  • the invention relates to a sighting device for firearms, in particular for handguns, with the features of the preamble of claim 1.

  • Such sighting devices are basically available as permanently integrated weapon components in firearms, in particular in handguns such as revolvers or pistols. In the case of pistols, for example, they can be permanently installed on the slide surrounding the chamber. However, there are also such sighting devices as separate units that are arranged on the respective firearm and fixed there, for example fastened via retaining screws screwed into threaded holes provided in the corresponding weapon.
  • Such sighting devices which--as mentioned in the preamble of claim 1--have a base and arranged on this two sighting lever arms which can each be pivoted individually about a pivot axis, the pivot axes running parallel to one another.
  • the two visor lever arms are then each connected via their own adjusting device individually adjustable in their pivoting angle. Adjusting the pivoting angle of the sighting lever arms serves to adjust the height of the rear sight device, which is typically fixed to the second sighting lever arm, in order to adjust the point of impact of the firearm with regard to the height of the hit.
  • the fact that two sighting lever arms and two adjusting devices are provided here serves to offer a quick adjustment option.
  • a basic point of impact can be set, by adjusting the adjusting device on the second of the two sighting lever arms, for example, a daily setting can then be made, for example depending on a shooting discipline practiced with the firearm or also depending on the light conditions or visibility conditions on the respective shooting day (e.g. a competition day) or also depending on different ammunition used, in particular with different charges and the resulting different trajectories.
  • An adjustment to a distance of the target to be decided can also be made in this way, for example again according to different competition disciplines.
  • the aim of the invention is to remedy this situation, with a sighting device of the type mentioned at the outset being developed in such a way that it can be used to carry out several different basic settings of the sighting device for different hit heights and to be able to select them quickly and easily during use.
  • a sighting device for firearms in particular for handguns, has as essential components a base, a first sighting lever arm that can be pivoted about a first pivot axis relative to the base, a second sighting lever arm that can be pivoted relative to the base and relative to the first sighting lever arm, wherein the second pivot axis is parallel to the first pivot axis, rear sight means fixed to the second sight lever arm, first adjusting means for adjusting a swivel angle of the first sight lever arm relative to the base, and second adjusting means for adjusting a swivel angle of the second sight lever arm relative to the first sight lever arm and relative to the base.

  • this has a rotary control element which is fixed to the first sighting lever arm and can be rotated about an axis of rotation running perpendicularly to the first pivot axis.
  • the rotary control element can be rotated in particular relative to the first sighting lever arm and also relative to the base.
  • the rotary control element also has a plurality of adjusting elements which are distributed in different angular positions around the axis of rotation and with which it is equipped.
  • adjusting elements each have an adjusting tip directed towards a base of the base and can be adjusted in a fixed manner relative to the rotary adjusting element such that a distance between the adjusting tip and the rotary adjusting element can be variably adjusted in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation.
  • an abutment element is provided which is elevated above a surrounding area overlaid by the rotary adjustment element and which is formed to interact with one of the adjustment tips in each case.
  • This configuration now allows the presetting of a plurality of sight settings, in particular settings of the height of the hit, by a corresponding swivel adjustment of the rear sight.
  • the plurality of adjustment elements depict a corresponding number of preset or presettable pivoting angles of the first sighting lever arm relative to the base.
  • such an adjustment can be made for shooting at a target at a first distance, for example shooting at a target located 15 meters away in the case of a handgun, and/or for shooting with a first type of ammunition with a corresponding charge strength.
  • the firearm equipped with the sighting device according to the invention can now be zeroed for a second basic setting of the hit elevation, for example for shooting at another distance, e.g. to a target located 50 meters away and/or for shooting with ammunition with a different charge and thus a different projectile trajectory.
  • a corresponding number of sight presettings can now be made. If the firearm equipped with the sighting device according to the invention is then used, for example, in a competition in a specific shooting discipline, the presetting previously made by the user for this shooting discipline and/or a corresponding type of ammunition using a specific adjustment element can be changed by turning the rotary control element in the position in which the corresponding adjusting element rests with its adjusting tip on the abutment element can be quickly selected and thus set.

  • the adjustment elements can also be distributed at equal angular intervals around the axis of rotation. Such a distribution allows the arrangement of a comparatively large number of adjustment elements and facilitates the adjustment of the height of the hit, since a twisting of the Rotational control element results in the change from a first to an adjacent second adjusting element by an equal angle.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Visiereinrichtung für Schusswaffen, insbesondere für Kurzwaffen, mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a sighting device for firearms, in particular for handguns, with the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Derartige Visiereinrichtungen sind in vielfältiger Weise bekannt. Sie bilden einen Bestandteil einer Zieleinrichtung, mit dem die entsprechend ausgestatteten Schusswaffen mittels des Anvisierens eines Ziels über Kimme und Korn auf das Ziel ausgerichtet werden können.Such sighting devices are known in many ways. They form part of a target device with which the appropriately equipped firearms can be aimed at the target by aiming at a target using the rear sight.

Solche Visiereinrichtungen gibt es grundsätzlich als in Schusswaffen, insbesondere in Kurzwaffen, wie Revolver oder Pistolen, fest integrierte Waffenbestandteile. Bei Pistolen können Sie zum Beispiel auf dem Schlitten, der das Patronenlager umgibt, fest installiert ausgebildet sein. Es gibt solche Visiereinrichtungen aber auch als gesonderte Einheiten, die auf der jeweiligen Schusswaffe angeordnet und dort fixiert werden, zum Beispiel über in in der entsprechenden Waffe vorgesehenen Gewindebohrungen eingeschraubte Halteschrauben befestigt.Such sighting devices are basically available as permanently integrated weapon components in firearms, in particular in handguns such as revolvers or pistols. In the case of pistols, for example, they can be permanently installed on the slide surrounding the chamber. However, there are also such sighting devices as separate units that are arranged on the respective firearm and fixed there, for example fastened via retaining screws screwed into threaded holes provided in the corresponding weapon.

Dabei sind insbesondere auch schon, zum Beispiel aus DE 701 801 C , solche Visiereinrichtungen bekannt, die - wie in dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 genannt - eine Basis und an dieser angeordnet zwei individuell um jeweils eine Schwenkachse verschwenkbare Visierhebelarme aufweisen, wobei die Schwenkachsen zueinander parallel verlaufen. Die beiden Visierhebelarme sind dann jeweils über eine eigene Stelleinrichtung in ihrem Schwenkwinkel individuell einstellbar. Ein Verstellen der Schwenkwinkel der Visierhebelarme dient dabei einer Höhenverstellung der typischerweise an dem zweiten Visierhebelarm festgelegten Kimmeneinrichtung, um so die Treffpunktlage der Schusswaffe im Hinblick auf die Trefferhöhe einzustellen. Der Umstand, dass hier zwei Visierhebelarme und zwei Stelleinrichtungen vorgesehen sind, dient dabei dazu, eine schnelle Einstellmöglichkeit zu bieten. So kann zum Beispiel durch das Verstellen eines ersten der beiden Visierhebelarm eine grundsätzliche Treffpunktlage eingestellt werden, über ein Verstellen der Stelleinrichtung an dem zweiten der beiden Visierhebelarme kann dann beispielsweise eine Tageseinstellung vorgenommen werden, zum Beispiel abhängig von einer mit der Schusswaffe sportlich ausgeübten Schießdisziplin oder auch abhängig von den Lichtverhältnissen oder Sichtverhältnissen am jeweiligen Schießtag (zum Beispiel einem Wettkampftag) oder auch in Abhängigkeit von unterschiedlicher verwendeter Munition, insbesondere mit unterschiedlichen Ladungen und dadurch gegebenen unterschiedlichen Flugbahnen. Auch eine Anpassung an eine Entfernung des zu beschließenden Ziels kann auf diese Weise vorgenommen werden, zum Beispiel wiederum entsprechend unterschiedlicher Wettkampfdisziplinen.In particular, there are already, for example, from DE 701 801 C Such sighting devices are known which--as mentioned in the preamble of claim 1--have a base and arranged on this two sighting lever arms which can each be pivoted individually about a pivot axis, the pivot axes running parallel to one another. The two visor lever arms are then each connected via their own adjusting device individually adjustable in their pivoting angle. Adjusting the pivoting angle of the sighting lever arms serves to adjust the height of the rear sight device, which is typically fixed to the second sighting lever arm, in order to adjust the point of impact of the firearm with regard to the height of the hit. The fact that two sighting lever arms and two adjusting devices are provided here serves to offer a quick adjustment option. For example, by adjusting a first of the two sighting lever arms, a basic point of impact can be set, by adjusting the adjusting device on the second of the two sighting lever arms, for example, a daily setting can then be made, for example depending on a shooting discipline practiced with the firearm or also depending on the light conditions or visibility conditions on the respective shooting day (e.g. a competition day) or also depending on different ammunition used, in particular with different charges and the resulting different trajectories. An adjustment to a distance of the target to be decided can also be made in this way, for example again according to different competition disciplines.

