  • the present invention relates to a breech and lock mechanism for single-shot and multiple-shot repeater rifles such as used in hunting. More particularly, to such a rifle wherein the unlocking and opening as well as the closing and locking of the rifle and the automatic feed of a cartridge into the barrel is effected by limited longitudinal displacement of components of the rifle.
  • Chamber locks were then introduced to eliminate this accidental unlocking but such locks required additional components and necessitated an additional manual operation.
  • a further disadvantage is that the cartridge which is pushed from the magazine by a spring during the repeating operation is introduced into the chamber at an angle. As a result. there is considerable jamming of the cartridge with resultant damage to the casing which may subsequently cause jamming or faulty operation of the firearm. Further. the use of the cylinder breech adds to the total length of the firearm.
  • Firearms have also been constructed in which the barrel is tilted downwardly for the purpose of cocking and loading the weapon. While such a weapon does have the advantages of a slender and trim structure which does not include any projecting levers and is very suitable for carrying. such a firearm does not have the possibility of repeating or automatic action in order to obtain a rapid firing. Accordingly. after every one or two shots the firearm must be opened, cocked, loaded and then closed.
  • the front stock is moved forwardly and rearwardly with respect to the barrel by the hand which supports the weapon to permit repeating firing of the weapon. This movement also ejects the empty cartridge casing and loads a new cartridge into the chamber. While such a pump-action firearm is capable of attaining a rapid firing rate.
  • this type of firearm is basically constructed only in the smaller calibers which are not suitable for many hunting purposes. Further. this type of firearm cannot be disassembled with only simple or limited procedures and without the use of tools in order to carry the weapon in a case.
  • a breech and lock mechanism for single-shot and multiple-shot repeating rifles for use particularly in hunting which may comprise first and second units longitudinally moveable with respect to each other.

  • a pair of cylinders are pivotally mounted in the breech for movement between open and closed positions.
  • Each cylinder is provided with means thereon for lockingly engaging the rear portion of the bolt head in the closed position of the units.
  • the cylinders are unlocked from the bolt head when the units are sliding toward the open position.
  • Each cylinder is provided with a laterally extending side bar with both of these bars being engaged under a cross bar in the closed position of the weapon to prevent pivoting of the cylinders during firing.
  • a cartridge magazine is normally disposed in the frame below the barrel when the units are in the closed position and is pivoted through a linkage system into a raised parallel position upon opening of the units. In the raised position a cartridge is removed from the magazine and retained in the bolt head. Upon closing of the units the magazine is again pivoted downwardly into its normal position.

  • the unit 2 comprises a barrel 7 having a breech portion 8 mounted on the end of the barrel and a front stock 9 as shown in FIG. 4.
  • the firearm is opened and closed by displacing the units 1 and 2 with respect to each other on longitudinal guides extending parallel to the barrel 7 and mounted below the barrel.
  • the unit 2 slides upon a concave surface 11 on a lower curved portion of the breech 8 as may be seen in FIGS. 4 and 5.
  • Two longitudinally extending slides or cams 12 are provided on each side of the curved portion 10 so as to slide upon the edges of a semicircular central portion 13 of the frame 3.
  • a bearing eye 14 is fixedly mounted on the underside of barrel 7 and slideably receives a cylindrical portion 15 which extends outwardly from the front of the frame 3 as shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 5.
  • An end abutment or stop 16 is detachably mounted on the front end of the cylindrical portion 15 and abuts against the bearing eye 14 to limit the longitudinal displacement of structural unit 2 during opening of the firearm.

  • the bars 21, 22 are provided with recessed locking projections 23, 24 which are secured and locked in position by cross bar 25 fixedly mounted on the frame 3. This locking of the side bars 21, 22 prevents the breech cylinders 17, 18 from turning during firing of the weapon.
  • this structure has the advantage that the surface 20 of bolt head 19 defines the endmost of those components which are stressed during firing of the weapon.
