Description

Die Erfindung befaßt sich mit einer Schulterstützeneinrichtung für eine Handfeuerwaffe, insbesondere für ein Selbstladegewehr oder eine Maschinenpistole, mit einer Schulterstütze zur Anlage der im Anschlag befindlichen Handfeuerwaffe und einer Bodenplatte, welche am hinteren Ende der Schulterstütze zum Schutz derselben angeordnet ist.The invention is concerned with a shoulder rest device for a handgun, especially for a Self-loading rifle or a submachine gun, with a Shoulder rest for positioning the one in the stop Handgun and a base plate, which on the rear End of the shoulder rest to protect it is arranged.

Die in der vorliegenden Anmeldung verwendeten Lagebegriffe, wie "vorne", "hinten", "oben", "unten" oder dergleichen gehen stets von einer im normalen Anschlag befindlichen Waffe aus; also einer Waffenlage, bei welcher die Mittelachse des Waffenlaufes horizontal verläuft und die Schußrichtung nach "vorne" weist.The terms used in the present application, like "front", "back", "top", "bottom" or the like always go from a normal stop Weapon off; so a weapon situation, in which the The central axis of the gun barrel runs horizontally and the Shot direction "forward" points.

Aus Gewichtsgründen stellt man in jüngerer Zeit Waffengehäuse samt Vorder- und Hinterschaft aus leichtem Kunststoffmaterial her. Eine derartige, in manchen Fällen auch dünnwandige Ausbildung des Gehäuses und/oder des Schaftes kann leicht deformiert werden oder gar einreißen, beispielsweise dann, wenn die Waffe aus einiger Höhe, etwa von der Ladefläche eines Lastwagens, auf den Boden fällt und dabei mit dem Hinterschaft aufkommt. Um hier Abhilfe zu schaffen, ist es bekannt, am hinteren Ende des Waffengehäuses (bei Gewehren in Bullpup-Bauweise) oder an der hinteren Stirnseite des Hinterschaftes (bei herkömmlichen Gewehren) eine sogenannte Boden- bzw. Schulterplatte zu montieren. Die Rückseite des Waffengehäuses oder des Hinterschaftes, welche eine der Hauptbeanspruchungszonen darstellt, ist somit nach hinten von der Bodenplatte abgedeckt. Die Bodenplatte soll dabei alle unerwünschten, von hinten auf die Waffe einwirkenden Belastungen, vor allem Querbelastungen, aufnehmen. Üblicherweise ist die Bodenplatte durch mehrere in Waffenlängsrichtung verlaufende Schrauben von hinten am Waffengehäuse (bei Gewehren in Bullpup-Bauweise) oder am Hinterschaft (bei herkömmlichen Gewehren) montiert.For weight reasons, gun casings have recently been made including fore and butt stock made of light plastic material ago. Such, in some cases too thin-walled design of the housing and / or the shaft can easily be deformed or even tear, for example then when the gun from some height, about from the back of a truck falling to the floor and comes up with the buttstock. To remedy this to create it is known at the rear end of the gun case (for bullpup-style rifles) or on the rear end of the butt stock (with conventional Rifles) a so-called base or shoulder plate assemble. The back of the gun case or butt stock, which is one of the main stress zones represents, is thus covered to the rear by the base plate. The bottom plate should all unwanted, loads acting on the weapon from behind all transverse loads. Usually that is Base plate by several extending in the longitudinal direction of the weapon Screws on the rear of the weapon housing (for rifles Bullpup construction) or on the buttstock (with conventional Rifles).

Diese Schutzmaßnahme hat sich aber als nicht immer ausreichend erwiesen: bei starker Beanspruchung, z.B. bei einem Fall aus großer Höhe, führt die Kraftübertragung über die wenigen Schraubverbindungen der Bodenplatte dennoch zu einer Beschädigung des Waffengehäuses bzw. des Hinterschaftes. Ferner besteht die Gefahr, daß die Schraubverbindungen etwa bei Querbelastung aus der Fassung in der Bodenplatte ausreißen.However, this protective measure has not always been sufficient proven: with heavy use, e.g. at a fall from a great height, the power transmission leads about the few screw connections on the base plate to damage the weapon housing or the Behind the shaft. There is also a risk that the Bolted connections, for example, in the case of transverse loads from the socket tear out in the bottom plate.