Bekannte derartige Visiereinrichtungen weisen den Nachteil auf, dass sie nur einen geringen Bedienkomfort aufweisen, dass insbesondere die Einstellung von unterschiedlich voreingestellten Visiereinstellungen nur schwer möglich ist. Dies gilt insbesondere für solche Visiereinrichtungen, wie sie für Kurzwaffen verwendet werden, da diese bauartbedingt in ihren Dimensionierung begrenzt sind, was bisher dazu führte, dass hier komfortable und dennoch im Rahmen der gebotenen Dimensionen realisierbare Lösungen nicht gefunden werden konnten.Known sighting devices of this type have the disadvantage that they only have a low level of operating convenience, that in particular the adjustment of differently preset sighting settings is only possible with difficulty. This applies in particular to such sighting devices as are used for handguns, since these are limited in their dimensions due to their design, which has so far led to the fact that solutions that are comfortable and yet feasible within the scope of the dimensions offered could not be found.

Hier soll mit der Erfindung Abhilfe geschaffen werden, wobei insbesondere eine Visiereinrichtung der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend weitergebildet werden soll, dass mit ihr mehrere unterschiedliche Grundeinstellungen der Visiereinrichtung für unterschiedliche Trefferhöhenlagen vorgenommen und im Gebrauch einfach und schnell ausgewählt werden können.The aim of the invention is to remedy this situation, with a sighting device of the type mentioned at the outset being developed in such a way that it can be used to carry out several different basic settings of the sighting device for different hit heights and to be able to select them quickly and easily during use.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst mit einer Visiereinrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen einer solchen erfindungsgemäßen Visiereinrichtung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen 2 bis 15 angegeben.This object is achieved with a sighting device having the features of claim 1. Advantageous developments of such a sighting device according to the invention are specified in the dependent claims 2 to 15.

Erfindungsgemäß hat eine Visiereinrichtung für Schusswaffen, insbesondere für Kurzwaffen, zunächst einmal als wesentliche Bestandteile eine Basis, einen ersten, relativ zu der Basis um eine erste Schwenkachse verschwenkbaren Visierhebelarm, einen zweiten, relativ zu der Basis und relativ zu dem ersten Visierhebelarm verschwenkbaren Visierhebelarm, wobei die zweite Schwenkachse parallel zu der ersten Schwenkachse verläuft, eine an dem zweiten Visierhebelarm festgelegte Kimmeneinrichtung, eine erste Stelleinrichtung zum Einstellen eines Schwenkwinkels des ersten Visierhebelarms relativ zu der Basis und eine zweite Stelleinrichtung zum Einstellen eines Schwenkwinkels des zweiten Visierhebelarms relativ zu dem ersten Visierhebelarm und relativ zu der Basis.According to the invention, a sighting device for firearms, in particular for handguns, has as essential components a base, a first sighting lever arm that can be pivoted about a first pivot axis relative to the base, a second sighting lever arm that can be pivoted relative to the base and relative to the first sighting lever arm, wherein the second pivot axis is parallel to the first pivot axis, rear sight means fixed to the second sight lever arm, first adjusting means for adjusting a swivel angle of the first sight lever arm relative to the base, and second adjusting means for adjusting a swivel angle of the second sight lever arm relative to the first sight lever arm and relative to the base.

Das Besondere an der erfindungsgemäßen Visiereinrichtung besteht nun in der Ausgestaltung der ersten Stelleinrichtung. Erfindungsgemäß weist diese ein Dreh-Stellelement auf, das an dem ersten Visierhebelarm festgelegt und dabei um eine senkrecht zu der ersten Schwenkachse verlaufende Rotationsachse verdrehbar ist. Verdrehbar ist das Dreh-Stellelement dabei insbesondere relativ zu dem ersten Visierhebelarm und auch relativ zu der Basis. Das Dreh-Stellelement weist weiterhin eine Mehrzahl von in unterschiedlichen Winkelpositionen um die Rotationsachse verteilt angeordneten Justierelementen auf, mit denen es bestückt ist. Diese Justierelemente haben jeweils eine zu einem Grund der Basis gerichtete Stellspitze und sind relativ zu dem Dreh-Stellelement derart festlegbar justierbar, dass ein Abstand der Stellspitze zu dem Dreh-Stellelement in einer Richtung parallel zu der Rotationsachse veränderbar einstellbar ist. Schließlich ist an dem Grund der Basis ein über einen umgebenden, von dem Dreh-Stellelement überlagerten Bereich erhöhtes Widerlagerelement vorgesehen, welches zum Zusammenwirken mit jeweils einer der Stellspitzen gebildet ist.What is special about the sighting device according to the invention is the design of the first adjusting device. According to the invention, this has a rotary control element which is fixed to the first sighting lever arm and can be rotated about an axis of rotation running perpendicularly to the first pivot axis. The rotary control element can be rotated in particular relative to the first sighting lever arm and also relative to the base. The rotary control element also has a plurality of adjusting elements which are distributed in different angular positions around the axis of rotation and with which it is equipped. These adjusting elements each have an adjusting tip directed towards a base of the base and can be adjusted in a fixed manner relative to the rotary adjusting element such that a distance between the adjusting tip and the rotary adjusting element can be variably adjusted in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation. Finally, at the bottom of the base, an abutment element is provided which is elevated above a surrounding area overlaid by the rotary adjustment element and which is formed to interact with one of the adjustment tips in each case.

Diese erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung erlaubt nun die Voreinstellung einer Mehrzahl von Visiereinstellungen, insbesondere Einstellungen der Trefferhöhenlage, durch eine entsprechende Schwenkeinstellung der Kimmeneinrichtung. Die Mehrzahl von Justierelementen bildet eine entsprechende Anzahl von voreingestellten bzw. voreinstellbaren Schwenkwinkeln des ersten Visierhebelarms relativ zu der Basis ab. Durch Drehen des Dreh-Stellelements um die Rotationsachse kann nämlich jeweils eines der Justierelemente mit seiner Stellspitze auf dem Widerlagerelement positioniert werden und gibt so eine exakte Höhenpositionierung des Dreh-Stellelements relativ zu der Basis und damit einen Schwenkwinkels des ersten Visierhebelarms relativ zu der Basis vor. Das Justierelement kann nun in seiner Relativposition in dem Dreh-Stellelement so eingestellt werden, dass in dieser Visiereinstellung eine angestrebte Trefferhöhenlage erreicht wird. Zum Beispiel kann eine solche Einstellung für das Schießen auf ein Ziel in einer ersten Entfernung, zum Beispiel bei einer Kurzwaffe das Schießen auf eine in 15 Metern entfernt angeordnete Scheibe, erfolgen und/oder für das Schießen mit einer ersten Munitionssorte mit entsprechender Ladungsstärke. Durch Verdrehen des Dreh-Stellelements in eine weitere Position, in der ein anderes Justierelement mit seiner Stellspitze auf dem Widerlagerelement ruht, kann nun die mit der Erfindungsgemäßen Visiereinrichtung ausgerüstete Schusswaffe für eine zweite Grundeinstellung der Trefferhöhenlage eingeschossen werden, zum Beispiel für das Schießen auf eine andere Entfernung, beispielsweise auf eine in 50 Metern Entfernung angeordnete Scheibe und/oder für das Schießen mit einer Munition mit abweichender Ladung und damit anderer Geschossflugbahn. Abhängig von der Anzahl der in dem Dreh-Stellelement angeordneten Justierelemente können nun in einer entsprechenden Anzahl Visiervoreinstellungen vorgenommen werden. Wird die mit der erfindungsgemäßen Visiereinrichtung ausgestattete Schusswaffe dann zum Beispiel in einem Wettkampf in einer bestimmten Schießdisziplin eingesetzt, so kann die für diese Schießdisziplin und/oder eine entsprechende Munitionsart von dem Anwender zuvor unter Einsatz eines bestimmten Justierelementes vorgenommene Voreinstellung durch Verdrehen des Dreh-Stellelements in die Position, in der das entsprechende Justierelement mit seiner Stellspitze auf dem Widerlagerelement ruht, schnell ausgewählt und somit eingestellt werden. Sollte, zum Beispiel aufgrund gegebener Lichtverhältnisse oder anderer zum Zeitpunkt des Schießen, insbesondere des Wettkampfs, gegebener Bedingungen die Treffpunktlage der Höhe nach eine weitere Korrektur erfordern, so kann dies erfindungsgemäß durch Betätigen der zweiten Stelleeinrichtung und damit Verschwenken des zweiten Visierhebelarms geschehen, sodass die Grundeinstellung, die durch entsprechendes Einstellen des jeweiligen Justierelementes erfolgt ist, nicht verändert werden muss. Der Schütze kann diese Grundeinstellung beibehalten und jedes Mal dann, wenn er eine für diese Grundeinstellung passende Zielsituation vorfindet, zum Beispiel eine bestimmte Wettkampfdisziplin schießt, unverändert auf diese Grundeinstellung zurückgreifen.This configuration according to the invention now allows the presetting of a plurality of sight settings, in particular settings of the height of the hit, by a corresponding swivel adjustment of the rear sight. The plurality of adjustment elements depict a corresponding number of preset or presettable pivoting angles of the first sighting lever arm relative to the base. By turning the rotary control element about the axis of rotation, one of the adjusting elements can be positioned with its adjusting tip on the abutment element and thus specifies an exact height positioning of the rotary control element relative to the base and thus a pivoting angle of the first sighting lever arm relative to the base. The adjustment element can now be set in its relative position in the rotary setting element in such a way that a target height of impact is achieved in this sight setting. For example, such an adjustment can be made for shooting at a target at a first distance, for example shooting at a target located 15 meters away in the case of a handgun, and/or for shooting with a first type of ammunition with a corresponding charge strength. By rotating the rotary adjustment element into a further position, in which another adjustment element rests with its adjustment tip on the abutment element, the firearm equipped with the sighting device according to the invention can now be zeroed for a second basic setting of the hit elevation, for example for shooting at another distance, e.g. to a target located 50 meters away and/or for shooting with ammunition with a different charge and thus a different projectile trajectory. Depending on the number of adjusting elements arranged in the rotary setting element, a corresponding number of sight presettings can now be made. If the firearm equipped with the sighting device according to the invention is then used, for example, in a competition in a specific shooting discipline, the presetting previously made by the user for this shooting discipline and/or a corresponding type of ammunition using a specific adjustment element can be changed by turning the rotary control element in the position in which the corresponding adjusting element rests with its adjusting tip on the abutment element can be quickly selected and thus set. Should, for example, due to the given lighting conditions or other given at the time of shooting, especially the competition Conditions that require a further correction in terms of the height of the point of impact, this can be done according to the invention by actuating the second adjustment device and thus pivoting the second sighting lever arm, so that the basic setting, which is made by setting the respective adjustment element accordingly, does not have to be changed. The shooter can retain this basic setting and return to this basic setting unchanged every time he finds a target situation that fits this basic setting, for example shooting a specific competition discipline.

