Description

The invention relates to a lounger and / or stab weapon for use in jagd according to the preamble of claim 1.Prior Art:Such lounge and stab weapons are generally known by the term "sauspring". They are still used jagdically today if a shot firing is not possible due to difficult conditions, the current law or the use of jagdhudones. Springs generally consist of a rod and a blade. The blade of the spring is thereby non-detachably connected to a wood rod, for example. Modern sausprings, on the other hand, are already divisible. Here, the blade can be detached from the rod. The blade may then be worn in a vagina on the belt. The rods are typically no longer manufactured from wood today. Here, high-strength plastics are already used, which significantly reduce the weight of such a weapon.However, it is common to the embodiments that in the usable state (blade mounted) there is a great risk of injury to the wearer of such a weapon. In both described embodiments, the blade is open in the assembled state. The user is not protected by the blade in the event of a fall. For protection against injuries, the blades are either covered with a sheath (old embodiment) or can be worn on the belt completely disassembled in a sheath (new embodiment). However, both lead to the weapon first having to be mounted or the cut guard having to be disassembled in order to obtain a weapon that is ready for use.Problem:A stab weapon is now to be presented which eliminates the disadvantages of both existing variants. The blade should remain firmly connected to the handle without having to disassemble it and at the same time minimize the risk of injury and accident during use and handling such a weapon.As a result of this solution, the weapon is always ready for use within the shortest time and at the same time offers protection against injuries in the secured state.A preferred embodiment of the invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.The following are shown: FIG. 1 shows the spring mounted in the ready-to-use state FIG. 2a shows a blade made of individual parts, exploded illustration FIG. 2 b shows a blade made of individual parts, assembled state FIG. 3 shows a locking slide with hollows and handling FIG. 4 shows the spring mounted in the secured state FIG. 5 is an exploded view (secured state)The object is achieved by the features of claim 1 and the following. It is first proposed to construct the spring in several parts, see FIG. 1.The spring consists in detail of:- blade (1) consisting of 1' and 1" (Fig. 2a) - Blocking slide (2) (FIG. 3 )- clamping element (3)guiding elements (4)- Support element (5)- Axis of rotation (6)- Tube receptacle (7)In a particularly advantageous variant, the blade ( 1) is embodied in multiple parts (at least 2 parts). The components which form the actual blade ( 1', 1") are subsequently connected to one another by a joining process (FIG. 2 aor FIG. 2 b).It can be seen in FIG. 2a that the actual blade (1) in the variant presented here has been assembled from 3 individual segments (1') and a carrier element (1'').These individual parts can be brought into connection with one another by, for example, thermal methods (welding, soldering, etc.) or by positive or frictional connections (FIG. 2 b ). Reforming or primary forming methods (pressing, forging,... ) are also conceivable methods in order to be able to produce such a blade-but then usually in one piece.The support element (1'') carries a cavity (8) which receives a rotation axis (6). This axis of rotation enables a pivoting movement about the carrier element (5), which likewise has a cavity corresponding to (8) and (6). The blade (1) and the carrier element (5) are connected to one another by the axis of rotation (6) such that they can pivot about the axis of rotation (6).In order to be able to fix or restrict the pivoting movement of the blade ( 1) and of the carrier element ( 5), a blocking slide ( 2) is used (FIG. 3 ).In Fig. 1, the lock slide (2) locks the rotary motion of the blade (1) about the rotation axis (6). The segments of the blade (1') come into contact with the blocking slide (2). If necessary, a minimum clearance can occur between the blade segments (1') and the blocking slide (2), which is due to production. Also conceivable here are solutions in which the blocking slide (2) comes into contact with the carrier element (1''), and the fixing takes place by the carrier element (1'').In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the blocking slide (2) - FIG. 3 - carries a plurality of hollows (10, 11, 11').A clamping element (3)-shown here as a cross grip according to DIN 6335 by way of example-clamps the blocking slide (2) and the carrier element (5) to one another and secures them against axial movement.In a further, particularly advantageous embodiment, the hollows ( 10, 11, 11') are designed in the form of elongated holes.This allows the axial displacement of the components (2, 5) relative to one another and at the same time also limits them.In a further particularly advantageous embodiment, the blocking slide (2) is provided with an outer contour (9) which is intended to facilitate the handling of the blocking slide-even with gloves and under poor weather conditions.This contour can either be selected.1.) are attached directly to the blocking slide or else2.) as an additional component, made of any material, and brought into connection with the blocking slide ( 2).In case 1) such a contour can be produced e.g. by machining methods or by cast imaging.In case 2), a separate additional component can be produced and connected to the blocking slide (positive, force or material connection). Alternatively, it is also possible to partially or completely enclose the blocking slide with a material, for example thermo- or thermosetting material.The cavities (11, 11') receive one or more guide element(s) (4, 4') which allow the axial displaceability of the locking slide (2) in only one direction and at the same time limit it (FIG. 4).If the clamping between the blocking slide (2) and the carrier element (5) is now released--the position of the blade according to FIG. 1--the blocking slide can be displaced in the direction of the clamping element (3). As a result, the blade becomes freely rotatable about the axis of rotation (6). The end position of the rotational movement of the blade is reached when the blade points vertically downwards (FIG. 4 ).In order to fix this position, the blocking slide ( 2) must be moved counter to the previous direction of movement into the end position shown in FIG. 4 and secured with the clamping element. In this position, the blocking slide (2) projects beyond the support element (1'') of the blade and thus prevents a rotational movement of the blade (1) about the support element (5).List of reference numbers:1 Blade 1' Blade in the case of a multipart design 1" Blade holder in the case of a multipart design 2 Locking slide 3 Clamping element 4 Guide elements 4' Guide element 5 Carrier element 6 Axis of rotation 7 Pipe receptacle 8 Cavity in 1" 9 External contour on the locking slide, handling 10 Cavity for clamping element (3) in (2) 11 Cavity for guide elements (4, 4') in (2) 11' Cavity for guide elements (4, 4') in (2)

Claims
