Abstract

A weapon rest is provided for rifles and the like, which has a support section, and a body carrying the support section. The body defines a central recess and a plurality of blind holes extending radially outwardly from the central recess and communicating with the central recess. A plurality of legs are engageable in the blind holes, and central lock apparatus in the central recess is adapted to engage the legs to releasably secure them in the body. Each of the legs may have a reduced portion for engagement with the central lock apparatus. The central lock apparatus may include, in different embodiments, various features for engaging the legs.

Description

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist eine Waffenauflage für ein Gewehr oder dgl. nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a weapon support for a rifle or the like. According to the preamble of claim 1.

Eine derartige Waffenauflage ist beispielsweise mit dem Gegenstand der FR-A-2 414 707 bekannt geworden. Dort sind zwar Stützbeine in Sacklöcher des Körpers von unten schräg geneigt eingeführt und sie werden dort auch mit Hilfe einer federbelasteten Kugel lösbar fixiert. Es fehlt jedoch ein für alle Stützbeine gemeinsamer Zenralverschluß. Daher ist es bei dieser bekannten Waffenauflage nicht möglich, alle Stützbeine gemeinsam zu arretieren und zu lösen.Such a weapon rest has become known, for example, with the subject of FR-A-2 414 707. There support legs are inserted into the blind holes of the body at an incline from below and they are also releasably fixed there with the aid of a spring-loaded ball. However, a central lock common to all supporting legs is missing. Therefore, it is not possible with this known weapon support to lock and release all support legs together.

Mit dem Gegenstand der US-A-3 779 497 ist ein weiteres Stativ bekannt geworden, bei dem ein für alle Stützbeine gemeinsam wirkender Zentralverschluß vorhanden ist. Der Zentralverschluß besteht hier jedoch aus einem keilförmigen Körper, der mit Hilfe einer Schraube und einer an der Schraube ansetzenden Flügelmutter in die zentrale Ausnehmung des Halterungskörpers für die Stützbeine einschraubbar ist. Eine solche Anordnung ist nicht nur stark verschmutzungsanfällig, weil der Körper mit seinen Keilflächen an den zugeordneten Längsflächen der Stützbeine satt anliegen muß, sondern darüber hinaus ist die Bedienung noch schwierig und umständlich, denn die Flügelschraube muß mit vielen Umdrehungen so festgedreht werden, daß ein guter Sitz des keilförmigen Körpers in der zentralen Ausnehmung des die Stützbeine aufnehmenden Halterungskörpers erreicht wird.With the subject of US-A-3 779 497 a further tripod has become known, in which a central lock acting for all support legs is present. However, the central lock here consists of a wedge-shaped body which can be screwed into the central recess of the mounting body for the support legs with the aid of a screw and a wing nut attached to the screw. Such an arrangement is not only very susceptible to contamination because the body with its wedge surfaces must fit snugly against the associated longitudinal surfaces of the support legs, but in addition the operation is still difficult and cumbersome because the wing screw must be tightened with many turns so that a good one Seat of the wedge-shaped body in the central recess of the support body receiving the support legs is reached.

Der Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Waffenauflage nach der FR-A-2 414 707 so weiterzubilden, daß eine verschmutzungsunanfällige Halterung der Stützbeine in dem die Stützbeine aufnehmenden Körper gegeben ist, wobei die Möglichkeit bestehen soll, die Neigung der Stützbeine unterschiedlichen Geländegegebenheiten anpassen zu können.The invention is therefore based on the object of developing a weapon support according to FR-A-2 414 707 so that a support for the support legs which is not susceptible to contamination is given in the body receiving the support legs, with the possibility of adapting the inclination of the support legs to different terrain conditions to be able to.

Zur Lösung der gestellten Aufgabe ist die Erfindung dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß im Körper eine zentrale Ausnehmung mit einem Zentralverschluß für die Verriegelung der Stützbeine vorgesehen ist, wobei die Sacklöcher in die Ausnehmung schräg einschneiden, und daß ein oder mehrere der Sacklöcher einen Winkel zur Vertikalen bilden, der von dem entsprechenden Winkel der übrigen Sacklöcher unterschiedlich ist.To achieve the object, the invention is characterized in that a central recess with a central lock for locking the support legs is provided in the body, the blind holes cut obliquely into the recess, and that one or more of the blind holes form an angle to the vertical, which is different from the corresponding angle of the other blind holes.