Somit erlaubt die erfindungsgemäße Visiereinrichtung einerseits die Voreinstellung einer Mehrzahl von Visiereinstellungen für unterschiedliche Anschläge, unterschiedliche Wettkampfdisziplinen, unterschiedliche verwendete Munition oder dergleichen. Sie gestattet andererseits eine Tageseinstellung mittels der zweiten Stelleinrichtung und ein über diese erreichtes Verschwenken des zweiten Visierhebelarms relativ zu der Basis und auch relativ zu dem ersten Visierhebelarm. Die konstruktive Umsetzung mit dem Dreh-Stellelement erlaubt dabei eine kompakte Bauweise, die insbesondere auch die für Kurzwaffen bemessenen geringen Dimensionen für derartige Visiereinrichtungen einhält, zugleich aber das Anordnen einer Mehrzahl von Justierelementen ermöglicht, somit eine Mehrzahl von Voreinstellungen für die Visiereinrichtung erlaubt. In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltungsvariante können insbesondere sechs Justierelemente auf dem Dreh-Stellelement vorgesehen sein, sodass sechs Visiergrundeinstellungen vorgenommen werden können.Thus, the sighting device according to the invention allows, on the one hand, the presetting of a plurality of sighting settings for different stops, different competition disciplines, different ammunition used or the like. On the other hand, it allows a setting of the day by means of the second adjusting device and a pivoting of the second visor lever arm relative to the base and also relative to the first visor lever arm. The constructive implementation with the rotary control element allows a compact design, which in particular also complies with the small dimensions for such sighting devices measured for handguns, but at the same time allows the arrangement of a plurality of adjusting elements, thus allowing a plurality of presettings for the sighting device. In a preferred embodiment variant, in particular six adjustment elements can be provided on the rotary setting element, so that six basic visor settings can be made.

Die Justierelemente können insbesondere entlang des Umfangs eines in einer Ebene senkrecht zur Rotationsachse gelegenen, um den Schnittpunkt der Rotationsachse mit dieser Ebene gezogenen Kreis angeordnet sein. Eine solche Anordnung stellt Anordnung dar, mit der sich die jeweiligen Justierelemente sehr einfach in Bezug auf das Widerlagerelement ausrichten und auf diesem abstützen lassen. Insbesondere können die Justierelemente auch in gleichmäßigen Winkelabständen um die Rotationsachse verteilt angeordnet sein. Eine solche Verteilung erlaubt die Anordnung einer vergleichsweise großen Zahl von Justierelementen und erleichtert die Einstellung der Trefferhöhenlage, da jeweils ein Verdrehen des Dreh-Stellelements um einen gleichen Winkel den Wechsel von einem ersten zu einem benachbarten zweiten Justierelement ergibt.The adjusting elements can in particular be arranged along the circumference of a circle located in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation and drawn around the point of intersection of the axis of rotation with this plane. Such an arrangement represents an arrangement with which the respective adjustment elements can be aligned very easily in relation to the abutment element and can be supported on it. In particular, the adjustment elements can also be distributed at equal angular intervals around the axis of rotation. Such a distribution allows the arrangement of a comparatively large number of adjustment elements and facilitates the adjustment of the height of the hit, since a twisting of the Rotational control element results in the change from a first to an adjacent second adjusting element by an equal angle.

Die Justierelemente können insbesondere als Madenschrauben gebildet sein, die in Gewindebohrungen in dem Dreh-Stellelement eingeschraubt sind. Die Gewindebohrungen verlaufen dabei dann typischerweise senkrecht zu der ersten Schwenkachse.The adjustment elements can be formed in particular as grub screws that are screwed into threaded holes in the rotary actuator. The threaded holes then typically run perpendicular to the first pivot axis.

Mit Vorteil kann weiterhin vorgesehen sein, dass die Stellspitzen der Justierelemente abgerundet, insbesondere kugelkalottenförmig, gebildet sind und dass das Widerlagerelement eine zu der Form der abgerundeten Stellspitzen der Justierelemente komplementär korrespondierende Vertiefung aufweist. Durch eine solche Ausgestaltung ergibt sich eine formschlüssige Verbindung zwischen Stellspitze eines eingestellten Justierelements und Widerlagerelement, sodass verhindert wird, dass das Dreh-Stelleelement versehentlich verdreht werden kann und dadurch die angewählte Grundeinstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Visiereinrichtung unbeabsichtigt verloren geht. Durch die komplementäre Ausbildung und die Vertiefung in dem Widerlagerelement ergibt sich also eine Art Schnapp- oder Rastverbindung.Provision can also advantageously be made for the positioning tips of the adjusting elements to be rounded, in particular in the shape of a spherical cap, and for the abutment element to have a depression that complements the shape of the rounded positioning tips of the adjusting elements. Such a configuration results in a form-fitting connection between the adjusting tip of an adjusted adjusting element and the abutment element, preventing the rotating adjusting element from being accidentally rotated and thus the selected basic setting of the sighting device according to the invention being accidentally lost. The complementary design and the indentation in the abutment element result in a type of snap or snap-in connection.

Weiterhin kann mit Vorteil vorgesehen sein, dass das Dreh-Stellelement zwischen der Basis und dem ersten Visierhebelarm angeordnet ist und dass ein mit dem Dreh-Stellelement zum Verdrehen des Dreh-Stellelements um die Rotationsachse fest verbundenes Betätigungselement auf einer der Basis abgewandten Oberseite des ersten Visierhebelarms vorgesehen ist. Durch diese Ausgestaltung kann das Dreh-Stellelement, welches verdeckt angeordnet ist, dennoch einfach verdreht werden, indem hierfür das auf der Oberseite des ersten Visierhebelarms frei zugänglich angeordnete Betätigungselement benutzt wird.Furthermore, it can advantageously be provided that the rotary control element is arranged between the base and the first sighting lever arm and that an actuating element firmly connected to the rotary control element for rotating the rotary control element about the axis of rotation is on an upper side of the first sighting lever arm facing away from the base is provided. With this configuration, the rotary control element, which is arranged in a concealed manner, can nevertheless be easily rotated by using the freely accessible actuating element on the upper side of the first visor lever arm.

