Description




TECHNICAL FIELD




The invention refers that when firing does not deviate from the sight line in vertical direction, that shall be applied, either as a means of self-defense, or as a hand-held fire weapon for sports, military and hunting firing,




PRIOR ART




When firing with pistols—representatives of the well-known systems of hand-held smallarms, it is found shifting of the barrel “upwards”, because of the following:




When firing with pistols from the well-known systems, there are reaction forces created (the so-called recoil), directed “backwards” along the bore line of the weapon, as these forces create a torque round the weapon support point and as a result the front end of the barrel jumps “upwards”. The reason causing the motion is the disposition of the bore line above the place of weapon retaining, i. e. above the support point.




This effect is obtained when firing with pistols, one-charge and many-charge non-automatic hand-held weapons and is the reason for their basic disadvantage—the low rate of fire accuracy. (1)/“Reference Book of Smallarms”, A. B. Zhuk/




At automatic self-loading weapons, the deviation from the sight line, when firing, is accelerated due to the motion of bolt parts, as the change in location of weight centres of elements of the weapon at high speeds creates inertia forces and moments additionally that aggravate accuracy.




In order to overcome the action of inertia forces during fire at this type of weapons, extra measures are taken as: corrections in sighting devices; mounting muzzle compensators, balances and retarders of fire rate; introducing disconnectors and buffers.




A disadvantage of automatic pistols is the complicated design that leads to difficulties in their handling. (2)/“Reference Book of Smallarms”, A. B. Zhuk/




There are pistols known where the barrel axis is guided to the weapon support point (the firer's palm) and it is avoided bouncing the pistol “upwards”. (3)/U.S. Pat. No. 4 268 987 and pistols “Tourbean” 1883 and “Protector” 1882/ “Reference Book of Smallarms”, A. B. Zhuk//




Disadvantages of these pistols are: the complicated design that hampers usage, reloading, reduces reliability, requires special ammunition; bad ergonomics and low effectiveness of firing.




It is known a sports pistol of T-shaped location of grip and barrel, consisting of a casing provided with a grip, a barrel, a trigger located above the barrel within the zone between the muzzle rear end and the grip, a bolt, a striker, a fire spring and a magazine. (4)/History of Tula Military Plant/




Disadvantages of this pistol are the risen overalls and its complex design that make its handling difficult




The famous sports pistol can not be regarded as an analogue of the present invention, as it is provided with special devices ensuring improved aiming fire that complicates its design and makes it importable.




It is known a pistol consisting of a casing, a barrel, a trigger, a striker, a fire spring and a magazine, the casing and the barrel being located in a heat-insulating grip and forming a T-shape connection by means of a dismountable multi-element clamp provided with a trigger mounted on it and situated above the bore line of the barrel within the zone between the front and the rear muzzle ends connected with the feeding mechanism consisting of a feeding lever, a feeding pawl being fixed on its opposite end by means of a trigger mechanism consisting of a transfer bar geared into a striker lever provided with a cog so that the casing is provided with an inner bore of rectangular cross-section and set inside it a magazine provided with a cartridge nests set in a row and saw-like cogs set along the height of the side neighbour walls just before the rear wall of the magazine and fixing grooves located along the axes direction of cartridge nests so that the number of saw-like cogs situated on each of the neighbour walls of the magazine corresponds to the number of cartridge nests, the casing being closed from above and a striker, a fire-spring, an upper stop and a lower stop being fastened to its rear wall and a profile opening. (5))/FR-A-550 415/




The disadvantages of this pistol are the complicated design which includes a multi-element clamp connecting the barrel with casing upper end, the indirect connection between the trigger and the feeding mechanism by means of the trigger mechanism the result being a difficult use and reloading, a decreased reliability and a low fire efficiency. The ergonomics and the heat insulation of the grip are not reliable enough witch determine the insufficient fire accuracy.




The goal of this invention is to be created a portable pistol for self-protection of T-shaped disposition of the barrel and the casing, reduced weight and overalls of the weapon, high accuracy of fire and convenient handling.

/




Handling is carried out in the following way:




After filling the magazine


15


with cartridges in the cartridge nests


15


, it is proceeded with the pistol loading. To this end, the filled magazine


14


is inserted into the grip


3


through the lower opening of the inner bore


13


from the bottom to the top till the moment the first from the saw-like cogs


16


, located along the right neighbour wall, contacts the short arm


24


of the V-shape upper stop


20


. At the same time the lower stop


21


situated on the opposite wall locks it in this position so that the top most cartridge is set under the bore line. Through the profile opening


22


in the rear wall of the casing


1


, the feeding pawl


12


is facing the saw-like cogs


16


of the magazine


14


.




Pulling the trigger


5


brings simultaneously to rotating the striker


18


“backwards” round its axis set under the bore line, through the action of the transfer bar


8


that draws out the striker lever


9


upwards, the cog


10


pushes the long arm


25


of the upper stop


20


“backwards” and takes out the short arm


24


from gearing with the magazine


14


.




From the other end the feeding pawl


12


starts gearing with the fixing grooves


17


of the magazine


14


and drawing it upwards sliding along the vertical edge of the profile opening


22


. When the feeding pawl


12


contacts with the upper edge of the profile opening


22


, it changes the motion direction into, “forward” locking the magazine


14


to the casing


1


. Besides, the first cartridge has been fed against the barrel


2


. At the same time the transfer bar


7


releases the striker lever


9


and through the action of the fire spring


19


, the striker


18


hits the cartridge primer and takes a shot.