Aus der US 4 316 342 ist eine rückstossdämpfende Schulterstützeneinrichtung für ein Gewehr bekannt, deren Bodenplatte über eine zwischen der Bodenplatte und einer Schulterstütze ausgebildeten Nut-Feder-Verbindung mit der Schulterstütze verbunden ist. Diese ist vor allem für automatische Waffen mit schnellen Schießwiederholungen gedacht, bei welchen der Rückstoß so stark ist, daß eine angemessene Verwendung der Waffe nicht mehr möglich ist. Hierfür ist die Schulterstützeneinrichtung in zwei Teile aufgeteilt, nämlich einem fest mit dem hinteren Ende der Handfeuerwaffe verbundenen Abschnitt und einem hierzu entlang der Schulterstützenhöhe beweglichen Abschnitt, der z.B. auf einer Schiene geführt ist und über eine Rückhaltfeder in einer Ruheposition gehalten und ggf. nach Auslenkung durch einen Rückstoß zurückgeführt wird.From US 4 316 342 is a recoil damping shoulder support device known for a rifle whose bottom plate over one between the bottom plate and one Shoulder rest trained tongue and groove connection with the Shoulder rest is connected. This is mostly for automatic Guns with quick replay thought where the recoil is so strong that a proper use of the weapon is no longer possible. For this, the shoulder rest device is in two parts divided, namely one firmly with the rear end of the Handgun connected section and a related section movable along the shoulder rest height, e.g. is guided on a rail and over a Retention spring held in a rest position and, if necessary, after deflection by a recoil.

Schulterstützeneinrichtungen der einleitend genannten Art mit einteiliger Bodenplatte sind z.B. aus der DE-GM 1 942 427, US 5 235 765 und FR-PS 1 092 840 bekannt.Shoulder rest devices of the type mentioned in the introduction with one-piece base plate are e.g. from DE-GM 1 942 427, US 5 235 765 and FR-PS 1 092 840.

Ferner zeigt die DE 297 09 576 U eine Bodenplatte mit einem Abschlußstück, welches eine Umfangslippe aufweist, die in eine entsprechende Umfangsnut am Gewehrschaft einschnappt. Das Abschlußstück ist demnach aus einem flexiblen Material gefertigt, welches verformbar sein muß, um in die Umfangsnut einschnappen zu können.Furthermore, DE 297 09 576 U shows a base plate with a End piece, which has a peripheral lip, which snaps into a corresponding circumferential groove on the rifle stock. The end piece is therefore made of a flexible Made of material that must be deformable to to be able to snap into the circumferential groove.

Die Erfindung zielt darauf ab, eine Schulterstützeneinrichtung für eine Handfeuerwaffe zu schaffen, welche verschiedenen Anforderungen gerecht wird und dennoch einer Kraftbeanspruchung zufriedenstellend widersteht. The invention aims to provide a shoulder rest device for a handgun to create what different Meets requirements and still one Resistant to force.

Die Erfindung erreicht dieses Ziel durch den Gegenstand von Anspruch 1. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen beschrieben.The invention achieves this goal through the subject of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are described in the dependent claims.

Danach schafft die Erfindung eine Schulterstützeneinrichtung für eine Handfeuerwaffe, insbesondere für ein Selbstladegewehr oder eine Maschinenpistole, mit: einer Schulterstütze zur Anlage der im Anschlag befindlichen Handfeuerwaffe; einer Bodenplatte zum Schutz der Schulterstütze, welche über eine zwischen der Bodenplatte und der Schulterstütze ausgebildete Nut-Feder-Verbindung mit der Schulterstütze verbunden ist, wobei die Bodenplatte aus mindestens einem Abschlußstück, welches über wenigstens einen Abschnitt der Schulterstützenhöhe verläuft und einen Befestigungsabschnitt aufweist, der mit der Schulterstützenwandung eine Nut-Feder-Verbindung bildet, und mindestens einer Abdeckungskappe aufgebaut ist, welche auf das Abschlußstück aufgesetzt ist, wobei das Abschlußstück aus Metall oder einem verstärkten Kunststoff und die Abdeckungskappe aus einem vergleichsweise weicheren Material gefertigt ist.The invention then provides a shoulder rest device for a handgun, especially for a Self-loading rifle or a submachine gun, with: one Shoulder rest for positioning the one in the stop Handgun; a base plate to protect the shoulder rest, which has a between the base plate and tongue and groove connection with the shoulder rest the shoulder rest is connected, the bottom plate from at least one end piece, which over at least a section of the shoulder rest height runs and has a mounting portion which with the The shoulder rest wall forms a tongue and groove connection, and at least one cover cap is constructed, which is placed on the end piece, the end piece made of metal or a reinforced plastic and the cover cap from a comparatively softer Material is made.