Um die durch die Mehrzahl der Justierelemente im Zusammenspiel mit dem Widerlagerelement vorgegebenen unterschiedlichen Grundeinstellungen der Visiereinrichtung besser kenntlich zu machen, ist es von Vorteil, wenn entsprechende Markierungen vorgesehen sind, anhand derer der Benutzer erkennen kann, welches der Justierelemente gerade mit dem Widerlagerelement zusammenwirkt und dadurch eine voreingestellte Grundeinstellung der Visiereinrichtung einstellt. Dies kann zum Beispiel dadurch geschehen, dass entsprechende Ziffern für die Markierung verwendet werden, sodass der Schütze zum Beispiel Grundeinstellungen von 1 bis 6 vornehmen und diese entsprechend der Markierungen einfach wieder auswählen kann. Im Falle eines wie vorstehend beschrieben vorgesehenen Betätigungselements können entsprechende Markierungen zum Beispiel auf dem Betätigungselement angeordnet sein.In order to make the different basic settings of the sighting device specified by the plurality of adjusting elements in interaction with the abutment element easier to recognize, it is advantageous if corresponding markings are provided by means of which the user can recognize which of the adjusting elements is currently interacting with the abutment element and thereby setting a preset basic setting of the sighting device. This can be done, for example, by using corresponding numbers for the marking, so that the shooter can make basic settings from 1 to 6, for example, and simply select them again according to the markings. In the case of an actuating element provided as described above, corresponding markings can be arranged, for example, on the actuating element.

Um in der Konstruktion, in der das Dreh-Stellelement zwischen der Basis und dem ersten Visierhebelarm gleichermaßen verdeckt angeordnet ist, die Justierelemente für eine Einstellung des Abstandes der jeweiligen Stellspitze zu dem Dreh-Stellelement zugänglich zu haben, können in dem Betätigungselement entsprechend Ausnehmungen vorgesehen sein, die, wenn das ansprechende Justierelement mit seiner Stellspitze in dem Widerlagerelement abgestellt ist, mit einem Durchbruch durch den ersten Visierhebelarm zu fluchten, sodass durch die Ausnehmung und den Durchbruch das auf dem Widerlagerelement platzierte Justierelement erreicht werden kann, zum Beispiel eine Madenschraube mit einem entsprechenden Werkzeug, zum Beispiel einem Innensechskant, angegriffen werden kann.In order to have access to the adjustment elements for adjusting the distance between the respective control tip and the rotary control element in the construction in which the rotary control element is arranged equally concealed between the base and the first sighting lever arm, corresponding recesses can be provided in the actuating element which, when the responsive adjustment element is parked with its adjustment tip in the abutment element, to align with an opening through the first visor lever arm, so that the adjustment element placed on the abutment element can be reached through the recess and the opening, for example a grub screw with a corresponding one Tool, for example a hexagon socket, can be attacked.

In der erfindungsgemäßen Visiereinrichtung kann insbesondere der erste Visierhebelarm an der Basis um die erste Schwenkachse verschwenkbar angelagert sein, der zweite Visierhebelarm kann an dem ersten Visierhebelarm verschwenkbar angelagert sein. Hierzu können zum Beispiel entsprechende Stifte als Schwenkachsen durch die Basis und den ersten Visierhebelarm geführt bzw. durch einen Abschnitt des ersten Visierhebelarms und den zweiten Visierhebelarm geführt sein.In the sighting device according to the invention, the first sighting lever arm can be attached to the base such that it can pivot about the first pivot axis, and the second sighting lever arm can be attached to the first sighting lever arm so that it can pivot. For this purpose, for example, corresponding pins can be guided as pivot axes through the base and the first sighting lever arm or through a section of the first sighting lever arm and the second sighting lever arm.

Für ein einfaches Verstellen der Stellelemente und für ein Halten der so eingestellten Schwenkeinstellungen der beiden Visierhebelarm kann vorgesehen sein, dass Federmittel den ersten und den zweiten Visierhebelarm in eine Grundstellung vorspannen, wobei diese Grundstellung eine auf die Basis zu gerichtete Schwenkstellung der beiden Visierhebelarme ist. So werden durch ein Wegschwenken des jeweiligen Visierhebelarms von der Basis, das durch Betätigen der jeweiligen Stelleinrichtung erfolgt, die Federmittel gespannt und halten durch den so erzeugten Gegendruck die Visierhebelarme sicher in der eingestellten Schwenkstellung, sodass so auch die Höheneinstellung der Visiereinrichtung sicher gehalten wird.For easy adjustment of the adjusting elements and for maintaining the pivot settings of the two visor lever arms that have been set in this way, provision can be made for spring means to prestress the first and second visor lever arms into a basic position, with this basic position being a pivot position of the two visor lever arms directed towards the base. So by panning away of the respective visor lever arm from the base, which takes place by actuating the respective adjusting device, the spring means are tensioned and, through the counter-pressure thus generated, hold the visor lever arms securely in the set swivel position, so that the height adjustment of the sighting device is also securely held.

In der erfindungsgemäßen Visiereinrichtung kann die zweite Stelleinrichtung insbesondere eine mit einer Gewindeachse senkrecht zu der zweiten Schwenkachse ausgerichtete, an dem zweiten Visierhebelarm in Richtung ihrer Gewindeachse unverschiebbar festgelegte, gegenüber dem zweiten Visierhebelarm um die Gewindeachse rotierbare und in einer Gewindebohrung in dem ersten Visierhebelarm eingeschraubte Stellschraube enthalten. Mit dieser kann durch ein Einschrauben bzw. Ausschrauben der Stellschraube in den ersten Visierhebelarm, bzw. aus diesem heraus die Schwenkstellung des zweiten Visierhebelarms relativ zu dem ersten Visierhebelarm und damit auch relativ zu der Basis verändert werden. Diese zweite Stelleinrichtung kann, wie bereits erwähnt, insbesondere einer Tageseinstellung der Visiereinrichtung und damit der Höhentreffpunktlage der Waffe dienen. Um auch hier dem Schützen bzw. dem Anwender der Visiereinrichtung eine bessere Orientierung zu geben, können für die zweite Stelleinrichtung ebenfalls Einstellmarkierungen vorgesehen sein, zum Beispiel angeordnet auf einem Kopf einer wie vorstehend beschrieben vorgesehenen Stellschraube. Dies kann zum Beispiel eine Skaleneinteilung sein mit einer deutlich markierten Nullstellung oder dergleichen.In the sighting device according to the invention, the second adjusting device can contain, in particular, an adjusting screw which is aligned with a threaded axis perpendicular to the second pivot axis, is fixed immovably on the second sighting lever arm in the direction of its threaded axis, can be rotated about the threaded axis relative to the second sighting lever arm and is screwed into a threaded bore in the first sighting lever arm . With this, the pivoting position of the second sighting lever arm can be changed relative to the first sighting lever arm and thus also relative to the base by screwing or unscrewing the adjusting screw into the first sighting lever arm or out of it. As already mentioned, this second adjusting device can be used in particular to set the sighting device for the day and thus the altitude point of impact of the weapon. In order to give the shooter or the user of the sighting device better orientation here too, setting markings can also be provided for the second adjusting device, for example arranged on a head of an adjusting screw provided as described above. This can be, for example, a scale with a clearly marked zero position or the like.

Um die erfindungsgemäße Visiereinrichtung auch im Hinblick auf eine horizontale Treffpunktlage einstellen zu können, ist mit Vorteil vorgesehen, dass die Kimmeneinrichtung auf dem zweiten Visierhebelarm in einer Richtung parallel zu der zweiten Schwenkachse in ihrer Position verstellbar festgelegt ist. Hier kann zum Beispiel eine in einer Schiene geführte, durch eine Stellschraube verlagerbare schlittenartige Konstruktion vorgesehen sein.In order to also be able to adjust the sighting device according to the invention with regard to a horizontal point of impact, it is advantageously provided that the rear sight device is fixed in position on the second sighting lever arm in a direction parallel to the second pivot axis. Here, for example, a slide-like structure guided in a rail and displaceable by means of an adjusting screw can be provided.

Um die erfindungsgemäße Visiereinrichtung mit unterschiedlichen Kimmen und Kimmenformen bestücken zu können, kann mit Vorteil vorgesehen sein, dass die Kimmeneinrichtung eine Kimmenstückaufnahme zum lösbaren Befestigen unterschiedlicher Kimmenstücke aufweist. Eine solche Kimmenstückaufnahme kann dabei die Kimmenstücke verrastend aufnehmen oder mittels eines Befestigungselementes, zum Beispiel eines Bajonettstückes oder einer Schraube befestigt. Die Kimmenstücke können dabei zum Beispiel die Form von Kimmenblättern aufweisen.In order to be able to equip the sighting device according to the invention with different rear sights and rear sight shapes, it can be advantageously provided that the Rear sight device has a rear sight piece receptacle for releasably attaching different rear sight pieces. Such a chine piece receptacle can hold the chine pieces in a latching manner or fastened by means of a fastening element, for example a bayonet piece or a screw. The rear sight pieces can have the shape of rear sight blades, for example.

