Description

[0001] The invention relates to a trigger device with a catching function for a rifle according to the independent claim.

[0002] The trigger mechanism of a firearm represents the firing mechanism of the weapon. A trigger mechanism comprises at least one firing unit, a trigger blade, and a main catch. Pulling the trigger blade releases the main catch from the pre-tensioned firing unit, whereupon the firing unit accelerates toward the firing pin of the weapon and transfers force to the firing pin so that the propellant charge of a cartridge can be ignited.

[0003] FR 1 530 296 A discloses a trigger mechanism for an automatic firearm. The bolt has recoil-stopping means.

[0004] US 10 837 728 B2 and US 2023 / 0 003 476 A1 and US 2023 / 0 136 053 A1 disclose two-stage trigger devices for firearms, in particular a drop-in trigger for an M4 / M16 / AR15 firearm.

[0005] US 2024 / 0 200 895 A1 relates to a trigger device for a firearm which is designed in such a way that the trigger device can be cocked in a safe position of the firearm.

[0006] US 2017 / 0 131 054 A1 also discloses a trigger device for a (semi-)automatic firearm.

[0007] US 2018 / 0 209 755 A1 also discloses a trigger device for a (semi-)automatic firearm with a striking unit on which a first headrest is arranged, with which either a first catch detent can engage in a semi-automatic operation or a second catch detent in a binary operation, and on which a second headrest is further arranged, with which a separately mounted and operable safety lever for locking the striking unit can engage in order to enable the switching of the trigger device between the semi-automatic operation and the binary operation more safely and easily.

[0008] Trigger mechanisms are known that, in addition to the main catch, have a catch catch to catch the firing unit, which is pushed back by the recoiling force of the propellant charge, in a cocked position after a shot. This then makes the trigger mechanism ready for the next shot without the shooter having to manually load it.

[0009] In general, but especially in the field of sport shooting, it is important that the rifle's trigger mechanism enables the shooter to fire as safely, accurately, and consistently as possible. Safe, accurate, and consistent shooting is influenced, on the one hand, by the pull force required to fire a shot and the trigger pull required to do so. It should be ensured that the pull force and pull distance remain consistent over many shots.

[0010] However, it is also particularly important for safe handling of the weapon that it is possible to load the weapon when it is in the safe position and that the shooter does not have to first release the safety catch in order to load it.

[0011] However, prior art trigger mechanisms are designed in such a way—in particular, the main catch and the trigger blade are formed as a single piece—that the firing pin can only move into the position where it engages the main catch during loading if the trigger blade can also move. This is possible with known trigger mechanisms in the unsafe state, but not in the safe state. For this reason, the weapon cannot be secured when the firing pin is uncocked. The safety can only be engaged once the firing pin has been cocked. This disadvantage of known trigger mechanisms therefore makes handling the weapon unsafe.

[0012] It is the object of the present invention to provide a trigger device with a catch function for a rifle, which eliminates the disadvantages of the prior art and in particular offers the possibility of securing the weapon independently of the position of the striking unit.

[0013] This object is achieved by a trigger device with a catch function for a rifle according to claim 1. Advantageous aspects of the invention form the subject matter of the respective subclaims.

[0014] The invention relates to a trigger device with a catch function for a rifle, comprising - a striking unit with a first headrest, a second headrest, a head section and a striking unit bearing section, wherein the striking unit can be rotatably arranged on the rifle via the striking unit bearing section such that the striking unit can be pivoted into a pre-tensioned locking position, into a pre-tensioned catch position and into a striking position; - a trigger blade with a trigger blade bearing section, wherein the trigger blade can be rotatably arranged on the rifle via the trigger blade bearing section such that the trigger blade can be pivoted into an actuating position and a neutral position; - a main catch with a main catch bearing section, wherein the trigger tongue and the main catch are formed in two pieces, and wherein the main catch can be rotatably arranged on the rifle via the main catch bearing section such that the main catch can be pivoted from a locking position to a release position by moving the trigger tongue into the actuating position and can be pivoted from the release position to the locking position by moving the trigger tongue into the neutral position, and wherein the main catch and the first head catch are engaged at a first contact section when the striking unit is in the locking position and the main catch is in the locking position, and the engagement is released when the main catch is in the release position; - a sear with a sear bearing section, wherein the trigger blade and the sear are formed in two pieces, and wherein the sear can be rotatably arranged on the rifle via the sear bearing section such that the sear can be pivoted from a catch position to a reset position by moving the trigger blade into the neutral position, and wherein the sear and the second head catch are engaged at a second contact section when the striking unit is in the catch position and the sear is in the catch position, and the engagement is released when the sear is in the reset position; - a first return means which is designed to provide, when mounted on the rifle, a return force acting on the main catch to move the main catch from the release position to the locking position; - a second return means which is designed to provide, when mounted on the rifle, a return force which acts on the catch to pivot the catch from the return position into the catch position.

