circumferential groove of the cartridge case. The cartridge or cartridge can thus be held in the ignition position.
  • the extractor can be operated in the usual way to convey the cases out of the drum.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an extractor for a revolver which does not weaken the barrel in the area where an extractor rod passes.
  • the extractor should also allow the cartridges to be positioned. should both rimmed and rimless cartridges of different lengths can be used.
  • the invention is a drum with an extractor for a revolver for extracting cartridges from cartridge chambers arranged in the drum. This invention is defined in claim 1.
  • the extractor according to the invention is arranged in the drum. It is used to eject the cartridge cases remaining in the cartridge chambers after the ammunition has been fired. By moving the extractor rod using the extractor star attached to it, all cartridge cases or cartridges are ejected at the same time.
  • the extractors are also referred to as ejectors or ejectors.
  • the starting point of the invention is an extractor for a revolver for extracting cartridges from cartridge chambers arranged in the barrel of the revolver.
  • the extractor is formed by an extractor rod which is arranged in the hub of the drum and is loaded with a spring and a multi-armed extractor star attached to it.
  • the extractor star with its extractor star arms extends in the radial direction for the orientation of the extractor rod. Furthermore, the extractor star arms have end sections that correspond to the shell of the cartridge.
  • the extractor star is designed as a flat plate and the extractor star arms of the extractor star each have an extractor star arm spring acting in the radial direction, which causes a movement of the extractor star arms in the radial direction towards the extractor rod through the end sections of the extractor star arms of the extractor star.
  • the spring-loaded extractor star arms designed in this way can advantageously adapt to the relevant diameter of the respective cartridge.
  • a form-fitting contact between the extractor star arms and the cartridges can be realized in an advantageous manner. It is thus possible for the cartridges to be conveyed out of the cartridge chambers arranged in the drum by the movement of the extractor in the extraction direction.
  • the extractor star can thus be used in an advantageous manner for different types of cartridges at the same time, since each extractor star arm adapts to the respective cartridge.
  • the extractor star consists of spring steel.
  • the spring referred to below as the extractor star arm spring, is implemented by milling cuts in the extractor star arms.
  • the cutouts are oriented transversely to the radial direction and also transversely to the orientation of the extractor rod.
  • a meandering or Z-shaped section of the extractor star thus remains between the milled-out portions, which implements the spring effect in an advantageous manner.
  • the extractor star is correspondingly easy to produce. There is no need to mount separate springs including the guide. The space required is small and the reliability of the spring-loaded extractor star arms is high.
  • the extractor star arm spring is designed in such a way that the spring deflection of the extractor star arm spring corresponds to the depth of a cartridge groove running around a rimless cartridge.
  • the end sections of the extractor star arms can thus advantageously adapt to the two relevant cartridge diameters due to the spring deflection.
  • the extractor rod is connected to a locking plate extending in the radial direction, the extractor star being arranged displaceably on the extractor rod, while the locking plate being arranged in front of the extractor star in the extraction direction.
  • the closure plate is provided with pins, each pin being assigned to an extractor star arm and the pins being oriented in the extraction direction.
  • the pins are arranged in such a way that one pin per extractor star arm interacts with at least one, preferably two, positioning bores arranged in the extractor star arm between the extractor star arm spring and the end sections of the extractor star arms.
  • the positioning holes are also oriented accordingly in the pull-out direction.
  • the distance between the positioning bores of an extractor star arm, which are arranged in the radial direction relative to one another, corresponds to the depth of the circumferential cartridge groove.
  • the two positioning bores advantageously allow the respective extractor star arm to be locked in two positions- a first position in which the end sections of the respective extractor star arm rest against the casing of a rimmed cartridge and a second position in which the end sections of the extractor star arm fit into the cartridge groove of a rimless cartridge protrude.
  • the spring-loaded extractor star arms can advantageously be fixed in such a way that they can be locked in a first position on the shell of the cartridge or in a second position in the circumferential cartridge groove.
  • the spring deflection is correspondingly limited by the locking and the position of the end sections is thus adapted to the currently relevant cartridge diameter of the jacket or the inside diameter of the cartridge groove.
  • the spring realizes that Adaptation to the relevant diameter and the pins with the positioning holes ensure that the respective extractor star arm is fixed when the extractor star is moved to extract the cartridge.
  • a ratchet is connected to the extractor rod after the extractor star in the extraction direction.
  • the ratchet a well-known component of a revolver, causes the drum to rotate after the trigger is actuated in such a way that the next cartridge after a cartridge has been fired is aligned with the barrel.
