Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne une arme de chasse perfectionnée du type automatique ou semi- automatique, plus spécialement une arme de chasse à court recul de canon en combinaison avec un système d'emmagasinage d'énergie, par exemple par l'intermédiaire d'un ressort.The invention relates to an improved hunting weapon of the automatic or semi-automatic type, more particularly a hunting weapon with short recoil barrel in combination with an energy storage system, for example by means of a spring. .
Il est connu que le problème de l'automatisme de certaines armes à feu a déjà été étudié de façon pratiquement continue, tant en ce qui concerne l'aspect militaire que le domaine du sport.It is known that the problem of the automatism of certain firearms has already been studied on an almost continuous basis, both in the military aspect and in the field of sport.
Si les principes des différents modes connus de fonctionnement automatique sont relativement simples, leur transposition dans la pratique est infiniment plus délicate. Ceci explique en grande partie l'évolution relativement fort lente des armes automatiques, plus spécialement des armes automatiques militaires.If the principles of the various known modes of automatic operation are relatively simple, their transposition into practice is infinitely more delicate. This largely explains the relatively slow evolution of automatic weapons, especially military automatic weapons.
Le problème est encore plus complexe dans le cas de fusils de chasse car, contrairement aux armes de guerre, ils sont appelés à tirer des munitions de puissance très variable. Ceci constitue une contrainte supplémentaire, l'idéal étant, en effet, que l'arme fonctionne de manière irréprochable pour chacune des munitions envisagées et, par conséquent, pour chaque discipline de tir.The problem is even more complex in the case of hunting rifles because, unlike weapons of war, they are called to fire ammunition of very variable power. This constitutes an additional constraint, the ideal being, in fact, that the weapon functions in an irreproachable manner for each of the munitions envisaged and, consequently, for each shooting discipline.
De ce qui précède, résulte qu'il est donc difficile de construire une arme qui tirerait toute la gamme de cartouches dans une configuration unique.From the above, it follows that it is therefore difficult to build a weapon which would fire the whole range of cartridges in a single configuration.
Il s'est néanmoins avéré que le système à court recul de canon constitue le système le plus adéquat et le plus souple, vu qu'il donne des variations de vitesse faibles de pièces mobiles lorsqu'on tire des cartouches de puissance différente.However, it has been found that the short recoil system is the most suitable and flexible system, since it gives small variations in speed of moving parts when cartridges of different power are fired.
On est ainsi parvenu, selon l'invention, à réaliser une arme de chasse perfectionnée dans laquelle le système à court recul de canon est combiné avec un système d'emmagasinage de l'énergie disponible momentanément par l'intermédiaire d'un ressort adéquat prenant son énergie dans le recul du canon.We have thus managed, according to the invention, to produce an improved hunting weapon in which the short recoil barrel system is combined with a system for storing the energy temporarily available via an adequate spring taking its energy in the retreat of the barrel.
Pour mieux faire ressortir les caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention, le principe de celle-ci est décrit ci-après avec référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels:To better highlight the characteristics and advantages of the invention, the principle thereof is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
les figures 1, 3, 4, 5 et 7 représentent schématiquement le principe de fonctionnement de l'invention;Figures 1, 3, 4, 5 and 7 schematically represent the operating principle of the invention;
les figures 2 et 6 représentent, respectivement des coupes selon les lignes II-II de la figure 1 et VI-VI de la figure 5.FIGS. 2 and 6 respectively represent sections along lines II-II of FIG. 1 and VI-VI of FIG. 5.
La présente invention consiste donc à combiner deux principes d'automatisme, notamment le principe à court recul du canon et le principe d'emmagasinage de l'énérgie d'un ressort prenant son énergie dans le recul du canon.The present invention therefore consists in combining two principles of automatism, in particular the principle with short recoil of the barrel and the principle of storage of the energy of a spring taking its energy in the recoil of the barrel.