[0015] The first headrest and the second headrest are arranged at a distance from one another in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation of the striking unit bearing section, and the axes of rotation of the trigger blade bearing section, the main rest bearing section and the safety catch bearing section lie on one another.

[0016] By arranging the first headrest and the second headrest at a distance from one another in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation of the impact unit bearing section, a space-saving arrangement of the first headrest and the second headrest on the impact unit is enabled.

[0017] Because the trigger blade and the main catch are formed in two pieces, the trigger blade and the main catch can pivot independently of each other, so that the main catch and the first head catch can engage regardless of the position of the trigger blade and without pivoting the trigger blade. Thus, a rifle comprising the trigger device according to the invention offers the possibility of being secured regardless of the position of the firing unit.

[0018] When mounted on the rifle, the rotation axes of the trigger blade bearing section, the main catch bearing section and the sear catch bearing section can lie on top of one another.

[0019] According to an advantageous aspect, the first head catch and the second head catch are arranged (only) on the head portion of the impact unit (and no catch is arranged on the impact unit bearing portion).

[0020] The head section is arranged on a side of the impact unit facing away from the impact unit bearing section. As a result, neither the first head latch nor the second head latch are arranged on the impact unit bearing section. This allows the engagement of the main latch with the first head latch and the engagement of the catch latch with the second head latch to be torque-neutral.

[0021] The first headrest and the second headrest can be the only two rests on the impact unit to hold the impact unit in a resting or catching position.

[0022] According to a particularly advantageous aspect, the main catch has a first adjusting unit which is designed to variably adjust a first tilt angle between the main catch and the trigger blade when mounted on the rifle.

[0023] This allows a variable adjustment of the trigger pull path between the neutral position and the actuating position, which is necessary to swing the main detent from the detent position to the release position.

[0024] The first adjusting unit can be designed as an adjusting screw, which is arranged in a thread of the main catch and strikes an extension of the trigger blade.

[0025] According to a preferred aspect, the catch has a second adjusting unit which is designed to variably adjust a second tilt angle between the catch and the trigger blade when mounted on the rifle.

[0026] The second adjusting unit can be designed as an adjusting screw, which is arranged in a thread of the catch and strikes the trigger blade.

[0027] According to a further preferred aspect, the trigger device comprises a pretensioning device which is designed to variably adjust a pretension of the trigger blade when mounted on the rifle.

[0028] This allows for variable adjustment of the trigger pull force. The pre-tensioning device can comprise a spring and an adjusting screw tensioned against the spring.

[0029] According to a particularly preferred aspect, the trigger device comprises a support unit which is designed to limit a return movement of the striking unit beyond the catch position when mounted on the rifle.

[0030] Thus, the design allows the impact unit to strike the support unit during a return movement beyond the catch position. This reduces wear on the trigger mechanism. The support unit can be integrated into a frame that encloses the trigger mechanism, or the support unit can be designed as a separate component.

[0031] According to an advantageous aspect, the main catch and the catch catch are arranged spaced apart from one another in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation of the main catch bearing section when mounted on the rifle.

[0032] This makes it particularly easy to arrange the main catch and the sear catch side by side in the rifle, pivotably mounted. By arranging the main catch and the sear catch side by side, a torque-neutral arrangement in the rifle can be more easily ensured compared to arranging the main catch and sear catch one behind the other, i.e., in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the main catch bearing section.

[0033] According to a further advantageous aspect, when the trigger device is mounted on the rifle, the second contact section lies in a plane spanned by the first contact section and the axis of rotation of the main catch bearing section.

[0034] As a result, the engagement of the main catch with the first head catch on the first contact section and the engagement of the catch catch with the second head catch on the second contact section can be designed to be torque-neutral at the same time.