Mit der Anordnung eines zentralbetätigbaren Zentralverschlusses wird der Vorteil erreicht, daß alle Stützbeine zusammen verund entriegelt werden können. Aufgrund der Tatsache, daß die Sacklöcher in die Ausnehmung des Körpers schräg einschneiden, ergibt sich der Vorteil, daß der Zentralverschluß nur mit seiner Kante an zugeordneten Linienflächen der Stützbeine anliegt. Eine solche Anordnung ist wenig verschmutzungsanfällig, denn der Zentralverschluß entfernt aufgrund seiner Kantenpressung allfällig vorhandene Verschmutzungen, während dies beim Gegenstand der US-A-3 779 497 nicht möglich war.With the arrangement of a centrally operated central lock, the advantage is achieved that all support legs can be locked and unlocked together. Due to the fact that the blind holes cut obliquely into the recess in the body, there is the advantage that the central closure only rests with its edge on associated line surfaces of the support legs. Such an arrangement is not very susceptible to contamination because the central closure removes any contamination due to its edge pressure, whereas this was not possible with the subject of US Pat. No. 3,779,497.

Durch die Anordnung von mehreren Sacklöchern in voneinander unterschiedlichem Winkel ergibt sich der Vorteil, daß entsprechend den Geländegegebenheiten die Stützbeine wahlweise in unterschiedliche geneigte Sacklöcher eingesteckt werden können, so daß eine günstige Anpassung an Geländeunebenheiten gegeben ist. Der Schütze kann nämlich jetzt, je nach den örtlichen Gegegenheiten, wahlweise die Stützbeine der Waffenauflage in dasjenige Sackloch einstecken, welches bezüglich seiner Neigung den jeweiligen örtlichen Gegebenheiten am besten angepasst ist.The arrangement of several blind holes at different angles results in the advantage that, depending on the terrain, the support legs can optionally be inserted into different inclined blind holes, so that there is a favorable adaptation to uneven terrain. The shooter can now, depending on the local conditions, optionally insert the support legs of the weapon rest in the blind hole that is best adapted to the respective local conditions with regard to its inclination.

Der Zentralverschluß kann in verschiedenen Ausführungsformen ausgebildet sein.The central lock can be designed in various embodiments.

Eine erste Ausführungsform sieht vor, daß der Zentralverschluß aus einer mit Gewinde in die zentrale Ausnehmung einschraubbaren Arretierungsschraube besteht, die sich mit einer Kante in einen Bund von vermindertem Durchmesser am Kopf des Stützbeines anlegt. Durch Einschrauben der Arretierungsschraube in das Gewinde der zentralen Ausnehmung wird die Kante an der bodenseitigen Stirnfläche der zentralen Ausnehmung in einen Bund verminderten Durchmessers am Stützbein eingepresst, so daß das Stützbein axial unverschieblich gehalten ist.A first embodiment provides that the central lock consists of a locking screw which can be screwed into the central recess and which has an edge in a collar of reduced diameter at the head of the support leg. By screwing the locking screw into the thread of the central recess, the edge on the bottom end face of the central recess is pressed into a collar of reduced diameter on the support leg, so that the support leg is held axially immovable.

Eine zweite Ausführungsform sieht vor, daß der Zentralverschluß aus einem mit Gewinde in die zentrale Ausnehmung eingeschraubten Abschlußzapfen besteht, der auf seiner inneren Stirnseite mehrere Kugeln trägt, von denen jede in das dem Kopf des Stützbeines zugeordnete Sackloch eingreift, wobei die Kugeln durch einen im Innenumfang anliegenden Spannring radial auswärts gepresst sind.A second embodiment provides that the central closure consists of a threaded end screw screwed into the central recess, which carries on its inner end face a plurality of balls, each of which engages in the blind hole associated with the head of the support leg, the balls through a in the inner circumference adjacent clamping ring are pressed radially outwards.