  • the repeater structure is extremely short in length.
  • recoil forces are absorbed centrally with respect to the axis of the barrel directly behind the impact surface 20.
  • This structure can also be constructed of a relatively inexpensive material such as light metals and thermo plastic synthetic resins. Steel may be used in only the most important and most highly stressed components of the weapon which is advantageous in that the over-all weight of the weapon is reduced.
  • a longitudinally displaceable cylindrical casing 27 is slideably mounted in a rear flattened portion 26 of frame 3.

  • a U-shaped spring has both legs thereof positioned on opposite sides of drive pin 34 so that the legs are pointing in the same direction but act in opposition to each other. The spring 35 thus retains the casing 27 in a central normal or resting position and the casing 27 is always returned to this normal position by the suitable leg of the spring after actuation of the slide 32.
  • the casing 27 is provided with a recess 38 on its underside in which is received a rear portion 40' of a locking pawl 40 pivotally mounted on a pin 41 which blocks the bolt portion 4.
  • the recess 38 is provided with a sloping or cam surface 39 which engages the rear portion 40' of lever 40 upon rearward movement of slide 32 to pivot the lever 40 in a clockwise direction and to release the forward end of the lever from a locking pin 42 secured in the frame rear portion 4.
  • the structural unit 2 of the weapon is then released and can be displaced forwardly through a distance or stroke equal to the length of the cartridge plus the breech travel on guides l3, 15 on unit 1 until the displacement is limited by abutment 16.
  • the bolt portion 4 together with the bolt head 19 is also shifted forwardly and is guided by a guide shaft 43 mounted firmly in a flat portion 4' of the bolt.
  • the guide shaft 43 is subjected to the action of a compression spring 43.
  • the bolt 4 together with the bolt flat portion 4' is also guided between cams 25' provided on the cross bar 25 and shown in FIGS. 6-8.
  • the opening of the units 1 and 2 causes the projections 23, 24 of side bars 21, 22 to become released from the cross bar 25.
  • the side bars 21, 22 are provided on their inner ends with notches or jaw openings 44, 45 which receive pins 46 and 47 fixed on a surface 48 below the bolt head 19 as seen in FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • the cylinders l7, 18 will be pivoted through an angle of about 90 and the locking engagement between the bolt head 19 and breech 8 is released.
  • pins 49 positioned laterally and oppositely in the lower curved portion 10 of breech 6 (FIGS. 2 and 5) will slide into notches or recesses 50 of a fork-ended lever 52 pivotally mounted at 51 in the frame 3.
  • This engagement of the pins 49 with the recesses 50 will pivot the lever 52 in a counter-clockwise direction so that a lever arm 53 which is pivotally connected at 54 to a link 55 will drive a lever 56 of a parallel lever drive indicated generally at 57 and normally positioned in the frame as shown in FIG. I.
  • This normal position is within the central portion 13 of the frame 3 under the barrel 7.
  • the pivoting of the link 56 will cause the cartridge magazine 5 to automatically pivot upwardly and rearwardly in a parallel position against bolt head 19 into the position as shown in FIG. 2.
  • the magazine 5 is rotatably mounted on a shaft 61 which is mounted parallel to the axis of the barrel in mounting heads 59 and 60 and forms the connecting element of the parallel lever drive 57.
  • the magazine is formed of a resilient or elastic material such as a thermo plastic synthetic resin and is shaped in section in the form of a star so that cartridges 62 (indicated by dashed lines) can be snapped into and locked in the individual chambers 63 in a clip-type arrangement. In this particular embodiment there are four cartridge chambers in the magazine but it is to be understood that this number may vary.
  • the magazine 5 is loaded by snapping separately the individual cartridges 62 from the side of the magazine into the individual chambers 63 so that the cartridge casing head 67 contacts an abutment plate 68 fixed on the mounting head 60.