Auf diese Weise ist erfindungsgemäße Bodenplatte einfach aufgebaut und damit preisgünstig; sie bildet gleichwohl aber einen besonders widerstandsfähigen Schutz der Schulterstütze. Etwaige Biege- und Querkräfte, die beim Fallversuch auf die Bodenplatte einwirken, werden über die gesamte Länge der Nut-Feder-Verbindung "schonend" in die Schulterstütze eingeleitet. Dies führt besonders bei einer dünnwandigen Waffenbauweise zu einer deutlich verringerten Beschädigungsgefahr beim Abstützen oder beim Herabfallen der Waffe auf den Boden. Gleichzeitig versteift die zur sanften Krafteinleitung vorgesehene Nut-Feder-Verbindung der Bodenplatte das hintere Stirnende der Schulterstütze und bildet zusätzlich noch eine schienenartige Führung, über welche die Bodenplatte bequem auf die Schulterstütze aufschiebbar und wieder abnehmbar ist, wie nachfolgend noch näher erläutert wird. In this way, the base plate according to the invention is simple built and therefore inexpensive; nevertheless it forms but a particularly robust protection of the shoulder rest. Any bending and shear forces that occur during the drop test act on the base plate, are over the entire length of the tongue and groove connection "gently" into the Shoulder rest initiated. This leads especially to one thin-walled weapon construction to a significantly reduced Risk of damage when supporting or falling the gun to the ground. Stiffened at the same time the tongue and groove connection intended for the gentle application of force the base plate the rear end of the Shoulder support and also forms a rail-like Guide, through which the base plate comfortably on the shoulder rest can be pushed on and removed again, as will be explained in more detail below.

Im Normalfall werden mit der erfindungsgemäßen Bodenplattenbefestigung beim Einleiten von Querkräften auf die Schulterstütze kritische Belastungen nicht erreicht. Sollte bei überdurchschnittlicher Belastung dennoch eine Beschädigung der Bodenplatte auftreten, so muß lediglich diese ausgetauscht werden, nicht aber die Schulterstütze selbst, also z.B. nicht das ganze Waffengehäuse bei einer Waffe in der sogenannten Bullpup-Bauweise.Normally, with the base plate fastening according to the invention when introducing transverse forces on the Shoulder rest critical loads not reached. Should be an above average load Damage to the base plate must occur these are replaced, but not the shoulder rest itself, e.g. not the whole gun case on one Gun in the so-called bullpup design.

Vorsorglich sei darauf hingewiesen, daß die hier verwendeten Begriffe "Schulterstützeneinrichtung" bzw. "Schulterstütze" nicht eng auf den Hinterschaft einer Waffe in konventioneller Bauweise bezogen sind, sondern sich allgemein auf denjenigen Abschnitt einer Handfeuerwaffe beziehen, der sich im normalen Anschlag an der Schulter des Schützen abstützt. Zum Beispiel bezieht sich die Schulterstütze im Falle einer Waffe in Bullpup-Bauweise auf den hintersten Abschnitt des Waffengehäuses und im Falle einer Waffe in konventioneller Bauweise auf den Hinterschaft.As a precaution, it should be noted that the used here Terms "shoulder rest device" or "Shoulder rest" is not tight on the buttocks of one Weapon are in conventional design, but generally refer to that section of a handgun refer to the normal stop on the The shoulder of the shooter. For example, refers the shoulder rest in the case of a bullpup-type weapon on the rearmost section of the gun case and in the case of a weapon of conventional design the buttstock.

Die Nut-Feder-Verbindung zwischen der Schulterstütze und der Bodenplatte kann sich im wesentlichen quer zur Waffenlängsrichtung über den gesamten Umfang der Schulterstütze erstrecken. Bevorzugt verläuft die Nut-Feder-Verbindung nur über Abschnitte an der Vorder- und/oder Rückseite der Schulterstütze. Besonders bevorzugt erstreckt sich die Nut-Feder-Verbindung im wesentlichen quer zur Waffenlängsrichtung etwa entlang der oberen Umfangshälfte der Schulterstütze. Bei der letztgenannten Ausgestaltung kann die Bodenplatte besonders bequem von der Seite bzw. von oben auf die Schulterstütze der Handfeuerwaffe aufgeschoben werden. Darüber hinaus bietet der so befestigte obere Abschnitt der Bodenplatte eine stabile Stützfläche z.B. für die Schließfeder des Verschlusses bei Gewehrtypen in Bullpup-Bauweise, bei welchen die Rückseite des Waffengehäüses offen ist und die Schließfeder sich nach hinten an der Bodenplatte abstützt. Im diesem Fall ermöglicht die Nut-Feder-Verbindung von Waffengehäuse und Bodenplatte auch eine schonende Krafteinleitung während des Schließvorganges, wenn der Verschluß auf die Bodenplatte auftrifft.The tongue and groove connection between the shoulder rest and the base plate can be essentially transverse to the longitudinal direction of the weapon over the entire circumference of the shoulder rest extend. The tongue and groove connection preferably runs only over sections on the front and / or Back of the shoulder rest. Particularly preferably extends the tongue and groove connection essentially transversely to the longitudinal direction of the weapon along the upper half of the circumference the shoulder rest. With the latter Design, the base plate can be particularly convenient from the side or from above onto the shoulder rest of the handgun be postponed. In addition, the so the upper section of the base plate attached a stable Support surface e.g. for the closing spring of the closure for rifle types in bullpup construction, in which the Back of the gun case is open and the closing spring is supported to the rear on the base plate. In this Case enables the tongue and groove connection of the weapon housing and base plate also a gentle introduction of force during the closing process when the shutter is open hits the bottom plate.

