Abstract

Ein Gewehr hat einen Vorderschaft, an dem ein aus einem Trägerteil (10) und einklappbaren Beinen (6) bestehendes Zweibein angebracht ist, wobei die Verbindung von Trägerteil (10) und Beinen (6) mittels an ihrem äußeren Ende (19) verdickter Zapfen (17) mit abgeschnittem Sektor und Vertiefungen (16) mit unterbrochener Umfangslippe (20) erfolgt. Um ein leichtes billiges und schönes Zweibein zu schaffen, ist der Trägerteil (10) um eine in Schußrichtung liegende Achse (11) drehbar am Vorderschaft (2) gelagert, sind die Zapfen (17) Teil des Beines (6) und die zugehörigen Vertiefungen (16) im Trägerteil (10) vorgesehen, und weisen Trägerteil (10) und Bein (6), eine kreisförmige Nut (23) und einen in die Nut (23) passenden, in der Richtung der Symmetrieachse (18) des Zapfens (17) vorstehenden kreisförmigen Wulst (22) auf, wobei die Achse von Nut und Wulst gleich der Symmetrieachse (18) des Zapfens (17) ist und deren Durchmesser größer als der größte Durchmesser des Zapfens (17).

Figure 00000001
A rifle has a forearm on which a bipod consisting of a carrier part (10) and foldable legs (6) is attached, the connection between the carrier part (10) and legs (6) being made by means of pins thickened at their outer end (19) ( 17) with cut off sector and depressions (16) with interrupted peripheral lip (20). In order to create a light, cheap and beautiful bipod, the support part (10) is rotatably mounted on the forearm (2) about an axis (11) lying in the weft direction, the pins (17) are part of the leg (6) and the associated depressions ( 16) are provided in the support part (10), and have support part (10) and leg (6), a circular groove (23) and a groove (23) that fits in the direction of the axis of symmetry (18) of the pin (17) projecting circular bead (22), the axis of the groove and bead being equal to the axis of symmetry (18) of the pin (17) and the diameter of which is larger than the largest diameter of the pin (17).
