Description

This invention relates to firearms and can be used in different types of small arms, for example, pistols, submachine guns, automatic rifles, rifles, and machine guns.


The percussion trigger mechanism is known from the prior art (Patent UA No. 47344, IPC F41A 19/00, publ. Sep. 15, 2006, bull. No. 9), which comprises: a firing percussion with a cock platform, firing pin and platform for keeping the latter at a distance outside contact with the cartridge capsule, the safety catch of the firing percussion with the spring, action spring, focus of the action spring, trigger, trigger bar, protrusions of the trigger bar for interacting with the firing pin safety, with the trigger cut-out of the bolt and with the cocking piece of the firing percussion, trigger return mechanism, with cocking piece in use the traveling position with the trigger mechanism spring, the surface of the frame and the trigger bar providing the possibility of vertical and longitudinal movement of the latter, sear with the spring and the mechanism of safe trigger of the firing pin, in which the protrusions are made to stop the firing percussion and safe trigger. To increase the convenience and accuracy of firing, the percussion trigger mechanism of the pistol is additionally equipped with a transmission lever, and a cocking piece protrusion is made on the trigger bar. The transmission lever is installed with the possibility of interaction with the sear, the cocking piece protrusion of the trigger bar and the protrusion of the safe trigger. The sear is installed with the possibility to hold the firing percussion in a fully cocked position.


The disadvantage of said mechanism is that it does not allow, when firing from a weapon, to know about the state of the cocking piece, especially at night, and does not provide visual and tactile determination of the status of the cocking piece.


It is known in the prior art the cocking piece assembly for the percussion trigger mechanism of weapons according to the bull-pup scheme (Patent RU No. 2525464, IPC F41A19/06, F41A19/10, F41C7/00, published on Aug. 20, 2014), containing the trigger, according to the bull-pup scheme connected with a longitudinal rod located inside the receiver with a standard trigger, in which the rod is Z-shaped and placed to the left of the vertical plane passing through the longitudinal axis of the weapon under the power bridge and above the auto-trigger axis and the axis of the barrel trigger housing.


The disadvantage is the complexity of the design when converting a standard percussion trigger mechanism for use in weapons built according to the bull-pup scheme. In addition—an inconvenient disassembly and assembly of the percussion trigger mechanism of this type, as the removal of four axes is required.


It is known in the prior art the percussion trigger mechanism of automatic small arms (Patent RU No. 2472093, IPC F41A19/00, published Jan. 10, 2013) containing a cocking piece with a cocking position and auto-trigger cooking, action spring, spring-loaded sear, kinematically connected with the trigger; a single-shot sear and spring-loaded auto-trigger with a self-trigger sear with two contact surfaces holding the cocking piece auto-trigger when reloading the weapon and after the shot, in which the portions of the percussion trigger mechanism are placed in a single case fixed in the weapon bed; the cocking piece auto-trigger is displaced relative to the axis of cocking piece rotation toward the head of the cocking piece, an additional auto-trigger is introduced, and it is mounted on the axis of the sear together with the auto-trigger and unilaterally coupled with it with the possibility of joint rotation when the lock frame interacts with the auto-trigger lever, and independent of each other rotation at interaction with the side surface of the cocking auto-trigger cocking piece, and the contact surface of the sear of the additional auto-trigger is parallel to the similar surface of the auto-trigger sear and is shifted in the direction of rotation of the cocking piece when cocking after firing.


The disadvantage of this technical solution is the lack of a tangible effect of the spring-loaded trigger on a shooter finger of the arrow when releasing the trigger.


The percussion trigger mechanism of automatic weapons is also known (Patent RU No. 2525339, IPC F41A19/00, F41A19/06, F41A19/07, published on Aug. 10, 2014) containing a sear with a trigger axis, single-shot sear mounted on the axis of the cocking piece; cocking piece with a cocked position and a spring-loaded auto-trigger cooking, action spring, cocking piece axis, spring-loaded auto-trigger with a sear and spring-loaded auto-trigger axis, in which the trigger is made in the form of L-shaped lever with a step-shaped position with the possibility to interact with spring-loaded U-shaped auto-trigger whose axis is located between the axis of the trigger and the axis of the cocking piece.


