Definitions
- the invention relates to a running rail according to the preamble of claim 1 and a handgun with such a running rail. Finally, the invention also relates to such a running rail, which can be built on the rifle instead of the support bracket.
- Such a running rail is from the US 5,590,484 A known.
- This track which is designed as a straight running rail or as a hollow rail, serves primarily to facilitate the targets in the volatile shot or shotgun in particular.
- the controls of the rifle protects from above and forms a carrying handle, in which an optical or mechanical visor embedded or attached to it.
- the visor since the axis of the axis (central axis of the barrel) usually passes through the bottom plate of the shoulder support to minimize the impact of the recoil, the visor must be placed a considerable distance above the barrel for the shooter to adopt a casual posture. This distance is made by the embedded in the mounting bracket visor so that the sighting line is located at an ideal distance above the rifle. This visor forms the standard sight of the weapon.
- a hunting rifle with a narrow prism rail for holding the riflescope must be re-injected each time the scope is removed and replaced. With wider sight rails, this is unnecessary, especially in the so-called “Picatinny rail”. It is therefore convenient, especially in military use, to remove the special aiming device each time (e.g., after use) when it is not needed to protect it from damage. This means that a standard weapon is usually equipped with its standard sight.
- the grain assembly is also retractable into the track rail, and that the entire track rail is designed as a mounting rail for attaching an additional device and having a width that exceeds the retractable grain and visor assembly.
- this mounting rail can be pushed both from the front and from behind an accessory when grain and visor are sunk, because the recessed parts of the target close at most and preferably flush with the upper surface of the mounting rail, and the width of the mounting rail exceeds the Target devices, so that they do not affect the displacement of an attachment on the mounting rail in the lowered state.
- the lowering of the grain and visor is most easily and therefore preferably understood by folding down the lowerable parts about a horizontal, transverse axis.
- the mounting rail can, as in the above-mentioned, known pistol, be integrated into the weapon, but is preferably placed and removed again, so that when manufactured by simple means several versions of a weapon can be manufactured and offered in a cost effective modular design.
- the invention provides virtually the same line of sight with simple means for standard sight and additional equipment, the invention can be used in principle in handguns of all kinds, without restricting their usefulness, ie in sniper rifles, rapid-fire guns, submachine guns and pistols, but also in a karooka, a portable grenade launcher for direct or quasi-direct shot and many more. Prerequisite, however, is a match of the interface to the weapon housing.
- the invention is particularly well suited for rapid-fire rifles whose top is covered and protected by a handle-like sight.
- a protective cover as a handle has the purpose of enabling a sighting with a sighting line, which is far above the weapon.
- the weapon is because of the more favorable recoil because of provided with a shoulder rest, which is approximately at the height of the axis of the soul (running central axis).
- the invention proposes a kit of a rapid-fire rifle with removable mounting bracket and a mounting rail for receiving additional equipment that can be built instead of the previous bracket on the rifle and on the front of a retractable grain assembly and on the back of a retractable sighting having.
- the mounting bracket Since the mounting bracket must be mounted without play in the transverse direction and high direction of the weapon, since he carries the standard visor, it is readily possible to install as well as a mounting rail play, on the one hand serves as a protective cover for moving parts, but on the other hand can run lower over the weapon as the carrying handle, since the sighting line with effective, so folded up standard sight is arbitrarily above the mounting rail. Conversely, the sight line of ancillary equipment is not too high, as hitherto, because the ancillary equipment is above the Mounting rail in exactly the ideal height can be attached. The position of the mounting rail namely only indirectly affects the sighting line of the standard sight.
- additional equipment may be provided with a mounting that allows a simple and quick pushing and unplugging, since the jaws of the assembly so just stretch or release the rail, and not, as before, must be spread so far that a decrease after above is possible.
- the invention also relates to an attachable to the top of a handgun mounting rail, in which at the front of the mounting rail a retractable grain assembly and at the back of a retractable sighting is formed, which does not obstruct the sliding and removal of a mounting in each folded state, but in the unfolded state has an almost ideal altitude above the mounting rail.
- the mounting rail can be designed arbitrarily, provided that their cross section does not change so much that the postponement of an assembly from the front or from behind is impossible.
- the mounting rail has a symmetrically downwardly narrowing cross-section. It is therefore similar to a swallowtail.
- the upper longitudinal edges of the mounting rail are chamfered, so that no sharp angles are formed at which a shooter could hurt.
- Mounting rails of this type are already known, which optionally have at the top of transverse grooves into which a bolt of the assembly can engage to fix the attachment in the longitudinal direction of the weapon.
- the best known and preferred within the scope of the invention is the so-called “Picatinny” rail.