[0035] According to a particularly advantageous aspect, an (imaginary) first connecting line perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the impact unit bearing section and running through the first contact section encloses an angle of between 80° and 100°, in particular between 85° and 95°, with an (imaginary) second connecting line perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the main catch bearing section and running through the first contact section.

[0036] This allows a particularly low pulling force to be achieved, which must be applied in order to pivot the trigger blade from the neutral position to the actuating position and thus to pivot the main detent from the detent position to the release position.

[0037] The invention is explained in more detail below using exemplary embodiments. In the following, the following are shown: Fig. 1a Schematic side view of a trigger mechanism with catch function for a rifle; Fig. 1b Schematic side view of the trigger mechanism from Fig. 1 with partially transparent impact unit and without frame; Fig. 2 Schematic side view of the impact unit of the Fig. 1a and Fig. 1b shown trigger device; Fig. 3 Schematic side view of the main catch and the first return means of the Fig. 1a and Fig. 1b shown trigger device; Fig. 4 Schematic side view of the catch and the second return means of the Fig. 1a and Fig. 1b shown trigger device; Fig. 5a - 5d Schematic side sectional views of the Fig. 1a shown trigger device in a state mounted in the rifle in various positions and positions of the striking unit, the trigger blade, the main catch and the sear catch, wherein the rifle is in an unlocked setting 2. Fig. 6 Schematic side sectional views of the Fig. 1a in a state mounted in the rifle, the rifle being in a safe setting.

[0038] Fig. 1a shows a schematic side view of a trigger device 1 with a catch function for a rifle.

[0039] The trigger device 1 comprises a striking unit 10, which is also described in detail in Fig. 2, a trigger blade 20, a main catch 30, which is also shown in detail in Fig. 3, and a catch 40, which is also shown in detail in Fig. 4 is shown.

[0040] The striking unit 10 has a striking unit bearing section 100 and is rotatably mounted on a rifle 0 (in Fig. 5a) so that the impact unit 10 can be pivoted into a pre-tensioned locking position, into a pre-tensioned catching position and into an impact position.

[0041] The trigger blade 20 has a bracket 21 and a trigger blade bearing section 200. The trigger blade 20 is rotatably mounted on a rifle 0 (in Fig. 5a) so that the trigger blade 20 can be pivoted into an actuating position and a neutral position.

[0042] The main catch 30 has a main catch bearing section 300, via which the main catch 30 can be rotatably mounted on a rifle 0 (in Fig. 5a) so that the main catch 30 can be pivoted from a detent position into a release position by moving the trigger blade 20 into the actuating position. If the trigger blade 20 is pivoted back into the neutral position, the main catch 30 pivots from the release position into the detent position.

[0043] The catch 40 has a catch bearing section 400, via which the catch 40 can be rotatably mounted on a rifle 0 (in Fig. 5a) so that the catch 40 can be pivoted from a catch position into a reset position by moving the trigger blade 20 into the neutral position.

[0044] The trigger blade 20 and the main catch 30 are designed as separable units, i.e., in two pieces. The trigger blade 20 and the safety catch 40 are also designed as separable units, i.e., in two pieces.

[0045] The rotation axes R2, R3, R4 of the trigger blade bearing section 200, the main catch bearing section 300 and the sear bearing section 400 lie on top of each other and are thus also integrated into a rifle 0 (in Fig. 5a). This causes the trigger blade 20, the main catches 30, and the safety catches 40 to pivot around a common axis of rotation.

[0046] The main catch 30 and the catch 40 are arranged at a distance from each other in a direction parallel to the rotational axis R2 of the main catch bearing section 300. As a result, the main catch 30 and the catch 40 can be pivotally mounted next to each other particularly easily in a rifle 0 (in Fig. 5a).

[0047] The trigger device 1 further comprises a support unit 70, which is integrated into a frame 71 that encloses the trigger device 1. The support unit 70 is designed to limit a return movement of the striking unit 10 beyond the catch position, thus reducing wear on the trigger device 1. In the example shown, this is achieved by the striking unit 10 striking the support unit 70 during a return movement beyond the catch position.