Dieses Ausführungsbeispiel verwendet keine Arretierungsschraube, sonder radial auswärts durch einen Spannring gepresste Kugeln, die in den Bund verminderten Durchmessers am Kopf des Stützbeines eingepresstwerden. Es wird demnach eine Rastkupplung zwischen dem Kopf des Stützbeines und dem Zentralverschluß vorgesehen, so daß sowohl die Montage als auch die Demontage über den genannten Rastverschluß erfolgt. Es bedarf keiner Betätigung einer Arretierungsschraube mehr.This exemplary embodiment does not use a locking screw, but rather balls pressed radially outward through a clamping ring, which are pressed into the collar of reduced diameter at the head of the support leg. Accordingly, a snap-in coupling is provided between the head of the support leg and the central lock, so that both assembly and disassembly takes place via the snap-in lock mentioned. It is no longer necessary to operate a locking screw.

Die dritte Ausführungsform sieht vor, daß der Zentralverschluß aus einem mit Gewinde in die zentraleAusnehmung eingeschraubten Abschlußring besteht, dessen Mittenbohrung von einem Drehverschluß durchgriffen ist, der sich mit einem Nockenring drebar und in axialer Richtung federbelastet an dem Bund des Kopfes des Stützbeines anlegt.The third embodiment provides that the central lock consists of a threaded end cap screwed into the central recess, the center bore of which is penetrated by a rotary lock which rotates with a cam ring and rests spring-loaded in the axial direction on the collar of the head of the support leg.

Bei dieser Ausführungsform wird ein Nockenring verwendet, der in radialer Richtung vorstehende Nocken aufweist, die sich in den Bund verminderten Durchmessers am Kopf des Stützbeines einpressen. Durch Drehung des Nockenringes gelangen dann Ausnehmungen mit geringerem radialen Abstand zur Drehachse in den Bereich des Bundes am Kopf des Stützbeines, so daß das Stützbein aus dem Sackloch im Körper herausgezogen werden kann.In this embodiment, a cam ring is used which has cams protruding in the radial direction, which press into the collar of reduced diameter at the head of the support leg. By rotating the cam ring, recesses with a smaller radial distance from the axis of rotation then reach the region of the collar at the head of the support leg, so that the support leg can be pulled out of the blind hole in the body.

Besonders vorteilhaft hierbei ist es, wenn der Nockenring federbelastet in axialer Richtung gegen den Bund des Stützbeines gepresst wird, weil das Stützbein dann nicht nur gegen axiale Verschiebung, sondern auch gegen Verdrehung gesichert ist. Der genannte Nockenring kann auch als Exzenter-Drehverschluß bezeichnet werden, weil die radial vorstehenden Nocken, welche in den Bund am Kopf des Stützbeines eingreifen, einen anderen radialen Abstand zur Drehachse des Nockenverschlußes aufweisen, als die in Umfangsrichtung sich an die vorstehenden Nocken anschliessenden Ausnehmungen mit geringerem radialen Abstand zur Drehachse.It is particularly advantageous here if the cam ring is pressed spring-loaded in the axial direction against the collar of the support leg, because the support leg is then secured not only against axial displacement, but also against rotation. Said cam ring can also be referred to as an eccentric rotary lock because the radially projecting cams, which engage in the collar on the head of the support leg, have a different radial distance from the axis of rotation of the cam lock than the recesses adjoining the projecting cam in the circumferential direction smaller radial distance to the axis of rotation.

Beim ersten und dritten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Drehung eines Betätigungselements (Zentralverschluß) notwendig. Um diese Drehung einfach und bedienungssicher zu gestalten, ist ein sogenannter Kugelindex vorgesehen, der aus einer federbelasteten Kugel besteht, die in der Verschlußstellung des Zenralverschlusses in eine zugeordnete Ausnehmung im Körper einrastet. Mit dieser Raststellung wird dem Zentralverschluß eine eindeutige Verschlußstellung und eine eindeutige Offenstellung zugeordnet.In the first and third exemplary embodiments, the rotation of an actuating element (central lock) is necessary. In order to make this rotation simple and safe to use, a so-called ball index is provided, which consists of a spring-loaded ball which engages in an associated recess in the body in the closed position of the central lock. With this detent position, the central lock is assigned a clear lock position and a clear open position.