Eine weitere mögliche Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die erfindungsgemäße Visiereinrichtung in der Basis eine Picatinny-Schiene aufweist, die den Bereich des ersten und des zweiten Visierhebelarms überdeckt. Die Anordnung einer solchen Picatinny-Schiene ermöglicht es, weitere oder andere Visiervorrichtungen auf der erfindungsgemäßen Visiereinrichtung anzuordnen, zum Beispiel ein Lichtpunkt-Deutvisier oder dergleichen. So gibt es zum Beispiel im Schießwettkampf Disziplinen, bei denen derartige Visiervorrichtungen zum Einsatz kommen. Diese können dann auf der erfindungsgemäßen Visiereinrichtung angeordnet und in der Picatinny-Schiene festgelegt werden, ohne dass die Visiereinrichtung etwa von der Schusswaffe abgenommen werden muss.A further possible embodiment of the invention provides that the sighting device according to the invention has a Picatinny rail in the base, which covers the area of the first and the second sighting lever arm. The arrangement of such a Picatinny rail makes it possible to arrange further or other sighting devices on the sighting device according to the invention, for example a light point deut sight or the like. For example, there are disciplines in shooting competitions in which such sighting devices are used. These can then be arranged on the sighting device according to the invention and fixed in the Picatinny rail without the sighting device having to be removed from the firearm, for example.

Die erfindungsgemäße Visiereinrichtung kann, wie dies in der Erläuterung zum Stand der Technik für vergleichbare Visiereinrichtungen bereits erwähnt worden ist, als separate Einheit zum Befestigen auf einer Schusswaffe, insbesondere einer Kurzwaffe, ausgebildet sein. Sie kann aber auch als integraler Bestandteil in einer Schusswaffe, insbesondere Kurzwaffe, zum Beispiel als Bestandteil einer Laufbaugruppe, einer Rahmenbaugruppe, eines Verschlusses oder eines Patronenlagergehäuses, ausgebildet sein.As has already been mentioned in the explanation of the prior art for comparable sighting devices, the sighting device according to the invention can be designed as a separate unit for attachment to a firearm, in particular a handgun. However, it can also be designed as an integral component in a firearm, in particular a handgun, for example as a component of a barrel assembly, a frame assembly, a breech or a cartridge chamber housing.

In den Figuren ist in unterschiedlichen Ansichten und mit zwei in einem Detail sich unterscheidenden Ausgestaltungsvarianten eine mögliche Ausführungsform einer erfindungsgemäßen Visiereinrichtung für Schusswaffen, insbesondere für Kurzwaffen, dargestellt und allgemein mit dem Bezugszeichen 1 bezeichnet.In the figures, a possible embodiment of a sighting device according to the invention for firearms, in particular for handguns, is shown in different views and with two design variants that differ in one detail and is generally denoted by reference numeral 1 .

Die Visiereinrichtung 1 enthält drei wesentliche Komponenten, nämlich eine Basis 2, einen ersten Visierhebelarm 3 und einen zweiten Visierhebelarm 4. Der erste Visierhebelarm 3 ist mittels eines Stiftes 8, dessen Längsachse eine erste Schwenkachse definiert, an der Basis 2 angelagert. Hierzu sind in der Basis 2 Bohrungen 24 vorgesehen, durch die hindurch der Stift 8 geführt ist und weiter durch eine hier nicht näher bezeichnete Bohrung in dem ersten Visierhebelarm 3, die mit den Bohrungen 24 fluchtet.The sighting device 1 comprises three essential components, namely a base 2, a first sighting lever arm 3 and a second sighting lever arm 4. The first sighting lever arm 3 is attached to the base 2 by means of a pin 8, the longitudinal axis of which defines a first pivot axis. For this purpose, 2 holes 24 are provided in the base, through which the pin 8 is guided and further through a hole in the first visor lever arm 3, not designated in detail here, which is aligned with the holes 24.

Der zweite Visierhebelarm 4 ist über einen Stift 19, dessen Längsachse eine zweite Schwenkachse definiert, an dem ersten Visierhebelarm 4 verschwenkbar festgelegt. An einem dem Stift 19 gegenüberliegenden Längsende ist an dem zweiten Visierhebelarm 14 eine Kimmeneinrichtung 5 angeordnet. Diese enthält eine hier nicht näher gezeigte Kimmenstückaufnahme, in der unterschiedliche Kimmenstücke angeordnet und befestigt werden können, die unterschiedliche Kimmengeometrien aufweisen können und/oder Kimmen unterschiedlicher Bauart. In den figürlichen Darstellungen ist eine an sich bekannte Halbkreiskimme in der Kimmeneinrichtung 5 angeordnet. Die Kimmeneinrichtung 5 ist dabei zum Einstellen einer seitlichen Treffpunktlage der mit der erfindungsgemäßen Visiereinrichtung 1 ausgestatteten Schusswaffe in einer Richtung quer, insbesondere senkrecht, zu einer Längsrichtung der Anordnung aus erstem Visierhebelarm 3 und zweitem Visierhebelarm 4 verlagerbar eingerichtet. Zum Verstellen der Querposition der Kimmeneinrichtung 5 ist ein über eine Stellschraube 16 zu bedienende Stellmechanismus vorgesehen.The second visor lever arm 4 is pivotably fixed to the first visor lever arm 4 via a pin 19 whose longitudinal axis defines a second pivot axis. A rear sight device 5 is arranged on the second sighting lever arm 14 at a longitudinal end opposite the pin 19 . This contains a rear sight piece receptacle, not shown in detail here, in which different rear sight pieces can be arranged and fastened, which can have different rear sight geometries and/or rear sights of different designs. A semicircular rear sight, known per se, is arranged in the rear sight device 5 in the figurative representations. The rear sight device 5 is designed to be displaceable in a direction transverse, in particular perpendicular, to a longitudinal direction of the arrangement of the first sighting lever arm 3 and the second sighting lever arm 4 for setting a lateral point of impact of the firearm equipped with the sighting device 1 according to the invention. For adjusting the transverse position the rear sight device 5 is provided with an adjusting mechanism that can be operated via an adjusting screw 16 .

Für eine Einstellung der Trefferhöhenlage einer mit der erfindungsgemäßen Visiereinrichtung 1 ausgestatteten Schusswaffe, insbesondere einer Kurzwaffe, wie einer Pistole oder eines Revolvers, sind zwei Stelleinrichtungen vorgesehen. Mit einer ersten Stelleinrichtung 6 wird die Schwenkposition des ersten Visierhebelarms 3 eingestellt und darüber auch eine Schwenkposition des mit dem ersten Visierhebelarm 3 verbundenen zweiten Visierhebelarms 4 und somit die Höhenlage der Kimmeneinrichtung 5. Eine zweite Stelleinrichtung 7 ermöglicht ein separates Verstellen der Schwenkposition des zweiten Visierhebelarms 4 relativ zu dem ersten Visierhebelarm 3 und der Basis 2, um auch so eine Höhenverstellung der Kimmeneinrichtung 5 zu erreichen.Two adjusting devices are provided for adjusting the elevation of a firearm equipped with the sighting device 1 according to the invention, in particular a handgun such as a pistol or a revolver. A first adjusting device 6 is used to set the pivoting position of the first sighting lever arm 3 and, via this, also a pivoting position of the second sighting lever arm 4 connected to the first sighting lever arm 3 and thus the vertical position of the rear sight device 5. A second setting device 7 enables the swiveling position of the second sighting lever arm 4 to be adjusted separately relative to the first sighting lever arm 3 and the base 2 in order to also achieve a height adjustment of the rear sight device 5 in this way.

Die beiden Stelleinrichtungen, erste Stelleinrichtung 6 und zweite Stelleinrichtung 7, dienen dabei, wie nachstehend noch näher erläutert werden wird, unterschiedlichen Einstellungsmöglichkeiten. So ist die erste Stelleinrichtung 6 dafür ausgelegt, eine Mehrzahl von Voreinstellungen für die Trefferhöheneinstellung der Visiereinrichtung 1 vornehmen und einfach zwischen diesen Voreinstellungen wechseln zu können. Die zweite Stelleinrichtung 7 dient einer Anpassung der anhand einer ausgewählten Voreinstellung vorgenommenen Visiereinstellung an in der konkreten Gebrauchssituation der mit der Visiereinrichtung 1 ausgestatteten Schusswaffe auftretende Besonderheiten, zum Beispiel besondere Lichtverhältnisse oder dergleichen, und kann als Tagesvisiereinstellung bezeichnet werden. Die Besonderheit der erfindungsgemäßen Visiereinrichtung 1 liegt dabei in der Ausgestaltung der ersten Stelleinrichtung 6, die nachstehend unter Verweis auf die Figuren und die dort gezeigten Elemente näher erläutert wird.The two adjusting devices, first adjusting device 6 and second adjusting device 7, are used for different setting options, as will be explained in more detail below. The first adjusting device 6 is thus designed to be able to make a number of presettings for adjusting the height of impact of the sighting device 1 and to be able to easily switch between these presettings. The second adjusting device 7 is used to adapt the sight setting made using a selected preset to the specific situation in which the firearm equipped with the sighting device 1 is used, for example special lighting conditions or the like, and can be referred to as a day sight setting. The special feature of the sighting device 1 according to the invention lies in the design of the first adjusting device 6, which is explained in more detail below with reference to the figures and the elements shown there.