The disadvantages of this technical solution are:

    • the impossibility to adjust the trigger bar;
    • lack of trigger with alarm;
    • the complexity of the design, consisting of a large number of portions of complex configuration;
    • inconvenient disassembly and assembly of the trigger mechanism—requires the removal of three axes under the influence of the springs;
    • the mechanism does not allow, when firing, to know the state of the cocking piece cocking, especially at night, and does not provide a visual and tactile determination of the status of the cocking piece cocking;
    • the rotation angles of the auto-trigger sear are small, and because of this, small overlaps occur between the cocking piece and the auto-trigger sear, as resulted in friction increase, and small surface sections at the contact points wear out quickly. All this reduces the time of use of the mechanism and reduces the reliability of the percussion trigger mechanism, especially under difficult operating conditions (dust, dirt, sand, etc.);
    • the mechanism does not allow using it without significant changes in various types of small arms (for example, weapons with a magazine in a pistol grip; weapons made according to the bullpup scheme; weapons made with a side firing handle, etc.).


Unlike the above models, the proposed universal percussion trigger mechanism allows to improve the operation and reliability of the weapon and increase its operational characteristics. In particular: the reliability of safety catch is increased, it is possible to visually and tactually determine the state of the cocking piece, it is possible to adjust the cocking piece force and prevent the moment of trigger when firing, as well as the impossibility of cocking the weapon when the safety catch is in the safety position, removing the auto-trigger device from the weapon by transferring this function to the multifunctional switch.


This feature ensures the multifunctionality of the entire mechanism, that is, makes it possible to use it for weapons with a magazine in a pistol grip, in weapons made according to the “bull-pup” scheme, and weapons made with a side firing handle, which at the same time creates additional usability and the reliability of the magazine latch.

In addition, the trigger bar (24) is installed in the trigger housing with a magazine in the pistol grip (22).


In addition, the trigger bar (24) is installed in the trigger housing, made according to the bull-pup scheme (39).

In addition, the trigger bar (26) is installed in the trigger housing with a side pistol grip (40).


In addition, on the protrusion with the cock position platform (50) of the cocking piece (17), a protrusion (56) with an inclined platform (57) is made and on the support platform (98) of the sear (11) a T-shaped protrusion (101) is made with an inclined platform (102).

In addition, the inclined platform (102) of the sear (11) forms an acute angle (d102) with the support platform of the sear (98) equal to 35-45 degrees.

In addition, the thrust (89) is made of various lengths in the trigger bars (23), (24), (25), (26).


Improving the reliability of the safety catch is achieved by the fact that due to the through slot of the triangular shape of the safety catch, a protrusion is formed at the end of the safety catch, which rests on the trigger housing due to the spring-loaded safety latch and does not allow it to be removed from the safety position by directly pressing the safety catch. To remove the safety catch from the safety position, it is necessary to press the safety catch down additionally and simultaneously push it sideways. This increases the reliability of the safety catch when shaking, dropping weapons and from accidental direct pressing of the safety catch.


The possibility of visual and tactile determination of the state of the cocking piece is achieved by the fact that: when cocked, the cocking indicator in the landing hole of the trigger housing with a pistol grip and forearm a serrated notch plate appears. When the cocking piece is pulled with a cocking indicator, a smooth section of the plate appears in the landing hole of the trigger housing with the pistol grip and forearm.


The possibility to adjust the cocking piece force is achieved by rotating the adjusting screw of the trigger bar spring with a trigger in the receiver. In this case, it is possible to adjust the compression force of the spring of the trigger bar. After setting the necessary compression force of the spring of the trigger bar, it is necessary to lock the lock nut of the adjusting screw and thereby prevent possible changes in the thrust spring force with a cocking piece during subsequent operation of the weapon.


The prevention of an unauthorized trigger moment during a shot is achieved by the fact that the sear with its protrusion with an inclined platform needs to overcome the protrusion with an inclined platform on the cocking piece. The angles of the protrusions with inclined platforms are made equally and, by changing their inclination, it is possible to adjust the safety catch force.


The impossibility to cock a weapon when the safety catch is in the safety position is achieved by the fact that when trying to cock a weapon, the bulge at the rear end of the lock frame abuts the cocking piece. In this case, the protrusion on the cocking piece rests on the sear protrusion and locks the further movement of the lock frame, thereby preventing the cocking of weapons.


Also, the proposed technical solution provides the possibility of removing the auto-trigger device from the weapon, by transferring this function to the multifunctional switch. This is achieved by the fact that in the process of firing a shot, when rolling back the lock frame, a bulge at the rear end of the lock frame cocks the cocking piece. The cocking piece tip hits the rear radial surface of the multifunctional switch and pushes it, compressing the trigger mechanism spring. The protrusion with the cocking piece platform is placed on the lower inclined surface of the multifunctional switch and holds the cock in the cocked position when the trigger bar with trigger is pressed. The lock frame reaches its extreme rear position. When rolling the lock frame, it with its hook-shaped protrusion engages with the rack of the multifunctional switch. With further forward movement of the slide frame, the lower inclined surface of the multifunctional switch disengages from the protrusion of the cocking piece platform. A shot occurs and thereby auto-trigger during the shot.