- Such a rail is compared to the dovetail classical Aufschubmontagen, relatively wide and may even be made of plastic.
- the mounting rail made of metal, in particular aluminum alloy.
- Metal provides surface pressure resistance, but due to the large dimensions of a Picatinny rail, a light metal is quite sufficient to carry heavy equipment such as rangefinders equipped with elevation calculation electronics.
- rangefinders equipped with elevation calculation electronics.
- even heavier, more resistant versions of ancillary equipment can be used than they could previously be attached to the carrying handle, since the height of the mounting rail over the weapon can be much lower.
- the retractable visor in the mounting rail can be an open visor, as it is known from hunting rifles and most military rifles of the early 20th century ago. However, it is preferred that the visor is a sight sight.
- this Dioptervisier can be located close to the eye of the shooter, so that the length of the mounting rail for the standard sight can be fully utilized. Namely, the mounting rail should be able to be brought as close as possible under the eye of the shooter in order not to admit any optical visors of all kinds.
- the mounting rail is mounted on a handgun, especially on a rapid-fire rifle, then it is set in the vertical and transverse directions, but in a sense has a floating bearing in the longitudinal direction to tolerances, thermal expansions o. The like. Take the weapon without tensions are generated , Therefore, the mounting rail can also have a considerable length compared to conventional, military Aufschubmontagen. The positional precision, based on the sighting arrangement, is thereby further improved.
- the invention further proposes that the grain and / or the visor assembly of the mounting rail is adjustable in the lateral position to customize the standard visor to each weapon individually and as accurately as possible.
- a holder for attachment to the handgun or the rapid-fire rifle is attached to the front and back of the mounting rail.
- brackets can be designed as a fixed bearing and a movable bearing, as is the case with a steel bridge, so that relative thermal expansion between the gun and mounting rail are permitted and have no effect on them.
- a rapid-fire rifle 1 is shown, the carrying handle has been replaced by a Picatinny rail 3, which is spaced above the axis of the soul (not shown) and approximately parallel to this.
- the distance between the weapon 1 and rail 3 is less than it used to be the distance between the weapon 1 and the carrying handle (not shown).
- the rear end of the rail 3 has a rear bracket 7, which is pushed onto a rail-like longitudinal training on the top, and back of the gun housing and has the effect of a floating bearing, while the front end 5 by bolts o. The like.
- a front bracket 5 is fixed and has the effect of a fixed bearing.
- a front recess 19 sits a forward collapsible grain 11, and at the Front of the rear recess 21 is a rearwardly foldable Dioptervisier 13 (see Fig. 2a, b ).
- Grain 11 and sight 13 can be set up ( Fig.2a, b ), so that they serve as a standard sight of the automatic rifle 1, or be folded forward or back, in which case the rail 3 has a substantially flat, upper surface which is interrupted only by transverse grooves. Laterally, the flat folded grain 11 and sight 13 are not on the contour of the rail 3, so that - with folded grain 11 and sight 13 - an additional device effortlessly pushed from the front or back to the rail 3 or can be deducted from this.
- a pair of transverse screws 17 are further arranged, which serve for the transverse adjustment of the grain 11.
- the rail 3 has laterally on each side of the rear bracket 7 on each side rail mounting 15 to which a side rail 9 can be attached, which is similar to the rail 3, but is shorter, laterally offset and tilted 90 ° outwards ,
- the rail 3 with its brackets 5 and 7 and side rail (s) 9 are made of aluminum alloy and preferably provided with a coating or anodization, which causes even sea air can not damage the aluminum.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Laufschiene gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 und eine Handfeuerwaffe mit einer solchen Laufschiene. Schließlich betrifft die Erfindung auch eine solche Laufschiene, die anstelle des Tragbügels auf das Gewehr gebaut werden kann.The invention relates to a running rail according to the preamble of
Eine solche Laufschiene ist aus der
In der Folge verwendete Lagebezeichnungen, wie "oben", "vorne" usw. beziehen sich stets auf die feuerbereite, in normalem Anschlag gehaltene Waffe mit horizontalem Lauf, der nach "vorne", d.h. gegen das Ziel, weist.Location labels used hereafter, such as "top", "front", etc., always refer to the fire-ready, normally-held, horizontal-barreled weapon which is "forward", i. against the target, points.
