Definitions

  • the invention relates to a mounting device, which forms an interface between a device, in particular a weapon, and an attachment, with two or more substantially parallel, spaced pin and two or more holes as receptacles for these, which are each equipped with an undercut, and with a locking device which is spring-loaded with a spring and which is assigned to one of the pins and has a handle; in which the undercuts of two bores are formed either at their sides facing away from each other and / or on the sides facing each other, the undercuts of the bores are chamfered, carry the pins compatible with the beveled undercuts formed heads, and one of the pins by means of the handle is rotatable woebi the head of this pin only on one side over this radially overhangs. (Preamble of claim 1).
  • a military riflescope assembly (the sniper rifle of the former GDR), in which two pins are attached to the scope, while the rifle in front of and behind the closure each have a pin receptacle is provided.
  • the front pin With the telescope held transversely to the axis of the soul, the front pin is placed in its receptacle, and then the scope is rotated by 90 ° until it is parallel to the axis of the soul. In this case, engages under a projection of the front pin an undercut in the front receptacle, and the rear pin engages laterally in the rear receptacle.
  • the riflescope is pivoted again by 90 ° and can then be lifted from the front intake.
  • the generic DE 94 06 408 U which forms a basis for claim 1, shows a mounting device for a riflescope, in which the pivotable with a pivot pin is mounted without play by a centering countersunk screw and a resilient wave washer to the mounting device.
  • the US 4,205,473 A also shows a riflescope mounting, in which the rotatable pin is fixed by means of a turning screw.
  • the mounting device is especially designed for the attachment of attachments on a weapon, But it can also serve for positionally accurate and separable assembly of devices of all kinds.
  • Attachment is preferably understood to mean a battlefield computer, target optics or target electronics (e.g., riflescope, night aiming device, laser aiming device) or a second weapon (e.g., mounted grenade launcher, rapid-fire rifle).
  • target optics or target electronics e.g., riflescope, night aiming device, laser aiming device
  • second weapon e.g., mounted grenade launcher, rapid-fire rifle.
  • a beveled undercut is understood to mean an increase in the bore diameter present on the outside mouth of the bore, the term "beveled” describing a generally continuous transition (conical, parabolic, hyperbolic, domed or otherwise) from the inside to outside mouth ,
  • handle is meant an actuator for applying force, such as a lever, but it may also be a servo motor or the like.
  • head is meant a radial end projection of the pin. However, it may extend in a special case, the pin over the head.
  • the two holes are preferably formed on the device or associated with this, preferably a weapon (usually a handgun), while the pins are assigned to the attachment, as well as the one of the pins associated with the handle.
  • the holes preferably have a center distance that is smaller than the center distance of the pins (whose heads are disregarded). It is not necessary that the pins are placed in the direction of their axes in the holes. Rather, it is preferred that the mutual center distance of the holes and the the pin does not match, but is tuned so that the axial distance of the pin is a little larger than that of the holes: so first, the rigid pin is inserted obliquely into the associated hole and hooked with the head behind the undercut. For this purpose, the bore must be large enough to let the head of the pin when it is slightly tilted pass.
  • the movable pin is rotated by the handle and runs against the chamfer of the undercut.
  • the rigid pin presses with his head firmly against the undercut of the associated hole.
  • the handle of the movable pin is moved axially against the force of the spring, because his head could not otherwise be twisted otherwise: the head, which rests firmly against the undercut, now runs along their bevel outward and is to to be able to do this, moved axially against the force of the spring. He dips with continued rotation possibly something in its associated hole until it has reached its end position.
  • the term “compatible” means that the undercut and the head must be designed so that the movement of the pin just described is possible.
  • the beveled surfaces at the undercut and the head are complementary or, as will be described later, even better “nearly complementary” formed.
  • the surfaces around the pins complementary to the surfaces around the holes, for example in the form of planar, perpendicular to the respective axes surfaces.
  • the mounting device according to the invention is adapted to accommodate significant tolerances, in contrast to known pin assemblies that had to be tuned to the finest. For this reason, the mounting device according to the invention is particularly suitable for a variety of attachments and ensures their safe placement.
  • the associated bores can be formed even in a thin-walled housing of a weapon, since the holes are pulled apart with mounted attachment.
  • a sheet metal wall, which runs straight between the holes, can absorb very large forces between these two holes without deforming.