  • the magazine 5 Upon closing of the weapon by the relative displacement of units 1 and 2 from the position in FIG. 2 to the position shown in FIG. 1, the magazine 5 will be pivoted downwardly into a position under the barrel 7 and breech 8 as shown in FIG. 1.
  • the uppermost and last inserted cartridge 62 will be retained in the extractor lips 65, 66 and will be removed from the magazine 5.
  • the cartridge Upon further longitudinal displacement of the units the cartridge will be inserted by the bolt head 19 in a straight line into chamber 73 of the barrel 7.
  • the bolt head 19 will support the cartridge 62 on its rear face by means of the breech 8 and breech cylinders 17 and 18.
  • the closed and loaded weapon is now locked by the locking engagement of locking pawl 40 over the locking pin 42 in the bolt portion 4.
  • the weapon is cocked by moving the slide 32 in the direction of the arrow 36.
  • the movement of the slide simultaneously moves the cylinder 27 in which is slideably positioned a hammer 74 which is retained in position by a catch lever 76 pivoted at 75 in the bolt portion 4.
  • This blocking of the hammer 74 tensions a compression spring 77 located within the cylinder 27 and acting upon rod 74.
  • a slideable plunger 79 When trigger 78 is pulled in order to fire the weapon, a slideable plunger 79 will be cammed upwardly and will pivot the catch lever 76 in a clockwise direction to release the hammer 74 which, under the action of compression spring 77, impacts with its forward surface 80 against a rear side 81 of firing pin 82.
  • the firing pin 82 acts against a spring 83 and strikes against the percussion cap of cartridge 62 within the chamber 73 to fire the weapon.
  • the weapon is opened as described above so that the cartridge magazine 5 located under the barrel as shown in FIG. 9 pivots upwardly toward the bolt head 19.
  • the empty chamber 63 of the magazine now receives the empty cartridge casing 62 which has been held between the extractor lips 65, 66 on the bolt head 19.
  • the magazine 5 pivots automatically to remove the empty cartridge casing 62' from the extractor lips 65, 66 in the direction indicated by the arrow 58' in FIG. 11.
  • the next successive cartridge 62 is then fed into the extractor lips 65, 66 from the opposite side as also shown in FIG. 11. This automatic rotation of the magazine to remove an empty cartridge casing and to position a new cartridge is achieved under the action of the spring 72.
  • the automatic step-by-step rotation of the magazine 5 is achieved by a control lever fixed on the end of a pin 84 slideably and rotatably retained in a bore in the magazine mounting head 59.
  • the pin 84 is both axially and pivotally mounted by means of a single bent spring shown in FIGS. 12 and 14.
  • a plurality of stop pins 88 are resiliently mounted in bores formed in the forward face 69 of the magazine 5.
  • the stop pins are engageable with a stop plate 87 mounted on the head 59.
  • the control lever 85 is pressed against the stop pins 88 by a finger 86 fixedly attached on the driving lever 56 of the parallel lever drive 57.
  • stop pin 88 Upon a pivoting of the magazine 5 to remove an empty cartridge and replace a new cartridge in the bolt head, stop pin 88 will abut against stop plate 87 and will engage laterally against a projecting head 89 of the control lever 85. The lever 85 will thus be shifted axially upon its pin 84 until stop pin 88 contacts stop plate 87.
  • the control lever 85 Upon the pivoting of the cartridge magazine 5 and the parallel lever drive 57 into the lowered position upon closing of the weapon. the control lever 85 will also pivot from the area of the stop pins 88 back into its starting position as shown in FIG. 14. Thus, the control lever can again be moved axially back into its plane of action. The pivoting and axial sliding return movement of the control lever 85 are both obtained through the spring 90.
  • Stop pins 88 are each provided with oblique cam surfaces 91 on the front edge for this purpose so that upon the pivoting of the magazine 5 during loading the pins 88 will slide past stop plate 87 on the mounting head 59.
  • a stop pin 92 functions as an end stop in both directions of rotation of the cartridge magazine 5 and because of its shape is not actuated by the control lever 85.
