Definitions
- the invention relates to a swivel mount for a firearm such as. a machine gun or the like, for attachment on a tower hatch of an armored vehicle, for example is set up with a swivel arm that is outside the Tower hatch around a fixed, vertical axis and on the Firearm or a bracket attached to it one swiveling with this movable, vertical axis is appropriate.
- Such swivel mountings are located approximately to the side of the tower hatch e.g. attached to a tank and carry in use a machine gun. The shooter dives behind the gun carriage out of the hatch and operated the weapon, taking one should cover the largest possible angular range. On Operate the weapon from the cover using a linkage is not possible because of somewhere in this angular range emerging target very quickly and reliably must be recorded in order to be combated as soon and effectively as possible to become. This is the view from the cover too limited and the operation of the weapon via a linkage too lazy.
- a basic example is from document GB-A-2077402 refer to.
- Hatches of the type mentioned are so for several reasons as small as possible so that the shooter does not move backwards can dodge to swing the weapon past him can if it is from one end of the swept angular range wants to swing to the other end. About this pivoting he must either dive into the hatch, or lean further out to lean on your upper body to be able to bend back. A quick grasp of one Target that is at the other end of the angular range, is not possible under any circumstances.
- the invention is the Based on the task, the well-known gun carriage mentioned in a simple, robust and inexpensive way to further educate them that the targeted brushing of the entire, preferably a still enlarged, angular range as well as rapid changes in angle without but the position of the shooter, from his rotation apart from needing to be changed.
- the swivel arm at least and preferably two parts is formed, and that the parts are connected to each other by joints.
- a telescopic connection between the Considered parts to be equivalent to the articulation, because the same effect occurs, namely the possible one Shortening the distance between the fixed, vertical Axis and the movable one assigned to the firearm vertical axis.
- the shooter is able to swing the weapon back and forth, while holding it with both hands in the usual way. Due to the possibility of shortening the above The shooter is not the pivoting distance the weapon in the way, like that of the previous known one Swivel arm mount was the case.
- There is a joint arrangement given preference over the telescope arrangement because the weight of a sufficiently rigid joint arrangement is less and less soiling Has disturbances than in a telescopic arrangement would be the case.
- a particular advantage of the principle of the invention variable in length swivel arm is that the shooter shoots the gun well in every swivel angle Can move stop. It won't just be the possible one Swivel angle ensured, but at every point of the Swivel angle range, it is possible to optimally over the Sight the weapon without the shooter closing his position needs to leave. He only needs to stand up rotate. The previously required bending back or dodging in the middle of the swivel angle range, which in narrow hatches was extremely difficult not necessary. It therefore results from the Invention a possible swivel angle range of up to 180 °.
- the swivel arm parts can be in several parts, so that the Swivel arm, for example, due to a light but rigid Arrangement of scissor-like links formed can be, whose joints each have a horizontal axis exhibit.
- the weapon such as the machine gun, is opposite the Mount in turn around a small angular range, for example 40 °, swiveling. That is why it is particularly advantageous (Claim 3) that the joint (s) at least in selected angular positions can be determined.
- the weapon can be effortlessly placed in any area of your Swivel the field of fire, after which the joint (s) be determined so that the multi-part, according to the invention Swivel arm like a one-tier swivel arm behaves, but for every angular position the precisely adjusted one Has length. So the shooter can also at Support shooting with the weapon against the swivel arm, without giving in.
- a locking lever assigned to the or each joint is.
- the locking lever is in by a spring or the like a determining rest position durable and by means of a handle attached to it temporarily in a release position movable.
- the or each joint can be a number of locking positions in which the locking lever incident. If the locking lever is released, so the joint may still move to the next one Locking position and is locked there.
- the handle for locking the joint is preferred (Claim 5) arranged near the firearm, so that it is easily and quickly accessible.
- One is advantageous Position to the left of the weapon, because then the weapon must be Hand holding the handle and not operating the weapon loosen her grip.
- the locking lever as a pivot lever formed with one end at the part of the Swivel arm is pivotally attached to the fixed Axis is mounted, extends beyond the joint and carries the handle at its other end.
- the handle is not in everyone Angle range to the left of the weapon. But the swivel lever can be designed so that the weapon is easily reached can be, so that mostly the operation with the left hand is guaranteed.
- the mount is that of the firearm is assigned, arranged approximately under the center of gravity of the weapon.
- the assigned to the firearm Bracket is located near the rear end.
- the weight of the weapon can be compensated by a suspension become.
- the special arises for the shooter Advantage that he largely his when aiming the weapon Can maintain position. So it is possible about one Combat the target without the shooter going deeper into it Vehicle must climb down, or a target close in front or fight under the vehicle without the Sagittarius must endanger that he is far from the Luke bends out, as is usually the case with normal installation the bracket would be necessary.
- the swivel mount with shortenable Swivel arm therefore ensures that the largely in in their position remaining shooters not just an enlarged one horizontal shot field, but also an enlarged one vertical shot field is provided.
- Swivel mount with swivel arm also shows this as well as other types of carriage another disadvantage on: since the gun carried by the gun over one Hatch opening must be in front of the hatch one essentially vertical support be attached. On the top a swivel is attached to the carrier.
- the carrier is stationary, for example, on a carriage with a swivel arm mounted on the vehicle deck.