Auf dem Gebiet der meist unter Verwendung aufwendiger Handarbeit hergestellten Jagd-Kipplaufwaffen ist es bekannt, teuere Drillinge mit einer Kimme zu versehen, die umklappbar ist und bei Umstellung auf Kugelschuß meist automatisch aufklappt. Wird wieder auf Schrotschuß gestellt, dann klappt die Kimme um und bietet mit der Laufschiene eine Durchgehende Oberfläche dar. Ferner haben solche Gewehre oft auch ein aufklappbares, grobes Flintenkorn, das bei Schrotschuß das fest montierte Büchsenkorn überdeckt. Ein Korn bleibt jedoch unter allen Umständen sichtbar und ragt über des vordere Ende der Laufschiene.In the field of mostly produced using elaborate handcraft hunting Kipplaufwaffen it is known to provide expensive triplets with a sight, which is folded down and usually opens automatically when switching to ball shot. Will put back on shotgun, then the rear sight works and provides with the running rail a continuous surface. Furthermore, such rifles often have a hinged, coarse shotgun grain that covers the firmly mounted bush grain in shotgun. A grain remains visible under all circumstances and protrudes over the front end of the track.
Diese Laufschiene, die als gerade Laufschiene oder als Hohlschiene ausgebildet ist, dient in erster Linie dazu, das Zielen beim flüchtigem Kugelschuß oder besonders beim Schrotschuß zu erleichtern.This track, which is designed as a straight running rail or as a hollow rail, serves primarily to facilitate the targets in the volatile shot or shotgun in particular.
Auf einem ganz anderen Gebiet der meist zur Gänze maschinell hergestellten Waffen hat ein modernes Schnellfeuergewehr in der Regel einen an der Oberseite des Gewehres angebrachten Tragbügel, der Bedienungselemente des Gewehres von oben her schützt und einen Tragegriff bildet, in den ein optisches oder mechanisches Visier eingelassen oder daran befestigt ist. Da nämlich die Seelenachse (Mittelachse des Laufs) in der Regel durch die Bodenplatte der Schulterstütze läuft, um die Auswirkung des Rückstoßes zu minimieren, muß das Visier mit erheblichem Abstand über dem Lauf angebracht sein, damit der Schütze beim Schuß eine ungezwungene Haltung einnimmt. Dieser Abstand wird durch das in den Tragbügel eingelassene Visier so hergestellt, daß sich die Visierlinie in idealem Abstand über dem Gewehr befindet. Dieses Visier bildet das Standardvisier der Waffe.In a very different field of mostly fully machined weapons has a modern automatic rifle usually mounted on the top of the rifle mounting bracket, the controls of the rifle protects from above and forms a carrying handle, in which an optical or mechanical visor embedded or attached to it. Namely, since the axis of the axis (central axis of the barrel) usually passes through the bottom plate of the shoulder support to minimize the impact of the recoil, the visor must be placed a considerable distance above the barrel for the shooter to adopt a casual posture. This distance is made by the embedded in the mounting bracket visor so that the sighting line is located at an ideal distance above the rifle. This visor forms the standard sight of the weapon.
Soll nun zusätzlich eine Sonder-Zieleinrichtung (Nachtsichtgerät, Zielfernrohr, Laservisier usw.) am Gewehr angebracht werden, so ergibt sich dann oft eine fehlerhafte Lage der Visierlinie, da ja deren Ideallage bereits vom Standardvisier eingenommen wird.If now a special target device (night vision, riflescope, laser sight, etc.) are also attached to the rifle, then often results in a faulty position of the sighting line, since their ideal position is already taken by the standard sight.
Zum Zweck der Aufnahme einer Sonder-Zieleinrichtung wäre es natürlich möglich, diese anstelle des Tragbügels zu verwenden, der bei den meisten Schnellfeuergewehren ausbaubar ist. In diesem Fall würde aber das Standardvisier entfallen. Dies ist nachteilig, da die Sonder-Zieleinrichtung meist nicht so universell einsetzbar ist wie das Standardvisier.For the purpose of accommodating a special aiming device, it would of course be possible to use it instead of the carrying handle, which is removable in most rapid-fire guns. In this case, but the standard sight would be omitted. This is disadvantageous because the special target device is usually not as universally applicable as the standard sight.
Im übrigen ist es, besonders bei Repetiergewehren, aber auch bei Pistolen, Maschinenpistolen und Schnellfeuergewehren, bekannt, zusätzliche Prismenschienen abzubringen, auf denen die genannten Sonder-Zieleinrichtungen, aber auch andere Geräte (z.B. Scheinwerfer), abnehmbar so montiert werden können, daß sie nicht die Visierlinie versperren.Moreover, it is known, especially in repeating rifles, but also in pistols, submachine guns and rapid-fire rifles, to dissuade additional prismatic rails on which said special aiming devices, but also others Devices (eg headlamps), can be mounted removably so that they do not obstruct the sight line.
