Reloading device for firearms, especially for short handguns

The invention relates to a device by means of which simultaneously the reloading of a firearm, in particular a short handgun, with a large number of cartridges in a weapon-proof, drum-like housing, the circumference of which can be opened in an approximately diagonal parting line, and the device consists essentially of a disk-shaped body, in its longitudinal axis one to the number of to be accommodated Cartridges corresponding number of circumferentially arranged holes is provided.

In German Patent No. .1 ... (patent application P 23 19 936.2) was already a method for Reloading a firearm, in particular a short handgun, described with preferably sleeve-less cartridges, which i The following can be stored: After opening and opening the magazine housing and after opening one of the weapon independent container and removing its two closure lids is stored in the container, the Hold and locate a wide variety of caseless cartridges serving, disc-like body removed and attached to the open magazine housing. Then be by means of a container cover designed accordingly for this purpose, all cartridges in the disk-shaped body are accommodated and fixed at the same time pushed into the cartridge chamber or combustion chamber of the weapon. So that the weapon is ready for use again, after the closing movement has been completed, the opened part of the magazine with the fixed part corresponding to it locked.

As has already been shown, both the charging method described and the method for carrying out this method are used required, closable container with two lids extremely simple. Both the disk-like body and its lids are designed as so-called "disposable parts", They are also made of plastic and are therefore relative cheap to manufacture.

It has been shown that the advantages of the charging method described, as well as the advantages of the associated Device when using caseless ammunition stand out particularly clearly. Since such ammunition, however is not applicable to all handguns, the present invention has set itself the task of not only applying the proposed loading device in principle to make other types of ammunition applicable, but also to point out new ways for short-barreled handguns suitable ammunition in combination with specific material and geometrical properties of the disk-like

Body, so the reloading device to create. This object is achieved according to the invention in that

and forward through a projectile as well as through a self;

The sleeve, socket or the like extending concentrically around the projectile is completed, which when fired causes a seal between the gun barrel and cartridge chamber.

In an advantageous embodiment of this inventive concept it is provided that each of the cartridge case-like bores at the end facing away from the bottom exit side via an ignition channel with an in the plan-

surface of the disc-shaped body or embedded primer. The like. Connects.

Another feature of the proposed invention is that both the disk-like body as' the sleeves, sockets or the like are also made of plastic.

Finally, the proposed invention is rounded off and perfected by the fact that both the Disc-like body and the sleeves, sockets or the like are intended for single use and are dimensioned and designed accordingly in terms of strength.

Without further ado it is plausible and convincing that with the proposed invention incorporates a number of significant advantages:

The disc-shaped body made of a suitable plastic not only serves to accommodate a large number of cartridges distributed around the circumference, but also forms, with its various bores arranged in the longitudinal axis of the weapon, in the manner of cartridge cases to accommodate the projectile propellant charges. The dem

The disk-shaped body thus simultaneously forms a large number of cartridge cases in one piece. To the front, the bores receiving the propellant charges are equally through each projectile as well as through one arranged concentrically around the floors Sleeve, socket or the like. Completed. These pods Bushings or the like, also made of suitable plastic produced, ensure a sufficiently large seal against the gun barrel (s) when fired.

The simple structure of this "multiple cartridge" alone shows an advantage that cannot be overlooked, the advantages are by no means exhausted by themselves here in:

The disk-shaped body can be relatively easily manufactured as a "multiple cartridge", packaged, stacking and logistically supplying the troops. Due to the known fact that cartridge case material, for example Brass, which is expensive and rare, represents the use of plastic for the essential parts of the "multiple cartridge" an extremely cheap and advantageous solution, since such a material is practically unlimited for use

fortune stands. 409881/0605

It goes without saying that reloading such a “multiple cartridge” into a handgun is extremely simple, in that, after its packaging has been removed, it is simply inserted into the opened, weapon-proof and drum-like manner trained housing needs to be inserted. When the weapon is empty, after opening the drum-like housing, the disc-shaped body is extended and thrown away.

Finally, it also has an extremely advantageous effect that the powder soles produced by the combustion of the propellant charge powder during firing are in the bores of the disc-shaped body is caught, and the weapon itself remains largely free of powder slime.

In the drawing, the invention is shown using an exemplary embodiment. It shows

A handgun, which is only indicated schematically and designated in its entirety by 1, has three to- ', mutually parallel tubes 2, 2a, 2b are provided. At the end of these tubes one essentially excludes the parts 3, 3a existing drum-like housing, which can be opened by means of a lock, not shown, for example along the dividing joint 3b.

A disk-shaped body 4 made of plastic is provided with a multiplicity of bores 4a that are distributed around the circumference and are axially parallel to one another. About on the bores 4a are each provided with a propellant charge 5 for half of their length. About the ignition channels 4b are the propellant charges 5 with primer caps or the like 6 connected, which are distributed according to the circumference in the plane surface 4c of the body 4 have their arrangement. In the axial direction, the propellant charges 5 adjoin the bores 4a Storeys 7 on. Sleeves, sockets or the like 8 extend around the projectiles 7 in a concentric arrangement. Together with the projectiles 7, these have the task of closing off the propellant charges 5, the projectiles to center and finally when firing a seal between the gun barrels 2, 2a or 2b and the duroh the to ensure cartridge chamber provided in the disk-shaped body 4 in the form of the bores 4a.

The empty weapon 1 becomes part 3a, which also carries the piston - not shown - unlocked from part 3 of the drum-like housing and folded down (Fig. 1). The disc-shaped body 4 removed from its packaging is now in the weapon-fixed part 3 of the drum-like housing pushed in or inserted. Here, the webs 3a couple with the corresponding formed recesses 4d of the disc-shaped body

After the insertion or insertion process has been completed, the part 3a of the drum-like housing, which has been folded down in the manner described above, is folded back onto the part 3 fixed to the weapon and locked. ; <