Zuvor ist hier aber noch darauf zu verweisen, dass die Visiereinrichtung 1, wie sie in den Figuren 1, 2, 3 und 5 gezeigt ist, eine an der Basis 2 ausgebildete sogenannte Picatinny-Schiene aufweist, bei der es sich um eine genormte Anschlusseinrichtung handelt zum Anbringen von Zubehörteilen an Waffen. Zu erkennen sind die typischen Bestandteile der Picatinny-Schiene, nämlich die seitlichen Keilnuten, bzw. Schwalbenschwanznuten 9 sowie die quer zu den Keilnuten 9 geführten, im Abstand durch den Standard festgelegten Quernuten 10. Das Besondere bei der erfindungsgemäßen Visiereinrichtung 1 und der mit dieser ausgeführten Picatinny-Schiene besteht nun darin, dass sich die Picatinny-Schiene in einen Bereich über den ersten Visierhebelarm 3 und den zweiten Visierhebelarm 4 hinaus erstreckt, also heranreicht bis nahezu an das Ende der Basis 2, an dem die Kimmeneinrichtung 5 angeordnet ist. Dies ermöglicht, auch aufgrund der durch die gezeigte Konstruktion erhaltenen flachen Bauweise der Visiereinrichtung 1, dass Zubehörteile, wie zum Beispiel ein Lichtpunkt-Deutvisier, auf die Visiereinrichtung 1 aufgesetzt und mithilfe der Picatinny-Schiene dort festgelegt werden können, ohne dass die Visiereinrichtung 1 von der Waffe entfernt werden müsste. Gerade im Zusammenhang mit einer Kurzwaffe kann ein solches Zubehörteil auf der Waffe sehr weit in Richtung der der Laufmündung gegenüberliegenden Rückseite gelagert angeordnet werden, was für den Gebrauchskomfort und die Schießleistung von klarem Vorteil ist. Die erfindungsgemäße Visiereinrichtung 1 kann aber auch ohne eine solche Picatinny-Schiene verwirklicht werden, wie zum Beispiel in der Figur 4 gezeigt ist. In allen Figuren ist die Visiereinrichtung 1 als eigenständiges Bauteil dargestellt, welches über Bohrungen 17 in der Basis 2 mittels dort eingelassener Schrauben, die in entsprechende Gewindebohrungen in einem Gegenstück auf der Schusswaffe eingeschraubt werden, an einer Schusswaffe festgelegt werden kann. Es ist aber im Rahmen der Erfindung ebenso gut möglich, die erfindungsgemäße Visiereinrichtung 1 als festen und integralen Bestandteil einer Schusswaffe auszubilden, wobei dann insbesondere die Basis 2 in einem Bauteil der Schusswaffe integriert ausgebildet ist.Before that, however, it should be pointed out that the sighting device 1, as shown in Figures 1, 2 , 3 and 5 is shown, has a so-called Picatinny rail formed on the base 2, which is a standardized connecting device for attaching accessories to weapons. The typical components of the Picatinny rail can be seen, namely the lateral ones Keyways, or dovetail grooves 9, as well as the transverse grooves 10 running transversely to the keyways 9 and at a distance specified by the standard. What is special about the sighting device 1 according to the invention and the Picatinny rail designed with it is that the Picatinny rail is in extends an area beyond the first sighting lever arm 3 and the second sighting lever arm 4, that is to say almost as far as the end of the base 2 on which the rear sight device 5 is arranged. This allows, also due to the flat design of the sighting device 1 obtained by the construction shown, that accessories, such as a light point deut sight, can be placed on the sighting device 1 and fixed there with the help of the Picatinny rail, without the sighting device 1 of of the weapon would have to be removed. Especially in connection with a handgun, such an accessory can be mounted on the weapon very far in the direction of the rear side opposite the barrel muzzle, which is of clear advantage for the comfort of use and the shooting performance. However, the sighting device 1 according to the invention can also be realized without such a Picatinny rail, as for example in FIG figure 4 is shown. In all figures, the sighting device 1 is shown as an independent component which can be fixed to a firearm via bores 17 in the base 2 by means of screws embedded there, which are screwed into corresponding threaded bores in a counterpart on the firearm. However, within the scope of the invention it is just as possible to design the sighting device 1 according to the invention as a fixed and integral part of a firearm, in which case the base 2 in particular is then designed to be integrated into a component of the firearm.

Nachfolgend wird nun die Besonderheit der ersten Stelleinrichtung 6, mit der die Mehrzahl an voreingestellter Trefferhöhenlagen der Visiereinrichtung 1 bzw. der mit dieser ausgestatteten Schusswaffe, eingestellt und bequem angewählt werden können, näher erläutert.The special feature of the first adjusting device 6, with which the plurality of preset heights of impact of the sighting device 1 or the firearm equipped with it, can be set and easily selected, is now explained in more detail below.

Kernstück der ersten Stelleinrichtung 6 ist ein Dreh-Stellelement 20, welches in der gezeigten Ausführungsform scheibenförmig gebildet und zwischen der Basis 2, genauer dem Grund 30 der Basis 2, und dem ersten Visierhebelarm 3 angeordnet ist. Das Dreh-Stellelement 20 ist um eine senkrecht zu der Ebene des Grundes 30 und auch senkrecht zu der ersten Schwenkachse verlaufende Drehachse drehbar in der ersten Visiereinrichtung 1 angeordnet, wobei ein Betätigungselement 11 vorgesehen ist, welches hier mit einem Sechskantfortsatz formschlüssig mit dem Dreh-Stellelement 20 verbunden ist und über das das Dreh-Stellelement 20 um die Rotationsachse verdreht werden kann. Der Sechskantfortsatz ragt dabei durch einen Durchbruch 27 in dem ersten Visierhebelarm 3. Ein hier nicht näher mit einem Bezugszeichen versehener Sprengring sichert das Betätigungselement 11 axial an dem Dreh-Stellelement 20. Das Betätigungselement 11 ist in einer Vertiefung 25 in dem ersten Visierhebelarm angeordnet, die das Betätigungselement 11 sichert, insbesondere vor möglichen Stößen oder einem ungewollten Verdrehen.The core of the first adjusting device 6 is a rotary adjusting element 20, which is disc-shaped in the embodiment shown and formed between the base 2, more precisely the bottom 30 of the base 2, and the first visor lever arm 3 is arranged. The rotary control element 20 is arranged in the first sighting device 1 so as to be rotatable about a rotary axis running perpendicular to the plane of the base 30 and also perpendicular to the first pivot axis, with an actuating element 11 being provided, which here has a hexagonal extension in a form-fitting manner with the rotary control element 20 is connected and via which the rotary actuator 20 can be rotated about the axis of rotation. The hexagonal extension protrudes through an opening 27 in the first sighting lever arm 3. A snap ring, not given a reference number here, secures the actuating element 11 axially on the rotary adjusting element 20. The actuating element 11 is arranged in a recess 25 in the first sighting lever arm, the the actuating element 11 secures, in particular against possible impacts or unwanted twisting.

Das Dreh-Stellelement 20 weist kreisförmig und mit gleichmäßiger Winkelverteilung um die Rotationsachse angeordnet insgesamt sechs Gewindebohrungen 21 auf, die das Dreh-Stellelement 20 durchragen. In die Gewindebohrungen 21 sind Madenschrauben 13 eingeschraubt, die Justierelemente bilden. In den Figuren ist hier jeweils nur eine Madenschraube 13 gezeigt, um die Figuren übersichtlicher zu gestalten. In der Regel sind dabei in allen sechs Gewindebohrungen 21 jeweils Madenschrauben 13 eingeschraubt. Grundsätzlich können aber auch Gewindebohrungen 21 frei bleiben, ohne von der Erfindung abzuweichen. Die Erfindung setzt also nicht eine Bestückung sämtlicher Gewindebohrungen 21 mit Madenschrauben 13 voraus.The rotary control element 20 has a total of six threaded holes 21 arranged in a circle and arranged with a uniform angular distribution around the axis of rotation, which protrude through the rotary control element 20 . In the threaded holes 21 grub screws 13 are screwed, which form adjustment elements. Only one grub screw 13 is shown in each of the figures in order to make the figures clearer. As a rule, grub screws 13 are screwed into all six threaded holes 21 . In principle, however, threaded bores 21 can also remain free without deviating from the invention. The invention therefore does not require that all threaded bores 21 be equipped with grub screws 13 .