The multifunctionality of the proposed mechanism is ensured by the fact that this mechanism can be used with a single-shot sear for semi-automatic weapons. And with a multifunctional switch, such a mechanism can be used in automatic weapons, both in single-shot mode and in automatic-fire mode. At the same time, the proposed mechanism can be used without the single-shot sear and without a multifunctional switch for magazine weapons.


In addition, the proposed universal percussion trigger mechanism provides the comfortability of use and reliability of the magazine latch operation. This is achieved by the fact that: the magazine latch is installed in the closed position by the safety latch spring of the magazine latch. Between the pusher of the magazine latch and the receiver there is a gap that allows the magazine latch to rotate only at a certain angle, protecting the magazine latch from spontaneous disassembly.

A side of the sear 11 has a through hole 99 for the rear protrusion 93 for the trigger bar 23 or 24 or 25 or 26. The upper surface of the protrusion 97 is made in the form of a radius. On the back wall of the bar 96 with the bottom edge there is a locking protrusion 100, designed to fix the universal trigger mechanism 36 or 41 when installing weapons in the trigger housing 22, which facilitates the assembly of weapons.



FIG. 28 shows a bottom view of the sear 11 for cocking pieces with a safety. For trigger mechanisms with a safety in the sear 11 on the support platform 98, it sear, a T-shaped protrusion 101 with an inclined platform 102 is made. The inclined platform 102 forms an acute angle d102 with a sear support platform 98 equal to 35-45 degrees, which is the optimal value for creating safety efforts.



FIG. 29 shows a side view of the single-shot sear 27. The single-shot sear 27, contains a square rod 103. On the back of the square rod 103 a T-shaped protrusion is made, consisting of a section 104 of the sear and the rack 105 of the sear. Inside the square rod 103 there is a blind hole 106 for the spring of the trigger mechanism 30.



FIG. 30 shows a cross-section along A-A of the single-shot sear 27 (see FIG. 29). This configuration is made in the form of portion of a square rod 103 and section 104 sears having a lower horizontal surface 107, front vertical surface 108 and a rear radius surface 109.



FIG. 31 shows a side view of the multifunctional switch 28. The multifunctional switch 28 contains a trapezoidal bar 110, the front end of the indicated trapezoidal bar 110 is made in the form of a rack 111 with a horizontal protrusion 112. In the rear of the trapezoidal bar 110 a T-shaped protrusion is made, consisting of the sear section 113 and the sear rack 105. Inside the trapezoid bar 110, a blind hole 106 was made for the spring of the trigger mechanism 30 and the axis of the multifunctional switch 29. On the rear bottom surface of the trapezoidal bar 110 a protrusion is made, 114, acting as a fire lever.



FIG. 32 shows a cross-section A-A through the sear section 113 (see FIG. 31) for the multifunctional switch 28. This configuration is made as portion of the trapezoid bar 110 and the sear section 113 having the lower inclined surface 115, the front vertical surface 108 and a back radius surface 109.



FIG. 33 shows a side view of the axis 29 of the multifunctional switch 28. The axis of the multifunctional switch 29 is made with a conical section 116 with a spherical head 117, which passes into cylindrical portion 118, which passes into cylindrical portion 119 with a smaller diameter, which ends with a chamfer 120.


The operation of the latch 7 of the magazine 1 in a fixed position is shown in FIG. 34, FIG. 35 (section 1-1 in FIG. 34), FIG. 36 (section 2-2 in FIG. 34). When the magazine 1 is inserted into the corresponding cavity of the trigger housing 22, the safety latch spring 5 presses on the pusher 6 of the latch 7 of the magazine 1, which pushes the protrusion 83 of the latch 7 of the magazine 1 with its axis 77. In addition, the latch 7 of the magazine 1 rotates and engages with its locking protrusion 82 meshing with the locking protrusion 2 of the magazine 1. The latch 7 of the magazine 1 is fixed by the trigger bracket 121 of the trigger housing 22, thereby effectively fixing the magazine 1 inside the weapon. In this case, a gap B4 is formed between the upper end of the cylindrical portion 75 of the pusher of the magazine latch 6 and the lower surface of the cylindrical section 72 of the safety latch 4.