Through the action of the spring


66


depressing its upper end, the upper stop


20


enters over the subsequent saw-like cog


16


of the magazine


14


along with the striker


18


, as its short arm


24


gears with the saw-like cogs


16


of the magazine


14


and its long arm


25


remains behind the cog


10


of the striker lever


9


and the lower stop


21


has already missed one saw-like cog


16


and is geared under the next one. Releasing the trigger


5


, which is under-spring, brings to going out of the feeding pawl


12


from the fixing groove


17


of the magazine


14


and reversing in home position. The transfer bar


7


moves downward till the cog


10


gears again with the striker lever


9


. So, the pistol is ready for the next shot. After firing the cartridges from the magazine


14


or upon other necessity, the lower end of the lower stop


21


is pushed forward, so that its lower under-spring end is below the level of the grip


3


and the magazine


14


goes out through the action of its own weight. Afterwards the pistol is loaded with a second filled up magazine


14


or the cases of the magazine already taken out are replaced with cartridges.




When using the pistol, subject of the present invention, of design described in Example

with cartridges, it is proceeded with pistol loading. To this end the filled magazine


47


is thrust into the grip


3


through the lower opening of the inner bore


13


down-up till the moment when the closing cover


49


fixes to the casing


1


by means of the S-shaped latch


59


, so that the upper cartridge is clamped to the outer surface of the barrel


2


within the thickened zone. After that the grip


39


of the cover


54


is withdrawn backwards till stoppage. By the kinematics chain, the cover


54


, the cradle


55


, the guiding pawl


65


and the cross groove


53


, the barrel


2


is pushed forward depressing the spiral recoil spring


50


. The upper cartridge is pushed upwards by the pushing spring


48


of the magazine


47


till its rim enters the ejector


57


. When releasing the grip


39


of the cover


54


, through the action of the spiral recoil spring


50


, the barrel


2


reverses backwards and thrusts onto the fed cartridge. The cover


54


also returns back and closes from above the inner bore


13


of the casing operating as a case outlet. The pistol is ready for fire, as the first cartridge has been introduced into the barrel


2


.




Pulling the trigger


5


cocks the striker


18


by means of the transfer bar


8


, afterwards it releases the striker lever


9


and through the action of the fire spring


19


, the striker


18


hits the cartridge primer and fires.




When firing, the bullet sets forth into the barrel and the friction forces affect it. The barrel shifts forward, as moves simultaneously linear and rotary motion round its axis and as a result of sliding the cogs


61


along the guiding grooves


52


, slant longitudinally towards the bore line. Shifting forward, the barrel


2


goes out of the case scope, opens the cover


54


and folds the spiral recoil spring


50


. When reaching front extreme position, the end of the cradle


55


, moving backward, hits the upper end of the deflector


56


, so that the pawl


58


knocks out the case from the ejector


57


and it flies upwards through the case outlet. At the same time the unoccupied place has been taken from the next cartridge, so that the barrel


2


, returned back by the spiral recoil spring


50


, is thrust onto it. After releasing the trigger


5


, the pistol is ready for the next firing. Reloading is carried out, as the S-shaped latch


59


is pressed backward, so that the emptied magazine


14


is taken out and replaced with a newly-filled one.



Claims
  • 1. A weapon including:a heat-insulating grip; a magazine having cartridge nests set in a row and saw-like cogs set along the height of side neighbor walls before a rear wall of said magazine; a casing located in said heat-insulating grip, said casing including an inner bore of rectangular cross-section and closed from above, said magazine, fixing grooves located along axes direction of cartridge nests so that the number of saw-like cogs situated on each of said neighbor walls of said magazine corresponds to the number of said cartridge nests, and a striker, a firespring, an upper stop and a lower stop being fastened to a rear wall of said casing and a profile opening; a barrel having a bore line and located in said heat-insulating grip, said casing and said barrel forming a T-shape connection; a trigger mounted on said dismountable multi-element clamp and attached to a trigger mechanism including a transfer bar geared into said striker lever; a feeding mechanism having a feeding lever and a feeding pawl being fixed on its opposite end by means of said trigger mechanism; a dismountable multi-element clamp situated above said bore line of said barrel within a zone between a front and a rear muzzle ends and connected with said feeding mechanism; a striker including a striker lever having a cog; and, a means for moving said magazine in a step-like way behind said barrel to minimize recoil of said weapon when firing said weapon.
  • 2. A weapon according to claim 1 wherein said heat-insulating grip comprises a heat-insulating polymer.
  • 3. A weapon of claim 1, wherein said means for moving said magazine includes a direct connection between said trigger and said feeding mechanism.
  • 4. A weapon of claim 3, wherein said direct connection between said trigger and said feeding mechanism includes moving said magazine through an action of a trigger pull, wherein a clamp is integral and connects the upper part of said casing with a front end of said barrel, said trigger being connected with both said trigger mechanism and said feeding mechanism, said fixing grooves of said magazine being located along axes direction of said cartridge nests between highest and lowest points along a height of said cogs, said striker being a circular sector of a circle with a fire pin in one of arc ends with an opening in a center of said circle situated below said bore line so that a point of said fire pin coincides with said bore line and said fire spring is connected with said arc end opposite said fire pin, said upper stop in a reverse “Y” configuration provided with a short arm and a long arm and being situated above said bore line, said lower stop being situated below said striker pin so that a lower under-spring end of said lower stop is below the level of said heat-insulating grip.