Auf dem Grund 30 der Basis 2 ist ein gegenüber der Umgebung erhöhtes Widerlagerelement 18 angeformt, welches an einem oberen Ende stirnseitig eine Vertiefung 29 aufweist. Diese Vertiefung 29 ist komplementär gebildet zu der Form einer Stellspitze 28 der Madenschrauben 13, sodass diese Stellspitzen 28 der Madenschrauben 13 formschlüssig in die Vertiefung 29 eingreifen können. Das Widerlagerelement 18 ist von der Rotationsachse in einem Abstand angeordnet, der dem Abstand der Gewindebohrungen 21 auf dem Dreh-Stellelement 20 von der Rotationsachse entspricht. Demgemäß können die Gewindebohrungen 21 jeweils mit dem Widerlagerelement 18 in eine fluchtende Ausrichtung gebracht werden, sodass die in der ausgerichteten Gewindebohrung 21 angeordnete Madenschraube 13 mit ihrer Stellspitze 28 in der Vertiefung 28 des Widerlagerelements 18 eingreift. In einem dem Abstand der Gewindebohrungen 21 von der Rotationsachse entsprechenden Radius um die Rotationsachse verlaufend ist in den Grund 30 der Basis 2 eine Ringnut 31 eingebracht, die dazu dient, die nicht mit dem Widerlagerelement 18 in Flucht gebrachten und mit ihrer Stellspitze 28 in der Vertiefung 29 abgesetzten Madenschrauben 13, genauer deren Stellspitzen 28 so aufzunehmen, dass diese ohne Kontakt mit dem Grund 30 der Basis 2 sind.On the bottom 30 of the base 2 there is formed an abutment element 18 which is higher than the surroundings and has a depression 29 on the front side at an upper end. This indentation 29 is formed to complement the shape of an adjusting tip 28 of the grub screws 13 so that these adjusting tips 28 of the grub screws 13 can engage in the indentation 29 in a form-fitting manner. The abutment element 18 is arranged at a distance from the axis of rotation which corresponds to the distance between the threaded bores 21 on the rotary control element 20 and the axis of rotation. Accordingly, the threaded holes 21 are each brought into alignment with the abutment element 18 so that the grub screw 13 arranged in the aligned threaded bore 21 engages with its adjusting tip 28 in the recess 28 of the abutment element 18 . Running around the axis of rotation at a radius corresponding to the distance between the threaded bores 21 and the axis of rotation, an annular groove 31 is made in the base 30 of the base 2, which serves to align the not aligned with the abutment element 18 and with its adjusting tip 28 in the recess 29 offset grub screws 13, more precisely record their adjusting tips 28 in such a way that they are not in contact with the base 30 of the base 2.

Zwei Druckfedern 22 sind auf zylinderförmig gebildeten Federsitzen 23 am Grund 30 der Basis 2 festgelegt und drücken gegen einen kurzen Hebelarm des ersten Visierhebelarms 3, der auf der der Stelleinrichtung 7 gegenüberliegenden Seite des Stiftes 8 und damit der ersten Schwenkachse liegt. Diese Druckfedern 22 drücken die Anordnung aus erstem Visierhebelarm 3 und zweitem Visierhebelarm 4 in einer Schwenkrichtung auf die Basis 2 zu in eine Grundstellung.Two compression springs 22 are fixed on cylindrically formed spring seats 23 on the base 30 of the base 2 and press against a short lever arm of the first visor lever arm 3, which lies on the opposite side of the adjusting device 7 of the pin 8 and thus the first pivot axis. These compression springs 22 press the arrangement of the first visor lever arm 3 and the second visor lever arm 4 in a pivoting direction towards the base 2 into a basic position.

Zur Vornahme einer Visierhöheneinstellung über die Voreinstellungen mit den insgesamt sechs in den Gewindebohrungen 21 angeordneten Madenschrauben 13 wird zunächst eine der Madenschrauben 13 mit ihrer Stellspitze 28 in der Vertiefung 29 des Widerlagerelements 18 abgesetzt, indem das Dreh-Stellelement 20 mittels des Betätigungselements 11 um die Rotationsachse so gedreht wird, dass die Madenschrauben 13 in entsprechender Übereinstimmung mit dem Widerlagerelement 18 positioniert ist. In dieser Stellung kann durch eine Ausnehmung 12 in dem Betätigungselement 11 und durch eine durch die Ausnehmung 12 hindurch zugängliche Öffnung 26, die durch den ersten Visierhebelarm 3 reicht, die Madenschrauben 13 mit einem Werkzeug erreicht werden, zum Beispiel einem Innensechskant. Durch Ein- bzw. Ausschrauben der Madenschraube 13 in die Gewindebohrung 21 bzw. aus dieser heraus wird der Abstand des Dreh-Stellelements 20 zu der Basis 2, genauer zu dem Grund 30 der Basis 2, verändert und damit der Schwenkwinkel des ersten Visierhebelarms 3 und so auch des daran befestigten zweiten Visierhebelarms 4. Somit wird eine Höhenverstellung der Kimmeneinrichtung 5 erhalten. Ist die gewünschte Trefferhöhenlage erreicht, was durch entsprechende Probeschüsse verifiziert wird, kann durch Verdrehen des Dreh-Stellelements 20, was durch Rotieren des Betätigungselements 11 erreicht wird, eine weitere Madenschraube 13 in einer anderen Gewindebohrung 21 auf dem Widerlagerelement 18 abgesetzt und mit entsprechender Einstellung der Schraubposition dieser Madenschraube 13 eine andere Visiergrundeinstellung im Hinblick auf die Trefferhöhenlage eingestellt werden, zum Beispiel für eine abweichende Schießentfernung.To carry out a sight height adjustment via the presettings with the total of six grub screws 13 arranged in the threaded bores 21, one of the grub screws 13 is first placed with its adjusting tip 28 in the depression 29 of the abutment element 18 by turning the rotary adjusting element 20 around the axis of rotation by means of the actuating element 11 is rotated so that the grub screw 13 is positioned in corresponding correspondence with the abutment member 18. In this position, the grub screws 13 can be reached with a tool, for example a hexagon socket, through a recess 12 in the actuating element 11 and through an opening 26 which is accessible through the recess 12 and extends through the first sighting lever arm 3 . By screwing or unscrewing the grub screw 13 into the threaded bore 21 or out of this, the distance between the rotary actuator 20 and the base 2, more precisely to the base 30 of the base 2, is changed and thus the pivoting angle of the first visor lever arm 3 and as well as the attached second visor lever arm 4. Thus, a height adjustment the rear sight device 5 obtained. Once the desired hit height has been reached, which is verified by corresponding test shots, by turning the rotary setting element 20, which is achieved by rotating the actuating element 11, another grub screw 13 can be placed in another threaded hole 21 on the abutment element 18 and with the appropriate setting of the Screw position of this grub screw 13 can be set to a different basic sight setting with regard to the height of the hit, for example for a different shooting distance.

So besteht nun die Möglichkeit, insgesamt sechs unterschiedliche Visiergrundeinstellungen vorzunehmen, indem die sechs in den Gewindebohrungen 21 eingeschraubten Madenschrauben 13 jeweils auf dem Widerlagerelement 18 abgesetzt und dann durch entsprechendes Verschrauben in ihrer Höhe justiert werden. Über den von den Druckfedern 22 ausgeübten Gegendruck wird die jeweilige Madenschrauben 13 mit ihrer Stellspitze 28 in die Vertiefung 29 des Widerlagerelements 18 eingedrückt, sodass die Höheneinstellung der Kimmeneinrichtung 5, die durch die Schwenkstellung des ersten Visierhebelarms 3 mit dem daran befestigten zweiten Visierhebelarm 4 erhalten wird, aufrecht erhalten bleibt.It is now possible to make a total of six different basic visor settings by placing the six grub screws 13 screwed into the threaded holes 21 on the abutment element 18 and then adjusting their height by screwing them accordingly. The counter-pressure exerted by the compression springs 22 presses the respective grub screw 13 with its adjusting tip 28 into the depression 29 of the abutment element 18, so that the height adjustment of the rear sight device 5 is obtained by the pivoting position of the first sighting lever arm 3 with the second sighting lever arm 4 attached to it , is maintained.

Nun kann der Nutzer der Visiereinrichtung 1 bzw. der mit dieser versehenen Schusswaffe in unterschiedlichen Schießsituationen, zum Beispiel bei unterschiedlichen Wettbewerbsdisziplinen, die passende Visiergrundeinstellung auswählen, indem er das Betätigungselement 11 so verdreht und damit das Dreh-Stellelement 20 so einstellt, dass die zugehörige Madenschrauben 13 auf dem Widerlagerelement 18 ruht und die entsprechende Visiergrundeinstellung ausgewählt ist. Damit der Anwender die von ihm vorgenommenen Visiergrundeinstellungen in der ersten Stelleinrichtung 6 einfacher identifizieren kann, sind mit Vorteil entsprechende Markierungen auf dem Betätigungselement 11 angeordnet, zum Beispiel im Bereich der Ausnehmungen 12 aufgebrachte Ziffern von 1 bis 6.The user of the sighting device 1 or the firearm equipped with it can now select the appropriate basic sighting setting in different shooting situations, for example in different competitive disciplines, by turning the actuating element 11 and thus setting the rotary adjusting element 20 in such a way that the associated grub screws 13 rests on the abutment element 18 and the corresponding visor basic setting is selected. So that the user can more easily identify the basic sight settings he has made in the first adjusting device 6, appropriate markings are advantageously arranged on the actuating element 11, for example digits from 1 to 6 applied in the area of the recesses 12.