[0048] The trigger device 1 also comprises a pretensioning device 60, which is designed to variably adjust the pretension of the trigger blade 20, thereby also variably adjusting the pulling force of the trigger blade 20. In the example shown, the pretensioning device 60 comprises a spring and an adjusting screw, which is tensioned against the spring and arranged in the frame 71, which allows the pretension of the spring to be variably adjusted. One end of the spring abuts the arm 21 of the trigger blade and the opposite end abuts the adjusting screw.

[0049] Fig. 1b shows a schematic side view of the trigger device 1 from Fig. 1 with partially transparent impact unit 10 and without frame.

[0050] The impact unit 10 has a first head latch 101 and a second head latch 102, both of which are arranged on a head portion 103 of the impact unit 10. The first head latch 101 and a second head latch 102 are the only two latches of the impact unit 10.

[0051] In the view shown, the impact unit 10 is in the locking position RS and the main catch 30 is in the locking position RP, so that the main catch 30 and the first head catch 101 are engaged at a first contact section K1.

[0052] In this case, an imaginary first connecting line A1, perpendicular to the rotational axis R1 of the impact unit bearing section 100 and running through the first contact section K1, forms an angle α of 88° with an imaginary second connecting line A2, perpendicular to the rotational axis R2 of the main detent bearing section 300 and running through the first contact section K1. This achieves a particularly low tensile force that must be applied to actuate the trigger blade 20 and thus pivot the main detent 30 from the detent position RP into the release position, in which the main detent 30 and the first head detent 101 are no longer engaged at the first contact section K1.

[0053] Fig. 2 shows a schematic side view of the impact unit 10 of the Fig. 1a and Fig. 1b shown trigger device 1.

[0054] The impact unit 10 has a first head rest 101, a second head rest 102, a head section 103, and an impact unit support section 100. The first head rest 101 and the second head rest 102 are arranged only on the head section 103 of the impact unit 10.

[0055] The head section 103 is arranged on a side of the impact unit 10 facing away from the impact unit bearing section 100. As a result, neither the first head catch 101 nor the second head catch 102 are arranged on the impact unit bearing section 100. As a result, the engagement of the main catch 30 with the first head catch 101 (in Fig. 5a) and the engagement of the catch 40 with the second head catch 102 (in Fig. 5d) is designed to be torque-neutral.

[0056] By arranging the first headrest 101 and the second headrest 102 at a distance from one another in a direction parallel to the rotational axis R1 of the impact unit bearing section 100, a space-saving arrangement of the first headrest 101 and the second headrest 102 on the impact unit 10 is made possible.

[0057] Fig. 3 shows a schematic side view of the main catch 30 and the first return means 50 of the Fig. 1a and Fig. 1b shown trigger device 1.

[0058] The first return means 50 is designed to be in the position provided on the rifle 0 (in Fig. 5a) mounted state to provide a restoring force acting on the main catch 30 to move the main catch 30 from the release position to the locking position.

[0059] The main catch 30 has a first actuating unit 31 which is designed to actuate the first actuating unit 31 in the position provided on the rifle 0 (in Fig. 5a) mounted state a first tilt angle between the main catch 30 and the trigger blade 20 (in Fig. 5a). This allows a variable adjustment of the pull path of the trigger blade 20 (in Fig. 5a) between the neutral position and the actuating position, which is necessary to pivot the main catch 30 from the locking position to the release position. In the illustration shown, the first adjusting unit 31 is designed as an adjusting screw, which is arranged in a thread of the main catch 30.

[0060] Fig. 4 shows a schematic side view of the catch 40 and the second return means 51 of the Fig. 1a and Fig. 1b shown trigger device 1.

[0061] The second return means 51 is designed to be in the position provided on the rifle 0 (in Fig. 5d) mounted state to provide a restoring force which acts on the catch 40 in such a way as to pivot the catch 40 from the reset position into the catch position.

[0062] The catch 40 has a second actuating unit 41 which is designed to actuate the second actuating unit 41 in the position provided on the rifle 0 (in Fig. 5d) mounted state a second tilt angle between the catch 40 and the trigger blade 20 (in Fig. 5d). The second adjusting unit 41 is designed as an adjusting screw, which is arranged in a thread of the catch 40.

[0063] Fig. 5a - 5d show schematic side sectional views of the Fig. 1a shown trigger device 1 in a state mounted in the rifle 0 in various positions and positions of the striking unit 10, the trigger blade 20, the main catch 30 and the catch catch 40, wherein the rifle 0 is in an unlocked setting 2 in each case.