When the safety catch 3 is pressed, the spherical head 71 of the safety latch 4 is in the spherical recess 70 in the compressed state using the spring 5 of the safety latch 4. In this case, the trigger bar 23 or 24 or 25 or 26 prevents the safety catch 3 from falling out of the trigger housing 22. The safety protrusion 85 of the trigger bar 23 or 24 or 25 or 26 has the possibility to move in the large slot 65 of the safety catch 3. This makes it possible to fire a shot when the cocking piece 84 of the trigger bar 23 or 24 or 25 or 26 is pressed.



FIG. 37, FIG. 38 (Section 1-1 in FIG. 37), FIG. 39 (Section 2-2 in FIG. 37), show the operation of the latch 7 of the magazine 1 when pressed. When the magazine 1 is removed or inserted into the corresponding cavity of the trigger housing 22, then the latch 7 of the magazine 1 is fully pressed, the protrusion 83 presses the pusher 6, which compresses the safety latch spring 5. At this time, the locking protrusion 82 on the latch 7 comes out from engagement with the locking protrusion 2 of the magazine 1 and the magazine 1 can be removed from the corresponding cavity of the trigger housing 22. The latch 7 of the magazine 1 is designed for both the right and left hands of the user. Since the latch 7 of the magazine 1 is in a spring-loaded state, the safety latch spring 5, and does not protrude from the trigger housing 22, it is protected from accidental emissions. The protrusion 83 of the latch 7 of the magazine 1 is rotated by a certain angle due to the fact that the upper end of the cylindrical portion 75 of the magazine pusher 6 abuts against the lower surface of the cylindrical section 72 of the latch 4 of the safety catch 3, which does not allow the latch 7 of the magazine 1 to spontaneously. At the same time, there is no gap B4 between the upper end of the cylindrical portion 72 of the magazine pusher 6 and the lower surface of the cylindrical section 69 of the safety latch 4.


When the safety catch 3 is triggered, the spherical head 71 of the safety latch 4 is located in the spherical recess 70 and, under the action of the safety latch 4 spring 5, lifts the end of the safety catch 3. Due to the through slot of the triangular shape 67 of the safety catch 3, a protrusion 69 is formed at the end of the safety catch 3, which abuts against the trigger housing 22 and does not allow direct pressure on the safety catch 3 to remove from the safety position. In this case, the trigger bar 23 or 24 or 25 or 26 does not allow the safety catch 3 to fall out of the trigger housing 22. Moreover, the safety protrusion 85 of the trigger bar 23 or 24 or 25 or 26 does not have the possibility to move in the small slot 66 of the safety catch 3. This does not allow you to press on the trigger bar 23 or 24 or 25 or 26 and fire. To remove safety catch 3 from the safety position, safety catch 3 must be lowered down and pressed down. When the trigger bar 23 or 24 or 25 or 26 is removed, the safety catch 3 is disassembled by pushing it from the landing hole of the trigger housing 22 in any direction.



FIGS. 40 and 41 show the disassembly and assembly of the magazine latch 7. When the receiver 20 is removed from the trigger housing 22 and the safety catch 3 is removed, the safety latch 4, the pusher spring 5 with the magazine pusher 6 are removed one bar from the blind hole 122 of the trigger housing 22. Then the latch 7 of the magazine 1 is pressed down until it stops. In this case, the locking protrusion of the magazine 82 and the protrusion of the magazine 83 on the latch 7 of the magazine are installed opposite the through hole 123 in the corresponding cavity of the trigger housing 22, and the latch 7 of the magazine 1 is removed. In the proposed invention, the latch 7 of the magazine 1 is disassembled without special tools. To assemble the latch 7 of the magazine 1, the disassembling steps are reversed.



FIGS. 42 and 43 show the cocking indication of the cocking piece 17. When the cocking 17 is cocked, the cocking indicator 52 of the cocking piece 17 passes through its notched section 53 through the slot 124 with the opening of the trigger housing 22. The notched section 53 allows to determine the cocking piece 17 cocked position visually and to the touch. When the cocking piece 17 is lowered, a smooth section 54 of the cocking indicator 52 appears in the slot with the hole 124 of the trigger housing 22. The smooth section 54 of the cocking indicator 52 allows to determine the lowered position of the cocking piece 17 visually and by touch.