Bei Scharfschützengewehren, Scheibengewehren und Jagdgewehren ist es üblich, entweder die Standardvisierung überhaupt wegzulassen oder sie durch das Zielfernrohr zu verdecken, so daß sie nur bei abgenommenem Zielfernrohr benutzbar ist. Außerdem gibt es für Jagdgewehre Zielfernrohrmontagen, unter denen man auf das Standardvisier hindurchsehen kann; hier gilt jedoch das, was bereits bei Schnellfeuergewehren gesagt wurde: beide Visierlinien liegen übereinander, so daß bestenfalls nur eine optimal sein kann.For sniper rifles, disc rifles and hunting rifles, it is common practice to either omit the standard sights altogether or obscure them by the riflescope so that they can only be used with the riflescope removed. There are also riflescope mountings for hunting rifles under which one can see through to the standard visor; here, however, what has already been said in rapid-fire guns: both lines of sight are on top of each other, so that at best only one can be optimal.
Ein Jagdgewehr mit einer schmalen Prismenschiene zur Halterung des Zielfernrohres muß jedesmal, wenn das Zielfernrohr abgenommen und wieder aufgesetzt wird, neu eingeschossen werden. Bei breiteren Visierschienen erübrigt sich dies, besonders bei der sogenannten "Picatinny-Schiene". Dort ist es daher zweckmäßig, gerade in militärischem Einsatz die Sonder-Zieleinrichtung jedesmal (z.B. nach dem Einsatz) abzunehmen, wenn sie nicht benötigt wird, um sie vor Beschädigung zu schützen. Dies bedeutet, daß eine Standardwaffe in aller Regel mit ihrem Standardvisier ausgerüstet ist.A hunting rifle with a narrow prism rail for holding the riflescope must be re-injected each time the scope is removed and replaced. With wider sight rails, this is unnecessary, especially in the so-called "Picatinny rail". It is therefore convenient, especially in military use, to remove the special aiming device each time (e.g., after use) when it is not needed to protect it from damage. This means that a standard weapon is usually equipped with its standard sight.
Aber auch bei einer Änderung der Einsatzbedingungen ist es dann zweckmäßig, die Sonder-Zieleinrichtung zu entfernen, wenn sie unzweckmäßig geworden ist (z.B. ein Nachvisier am Tag). Dann ist es notwendig, daß das Standardvisier eingeschossen (d. h. einjustiert) ist und sich dessen Visierlinie möglichst in der richtigen Höhe befindet.But even with a change in the conditions of use, it is then appropriate to remove the special target device if it has become inappropriate (for example, a Nachvisier on the day). Then it is necessary for the standard sight to be shot (i.e., adjusted) and its line of sight as close as possible to the correct height.
Dies gilt auch für Pistolen: ein in der Dämmerung sinnvolles Laservisier ist zum Beispiel bei leeren Batterien oder an einem sonnigen Tag im Freien sinnlos.This also applies to pistols: a meaningful in the twilight laser sight is meaningless, for example, when the batteries are empty or outdoors on a sunny day.
Hier soll die Erfindung eingreifen und eine Lösung für Handfeuerwaffen, besonders Ordonnanzwaffen, ganz speziell für Schnellfeuergewehre finden, wobei eine möglichst optimale Montage von Sonder-Zieleinrichtungen möglich sein soll, ohne daß das Standardvisier in seiner möglichst optimalen Lage Einbußen erleidet.Here is the invention intervene and find a solution for handguns, especially ordnance, especially for rapid-fire rifles, with the best possible installation of special targets should be possible without the standard sight suffers losses in its optimal position possible.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Kornanordnung ebenfalls in die Laufschiene versenkbar ist, und daß die gesamte Laufschiene als Montageschiene zur Anbringung einer Zusatzeinrichtung ausgebildet ist und eine Breite aufweist, die die der versenkbaren Korn- und Visieranordnung übertrifft.This object is achieved in that the grain assembly is also retractable into the track rail, and that the entire track rail is designed as a mounting rail for attaching an additional device and having a width that exceeds the retractable grain and visor assembly.
Auf diese Montageschiene kann sowohl von vorne als auch von hinten ein Zusatzgerät aufgeschoben werden, wenn Korn und Visier versenkt sind, denn die versenkten Teile der Zieleinrichtung schließen höchstens und bevorzugt bündig mit der oberen Fläche der Montageschiene ab, und die Breite der Montageschiene übersteigt die der Zieleinrichtungen, so daß diese in abgesenktem Zustand das Verschieben eines Zusatzgerätes auf der Montageschiene in keiner Weise beeinträchtigen.On this mounting rail can be pushed both from the front and from behind an accessory when grain and visor are sunk, because the recessed parts of the target close at most and preferably flush with the upper surface of the mounting rail, and the width of the mounting rail exceeds the Target devices, so that they do not affect the displacement of an attachment on the mounting rail in the lowered state.