Zur Realisierung der Nut-Feder-Verbindung sind an der Schulterstütze und an der Bodenplatte bevorzugt jeweils eine oder mehrere zueinander komplementäre Stege (Federn) und Nuten ausgebildet, durch deren Eingriff die Bodenplatte ortsfest und kraftübertragend an der Schulterstütze anbringbar ist. Bevorzugt sind die Stege als Leisten an der Schulterstütze und/oder die Nuten in vorspringenden Leisten an der Bodenplatte ausgebildet. Besonders bevorzugt weist die Bodenplatte einen Befestigungsabschnitt auf, der außen an der Schulterstützenwandung anliegt und mit einer zur Schulterstützenwandung hin gerichteten Nut ausgebildet ist, in welcher ein dazu komplementär ausgebildeter Haltesteg im Bereich der hinteren Stirnkante der Schulterstützenwandung eingreift. Alternativ ist auch eine spiegelbildliche Anordnung von Nut und Feder denkbar, nämlich eine an der hinteren Stirnkante der Schulterstützenwandung verlaufende Nut und ein vorspringender Haltesteg am Befestigungsabschnitt der Bodenplatte. Als weitere Alternative kann der Befestigungsabschnitt der Bodenplatte auch an den Innenseite der Schulterstützenwandung anliegen, mit entsprechender Ausbildung der Nut-Feder-Befestigung, welche den beiden zuvor genannten Alternativen entspricht. Maßgeblich für die verschiedenen Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten ist, daß zerstörende Kräfte entlang der gesamten Länge des Flansches der Nut-Feder-Verbindung übertragen werden. Die im wesentlichen quer zur Waffenlängsrichtung verlaufenden Stege und Nuten übertragen seitlich an der Bodenplatte angreifende Biege- und Querkräfte über die Steg-Nut-Verbindung auf die Schulterstütze. Die Stege verstärken außerdem das hintere Waffenende beträchtlich. Diese Steg-Nut-Verbindung ermöglicht auch einen problemlosen und bequemen Austausch der Bodenplatte durch einfaches Verschieben der Bodenplatte. To realize the tongue and groove connection are on the Shoulder rest and on the base plate preferred each one or more mutually complementary webs (springs) and grooves formed by the engagement of the bottom plate stationary and power-transmitting on the shoulder rest is attachable. The webs are preferred as strips on the shoulder rest and / or the grooves in protruding Moldings formed on the base plate. Particularly preferred the bottom plate has a fastening section on the outside of the shoulder rest wall and with a groove facing the shoulder rest wall is formed, in which a complementary trained Holding bridge in the area of the rear edge of the Shoulder rest wall engages. Alternatively, there is one mirror-image arrangement of tongue and groove conceivable, namely one on the rear end edge of the shoulder rest wall running groove and a projecting retaining web on the fastening section of the base plate. As another Alternatively, the fastening section of the base plate also on the inside of the shoulder rest wall with appropriate training of the tongue and groove fastening, which are the two alternatives mentioned above equivalent. Decisive for the different design options is that destructive forces along the entire length of the flange of the tongue and groove connection be transmitted. The essentially transverse to the weapon longitudinal direction extending webs and grooves Bending and transverse forces acting on the side of the base plate via the bridge-groove connection to the shoulder rest. The bars also reinforce the rear weapon end considerably. This bridge-groove connection also enables easy and convenient replacement of the base plate by simply moving the base plate.