  • Both holes can be symmetrical to each other, ie by means of the same tools. So a cheapening of the production is possible.
  • the heads can sit flat in the undercuts. So it is ensured that the inter-engaging surfaces wear as little as possible. However, it requires a great manufacturing accuracy, as well as embarrassing cleanliness. In particular, the complementary mating surfaces must not exhibit any corrosion or contamination.
  • the heads rest on the undercuts each along two abutment lines.
  • the pin with his head is theoretically at the undercut only in two-line contact, which ensures best reproducibility of the position of the pin relative to the bore.
  • the bore has a circular circumference which is interrupted by an outwardly extending arc of smaller radius.
  • the transition from the circle with the larger radius in the circular arc with a smaller radius is in each case theoretically in an edge.
  • Each edge can be broken by a tangent to both circles.
  • the wrap angle of the circle section with the larger radius is larger (eg 240 °) than the wrap angle of the circle section with the smaller radius (this is eg 120 °).
  • the pin has a circular cross-section, and the head also.
  • the radius of the pin is slightly smaller than the larger radius of the hole, and significantly larger than the smaller radius of the hole. Both radii of pin and head have the same center, and the radius of the head must be larger.
  • the head extends over an angular range which is dimensioned such that, on the one hand with locked attachment two nearly parallel axes abutment lines of the head can form on the bevelled undercut and on the other hand, the head for mounting the attachment to the device in the circular portion of the bore with the larger radius (eg the angular range is about 60 °).
  • the head When the mounting device is fully assembled, the head is fixed in the radial direction in the undercut, along the above-mentioned edges; in practice along two narrow contact strips transverse to the above-mentioned tangents.
  • the pins can be attached to the attachment individually, z. B. by means of two separate rings on a telescopic sight. However, this must then withstand the considerable forces applied to the pins after assembly (in this case compressive forces).
  • the pins in a single, sitting separate component.
  • This component can be made of steel, aluminum, a carbon fiber composite material, etc. and intended for attachment to an attachment. In any case, it has a rigid component, in which the two pins are inserted, and despite the forces acting on the pins is stable enough not to deform.
  • the respective attachment needs to be able to carry only this component, but does not have to absorb any forces, apart from its own mass forces. It is also readily possible to complete existing implements by mounting the said attachment.
  • the separate component may well be specially shaped, such as a cylindrical trough, in which the housing of a rifle scope can be glued.
  • the holes may be formed approximately in the housing of a rapid-fire rifle, the sheet is crimped around the holes to form the undercuts. However, it is preferred that the holes sit in a single, separate component.
  • the carrier which connects the two holes, the resulting tensile forces. If such a carrier, such as a steel strip, placed on the housing of a weapon, welded about, then the housing wall closes the bottom (side of the undercuts) of the holes, so that at most can accumulate in this dirt, but not in the mechanism of the rifle can penetrate.
  • the holes of the component are closed on the side of the undercuts at least after assembly of the component. It can be about a sheet on the component be placed, which closes the holes. In this way it is avoided that moisture threatens a corrosion-prone housing.
  • the holes may be open towards the inside of the housing (since, for example, optics are always mounted on the rifle in the operating state and thus close the bores to the outside), which has the advantage of easier cleaning of the bores.
  • the component anyway requires at least one anchoring point which is in fixed position assignment to the barrel of the weapon.
  • the cover of the holes avoids that dirt or sand, which has got into the holes, is pressed by the pins in the plastic housing wall.
  • the movable pin can be easily guided in its rotation and translation movement in a transitional bore. It is also possible to use in this hole a lining of bearing metal o. The like. To facilitate the movement, without one would have to accept a game in purchasing.
  • the attachment two supports preferably in the form of two fork branches, for guiding the movable pin, such that the pin at mounted attachment in each support along two substantially paraxial bearing surfaces rests, wherein the two investment lines of the device facing support are each offset by substantially 180 ° to both the two investment lines of the device facing away from the support and on the other hand, the two investment lines at the undercuts in the Drilling.
  • the head is preferably seated on two investment lines, while the pin is also supported on the opposite side on two investment lines, which are located in the hole in one of the two fork branches. These two investment lines in turn are opposite to the aforementioned two other investment lines in the bore of the other fork branch. It is thus made a strictly defined position of the pin when it engages in the associated undercut.
  • the movable pin retracts against the action of the spring an axial distance.