Das Absenken von Korn und Visier wird am einfachsten und daher bevorzugt durch Umklappen der absenkbaren Teile um eine horizontale, querverlaufende Achse verstanden.The lowering of the grain and visor is most easily and therefore preferably understood by folding down the lowerable parts about a horizontal, transverse axis.
Es ist im übrigen schon bekannt, den Oberteil einer überschweren Selbstladepistole als breite Schiene auszubilden ("Desert Eagle" von IMI, Israel), aber auch bei dieser Waffe überragt das Standardvisier die Vorder- und Rückseite der Montageschiene, so daß Zusatzgeräte nicht von vorne oder hinten auf die Schiene aufgeschoben oder von dieser abgezogen werden können. Es sind bei dieser bekannten Pistole immer Montagen für die Zusatzeinrichtungen erforderlich, die sich weit genug spreizen lassen, um von oben auf die Montageschiene aufgesetzt zu werden. Außerdem behindert gegebenenfalls das Standardvisier die Sicht durch ein Zusatzgerät, dessen Visierlinie mit der des Standardvisiers zusammenfällt oder kollidiert.Incidentally, it is already known to form the upper part of a heavy self-loading pistol as a broad rail ("Desert Eagle" IMI, Israel), but even with this weapon, the standard visor towers over the front and back of the mounting rail, so that attachments are not from the front or slid on the back of the rail or pulled off can be. There are in this known pistol always assemblies for the additional equipment required that can be spread far enough to be placed on top of the mounting rail. In addition, if necessary, the standard sight obstructs the view through an attachment whose sight line coincides with or collides with that of the standard sight.
Die Montageschiene kann, wie bei der obengenannten, bekannten Pistole, in die Waffe integriert sein, ist aber bevorzugt aufsetzbar und wieder abnehmbar, so daß bei der Herstellung mit einfachen Mitteln mehrere Ausführungen einer Waffe in kostengünstiger Modulbauweise hergestellt und angeboten werden können.The mounting rail can, as in the above-mentioned, known pistol, be integrated into the weapon, but is preferably placed and removed again, so that when manufactured by simple means several versions of a weapon can be manufactured and offered in a cost effective modular design.
Da die Erfindung mit einfachen Mitteln für Standardvisier und Zusatzeinrichtung praktisch die gleiche Visierlinie bietet, kann die Erfindung im Prinzip bei Handfeuerwaffen aller Art verwendet werden, ohne deren Brauchbarkeit einzuschränken, also bei Scharfschützengewehren, Schnellfeuergewehren, Maschinenpistolen und Pistolen, aber auch etwa bei einer Panzerfaust, einem tragbaren Granatwerfer für den direkten oder quasi-direkten Schuß und viele mehr. Voraussetzung ist jedoch ein Übereinstimmen der Schnittstelle zum Waffengehäuse.Since the invention provides virtually the same line of sight with simple means for standard sight and additional equipment, the invention can be used in principle in handguns of all kinds, without restricting their usefulness, ie in sniper rifles, rapid-fire guns, submachine guns and pistols, but also in a bazooka, a portable grenade launcher for direct or quasi-direct shot and many more. Prerequisite, however, is a match of the interface to the weapon housing.
Besonders gut ist die Erfindung jedoch für Schnellfeuergewehre geeignet, deren Oberseite von einer griffähnlichen Visierung abgedeckt und geschützt wird. Wie schon eingangs erwähnt, hat die Ausbildung einer solchen Schutzabdeckung als Griff den Zweck, eine Visierung mit einer Visierlinie zu ermöglichen, die weit über der Waffe liegt. Die Waffe ist nämlich des günstigeren Rückstoßes wegen mit einer Schulterstütze versehen, die etwa auf Höhe der Seelenachse (Lauf-Mittelachse) liegt.However, the invention is particularly well suited for rapid-fire rifles whose top is covered and protected by a handle-like sight. As already mentioned, the formation of such a protective cover as a handle has the purpose of enabling a sighting with a sighting line, which is far above the weapon. The weapon is because of the more favorable recoil because of provided with a shoulder rest, which is approximately at the height of the axis of the soul (running central axis).
Bei solchen Waffen ist es dann, wenn man keine Schutzabdeckung benötigt, üblich, Korn und Visier umklappbar auszubilden (z.B. beim schweizer Sturmgewehr 57). Sobald aber Teile vor dem rauhen Kontakt mit der Umgebung geschützt werden müssen, wie etwa der Spannschieber des französischen Schnellfeuergewehres FA MAS F3, verwendet man auf der Oberseite der Waffe einen Schutz- oder Tragbügel, der oben das Standardvisier trägt und der deshalb spielfrei an der Waffe befestigt sein muß.In such weapons, it is then, if you do not need a protective cover, customary to make grain and visor foldable (for example, the Swiss assault rifle 57). However, as soon as parts have to be protected from rough contact with the environment, such as the cocking slide of the French rifle FA MAS F3, one uses on the top of the weapon a protective or mounting bracket that carries the standard visor above and therefore free of play on the weapon must be attached.