Erfindungsgemäß ist die Bodenplatte aus mehreren Teilen zusammengesetzt, die aus unterschiedlichen Materialien, z.B. aus Metall und Kunststoff oder aus unterschiedlichen Kunststoffmaterialien, gefertigt und einstückig miteinander verbunden sind. Dabei sind die Teile bevorzugt miteinander verklebt, vergossen, geschäumt oder verschweißt. Alternativ können die Teile der Bodenplatte auch lösbar miteinander verriegelt sein, z.B. mittels eines zusätzlichen Verschlußelements, wie es nachfolgend im Zusammenhang mit der Verriegelung der Nut-Feder-Verbindung noch beschrieben wird.According to the invention, the base plate consists of several parts composed of different materials, e.g. made of metal and plastic or different Plastic materials, manufactured and in one piece with each other are connected. The parts are preferably together glued, potted, foamed or welded. Alternatively, the parts of the base plate can also be detached locked together, e.g. by means of an additional Closure element, as related below with the locking of the tongue and groove connection still is described.

Bevorzugt ist das Abschlußstück der Bodenplatte aus blech- oder faserverstärktem Kunststoff und die Abdekkungskappe aus zähem oder schlagfestem Kunststoff gefertigt. Diese Konstruktionsvariante ermöglicht je nach Bedarf eine gezielte Auswahl der Materialien der Bodenplattenbestandteile. Das Abschlußstück, welches die Verbindung zwischen der Bodenplatte und der Schulterstütze trägt und wie erwähnt bei bestimmten Gewehrtypen auch als Abstützung der Schließfeder dient, ist demgemäß aus einem harten und verwindungssteifen Material gefertigt, wohingegen die Abdeckungskappe der Schulterstütze, auf welcher das Gewehr im Anschlag anliegt, aus einem entsprechend weicheren, bevorzugt aber zähen und schlagfesten Kunststoff, geschäumten Kunststoff oder Elastomer gefertigt ist. Vorzugsweise ist die Abdeckungskappe auch aus einem elastischen z.B. geschäumten Kunststoff oder Elastomer gefertigt, so daß sie auch eine rückstoßdämpfende Wirkung ausüben kann. Bevorzugt sind am freien Ende der Abschlußstück der Bodenplatte zusätzlich Verstärkungsrippen vorgesehen, welche die Struktur des Abschlußstückes versteifen und gleichzeitig als Befestigungsstellen für die Abdeckungskappe dienen, die z.B. damit verschweißt, verklebt oder daran aufgeschäumt ist.The end piece of the base plate is preferably made of Sheet or fiber reinforced plastic and the cover cap made of tough or impact-resistant plastic. This construction variant enables depending on the need a targeted selection of the materials of the base plate components. The end piece, which is the connection between the base plate and the shoulder rest carries and as mentioned with certain rifle types also as Support of the closing spring is, accordingly, from one made of hard and torsion-resistant material, whereas the shoulder rest cover cap on which the rifle is in the stop, from a corresponding softer, but preferably tough and impact-resistant plastic, foamed plastic or elastomer is. The cover cap is preferably also made of one elastic e.g. foamed plastic or elastomer manufactured so that they also have a recoil-damping effect can exercise. The end piece is preferred at the free end additional reinforcing ribs are provided on the base plate, which stiffen the structure of the end piece and at the same time as attachment points for the cover cap serve e.g. welded to it, glued or is foamed on it.

Nach dem Montieren der Bodenplatte auf die Schulterstütze der Handfeuerwaffe kann die Bodenplatte z.B. durch Verkleben mit der Schulterstütze nicht lösbar verbunden werden. Bevorzugt ist an der Bodenplatte aber ein Sicherungsverschluß zum wiederlösbaren Sperren der Nut-Feder-Verbindung vorgesehen. Besonders bevorzugt weist die Bodenplatte hierfür eine Durchgangsbohrung auf, welche im montierten Zustand mit einer entsprechenden Bohrung in einem in die Bodenplatte hinein ragenden Stirnendenabschnitt der Schulterstütze zusammenfällt und zur Aufnahme eines Sicherungsstiftes vorgesehen ist. Alternativ dazu ist die Bodenplatte so ausgebildet, daß sie mit einem oder mehreren Befestigungsabschnitten in die Schulterstütze hineinragt, wobei eine Durchgangsbohrung durch die Schulterstützenwandung und den Befestigungsabschnitt der Bodenplatte hindurchragt und zur Aufnahme eines Sicherungsstiftes geeignet ist.After mounting the base plate on the shoulder rest the handgun can e.g. by gluing not releasably connected to the shoulder rest. However, a safety lock is preferred on the base plate for releasable locking of the tongue and groove connection intended. The base plate particularly preferably has for this a through hole, which in assembled state with a corresponding hole in an end portion protruding into the base plate the shoulder rest collapses and for inclusion a locking pin is provided. Alternatively the base plate is designed so that it with a or several fastening sections in the shoulder rest protrudes, with a through hole through the Shoulder rest wall and the attachment portion of the Floor plate protrudes and to hold a locking pin suitable is.