Die Anordnung der Langlöcher, die radial am Umfang verteilt rund um die zentrale Ausnehmung angeordnet sind, ist beliebig. Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung wird eine Anzahl von fünf Sacklöchern bevorzugt. Es ergeben sich hiermit vielfältige Kombinationsmöglichkeiten, denn es kann eine Waffenauflage mit drei Stützbeinen aufgebaut werden, wobei die drei Stützbeine beliebig auf die fünf Sacklöcher verteilt eingesteckt werden können. Statt eines Dreibeines ist auch der Aufbau eines zweibeines möglich, wodurch sich bei der Anordnung von fünf Sacklöchern noch mehr Kombinationsmöglichkeiten ergeben.The arrangement of the elongated holes, which are arranged radially distributed around the circumference around the central recess, is arbitrary. In the context of the present invention, a number of five blind holes is preferred. This results in a wide range of possible combinations, since a weapon support with three support legs can be set up, the three support legs being able to be inserted as desired over the five blind holes. Instead of a tripod, it is also possible to build a bipod, which means that there are even more possible combinations when arranging five blind holes.

Bei der Anordnung von beispielsweise fünf Sacklöchern werden drei Sacklöcher mitgleichem Winkel der Längsachse zur Horizontalen (bevorzugt 50 Grad) angeordnet, während die Längsachse anderer Sacklöcher einen anderen Winkel Horizontalen einnimmt.In the arrangement of, for example, five blind holes, three blind holes are arranged with the same angle of the longitudinal axis to the horizontal (preferably 50 degrees), while the longitudinal axis of other blind holes takes a different angle to the horizontal.

Eingangswurde erläutert, daß es auf eine günstige Kraftübertragung von der Gewehrauflage auf den Boden ankommt. Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe dient auch die besondere Ausbildung des bodenseitigen Endes des Stützbeines, das nach der Erfindung eine längenverstellbare Stahlspitze aufweist.At the outset, it was explained that a favorable power transmission from the rifle rest to the ground is important. To solve this problem is also the special design of the bottom end of the support leg, which according to the invention has a length-adjustable steel tip.

Es ist zweckmässig, wenn die Stahlspitze von einem Gummifuß abnehmbar umkleidet ist und die bodennächste Auflagefläche des Gummifußes einen Winkel zur Horizontalen bildet.It is expedient if the steel tip is removably clad by a rubber foot and the surface of the rubber foot that is closest to the ground forms an angle to the horizontal.

Mit den genannten Merkmalen ergibt sich der zusätzliche Vorteil, daß sich eine feine, zusätzliche Ausnivellierung des Waffenstativs mit der Waffe und dem Zielfernrohr in die Waagrechte mittels einstellbarer Stahlspitze mit Gummifuß ergibt. Bei Bedarf kann der Gummifuß sofort abgenommen werden, z.B. beim Schießen auf sehr hartem, glitschigem Terrain.With the features mentioned there is the additional advantage that there is a fine, additional leveling of the weapon tripod with the weapon and the telescopic sight into the horizontal by means of an adjustable steel tip with a rubber foot. If necessary, the rubber foot can be removed immediately, e.g. when shooting on very hard, slippery terrain.

Bei dieser Gummifuß-Freistellung von ca. 5 Grad ist eine äußerst griffige, stoßdämpfende Wirkung das Ergebnis, sowie eine hohe Standfestigkeit des Waffenstativs mit der Präzisionswaffe, z.B. auf glatten Oberflächen, wie Kunststoffbelägen, also Bürotischen oder Fensterbänken aus Aluminium mit eloxierter und harter Oberfläche oder Fensterbänken aus Stahl oder kratzfestem Kunststofflack oder Pulverbeschichtung.With this rubber foot release of approx. 5 degrees, the result is an extremely handy, shock-absorbing effect, as well as a high stability of the weapon tripod with the precision weapon, e.g. on smooth surfaces, such as plastic coverings, i.e. office tables or window sills made of aluminum with anodized and hard surface or window sills made of steel or scratch-resistant plastic paint or powder coating.

Die Gummifüße haben weiter den Vorteil, beim Schießen auf Bürotischen keine Beschädigungen zu hinterlassen und beim Manipulieren keine Geräusche zu erzeugen.The rubber feet also have the advantage of not leaving any damage when shooting on office desks and making no noise when manipulating.