  • the number of stop pins 88, 92 corresponds to the number of cartridges retained in the magazine. In the present embodiment there are four stop pins but it is to be understood the number of cartridge chambers and stop pins may vary.
  • the cartridge magazine 5 has already been pivoted automatically under the barrel 7 into the position as shown in FIGS. 1 and 9.
  • the weapon is thus always in the firing position during every one of the repeating operations. This assures an extremely rapid rate of firing.
  • the barrel 7 can be replaced with an interchangeable barrel to permit the firing of other Calibers of amunition and also insertion bores may be employed to permit the firing of smaller caliber amunition.
  • the magazine arrangement as described above, can also be used for all Calibers of amunition.
  • a hair-trigger arrangement can be arranged for the trigger device as disclosed.
  • prismatic guides 94 and 95 are mounted respectively on the barrel at the base of a rear sight 93 and on the upper side of breech 8 for the mounting thereon of a telescopic sight 96 as indicated by the dashed lines.
  • the telescopic sight 96 is mounted at a very small distance above the barrel 7 since there are no projecting operating components from the firearm.
  • the telescopic sight is mounted in an manner known in the art. It is noted that the wide spacing of the guides 94, 95, which is about two-thirds of the length of the telescopic sight, is also a further advantage. It is the simple structure of the firearm according to the present invention with its absence of projecting components which enables this precise and accurate positioning of the telescopic sight.
  • the end abutment 16 may be in the form of a threaded bolt which can be removed manually, without any tools, to enable the weapon to be readily disassembled into the two structural groups 1 and 2, each of which is of approximately the same size. The units can then be safely transported in a suitable weapons case.
  • the present embodiment has been disclosed as a multiple-shot rifle with the use of a cartridge magazine such as at 5, the invention is not limited to such a weapon but can be used also as a single-shot weapon by eliminating the cartridge magazine. Further. for a par ticular purpose the empty cartridge casings can be foreibly ejected in a known manner.
  • the firearm can be constructed as self-cocking. This can be done by tensioning of the firing pin spring when the two units I and 2 are shifted together into the locked position as shown in FIG. 1.
  • the firearm according to the present invention possesses numerous advantages and advances over previously known weapons.
  • the firearm is particularly advantageous in that safety in handling of the weapon is substantially increased by the elimination of projecting levers and components, as well as by the compact arrangement and simplified operation of the structural components that co-act to fire the weapon.
  • the concentric introduction of cartridges into the cartridge chamber 73 of the barrel 7 permits careful handling of even the most sensitive cartridges and, in particular, avoids any damage or denting of the tips of the bullets. Damage to the cartridge is thus largely eliminated and the noise of repeating is significantly reduced since empty cartridge casings are not ejected from the weapon but are replaced into the car tridge magazine.
  • the parts of the weapon which are subjected to the greatest stress during firing form the end of the breech immediately behind the impact surface 20 of the bolt head which results in an extremely short structure of the repeating weapon.
  • the length of the firearm was only about one meter.
  • both hands and the aiming eye remain in the firing position so that one can obtain a substantially faster rate of firing than with known repeating rifles.
  • considerable use can be made of relatively inexpensive materials such as light metals and thermo plastic synthetic resins. Only the most important and highly stressed components need be made of steel. As a result, the weight of the weapon is reduced substantially by the use of such materials.
  • the structure as described above can also be used for asingle-shot weapon. Barrels of smaller caliber may be inserted and the barrel 7 can be interchanged with another barrel so that the same weapon can be used with different sizes of amunition.
  • the over-all structure of the weapon according to the present invention permits the telescopic sight 96 to be positioned relatively closely upon the barrel without exerting any disadvantageous effects on the cocking and unloading operations. Further, the guide members upon which the telescopic sight is mounted can be spaced relatively far apart on the breech and that por tion of the barrel upon which the rear sight is mounted.