Die Sicherung der Bodenplatte erfolgt vorzugsweise auch über einen Rasthaken, der von der Bodenplatte aus in ein entsprechendes Gegenstück an der Schulterstütze einrastet, oder umgekehrt an der Schulterstütze angebracht ist und an der Bodenplatte einrastet.The base plate is preferably also secured via a locking hook that goes from the base plate into one corresponding counterpart snaps onto the shoulder rest, or vice versa is attached to the shoulder rest and clicks into place on the base plate.

Bevorzugt sind an wenigstens einer Seite der Bodenplatte noch ein oder mehrere Riemenbügel angebracht. Die Tatsache, daß die Riemenbügel nicht wie oftmals im Stand der Technik an der Schulterstütze bzw. am Waffengehäuse selbst, sondern an der Bodenplatte angebracht sind, verringert weiter die Zerstörungsgefahr beim Fallversuch, weil zerstörende Kräfte nicht über die Riemenbügel unmittelbar auf die Schulterstütze, sondern ausschließlich über die Nut-Feder-Verbindung in abgeschwächter Form auf die Schulterstütze eingeleitet werden können.Are preferred on at least one side of the base plate one or more sling brackets attached. The fact, that the strap bracket is not as often in the state of the Technology on the shoulder rest or on the weapon housing itself, but are attached to the base plate, reduced further the risk of destruction when trying to drop, because destructive forces are not immediate via the sling swivel on the shoulder rest, but exclusively in a weakened form via the tongue and groove connection the shoulder rest can be initiated.

Die Figuren 1 und 2 zeigen das hintere Ende einer erfindungsgemäßen Schulterstützeneinrichtung. Gleiche Bezugszeichen bezeichnen jeweils gleiche Elemente. Die gezeigte Schulterstützeneinrichtung gehört zu einem Selbstladegewehr der sogenannten Bullpup-Bauweise. Bei dieser Bauweise fehlt der sonst bei konventionellen Gewehren hinter dem hinteren Ende des Waffengehäuses übliche, feste oder einklappbare Hinterschaft, so daß hier die Schulterstützeneinrichtung der hinterste Abschnitt des Waffengehäuses selbst ist. Es sei betont, daß sich die erfindungsgemäße Schulterstützeneinrichtung jedoch für jeden beliebigen Handfeuerwaffentyp eignet, wie für Selbstladegwehre, Schnellfeuergewehre, Maschinenpistolen oder Maschinengewehr, aber auch für herkömmliche Jagdgewehre und Flinten und sogar Anschlagschäfte für Pistolen.Figures 1 and 2 show the rear end of an inventive Shoulder restraint assembly. Same reference numbers denote the same elements. The one shown Shoulder rest device is part of a self-loading rifle the so-called bullpup construction. With this design otherwise missing from conventional rifles the rear end of the gun case usual, fixed or retractable buttstock, so that here the shoulder rest device the rearmost section of the gun case itself is. It should be emphasized that the invention However, shoulder rest device for any Handgun type is suitable as for self-loading rifles, Rapid fire rifles, submachine guns or machine guns, but also for conventional hunting rifles and shotguns and even pistol barrel stocks.

In den Figuren 1 und 2 ist ein Abschnitt einer Schulterstütze 2 dargestellt, die - wie gesagt - ein Teil eines kastenförmigen, nach hinten hin offenen Waffengehäuses ist. Auf der hinteren Stirnseite der Schulterstütze 2 ist eine Boden- bzw. Schulterplatte 4 aufgesetzt. Die Schulterstütze 2 ist weitgehend hohl und aus Gründen der Gewichtsersparnis aus einem dünnwandigen leichten Kunststoff gefertigt. Die Hauptfunktionen der Bodenplatte 4 sind der Schutz der Schulterstütze 2 vor Beschädigungen beim Aufsetzten des Gewehrs oder beim Herabfallen des Gewehrs aus einiger Höhe auf den Boden sowie der Anschlag für die Schließfeder und den zurücklaufenden Verschluß. Daneben ist die Bodenplatte 4 an der Rückseite mit einer konkaven Rundung ausgeformt, so daß die Schulterstütze 2 im Anschlag des Gewehres bequem und sicher an der Schulter des Schützen aufliegt.In Figures 1 and 2 is a section of a shoulder rest 2 shown, which - as I said - part of a box-shaped weapon case open to the rear is. On the rear end of the shoulder rest 2 is a base or shoulder plate 4 is placed. The shoulder rest 2 is largely hollow and for reasons of weight saving made of a thin-walled, lightweight plastic manufactured. The main functions of the base plate 4 are the protection of the shoulder rest 2 from damage when putting the rifle on or dropping the rifle from some height to the floor as well as the stop for the closing spring and the returning closure. In addition, the bottom plate 4 is on the back with a concave curve formed so that the shoulder rest 2 when the rifle is fired comfortably and securely on the shoulder of the shooter.