  • the end sections of the extractor star arms are provided with a chamfer or a contour that corresponds to the cartridge groove.
  • the beveling of the end sections of the star-shaped extractor arms facilitates the insertion of the cartridges.
  • the contour of the end sections preferably corresponds to the shape of the cartridge groove of a rimless cartridge, so that the form fit is improved and safe extraction of the cartridge is possible, even with a small cartridge groove depth.
  • FIG. 1 shows a known revolver in side view.
  • the revolver comprises a rotatable drum 1 with cartridge chambers (not shown) in which the cartridges (not shown) are arranged.
  • the cartridges can be aligned with the barrel 15 by rotating the drum 1 .
  • the extractor rod 2, 7 By actuating the extractor rod 2, 7 in the extraction direction AR, the cartridges, ie preferably the cartridge cases remaining after firing, can be conveyed out of the cartridge chamber of the drum 1.
  • the extractor rod 2 or the axle rod 7 (cf figures 2 , 3 , 6, 7 ) of the extractor bar 2 also forms the axis of rotation for the drum 1.
  • FIG 2 a view of the drum 1 with the extractor star 4 is shown from the rear.
  • the view is accordingly oriented in the direction opposite to the pull-out direction in the weft direction.
  • the extractor rod 2 or the axle rod 7 (cf Figures 3 , 6, 7 ) of the extractor rod 2 is connected to the six-armed flat, plate-shaped extractor star 4 at a predeterminable length (cf figure 7 ) slidably connected via a first path X1.
  • the extractor star arms 20 of the extractor star 4 are designed to be resilient in the radial direction (R) in relation to the extractor rod 2, 7.
  • the extractor star arms 20 protrude with their end sections 16 into the cartridge chambers 17 arranged in the drum 1, in which the cartridges 18 are placed.
  • Millings 22 are provided in the extractor star arms 20 to implement the suspension, so that the extractor star arms 20 are designed in a meandering or Z-shape in this area.
  • Extractor star arm springs 19 are advantageously integrated into the extractor star arms 20 (cf figure 2 ).
  • the extractor star 4 can be easily manufactured from a corresponding spring steel plate.
  • the end sections 16 of the extractor star arms 20 are pressed accordingly by the extractor star arm springs 19 against the casing of the bordered cartridges 18 or, in the case of rimless cartridges 18, into a cartridge groove 21 (cf Figures 3 , 6, 7 ) pushed.
  • the positioning holes 5 are used to hold the Figures 3 to 7 shown, fastened in the locking plate 3 and oriented in the pull-out direction AR 8.
  • a first locking position corresponds to the use of cartridges 18 with a border, with the end sections 16 of the extractor star arms 20 each lying against the casing of the cartridges 18 .
  • the second locking position is relevant when using rimless cartridges 18 with a circumferential cartridge groove 21 .
  • the end sections 16 of the extractor star arms 20 protrude into the circumferential cartridge groove 21 (compare also Figures 6 and 7 ).
  • a ratchet device 6 is also arranged on the star extractor 4 .
  • the ratchet device 6 as a separate part is only shown in a schematic representation.
  • the ratchet device 6 is used to rotate the drum 1, with the rotation being triggered by the trigger each time a cartridge 18 has been fired, so that the next cartridge 18 in each case is aligned with the barrel 15 (cf figure 1 ) is brought.
  • the figure 3 shows a longitudinal section through the barrel 1 of the revolver with the locking plate 3 attached to the extractor rod 2 and the slideable on the Extractor rod 2 attached extractor star 4.
  • the Figures 6 and 7 show details figure 3 , which illustrate the interaction of the closure plate 3 with the pins 8 fastened thereto and the extracting star 4 with the two positioning bores 5i, 5a arranged in the extracting star arms 20 in the extraction direction AR.
  • FIG 3 the closure plate 3, which is connected by means of a thread 10 to the extractor rod 2 or to an axle rod 7 screwed to the extractor rod 2, is shown.
  • the closure plate 3 In the resting state, the closure plate 3 is positioned in a small recess 11 in the hub area of the drum 1.
  • Pins 8 oriented in the direction of extraction AR are arranged on the closure plate 3 in the direction of the extractor star arms 20 .
  • the extractor rod 2 is guided displaceably in the extraction direction AR through the six-armed extractor star 4 along the first path X1, which is slightly longer than the length of the pins 8.
  • the end sections 16 of the extractor star arms 20 are pressed against the jacket or into the cartridge groove 21 of the respective cartridge 18 by the extractor star arm springs 19, which are only shown symbolically here.
