Abstract

Vorgeschlagen wird, einen Verschluss (4) oder Verschlussträger (5) durch einen vertikal zum Verschluss (4) verschiebbaren keilartigen Block (6) zu unterstellen und damit zu verriegeln, sodass ein Formschluss zwischen Waffengehäuse (10) und dem Verschluss (4) bzw. Verschlussträger (5) hergestellt wird. Der blockartig ausgeführte Verriegelungsschieber (6) besitzt wenigstens einen nasenartigen Fortsatz (7), mit dem der Verriegelungsschieber (6) in eine passende Ausnehmung (8) des Verschlusses (4) bzw. Verschlussträgers (5) formschlüssig eingreifen kann. Die Verschlussbewegung wird durch einen zum Waffengehäuse (10) (längs-) beweglichen Schieber (11) realisiert und gesteuert, in den die für die Stillstandzeiten zum Verschließen des Verschlusses (4), für das Schussauslösen, für das Öffnen des Verschlusses (4) sowie das Vorlegen einer Patrone (21) vor den Verschluss (4) benötigten Zeiten in Form von Kulissen bzw. Kurven (12) eingebunden sind. Die für die Verschlussbewegung verantwortliche Kulisse (12) wirkt dabei mit wenigstens einer feststehenden Kurve (14), beispielsweise eingebunden im Waffengehäuse (10), funktional zusammen. Eine weitere, mit den Verschiebekulissen zusammenwirkende Kulisse (13) dient zum horizontalen Verstellen des Verriegelungsschiebers (6).

Figure imgaf001
It is proposed to place a closure (4) or closure carrier (5) by a vertical to the closure (4) displaceable wedge-like block (6) and lock it so that a positive connection between the weapon housing (10) and the closure (4) or Lock carrier (5) is produced. The block-like executed locking slide (6) has at least one nose-like projection (7), with which the locking slide (6) in a matching recess (8) of the closure (4) or closure carrier (5) can engage positively. The shutter movement is realized and controlled by a to the weapon housing (10) (longitudinally) movable slide (11), in which for the downtime for closing the shutter (4), for firing the shot, for opening the shutter (4) and the presentation of a cartridge (21) before the shutter (4) required times in the form of scenes or curves (12) are involved. The responsible for the shutter movement gate (12) acts with at least one fixed curve (14), for example, integrated in the weapon housing (10), functionally together. Another, with the Verschiebekulissen cooperating gate (13) is used for horizontal adjustment of the locking slide (6).