Beim Aufsetzen des Gummifußes auf den Boden nimmt die bodennächste Auflagefläche einen geringen Winkel, z.B. von 5 Grad zur Horizontalen, ein. Bei der Schußabgabe verringert sich der Winkel der Längsachse des Stützbeines in Bezug zur Horizontalen, weil die Stützbeine aufgrund der eingeleiteten Rückstoßkraft radial auswärts gespreizt werden, wodurch gleichzeitig diese bondennächste Auflagefläche in ganzflächigem Kontakt zum Boden kommt und hierdurch eine Bremswirkung und eine Stoßdämpfung erzeugt. Ein unzulässig starkes Auseinanderspreizen der Stützbeine wird hierdurch vermieden und die Befestigungen der Köpfe der Stützbeine in den Sacklöchern werdennur wenig auf Verbiegung beansprucht. Der Zentralverschluß kann deshalb besonders leicht und einfach konstruiert werden, weil durch die Vermeidung des unzulässigen Auseinanderspreizens der Stützbeine aufgrund der Anordnung eines Gummifußes mit einer freigestelltn Auflagefläche ein Brems- und Stoßdämpfereffekt bei der Abgabe des Schusses erreicht wird.When the rubber foot is placed on the floor, the surface closest to the floor takes a small angle, e.g. from 5 degrees to the horizontal, a. When the shot is fired, the angle of the longitudinal axis of the support leg with respect to the horizontal decreases because the support legs are spread radially outward due to the recoil force introduced, whereby at the same time this contact surface closest to the bond comes into full-surface contact with the ground and thereby produces a braking effect and shock absorption. This avoids an inadmissible spreading apart of the support legs and the fastenings of the heads of the support legs in the blind holes are subjected to little stress due to bending. The central lock can therefore be constructed particularly lightly and simply because, by avoiding the inadmissible spreading apart of the support legs due to the arrangement of a rubber foot with an exempted contact surface, a brake and shock absorber effect is achieved when the shot is fired.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand von mehrere Ausführungswege darstellenden Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Hierbei gehen aus den Zeichnungen und ihrer Beschreibung weitere erfindungswesentliche Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung hervor.In the following, the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to drawings showing several possible embodiments.

In Figur 1 liegt der Schaft einer Waffe 13 auf einem Abstützbolzen auf, der seinerseits in einem Schwenkteil 14 der Waffenauflage gehalten ist. Der Abstützbolzen, welcher die Waffe 13 trägt, ist axial im Schwenkteil 14 verstellbar, während das Schwenkteil 14 radial im Körper 1 der Waffenauflage verdrehbar ist.In Figure 1, the barrel of a weapon 13 rests on a support bolt, which in turn is held in a pivot part 14 of the weapon rest. The support bolt, which carries the weapon 13, is axially adjustable in the swivel part 14, while the swivel part 14 can be rotated radially in the body 1 of the weapon rest.

An der Unterseite des Körpers 1 ist eine zentrale Ausnehmung 30 angeordnet, in die schräg (beispielsweise im Winkel von 50 Grad zur Horizontalen) Sacklöcker 23, 28 (vergleiche Figur 3b und 4 bis 8) einschneiden. Der bodenseitige Innenumfang der zentralen Ausnehmung 30 weist Durchbrechungen auf, die durch das Einschneiden der Sacklöcher 23 in schräger Richtung in Bezug zur Längsachse der Ausnehmung 30 bedingt sind. Beim Einschieben eines Kopfes 24 eines Stützbeines 7 in das zugeordnete Sackloch 23 gelangt ein Bund 20 verminderten Durchmessers in den Bereich der zentralen Ausnehmung 30.On the underside of the body 1 there is a central recess 30 into which pocket holes 23, 28 (see FIGS. 3b and 4 to 8) cut obliquely (for example at an angle of 50 degrees to the horizontal). The bottom inner circumference of the central recess 30 has openings which are caused by the cutting of the blind holes 23 in an oblique direction with respect to the longitudinal axis of the recess 30. When a head 24 of a support leg 7 is inserted into the associated blind hole 23, a collar 20 of reduced diameter reaches the area of the central recess 30.

Die zentrale Ausnehmung 30 weist ein Innengewinde 22 auf, in das das Außengewinde einer zugeordneten Arretierungsschraube 3 eingreift. Die Arretierungsschraube 3 weist eine stirnseitige Kante 21 auf, die beim Einschrauben der Arretierungsschraube 3 in das Gewinde 22 sich in den Bund 20 des Kopfes 24 des Stützbeines 7 festklemmt.The central recess 30 has an internal thread 22, in which the external thread of an associated locking screw 3 engages. The locking screw 3 has an end edge 21 which, when the locking screw 3 is screwed into the thread 22, clamps into the collar 20 of the head 24 of the support leg 7.