L'arme selon l'invention comporte, entre autres, un canon flottant 1, une carcasse 2, un verrou 3, une culasse mobile 4, un axe de verrouillage 5 prévu dans la culasse 4 et traversant le verrou 3 lequel présenté une rainure 6 formant rampe de verrouillage, respectivement de déverrouillage, du verrou, et, entre ledit verrou 3 et l'axe 5, un ressort 7.The weapon according to the invention comprises, inter alia, a floating barrel 1, a
Le fonctionnement de l'arme susdécrite est illustré dans les dessins.The operation of the above-described weapon is illustrated in the drawings.
Au repos, l'arme de chasse selon l'invention se présente comme illustré à la figure 1. L'arme est verrouillée et prête pour tirer. La culasse mobile 4 se trouve à une distance A du canon 1.At rest, the hunting weapon according to the invention is presented as illustrated in FIG. 1. The weapon is locked and ready to fire. The
Lorsque le coup est tiré, le canon 1 recule et entraîne avec lui le verrou 3 lequel est, à ce moment, solidaire du canon étant donné qu'il est verrouillé.When the shot is fired, the barrel 1 moves back and carries with it the
Par ledit recul du canon 1, le ressort intermédiaire entre le verrou 3 et l'axe de verrouillage 5, est comprimé, d'où emmagasinage d'une certaine quantité d'énergie dans ce ressort 7.By said recoil from the barrel 1, the intermediate spring between the
Pendant cet emmagasinage d'énergie dans le ressort 7, la culasse 4 reste pratiquement immobile.During this storage of energy in the
Lorsque le canon 1 a parcouru la distance A il vient en contact avec la culasse 4, tel que représenté à la figure 3, et entraîne dans son mouvement de recul, tel que representé à la figure 4, ladite culasse 4 en lui conférant une certaine accélération.When the barrel 1 has traveled the distance A, it comes into contact with the
A partir de cet instant, le canon 1 est freiné par un système amortisseur adéquat, non représenté dans les dessins, et l'énergie emmagasinée par le ressort intermédiaire 7 est restituée à la culasse 4 lors de la détente du ressort 7, ce qui confère à la culasse 4 un regain d'accélération provoquant la désolidarisation du canon flottant 1 et de la culasse 4.From this moment, the barrel 1 is braked by an adequate damping system, not shown in the drawings, and the energy stored by the
En effet, lorsque le jeu entre le canon 1 et la culasse 4 est supérieur à la distance initiale A, l'axe de verrouillage 5 se trouve dans la rampe de déverrouillage 6 du verrou 3, provoquant ainsi la rotation de ce verrou 3 par rapport à la culasse 4, respectivement, par rapport au canon et, par ce fait, le verrou 3 sera libéré du canon lorsque ses tenons 8, connus en soi, sont en face de dégagements correspondants 9, également connus en soi, réalisés dans le canon 1.In fact, when the clearance between the barrel 1 and the
A partir de ce moment, il y a déverrouillage complet et extraction de la douille D.From this moment, there is complete unlocking and extraction of the socket D.
Quant au canon 1, il est renvoyé vers l'avant de la manière habituelle où il retrouve sa position initiale.As for the barrel 1, it is returned towards the front in the usual manner where it returns to its initial position.
Le ressort 7 joue également un rôle très important en ce qui concerne le retard en ouverture. En effet, la compression et la détente du ressort 7 s'effectuent pendant un laps de temps suffisant pour permettre une diminution substantielle de la pression de la chambre et la diminution des sollicitations y afférentes sur les pièces mobiles lors de l'ouverture de l'arme.The
Il est clair, de ce qui précède, que la combinaison d'un système à court recul du canon 1 avec un système qui emmagasinera l'énergie disponible momentanément par l'intermédiaire d'un ressort 7 prenant son énergie dans le recul du canon, présente des avantages considérables.It is clear from the above, that the combination of a short recoil system of the barrel 1 with a system which will store the energy available momentarily via a
Il va de soi qu'une telle combinaison peut être réalisée sous diverses formes et que l'expression "arme de chasse" utilisée dans la présente doit s'étendre au sens le plus large, c'est-à-dire qu'elle couvre aussi bien les armes de chasse proprement dites que toutes autres armes à feu de sport.It goes without saying that such a combination can be produced in various forms and that the expression "hunting weapon" used herein must extend in the broadest sense, that is to say that it covers both hunting weapons proper and all other sporting firearms.