FIG. 44 shows a side view of a fragment of a longitudinal section of the mechanism of the adjusting screw 13. Adjusting the compression force of the cocking piece of the spring 12 of the trigger bar: by adjusting the screw 13 in the threaded stop 125 of the receiver 20, it is possible to adjust the compression force of the spring of the trigger bar 12. After setting the required compression force of the spring of the trigger bar 12, the adjusting screw 13 must be locked with the lock nut 14 of the adjusting screw, thereby preventing the force of the spring of the trigger bar 12 from changing during operation.



FIG. 45, FIG. 46 and FIG. 47 show the operation of the cocking piece 17 and sear 11 in the safety mode from an arbitrary cocking. When the trigger bar 23 or 24 or 25 or 26 is pressed, sear 11 moves and selects the gap of free thrust of the trigger bar 23 or 24 or 25 or 26 with a trigger. Further, the T-shaped protrusion 101 with the inclined platform 102 on the sear 11 abuts against the protrusion 56 with the inclined platform 57 on the cocking piece 17. In order to pass the sear 11 further, it is necessary to increase the force of pressing the trigger bar 23 or 24 or 25 or 26. This occurs due to the fact that the sear 11, with its T-shaped protrusion 101, needs to overcome the protrusion 56 on the cocking piece 17. The angle d102 of the inclined platform 102 on the sear 11 and the angle d57 of the inclined platform 57 on the cocking piece 17 are made the same, and changing their inclination is possible, adjust the safety force. After overcoming the T-shaped protrusion 101 of the protrusion 56 is the breakdown of the cocking piece 17 and the shot.



FIG. 48 shows the operation of the safety catch 3 in the position of safety against arbitrary cocking. When the safety catch 3 is in the position of safety against arbitrary cocking, the trigger bar 23 or 24 or 25 or 26, and with it sear 11, does not have the possibility to move. The cocking piece 17 is in the cocked position. When trying to cock a weapon, a bulge 33 at the rear end of the lock frame 31 abuts the cocking piece 17 and tries to cock it. In this case, the protrusion 55 on the cocking piece 17 abuts against the protrusion 97, sears 11 and bars the further movement of the lock frame 31, thereby preventing the weapon from cocking.



FIG. 49, FIG. 50, FIG. 51, and FIG. 52 show the operation of the multifunctional switch 28. To switch from an automatic fire mode to a semi-automatic fire mode, the protrusion 114 of the multifunctional switch 28 is pushed fully forward, up and back, with a horizontal protrusion 112 passes into the rectangular hole 94 of the trigger bar 24 or 26. Then, the horizontal protrusion 112 of the multifunctional switch 28 passes forward and down. In addition, the horizontal protrusion 112 will take a lower position in the rectangular cavity 91 of the trigger bar 24 or 26 and the rack 111 of the multifunctional switch 28 will disengage from the hook-shaped protrusion 32 of the lock frame 31. The spring 30 of the trigger mechanism is fully compressed and the axis 29 of the switch 28 is in the lowest position. Then the horizontal protrusion 112 will take a position in the rectangular cavity 91 of the trigger bar 24 or 26. To switch from the semi-automatic fire mode to the automatic fire mode, you need to do all of the above, the above steps in reverse order. Multifunctional switch 28 improves fire efficiency and accuracy because switching fires can be done without looking away from a gun's sight with the right or left hand arrow.


Considering the above, examples of the proposed universal percussion trigger mechanism may be as follows:



FIG. 53, FIG. 54, FIG. 55, and FIG. 56 show the operation of the universal percussion trigger mechanism for semi-automatic fire. When pressing the trigger bar 23 or 25, it presses on the sear 11 and the support platform 98 of the sear slides from the cocking platform 50 of the cocking piece 17. In this position, the spring 12 of the trigger bar 23, 25 and the mainsprings 19 are in maximum load mode. Under the action of the mainsprings 19, the cocking piece 17 is rotated. At the same time, with its percussion platform 46 it strikes the firing pin 8. Then the firing pin 8 compresses the spring 9 of the firing pin 8 and pierces the capsule with an ammunition igniter. A shot is taking place. At such a moment, the lock frame 31 rolls back and a bulge 33 at the rear end of the lock frame 31 cocks the cocking piece 17. The tip 48 of the cocking piece hits the rear radius surface 109 of the single-shot sear 27 and pushes the single-shot sear 27, compressing the spring 30 of the trigger mechanism. The protrusion with the platform 51 of the cocking piece 17 becomes on the lower horizontal surface 107 of the single-shot sear 27 and holds the cocking piece 17, in cocked position with the trigger bar 23 or 25 being pressed. The lock frame 31 reaches the extreme rear position.