Um zu vermeiden, daß die Arretierungsschraube 3 vollständig herausgeschraubt werden muss, ist eine Kugelrastung 2 vorgesehen, die aus einer federbelasteten Kugel besteht, die mit einer Druckfeder 4 in axialer Richtung vorgespannt ist. Es genügt, wenn die Arretierungsschraube 3 um lediglich eine Umdrehung gelöst wird, damit die Kante 21 außer Eingriff mit dem Bund 20 des Kopfes 24 des Stützbeines 7 gerät und das Stützbein 7 in axialer Richtung aus dem Sackloch 23 herausgezogen werden kann.In order to avoid that the locking screw 3 has to be completely unscrewed, a ball catch 2 is provided which consists of a spring-loaded ball which is biased in the axial direction with a compression spring 4. It is sufficient if the locking screw 3 is loosened by only one turn, so that the edge 21 disengages from the collar 20 of the head 24 of the support leg 7 and the support leg 7 can be pulled out of the blind hole 23 in the axial direction.

In der Schließstellung, wenn sich die Kante 21 der Arretierungsschraube 3 in den Bund 20 des Stützbeines 7 einlegt, rastet dann die Kugel der Kugelrastung 2 ein (vergleiche Figur 1) und die Schließstellung ist damit definiert.In the closed position, when the edge 21 of the locking screw 3 is inserted into the collar 20 of the support leg 7, the ball of the ball catch 2 engages (see FIG. 1) and the closed position is thus defined.

In gleicher Weise sind auch die übrigen Stützbeine 5 und 6 festgelegt.The other supporting legs 5 and 6 are also fixed in the same way.

Durch Lösen der Arretierungsschraube 3 können alle Stützbeine 5, 6, 7 auf einmal herausgezogen und mit einem einzigen Handgriff wieder eingesteckt und festgelegt werden.By loosening the locking screw 3, all support legs 5, 6, 7 can be pulled out at once and reinserted and fixed with a single movement.

Figur 2 zeigt ein zweites Ausführungsbeispiel eines Zentralverschlusses. Der Zentralverschluß besteht hier aus einem in ein Gewinde 25 der zentralen Ausnehmung 30 eingeschraubten Abschlußzapfen 9, der an seinem stirnseitigen Ende Kugeln 8 trägt, von denen jede Kugel einem Sackloch zugeordnet ist. Auf einem Absatz verminderten Durchmessers des Abschlußzapfens 9 ist ein Spannring 10 angeordnet, der die Kugeln 8 radial auswärts presst. Hierdurch werden die Kugeln 8 in den Bund 20 verminderten Durchmessers der Stützbeine 5, 6, 7 eingepresst und die Stützbeine werden dadurch festgelegt. Diese Montageart vermeidet die Handbetätigung eines Zentralverschlusses, weil die Stützbeine 5, 6, 7 einfach nur eingesteckt oder herausgezogen werden müssen und in der Schließstellung stets mit den Kugel 8 verrasten.Figure 2 shows a second embodiment of a central lock. The central lock here consists of a screwed into a thread 25 of the central recess 30, the end pin 9 carries at its front end balls 8, each ball being assigned to a blind hole. On a shoulder of reduced diameter of the end pin 9, a clamping ring 10 is arranged, which presses the balls 8 radially outwards. As a result, the balls 8 are pressed into the collar 20 of reduced diameter of the support legs 5, 6, 7 and the support legs are thereby fixed. This type of installation avoids the manual actuation of a central lock, because the support legs 5, 6, 7 simply have to be plugged in or pulled out and always lock with the ball 8 in the closed position.