Hier ist es besonders schwierig, eine zusätzliche, spielfreie Halterung für Zusatzeinrichtungen anzubringen, die notfalls den Blick über das Standardvisier gestattet, aber die Visierlinie der Zusatzeinrichtung ebenso anatomisch günstig anordnet wie die des Standardvisiers.Here it is particularly difficult to attach an additional, play-free bracket for additional equipment that allows the view of the standard visor, if necessary, but arranges the sight line of the accessory as anatomically favorable as that of the standard visor.
Zur Lösung dieser Problematik schlägt die Erfindung einen Bausatz aus einem Schnellfeuergewehr mit ausbaubarem Tragbügel und aus einer Montageschiene zur Aufnahme von Zusatzeinrichtungen vor, die anstelle des bisherigen Tragbügels auf das Gewehr gebaut werden kann und an der Vorderseite eine einklappbare Kornanordnung und an der Rückseite eine einklappbare Visieranordnung aufweist.To solve this problem, the invention proposes a kit of a rapid-fire rifle with removable mounting bracket and a mounting rail for receiving additional equipment that can be built instead of the previous bracket on the rifle and on the front of a retractable grain assembly and on the back of a retractable sighting having.
Da der Tragbügel in Querrichtung und Hochrichtung der Waffe spielfrei angebracht sein muß, da er ja das Standardvisier trägt, ist es ohne weiteres möglich, ebenso spielfrei eine Montageschiene anzubringen, die einerseits als Schutzabdeckung für bewegliche Teile dient, andererseits aber niedriger über der Waffe verlaufen kann als der Tragegriff, da die Visierlinie bei wirksamem, also nach oben geklapptem Standardvisier beliebig über der Montageschiene liegt. Umgekehrt liegt die Visierlinie von Zusatzeinrichtungen nicht, wie bisher, zu hoch, da die Zusatzeinrichtung über der Montageschiene in genau der idealen Höhe anbringbar ist. Die Lage der Montageschiene beeinflußt nämlich die der Visierlinie des Standardvisiers nur mittelbar.Since the mounting bracket must be mounted without play in the transverse direction and high direction of the weapon, since he carries the standard visor, it is readily possible to install as well as a mounting rail play, on the one hand serves as a protective cover for moving parts, but on the other hand can run lower over the weapon as the carrying handle, since the sighting line with effective, so folded up standard sight is arbitrarily above the mounting rail. Conversely, the sight line of ancillary equipment is not too high, as hitherto, because the ancillary equipment is above the Mounting rail in exactly the ideal height can be attached. The position of the mounting rail namely only indirectly affects the sighting line of the standard sight.
Zusätzlich können Zusatzeinrichtungen mit einer Montage versehen sein, die ein einfaches und rasches Aufschieben und Abziehen gestattet, da die Backen der Montage ja nur gerade die Schiene spannen oder freigeben müssen, und nicht, wie bisher, so weit gespreizt werden müssen, daß ein Abnehmen nach oben möglich ist.In addition, additional equipment may be provided with a mounting that allows a simple and quick pushing and unplugging, since the jaws of the assembly so just stretch or release the rail, and not, as before, must be spread so far that a decrease after above is possible.
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auch auf eine auf der Oberseite einer Handfeuerwaffe anbringbare Montageschiene, bei der an der Vorderseite der Montageschiene eine einklappbare Kornanordnung und an der Rückseite eine einklappbare Visieranordnung ausgebildet ist, die jeweils in eingeklapptem Zustand nicht das Aufschieben und Abziehen einer Montage behindert, aber in aufgeklapptem Zustand eine nahezu ideale Höhenlage über der Montageschiene aufweist.The invention also relates to an attachable to the top of a handgun mounting rail, in which at the front of the mounting rail a retractable grain assembly and at the back of a retractable sighting is formed, which does not obstruct the sliding and removal of a mounting in each folded state, but in the unfolded state has an almost ideal altitude above the mounting rail.
Hierbei sind die Teile der Visieranordnung einfach umklappbar. Auf andere Möglichkeiten, das Visier zu versenken, wurde verzichtet.Here, the parts of the visor assembly are easily folded. Other ways of sinking the visor were abandoned.