Für ein Verdrehen des Dreh-Stellelements 20 mittels des Betätigungselements 11 muss der Anwender den ersten Visierhebelarm 3 (ggf. zusammen mit dem zweiten Visierhebelarm 4) nur leicht anheben, d. h. von dem Grund 30 der Basis 2 weg schwenken, und kann dann das Betätigungselement 11 drehen und so ausrichten, dass die gewünschte Madenschraube 13 mit ihrer Stellspitze 28 in der Vertiefung 29 des Widerlagerelements 18 ruht. Dabei helfen die umfangseitigen Ausnehmungen 12 an dem Betätigungselement 11, diese Position zu erkennen. Ist die Madenschraube 13 mit dem Widerlagerelement 18 in Flucht gebracht, kann der Anwender den ersten Visierhebelarm 3 wieder absenken, wobei die Druckfedern 22 für einen entsprechenden Gegendruck sorgen, der die Madenschraube 13 mit ihrer Stellspitze 28 in die Vertiefung 29 des Widerlagerelements 18 drückt und dort formschlüssig festgelegt, gleichsam verrastet hält. So wird verhindert, dass sich die ausgewählte Stellung der ersten Stelleinrichtung ungewollt verändern kann.To turn the rotary control element 20 by means of the actuating element 11, the user only has to lift the first sighting lever arm 3 (possibly together with the second sighting lever arm 4) slightly, i.e. from the bottom 30 of the base 2 pivot away, and can then rotate the actuating element 11 and align it so that the desired grub screw 13 rests with its adjusting tip 28 in the recess 29 of the abutment element 18 . The peripheral recesses 12 on the actuating element 11 help to recognize this position. Once the grub screw 13 is aligned with the abutment element 18, the user can lower the first sighting lever arm 3 again, with the compression springs 22 providing a corresponding counter-pressure which presses the grub screw 13 with its adjusting tip 28 into the recess 29 of the abutment element 18 and there positively defined, as it were locked. This prevents the selected position of the first adjusting device from being able to change unintentionally.

Um dem Schützen zusätzlich die Möglichkeit zu geben, zu einer gewählten Grundeinstellung eine Tageseinstellung der Visiereinrichtung 1 mit ihrer Trefferhöhenlage vorzunehmen, ist die zweite Stelleinrichtung 7 vorgesehen. Diese enthält eine Stellschraube 14, die in Richtung ihrer Längsachse unverrückbar an dem zweiten Visierhebelarm 4 festgelegt und mit ihrem Schraubgewinde in einer Gewindebohrung in dem ersten Visierhebelarm 3 eingeschraubt ist. Durch ein weiteres Ein- bzw. ein Ausschrauben der Stellschraube 14 in das Gewinde in dem ersten Visierhebelarm bzw. aus diesem heraus, kann so ein Schwenkwinkel des zweiten Visierhebelarms 4 relativ zu dem ersten Visierhebelarm 3 und damit auch relativ zu der Basis eingestellt werden. Dabei definiert der Stift 19, wie bereits erwähnt, die zweite Schwenkachse, um die durch Verdrehen der Stellschraube 14 der zweite Visierhebelarm relativ zu dem ersten Visierhebelarm 3 verschwenkt wird. So kann also bei einer einmal gewählten Voreinstellung, wie sie mit der ersten Stelleinrichtung 6 eingestellt ist eine weitere Höhenjustage der Kimmeneinrichtung 5 erfolgen und damit eine Trefferlagenkorrektur durchgeführt werden. Um hier für den Anwender eine Skalierung zu geben und ein einfaches Nachvollziehen der Tagesvisiereinstellung zu ermöglichen, ist auf der Stellschraube 14 eine entsprechende Markierung 15 vorgesehen. Hier ist mit einer "0" eine Grundstellung angezeigt, mit Pfeilen sind mit den Zeichen "+" und "-" Stellrichtungen für ein Erhöhen bzw. ein Absenken der Treffpunktlage bezeichnet. Eine zahnartige Rändelung des Randes des Kopfes der Stellschraube 14 und eine Punktmarkierung 32 auf dem zweiten Visierhebelarm 4 erleichtern die Orientierung der Drehpositionen und damit ein Erkennen der Einstellung mittels der zweiten Stelleinrichtung 7. Über wenigstens eine zwischen dem ersten Visierhebelarm 3 und dem zweiten Visierhebelarm 4 angeordnete Druckfeder 33 wird der zweite Visierhebelarm 4 relativ zu dem ersten Visierhebelarm 3 in eine von der Basis 2 weg weisende Schwenkrichtung vorgespannt. Diese Vorspannung hält die Stellschraube 14 in der gewählten Schraubstellung und verhindert ein unbeabsichtigtes Verstellen der zweiten Stelleinrichtung 7.The second adjusting device 7 is provided to give the marksman the additional possibility of making a daily setting of the sighting device 1 with its hit height position in addition to a selected basic setting. This contains an adjusting screw 14 which is immovably fixed to the second sighting lever arm 4 in the direction of its longitudinal axis and is screwed with its screw thread into a threaded hole in the first sighting lever arm 3 . By further screwing or unscrewing the adjusting screw 14 into the thread in the first sighting lever arm or out of it, a pivoting angle of the second sighting lever arm 4 can be set relative to the first sighting lever arm 3 and thus also relative to the base. As already mentioned, the pin 19 defines the second pivot axis about which the second visor lever arm is pivoted relative to the first visor lever arm 3 by turning the adjusting screw 14 . Thus, once a presetting has been selected, as set with the first adjustment device 6, a further height adjustment of the rear sight device 5 can be carried out and thus a hit position correction can be carried out. A corresponding marking 15 is provided on the adjusting screw 14 in order to provide the user with a scaling and to enable a simple understanding of the day sight setting. Here, a "0" indicates a basic position, and arrows with the signs "+" and "-" denote adjustment directions for raising or lowering the point of impact. A tooth-like knurling of the edge of the head of the adjusting screw 14 and a dot marking 32 on the second sighting lever arm 4 facilitates orientation of the rotational positions and thus recognition of the setting by means of the second adjusting device 7. At least one compression spring 33 arranged between the first sighting lever arm 3 and the second sighting lever arm 4 moves the second sighting lever arm 4 relative to the first Visor lever arm 3 is biased in a pivoting direction pointing away from the base 2 . This preload keeps the adjusting screw 14 in the selected screwing position and prevents unintentional adjustment of the second adjusting device 7.

Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Visiereinrichtung 1 ist also die Möglichkeit gegeben, eine Mehrzahl von Voreinstellungen der Trefferhöhenlage einer mit der Visiereinrichtung 1 ausgerüsteten Schusswaffe vorzunehmen und diese fest zu belassen und einfach auszuwählen, zum Beispiel angepasst an bestimmte Wettkampfdisziplinen mit unterschiedlichen Zielentfernungen oder auch angepasst an unterschiedliche verwendete Munition, zum Beispiel mit unterschiedlichen Ladungen. Zugleich kann über die zweite Stelleinrichtung 7 eine Tagesvisiereinstellung vorgenommen werden, um auf Besonderheiten zum Zeitpunkt des Schießens, zum Beispiel am Wettkampftag, reagieren zu können, zum Beispiel besondere Lichtverhältnisse oder dergleichen. Es ist dabei nicht erforderlich, die Visiergrundeinstellung(en) zu verändern.With the sighting device 1 according to the invention, there is therefore the possibility of making a plurality of presettings of the height of impact of a firearm equipped with the sighting device 1 and leaving them fixed and simply selecting them, for example adapted to certain competition disciplines with different target distances or also adapted to different ammunition used , for example with different charges. At the same time, the second setting device 7 can be used to set a daily sight in order to be able to react to special features at the time of shooting, for example on the day of the competition, for example special lighting conditions or the like. It is not necessary to change the basic sight setting(s).

Dabei ist die erfindungsgemäße Visiereinrichtung 1 sehr funktional und kann durch die möglichen zusätzlichen Ausgestaltungen, zum Beispiel die Picatinny-Schiene, weitere Funktionen ausüben. Die erfindungsgemäße Visiereinrichtung 1 zeichnet sich durch eine flache Bauweise und kompakte Konstruktion aus, sodass sie insbesondere auch in Kurzwaffen, auch in solchen von filigraner Bauweise, integriert bzw. an diese angebaut werden kann, ohne hier den Gebrauch dieser Schusswaffen zu beeinträchtigen oder auch das Design zu stören.The sighting device 1 according to the invention is very functional and can perform further functions due to the possible additional configurations, for example the Picatinny rail. The sighting device 1 according to the invention is characterized by a flat design and compact design, so that it can also be integrated into handguns, including those with a filigree design, or attached to them without impairing the use of these firearms or the design disturb.