Im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Bodenplatte 4 aus zwei Teilen zusammengesetzt: einem Abschlußstück 6 und einer Abdeckungskappe 7. Gemäß Figur 1 erstreckt sich das Abschlußstück 6 nur etwa über die Hälfte der Höhe der Schulterstütze 2 und weist - gemäß Figur 2 - an seiner hinteren freien Seite zwei über seine gesamte Höhe, quer zur Waffenlängsrichtung, verlaufende Verstärkungsrippen 8 auf. Diese ragen über das hintere Ende der Schulterstütze 2 hinaus und sorgen für eine wirksame Aussteifung des Abschlußstückes 6 sowie für die Befestigungsflächen für die Abdeckungskappe 7. Ferner weist das Abschlußstück 6 einen vorderen Befestigungsabschnitt 9 auf, der außen an der Schulterstützenwandung 10 aufliegt und im wesentlichen entlang der oberen Umfangshälfte der Schulterstütze 2 verläuft. An der zur Schulterstützenwandung 10 hin gerichteten Innenseite des Befestigungsabschnittes 9 ist ringsum eine im wesentlichen quer zur Waffenlängsrichtung verlaufende Nut 12 ausbildet. In diese Nut 12 greift ein dazu komplementär ausgebildeter Haltesteg 13 an der hinteren Stirnkante der Schulterstützenwandung 10 ein. Der Haltesteg 13 verläuft folglich ebenfalls im wesentlich quer zur Waffenlängsrichtung und ist nach außen gerichtet. Der Haltesteg 13 ist ferner bevorzugt nur an demjenigen Kantenbereich der Schulterstützenwandung 10 ausgebildet, der von dem Befestigungsabschnitt 9 des Abschlußstückes 6 bedeckt ist, also nur etwa an der oberen Umfangshälfte der Schulterstützenwandung 10. Der Haltesteg 13 kann aber auch voll umfänglich an der hinteren Stirnkante der Schulterstütze 2 ausgebildet sein.In the present exemplary embodiment, the base plate is 4th composed of two parts: an end piece 6 and a cover cap 7. According to FIG. 1 extends the end piece 6 only about half the height of the Shoulder rest 2 and has - according to Figure 2 - on his rear free side two across its entire height, across to the weapon longitudinal direction, reinforcing ribs 8 on. These protrude over the rear end of the shoulder rest 2 and ensure effective stiffening of the end piece 6 and for the mounting surfaces for the Cover cap 7. Furthermore, the end piece 6 has a front mounting section 9 on the outside of the Shoulder rest wall 10 rests and essentially along the upper circumferential half of the shoulder rest 2 runs. On the facing towards the shoulder rest wall 10 Inside of the mounting portion 9 is all around one essentially transverse to the longitudinal direction of the weapon extending groove 12 forms. This groove 12 engages complementary trained retaining web 13 on the rear Front edge of the shoulder rest wall 10 a. The Retaining web 13 consequently also runs essentially transverse to the longitudinal direction of the weapon and is directed outwards. The holding web 13 is also preferably only on that Edge region of the shoulder rest wall 10, that of the fastening section 9 of the end piece 6 is covered, so only about the upper half of the circumference the shoulder rest wall 10. The holding bridge 13 can also be completely circumferential at the rear end edge the shoulder rest 2 be formed.

Gemäß Figur 1 erstreckt sich die Abdeckungskappe 7 über die gesamte Höhe der Schulterstütze 2 und ist - gemäß Figur 2 - in ihrer oberen Hälfte so an das Abschlußstück 6 angeformt, daß die Abdeckungskappe 7 die beiden Verstärkungsrippen 8 des Abschlußstückes 6 umgreift und im wesentlichen bündig mit den Außenkanten des Befestigungsabschnittes 9 abschließt. Die Abdeckungskappe 7 ist aus einem geschäumten Kunststoff oder Elastomer gefertigt; das Abschlußstück 6 kann ebenfalls aus faserverstärktem Kunststoff, oder aus Metall gefertigt sein. Die Abdekkungskappe 7 ist über die beiden Verstärkungsrippen 8 mit dem Abschlußstück 6 zu einem Stück nicht-lösbar verschweißt oder verklebt. Sie können aber auch miteinander vergossen oder das eine auf das andere Teil aufgeschäumt sein.According to Figure 1, the cover cap 7 extends over the entire height of the shoulder rest 2 and is - according to the figure 2 - in its upper half to the end piece 6 molded that the cover cap 7, the two reinforcing ribs 8 of the end piece 6 engages and essentially flush with the outer edges of the fastening section 9 completes. The cover cap 7 is made of one made of foamed plastic or elastomer; the End piece 6 can also be made of fiber reinforced Plastic, or be made of metal. The cover cap 7 is on the two reinforcing ribs 8 with the end piece 6 welded non-detachably to a piece or glued. But you can also with each other shed or the one foamed on the other part his.