Die Montageschiene kann beliebig gestaltet werden, vorausgesetzt, ihr Querschnitt ändert sich nicht so weit, daß das Aufschieben einer Montage von Vorne oder von hinten unmöglich wird.The mounting rail can be designed arbitrarily, provided that their cross section does not change so much that the postponement of an assembly from the front or from behind is impossible.
Besonders bevorzugt ist jedoch eine Anordnung, bei der die Montageschiene einen symmetrisch nach unten schmäler werdenden Querschnitt aufweist. Sie ähnelt somit einem Schwalbenschwanz.However, an arrangement in which the mounting rail has a symmetrically downwardly narrowing cross-section is particularly preferred. It is therefore similar to a swallowtail.
Dabei sind bevorzugt die oberen Längskanten der Montageschiene abgefast, so daß keine spitzen Winkel gebildet werden, an denen sich ein Schütze verletzen könnte.In this case, preferably the upper longitudinal edges of the mounting rail are chamfered, so that no sharp angles are formed at which a shooter could hurt.
Montageschienen dieser Art sind bereits bekannt, die gegebenenfalls an der Oberseite Quernuten aufweisen, in die ein Riegel der Montage eingreifen kann, um die Zusatzeinrichtung in Längsrichtung der Waffe zu fixieren. Die bekannteste und im Rahmen der Erfindung bevorzugte ist die sogenannte "Picatinny"-Schiene. Eine solche Schiene ist, verglichen mit dem Schwalbenschwanz klassischer Aufschubmontagen, verhältnismäßig breit und kann unter Umständen sogar aus Kunststoff ausgeführt sein.Mounting rails of this type are already known, which optionally have at the top of transverse grooves into which a bolt of the assembly can engage to fix the attachment in the longitudinal direction of the weapon. The best known and preferred within the scope of the invention is the so-called "Picatinny" rail. Such a rail is compared to the dovetail classical Aufschubmontagen, relatively wide and may even be made of plastic.
Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung wird jedoch bevorzugt, daß die Montageschiene aus Metall, insbesondere aus Aluminiumlegierung besteht. Dabei sorgt Metall für die Widerstandsfähigkeit gegenüber Flächenpressungen, aber aufgrund der großen Abmessungen einer Picatinny-Schiene ist ein Leichtmetall völlig ausreichend, um auch schwere Geräte, wie etwa Entfernungsmesser, die mit einer Elektronik zur Elevationsberechnung ausgestattet sind, sicher zu tragen. In diesem Rahmen sei auch darauf hingewiesen, daß auch schwerere, widerstandsfähigere Ausführungen von Zusatzeinrichtung verwendet werden können, als sie bisher am Tragegriff angebracht werden konnten, da die Höhe der Montageschiene über der Waffe viel geringer sein kann.In the context of the present invention, however, it is preferred that the mounting rail made of metal, in particular aluminum alloy. Metal provides surface pressure resistance, but due to the large dimensions of a Picatinny rail, a light metal is quite sufficient to carry heavy equipment such as rangefinders equipped with elevation calculation electronics. In this context, it should also be noted that even heavier, more resistant versions of ancillary equipment can be used than they could previously be attached to the carrying handle, since the height of the mounting rail over the weapon can be much lower.
Das in die Montageschiene versenkbare Visier kann ein offenes Visier sein, wie es von Jagdgewehren und den meisten Militärgewehren des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts her bekannt ist. Es ist jedoch bevorzugt, daß das Visier ein Dioptervisier ist.The retractable visor in the mounting rail can be an open visor, as it is known from hunting rifles and most military rifles of the early 20th century ago. However, it is preferred that the visor is a sight sight.
Dieses ist zwar in Lichtstärke und Unempfindlichkeit gegenüber Schmutz und Nässe dem offenen Visier unterlegen, aber hat ganz bedeutende Vorteile, was die Akkomodationsfähigkeit des Auges und die Erfahrung des Schützen angeht. Besonders bevorzugt ist jedoch, daß dieses Dioptervisier nahe am Auge des Schützen angeordnet sein kann, so daß die Länge der Montageschiene für das Standardvisier voll ausgenutzt werden kann. Die Montageschiene sollte nämlich, um auch keine optische Visiere aller Art zuzulassen, möglichst nahe bis unter das Auge des Schützen herangeführt werden können.Although this is inferior in light intensity and insensitivity to dirt and moisture to the open visor, but has quite significant advantages in terms of the accommodation ability of the eye and the experience of the shooter. However, it is particularly preferred that this Dioptervisier can be located close to the eye of the shooter, so that the length of the mounting rail for the standard sight can be fully utilized. Namely, the mounting rail should be able to be brought as close as possible under the eye of the shooter in order not to admit any optical visors of all kinds.