- the carrier can also be movable. It can even multiple beams or at least beam bases be provided.
- the carrier can be extended as a vertical, telescopic Rod may be formed, such as a piston rod, and can from the inside of the vehicle by hand or by power drive be raised and lowered.
- the lowering device is a tilting device is by means of which the pivot bearing around one below it pivot point until it rests on the vehicle deck or swiveled down in a recess formed in it is.
- the result is a protected one Housing the weapon.
- the pivot point is below the viewing windows and preferably as close as possible to the Car deck.
- the tilting device for lowering and raising the Mount an operating lever, an electric drive device or a hydraulic drive device having.
- the operating lever should be with its handle as close as possible to the edge of the hatch to avoid turning to allow the gun carriage if the shooter already is almost fully submerged through the hatch.
- a power-driven drive device is lowering the The carriage can be released from inside the vehicle.
- the tilting device can have a detent, which it in holds upright. But then there is a risk that the rest e.g. gives way in a violent collision. Therefore, it is preferred according to the invention 11) that the tilting device is a device for fixing has their erected position.
- a special one simple setup would be a locking bolt, but this would be difficult to access. Even electrical or hydraulic locks are conceivable are remotely controllable.
- a manually operated one is particularly simple and reliable Fixation, which can be operated close to the hatch edge should be. Therefore, it is particularly preferred (Claim 12) that the device for fixing the erect Location has two articulated levers with the one end with each other and with the other ends with the two mutually tiltable parts of the tilting device are connected and form a toggle mechanism that is kinked in the erected position. Such a Toggle mechanism is able to absorb high forces, can still be inserted with little force and be solved.
- Preferred is the operating lever electric drive device or the hydraulic device for kinking and releasing the toggle lever mechanism set up. This eliminates a separate one Actuation step for locking and unlocking the tilting device, and using the carriage becomes even easier and faster.
- a cover is preferred or tarpaulin provided to the lowered carriage with the to protect the weapon attached to it from external influences.
- the outside influences do not only need weather influences but the cover can also be lockable or be lockable from the inside of the vehicle so that the lowered one Gun stored directly on the vehicle deck can be. It is then not necessary as before, the weapon before use from inside the vehicle to bring the hatch outside and to mount it there.
- FIG. 1 is a top view of the deck of the tower 1 Battle tank shown.
- This tower 1 has two adjacent, hatches that can be closed by a cover 3 of which only the right one is shown.
- Below the Hatch 3 are viewing windows 33 through which the Outside view is possible when hatch 3 is closed is.
- a shooter 23 is shown schematically; as can be seen, hatch 3 is so narrow that the Sagittarius has very little freedom of movement.
- a carrier 5 On the right in front of the hatch 3, a carrier 5 is arranged, which in its operating position is vertical, but as in FIG. 2 shown in more detail, can be tilted into a horizontal position can.
- a pivot bearing 7 attached in which a swivel arm 11 with its front End is rotatably mounted.
- This swivel arm 11 supports a swivel and weight compensation device at its rear end 25, on which a machine gun 9 is pivotally mounted near its rear end.
- the swivel and weight compensation device 25 has a strong spring that ensures that the Machine gun 9 with filled belt box (dashed line indicated) is in an almost horizontal position. This Device can be blocked so that the machine gun 9 is in a fixed horizontal position, approximately while driving or lowering the carriage.
- the Swivel and weight compensation device 25 can for Machine gun 9 a full horizontal and a limited vertical swivel motion too, if necessary also enables the fight against flight destinations.
- the swivel arm 11 consists of a front part 13 and a rear part 15 by a hinge 17 with vertical Axis are interconnected.
- the joint is by a spring-loaded locking device in several Lockable angular positions.
- a release lever 19 with a Handle 21 at its end serves the locking device to release when actuated. If he is released so the joint 17 can still up to the next detectable angular position move and is then blocked.
- the extreme horizontal angular position of the machine gun 9, which the swivel arm 11 permits, demonstrates on the one hand right and left to the front. It is Machine gun 9 then still around an angular range A can be pivoted by about 40 °, so that overall results in a brushable angular range of approximately 180 °. Another pivoting of the machine gun 9 is then still possible, but the shooter 23 is not more able to use the sight of the machine gun 9 to look at.
- the machine gun 9 is in shown in both angular end positions. Here is the swivel arm 11 fully stretched, i.e. both swivel arm parts 13 and 15 cursed with each other.
- the carrier 5 sits on a Tilting device 35 and has a locking lever 47, with the help of the pivot bearing 7 in several angular positions is noticeable, at least in an angular position, in which the muzzle of the machine gun 9 after on the left.
- the pivot bearing 7 is fixed in this way, and is the swivel arm 11 in a position in which the two swivel arm parts 13, 15 exactly lie one above the other (this position can be determined in joint 17)
- the tilting device 35 has a horizontal transverse axis as a pivot axis on (not shown), and a locking mechanism, which is made up of two toggle levers, of which are in the upright position of the tilting device 35 one is 43 above and the other 45 below.
- a locking mechanism which is made up of two toggle levers, of which are in the upright position of the tilting device 35 one is 43 above and the other 45 below.
- a lowering device of the type shown is not only usable for a swivel arm mount, but also for other gun carriages.