Die Figur 3a und 3b zeigen eine dritte Ausführungsform, bei der in das Gewinde 35 der zentralen Ausnehmung 30 ein Abschlußring 15 eingeschraubt ist. Durch die zentrale Bohrung 34 des Abschlußringes 15 greift der zapfenförmige ausgebildete Drehverschluß 11, der werkstoffeinstükkig an seiner bodenseitigen Stirnseite mit einem Nockenring 36 verbunden ist. Der Nockenring 36 ist drehbar und in axialer Richtung federbelastet durch die Druckfeder 12 gegenüber dem Bund 20 des Kopfes 24 der Stützbeine 5, 6, 7. Der Nockenring 36 weist gemäss Figur 3b radial am Umfang verteilte Verschlußnocken 26 auf, die im eingerasteten Zustand (s. Figur 3a) in den Bund 20 verminderten Durchmessers des jeweiligen Stützbeines 5,6, 7 eingreifen.FIGS. 3a and 3b show a third embodiment in which an end ring 15 is screwed into the thread 35 of the central recess 30. Through the central bore 34 of the end ring 15, the peg-shaped rotary lock 11 engages, which is connected in one piece to its material on its bottom end face with a cam ring 36. The cam ring 36 is rotatable and spring-loaded in the axial direction by the compression spring 12 relative to the collar 20 of the head 24 of the support legs 5, 6, 7. According to FIG. 3b, the cam ring 36 has locking cams 26 which are distributed radially around the circumference and which, in the locked state (see FIG 3a) engage in the collar 20 of reduced diameter of the respective support leg 5, 6, 7.

Bei der Verdrehung des Drehverschlusses geraten dann Ausnehmungen 27 mit vermindertem radialen Abstand zur Drehachse des Drehverschlusses in den Bereich des jeweiligen Bundes 20 des Stützbeines, so daß das Stützbein herausgezogen werden kann.When the twist lock is rotated, recesses 27 then come into the region of the respective collar 20 of the support leg with a reduced radial distance from the axis of rotation of the twist lock, so that the support leg can be pulled out.

Zur Festlegung der Offenstellung und der Schließstellung des Drehverschlusses 11 ist wiederum eine Kugelrastung 2 vorgesehen, wobei in Figur 3b eine Offenstellung (Kugelrastung 2) und eine Schließstellung (Kugelrastung 2') gezeigt ist.To fix the open position and the closed position of the rotary lock 11, a ball catch 2 is again provided, an open position (ball catch 2) and a closed position (ball catch 2 ') being shown in FIG. 3b.

Jedem Sackloch 23, 28 ist eine Verschlußnocke 26 und eine in Umfangsrichtung daneben liegende Ausnehmung 27 zugeordnet.Each blind hole 23, 28 is assigned a locking cam 26 and a recess 27 lying in the circumferential direction next to it.

Die Figur 4 bis 8 zeigen verschiedene Einsteckmöglichkeiten von Stützbeinen 5, 7.FIGS. 4 to 8 show different insertion options for support legs 5, 7.

Figur 4 zeigt die Einsteckstellung bei einem Drei-Stützbein, während Figur 5 die Einsteckstellung bei einem Zwei-Stützbein zeigt. Die Figuren 6 bis 8 zeigen verschiedene asymmetrische Einsteckstellungen von Drei-Stützbeinen 5, 6, 7, so daß ersichtlich ist, daß aufgrund der verschiedenen Einsteckmöglichkeiten der Stützbeine die Anpassung der Waffenauflage an die unterschiedlichsten Boden- und Schußverhältnisse möglich ist.Figure 4 shows the insertion position with a three-support leg, while Figure 5 shows the insertion position with a two-support leg. Figures 6 to 8 show different asymmetrical insertion positions of three support legs 5, 6, 7, so that it can be seen that due to the different insertion options of the support legs, it is possible to adapt the weapon support to the most varied ground and shot conditions.

Eine Erweiterung ergibt sich noch dadurch, daß vorgesehen ist, daß die Längsachsen der Sacklöcher 28 (vergleiche Figur 3b) eine andere Neigung zur Horizontalen einnehmen als die Längsachsen der Sacklöcher 23.An extension results from the fact that it is provided that the longitudinal axes of the blind holes 28 (compare FIG. 3b) have a different inclination to the horizontal than the longitudinal axes of the blind holes 23.

Aus den Darstellungen der Figuren 4 bis 8 wird ferner deutlich, daß in Bezug auf die Schußrichtung 28 eine ausgezeichnete Abstützung der Waffenauflage am Boden gewährleistet ist.It is also clear from the illustrations in FIGS. 4 to 8 that excellent support of the weapon rest on the ground is ensured with respect to the direction of firing 28.