  • the spring must be designed so that it preserves the seat of the mounting device, even if it should be exposed to considerable mass forces. This can lead to considerable difficulties, especially as the case is conceivable that the head of the pin does not dive far enough into the associated bore, so that the head of the pin can run along the undercut.
  • the spring is biased and is released during the rotation of the pin only when the head of the associated pin is already partially over the undercut of the associated bore.
  • the pin is therefore always in a position in which it is already loaded so far from the spring that he basically has to carry out little or no axial movement during rotation. However, the spring is released towards the end of the rotation, so that under all circumstances a sufficient contact force of the spring is ensured.
  • the handle could be a lever which is simply mounted radially projecting on the movable pin.
  • the solution is preferred with the protruding lever from the pin, however, developed to the effect that, with radially mounted on the handle handle, the lever rests on a running in a radial plane guide over most of its pivotal movement, which only in the end of the pivoting movement, when the head over the undercut is located, is omitted. It is thus provided a simple arrangement to ensure that the pin is full and unhindered acted upon by the spring, shortly before he has reached its end position.
  • the pivotal range of the movable pin is about 180 °.
  • the fixation can be done with permanent attachment, for example by a screw that determines the handle.
  • the fixation is designed as a latching device.
  • the locking device may be a sprung pawl.
  • the latching device is formed as a notch on the component carrying the pin, in which the slightly resilient and / or loaded by the spring handle is incident. Since the handle must overcome considerable forces during rotation of the pin, it must have a considerable length and thus could be resiliently deformable. But also the associated pin takes only by the spring action its end position, so that the handle firmly connected to this pin then, if it is exposed to the full effect of the spring to perform a sprung transverse movement is capable. In any case, such a notch has proven that it holds the handle by means of spring forces in their position, but does not require its own component.
  • the spring could be a powerful coil spring, such as the valve spring of an internal combustion engine. It is preferred that the spring is designed such that it can provide a large spring force in a small space.
  • Such springs may be a cup spring bundle, a coil spring, a plate spring, etc.
  • disc springs can be tuned due to their special characteristics so that when the handle falls into its final position, the spring constant increases.
  • the spring is formed integrally with the associated pin and is preferably formed in the form of a slotted pin or tube.
  • the spring bundle or the spring is thus a captive part of the pin and does not require its own component.
  • the holes are formed in a Picatinny rail or other common for weapons interface, whereby the user advantageously has both mounting options alternatively or in parallel.
  • the attachment comprises a Picatinny rail or other common weapon interface, whereby, for example, only “Picatinny” attachable “old” attachments can be attached to the weapon or, for example, worn (made of very light or cheap material) Picatinny Rails can be replaced very quickly.
  • FIGS. 1 to 5 show the first embodiment.

  • the weapon-side component 1 has a planar mounting surface 5 and is penetrated by two holes 7, 9, which are perpendicular to this surface and thus parallel to each other. These holes 7, 9 have a non-circular portion and are the same, but mutually mirrored.
  • Each bore 7, 9 has a cylindrical portion 11 of radius R (not shown) which is flared by an axially parallel off-center portion 13 having a radius r (not shown). Where R> r. Both bore sections 11, 13 are connected by tangential surfaces 17 which enclose an angle in the direction of the section 13, preferably of approximately 30 ° (to the central axis). The smaller bore portions 13 are respectively on the side of the bore portion 11, which are remote from each other. The holes are thus symmetrical to each other.
  • the observer facing bottom of the holes 7, 9 may be covered.
  • the attachment-side component 3 has a rigid pin 19 and an axially movable and rotatable pin 21. Both pins 19, 21 are substantially parallel to each other.
  • Each pin 19, 21 has a shaft 27, 29, and at its free end a head 23, 25.

  • the head 23 extends as a truncated cone whose cone angle corresponds to the conical countersinking of the bore 7, 9. The head 23 widens, starting from the lower (the viewer facing) end of the pin 19.
  • the head 25 of the movable pin 21 has the same geometric configuration as the head 23 of the rigid pin 19, but it is still milled on the edge, along two planes, each containing a generatrix of the pin 21 and each other at an angle of 90 ° lock in. This angle is rounded along the circumference of the pin 21.

  • the distance between the holes 7, 9 does not correspond to the distance between the pins 19, 21, but is a little smaller. But since the head 25 reaches its final position, he has a little on the viewer of the Fig. 1 to move. This is done by compressing the plate spring package 33rd