Wenn die Montageschiene auf einer Handfeuerwaffe montiert ist, besonders auf einem Schnellfeuergewehr, dann ist sie in Hoch- und Querrichtung festgelegt, weist aber in Längsrichtung gewissermaßen ein Loslager auf, um Toleranzen, Wärmedehnungen o. dgl. der Waffe aufzunehmen, ohne daß Spannungen erzeugt werden. Daher kann die Montageschiene auch eine beträchtliche Länge aufweisen, verglichen mit üblichen, militärischen Aufschubmontagen. Die Lagepräzision, bezogen auf die Visieranordnung, wird hierdurch noch verbessert.If the mounting rail is mounted on a handgun, especially on a rapid-fire rifle, then it is set in the vertical and transverse directions, but in a sense has a floating bearing in the longitudinal direction to tolerances, thermal expansions o. The like. Take the weapon without tensions are generated , Therefore, the mounting rail can also have a considerable length compared to conventional, military Aufschubmontagen. The positional precision, based on the sighting arrangement, is thereby further improved.
Daher wird erfindungsgemäß weiter vorgeschlagen, daß die Korn- und/oder die Visieranordnung der Montageschiene in der Seitenlage justierbar ist, um das Standardvisier an jede Waffe individuell und möglichst genau anzupassen.Therefore, the invention further proposes that the grain and / or the visor assembly of the mounting rail is adjustable in the lateral position to customize the standard visor to each weapon individually and as accurately as possible.
Wenn die Montageschiene für ein Schnellfeuergewehr zusammen mit diesem verwahrt wird, ist es auch möglich, die Montageschiene je nach Wahl und Situation gegen den Tragegriff auszutauschen, ohne daß es notwendig wäre, das jeweilige Standardvisier neu einzuschießen.If the mounting rail for a rapid-fire rifle is stored together with this, it is also possible to replace the mounting rail depending on your choice and situation against the handle, without it being necessary to re-shoot the respective standard visor.
Natürlich ist es oft der Fall, daß mehrere Zusatzeinrichtungen an einer Waffe angebracht werden, wie etwa ein Infrarot-Nachtzielgerät und der dazugehörige Scheinwerfer. Bisher war es meist üblich, diese Geräte übereinander liegend anzuordnen, was zu erheblichen Bauhöhen für die ausgestattete Waffe führte.Of course, it is often the case that several ancillary devices are attached to a weapon, such as such as an infrared night aiming device and the associated headlights. So far, it was usually common to arrange these devices lying on top of each other, which led to considerable heights for the weapon equipped.
Erfindungsgemäß wird daher vorgeschlagen, daß seitlich und abgewinkelt mindestens eine zweite Montageschiene, die sich zur genannten Montageschiene parallel erstreckt, anbringbar ist. Es werden daher die Zusatzeinrichtungen kranzartig rund um die Waffe angeordnet, die daher kompakter wird. Durch Anbringen der zweiten Montageschiene(n) an der Rückseite der ersten Montageschiene ist es auch möglich, mehrere Sichteinrichtungen anzuordnen, die im Bereich des Auges des Schützen liegen.According to the invention it is therefore proposed that laterally and angled at least one second mounting rail, which extends parallel to said mounting rail, can be attached. Therefore, the additional devices are arranged like a wreath around the weapon, which therefore becomes more compact. By attaching the second mounting rail (s) on the back of the first mounting rail, it is also possible to arrange a plurality of visual devices that are in the range of the eye of the shooter.
Soweit keine sonstigen Einrichtungen der Waffe gestört werden, ist es möglich, die Montageschiene aus der Waffe herauszuarbeiten oder unmittelbar auf die Waffe aufzusetzen. Im allgemeinen wird jedoch bevorzugt, daß an der Vorder- und Rückseite der Montageschiene je eine Halterung zur Anbringung an der Handfeuerwaffe bzw. dem Schnellfeuergewehr angebracht ist.As far as no other means of the weapon are disturbed, it is possible to work out the mounting rail from the weapon or put it directly on the weapon. In general, however, it is preferred that a holder for attachment to the handgun or the rapid-fire rifle is attached to the front and back of the mounting rail.
Dies hat den unerwarteten Vorteil, daß die einzelnen Halterungen wie ein Festlager und ein Loslager ausgebildet sein können, wie es etwa bei einer Stahlbrücke vorliegt, so daß relative Wärmedehnungen zwischen Waffe und Montageschiene zugelassen werden und auf diese keine Auswirkung haben.This has the unexpected advantage that the individual brackets can be designed as a fixed bearing and a movable bearing, as is the case with a steel bridge, so that relative thermal expansion between the gun and mounting rail are permitted and have no effect on them.