Die Figur 9 zeigt die bodenseitige Abstützung eines Stützbeines 7 mit einer Stahlspitze 17 und einem aufgestülpten Gummifuß 18. Die Stahlspitze 17 ist an einem Gewindebolzen 19 angeordnet, der mit seinem Außengewinde in ein zugeordnetes Innengewinde innerhalb der Innenbohrung des Stützbeines 7 eingreift. Hierdurch ist die Stahlspitze 17 in axialer Richtung fein verstellbar.FIG. 9 shows the base-side support of a support leg 7 with a steel tip 17 and an attached rubber foot 18. The steel tip 17 is arranged on a threaded bolt 19 which engages with its external thread in an assigned internal thread within the internal bore of the support leg 7. As a result, the steel tip 17 is finely adjustable in the axial direction.

Um ein Eindringen der Stahlspitze 17 in weiches Terrain zu vermeiden, ist auf die Stahlspitze 17 eine Kegelscheibe 16 aufgrepresst.In order to prevent the steel tip 17 from penetrating soft terrain, a conical disk 16 is pressed onto the steel tip 17.

Der Kegelwinkel der Kegeischeibe 16 beträgt etwa 90 Grad, ebenso wie der Spitzenwinkel des Gummifußes 18. Die Stahlspitze 17 weist einen Bund verminderten Durchmessers auf, der in eine umlaufende Rippe innerhalb des Gummifußes 18 eingreift, so daß sich hiermit eine Rastverbindung ergibt.The cone angle of the conical washer 16 is approximately 90 degrees, as is the tip angle of the rubber foot 18. The steel tip 17 has a collar of reduced diameter which engages in a circumferential rib within the rubber foot 18, so that this results in a snap connection.

Gleichzeitig ist der Stahlspitze 17 ein Sackloch 37 innerhalb des Gummifußes 18 vorgeordnet, so daß sich bei Schußabgabe, wenn eine Kraft in axialer Richtung auf das Stützbein 7 auf den Gummifuß eingeleitet wird, die Spitze 17 in das Sackloch 37 eindrückt und den Gummifuß 18 radial aufweitet. Hierdurch gerät die bodenseitige Auflagefläche 32 in Berührung mit dem Boden und bremst ein radiales Aufspreizen der Stützbeine 5, 6, 7 am Boden ab. In der Ruhestellung befindet sich die.Auflagefläche 32 in einem geringen Winkel 31, z.B. einem Winkel von 5 Grad, über dem Boden.At the same time, the steel tip 17 is preceded by a blind hole 37 within the rubber foot 18, so that when a shot is fired when a force is applied to the support leg 7 in the axial direction on the rubber foot, the tip 17 presses into the blind hole 37 and the rubber foot 18 expands radially . As a result, the base-side support surface 32 comes into contact with the floor and brakes a radial spreading of the support legs 5, 6, 7 on the floor. In the rest position, the bearing surface 32 is at a small angle 31, e.g. an angle of 5 degrees above the ground.

Der Winkel 33 der Längsachse des Stützbeines 5, 6, 7 in Richtung zur Horizontalen beträgt vorzugsweise 50 Grad. Der Gummifuß weist eine Härte von 60 bis 80 Shore auf.The angle 33 of the longitudinal axis of the support leg 5, 6, 7 in the direction of the horizontal is preferably 50 degrees. The rubber foot has a hardness of 60 to 80 Shore.

Bei Bedarf kann der Gummifuß 18 sofort abgezogen werden.If necessary, the rubber foot 18 can be removed immediately.

Es sei noch darauf hingeweisen, daß das Gewinde 25, 35 innerhalb der zentralen Ausnehmung 30 ein 3/4"-Gasrohrgewinde ist, so daß die Ersatzteilbeschaffung sehr einfach ist, weil ein solches Gewinde und die dazugehörenden Zentralverschlüsse einfach zu beschaffen sind. Statt des gegebenen Gewindes kann auch ein Feingewinde 26x1,5 vorgesehen werden.It should also be pointed out that the thread 25, 35 within the central recess 30 is a 3/4 "gas pipe thread, so that the procurement of spare parts is very simple because such a thread and the associated central locks are easy to obtain. Instead of the given A 26x1.5 fine thread can also be provided.