Die aus dem Abschlußstück 6 und der Abdeckungskappe 7 zusammengesetzte Bodenplatte 4 wird bei der Montage von der Seite bzw. von oben in der in Figur 1 mit P dargestellten Richtung entlang der durch die Nut 12 und den Haltesteg 13 gebildeten schienenartigen Nut-Feder- bzw. Nut-Steg-Verbindung bis zum Anschlag des Befestigungsabschnittes 9 auf die Schulterstütze 2 aufgeschoben. Zum Sichern und Sperren der aufgeschobenen Bodenplatte 4 ist im unteren Endbereich der Abdeckungskappe 7 eine Bohrung 15 vorgesehen, durch welche ein nicht dargestellter Sicherungsstift hindurch geschoben werden kann. Ferner ist die Schulterstütze 2 mit dem in Figur 1 gestrichelt dargestellten Stirnendenprofil ausgebildet, das mit einem nasenartigen Vorsprung 17 in das Innere der Abdeckungskappe 7 bis über die Position der Bohrung 15 hinaus ragt. Auch die Schulterstützenwandung 10 weist zumindest an der Vorderseite eine mit der Bohrung 15 in der Abdeckungskappe 7 zusammenfallende Bohrung auf, so daß der Sicherungstift hindurchgeführt werden kann. Die Sicherung kann alternativ auch über einen Rasthaken an der Abdeckungskappe 7 erfolgen.The composite from the end piece 6 and the cover cap 7 Base plate 4 is in the assembly of the Side or from above in the P shown in Figure 1 Direction along the through the groove 12 and the holding bridge 13 formed rail-like tongue and groove or groove-web connection until the fastening section 9 stops pushed onto the shoulder rest 2. For securing and Locking the slid base plate 4 is in the lower End region of the cover cap 7, a bore 15 is provided, through which a locking pin, not shown can be pushed through. Furthermore, the shoulder rest 2 with the dashed line shown in Figure 1 End profile designed with a nose-like Projection 17 in the interior of the cap 7 to over the position of the bore 15 protrudes. The shoulder rest wall too 10 points at least on the front one coinciding with the bore 15 in the cover cap 7 Open the hole so that the locking pin is passed through can be. The backup can alternatively also take place via a locking hook on the cover cap 7.

Bei dieser Verbindungsart zwischen Bodenplatte 4 und Schulterstütze 2 werden bei einem etwaigen Fall des Gewehres auftretende Stoß- und Querkräfte über die gesamte Länge der Nut-Feder-Verbindung aufgenommen und entsprechend verteilt auf die Schulterstütze 2 übertragen. Somit ist das Zerstörungspotential im freien Fall deutlich verringert. An der Vorderseite und bevorzugt auch an der Rückseite der Abdeckungskappe 7 der Bodenplatte 4 ist jeweils ein Riemenbügel 19 befestigt. In die Riemenbügel 19 eingeleitete Lasten werden so vorteilhaft von der Bodenplatte 4 aufgenommen und entlang der Nut-Feder-Befestigung der Bodenplatte 4 zur Schulterstütze 2 gleichmäßig in die Schulterstütze 2 eingeleitet. Ferner kann die Abdeckungskappe 7 bzw. die ganze Bodenplatte 4 zu diesem Zweck auch begrenzt elastisch verformbar sein.With this type of connection between base plate 4 and Shoulder rest 2 will be in the event of a fall of the rifle occurring impact and transverse forces over the entire Length of the tongue and groove connection included and accordingly distributed to the shoulder rest 2 transferred. Consequently the potential for destruction is significantly reduced in free fall. On the front and preferably also on the front Back of the cover 7 of the base plate 4 is in each case a strap bracket 19 attached. In the sling bracket 19 initiated loads are thus advantageous from the base plate 4 added and along the tongue and groove fastening the base plate 4 to the shoulder rest 2 evenly introduced into the shoulder rest 2. Further the cover cap 7 or the entire base plate 4 for this purpose also be elastically deformable to a limited extent.