[0064] The rotation axes R2, R3, R4 of the trigger blade bearing section 200, the main catch bearing section 300, and the sear catch bearing section 400 are aligned when mounted in the rifle 0. As a result, the trigger blade 20, the main catches 30, and the sear catches 40 pivot about a common rotation axis. Furthermore, the striking unit 10 is rotatably mounted on the rifle 0 via the striking unit bearing section 100, preloaded by a spring.

[0065] In Fig. 5a, the striking unit 10 is in the detent position RS, the trigger blade 20 is in the neutral position NP, the main detent 30 is in the detent position RP, and the safety detent 40 is in the reset position RSP. As a result, the main detent 30 and the first head detent 101 are engaged at a first contact section K1.

[0066] In Fig. 5b, the trigger blade 20 was rotated about the rotation axis R2 of the trigger blade bearing section 200 from the Fig. 5a, into the trigger position AP, whereby the main catch 30 is pivoted from the detent position to the trigger position AP. Here, the main catch 30 and the first head catch 101 are no longer engaged, so that the pre-tensioned striking unit 10 has moved into the striking position SS. The striking unit 10 thereby transmits a force to the firing pin, igniting the propellant charge of a cartridge.

[0067] The main catch 30 has a first adjusting unit 31 designed as an adjusting screw, which is designed to variably adjust a first tilt angle between the main catch 30 and the trigger blade 20. This allows a variable adjustment of the pull path of the trigger blade 20 between the Fig. 5a shown neutral position NP and the actuation position BP shown here, which is necessary to move the main catch 30 from the position shown in Fig. 5a into the release position AP shown here. The first actuating unit 31 is arranged in a thread of the main catch 30.

[0068] In Fig. 5c, the restoring force of the, as shown in Fig. 5b, the ignited propellant charge returns the striking unit 20 to a cocked position in order to be caught by the catch 40 and to be ready for the next shot without manual loading by the shooter.

[0069] During the recoil of the impact unit 10, the second head catch 102 strikes against the catch catch 40 in order to pivot it about the rotation axis R4 of the catch catch bearing section 400 so that the catch catch 40 then as in Fig. 5d can engage with the second headrest 102. In doing so, the restoring force of the second restoring means 51 must be counteracted.

[0070] The safety catch 40 also has a second adjusting unit 41 designed as an adjusting screw, which is designed to variably adjust a second tilt angle between the safety catch 40 and the trigger blade 20. The second adjusting unit 41 is arranged in a thread of the safety catch 40.

[0071] The variable adjustment of the tilt angle between the catch 40 and the trigger blade 20 by the second adjusting unit 41 allows a precise adjustment of the catch function provided by the catch 40 to the recoil movement of the striking unit 10.

[0072] In Fig. 5d, the striking unit 10 is in the catch position FS, the trigger blade 20 remains in the actuating position BP, the main catch 30 remains in the release position AP, and the catch catch 40 is in the catch position FP. As a result, the catch catch 40 and the second head catch 102 are engaged at the second contact section K2.

[0073] The second contact section K2 is located in a direction different from the first contact section K1 (in Fig. 1b and Fig. 5a) and the rotational axis R2 of the main catch bearing section 300. This allows the engagement of the main catch 30 with the first head catch 101 (in Fig. 1b and Fig. 5a) at the first contact section K1 (in Fig. 1b and Fig. 5a) and the engagement of the catch 40 with the second head catch 102 at the second contact section K2 must be torque-neutral at the same time.

[0074] Fig. 6 shows a schematic side sectional view of the Fig. 1a shown trigger device 1 in a state mounted in the rifle 0, wherein the rifle 0 is in a secured setting 2.

[0075] Because the trigger blade 20 and the main catch 30 are formed in two pieces, the trigger blade 20 can pivot independently of one another about the rotational axis R2 of the trigger blade bearing section 200, and the main catch 30 can pivot independently of one another about the rotational axis R3 of the main catch bearing section 300. Thus, the main catch 30 and the first head catch 101 can engage at the first contact section K1, even though the trigger blade 20 is in the neutral position NP in the illustration shown. Thus, the rifle 0, which includes the trigger device 1 according to the invention, can also be loaded in the secured state shown.
