Description

[0001] The invention relates to a device for fastening a sighting device to a fastening rail of a firearm according to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the invention relates to a firearm with a device according to the invention.

[0002] Firearms, especially handguns such as sporting weapons or hunting weapons, have a wide variety of recreational uses. Firearms also play a vital role in threat prevention in police and armed forces. For aiming at a target, common firearms, especially handguns, typically feature a rear sight and a front sight. When aiming at the target, the rear sight and front sight must be aligned in order to hit the intended target. This type of target acquisition requires a very high level of training, as the alignment of the rear sight and front sight is highly inaccurate due to the short barrel of handguns.

[0003] To improve target acquisition, it is common practice to attach an aiming device to the firearm, replacing the front and rear sights. These additional sights can be, for example, a red dot sight, a prism sight, or a reflex sight, which are also commonly used on long guns.

[0004] The aiming device is attached to the firearm using generic devices, which are often also referred to as mounts. These devices can be fixed to a mounting rail on the barrel end of the firearm's grip and also allow the attachment of an aiming device available as an accessory. As a result, the device can be used to attach any desired aiming device to the firearm. The known devices for attaching an aiming device to a firearm have the disadvantage that the device must be mounted on the grip or barrel using suitable tools. Due to the need to use assembly tools, quick assembly or disassembly of the device, and thus quick attachment or removal of the aiming device from the firearm, is impossible.

[0005] The object of the present invention is therefore to propose a new device for attaching a sighting device to a firearm, in particular to a handgun, which can be assembled and, if necessary, disassembled by hand in a short time without the need for assembly tools.

[0006] This object is achieved by a device according to the teaching of claim 1.

[0007] The device according to the invention is based on the fundamental idea that a simple change of the aiming device is made possible by the fact that a sighting plate that can be connected to the aiming device can be inserted into the base plate that can be connected to the firearm, wherein the locking device arranged on the sighting plate comprises a locking element and a locking element that interacts with the locking element for releasably fixing the sighting plate to the base plate and thus for releasably fixing the aiming device to the firearm, in particular to a handgun. The locking element is movably mounted against a pressure element, whereby the locking device can be adjusted between a release position and a locked position without tools. In the release position, the locking element interacts with the locking element such that the locking element is released and is disengaged from the base plate.In the locked position, the locking element interacts with the locking element in such a way that the locking element engages the locking element on the base plate, fixing it so that the sighting plate is fixed to the base plate. In other words, this means that, provided the locking device is in the release position, the sighting plate can be separated from the base plate and preferably pushed out of the base plate. According to the invention, the transfer from the locked position to the release position for easy changing of the aiming device takes place without tools by simply actuating the locking element against the force of the pressure element. In the locked position, the engagement of the locking element in the base plate, preferably in a locking recess in the base plate that is complementary to a section of the locking element, creates a positive connection between the locking element and the base plate.In other words, the locking element engages the base plate in the locked position when the sight plate is correctly positioned relative to the base plate. It can only be released again by deliberately disengaging the locking element from the base plate to remove the sighting device from the firearm. Thus, the device according to the invention allows for a quick change of sighting devices, for example, during a shooting competition, and also ensures secure fixation of the sighting device to the firearm.

[0008] For the purposes of the invention, position designations such as "top," "left," "right," "front," "rear," and "side," apply from the shooter's perspective to a firearm in the normal firing position, firing horizontally "forward." The firing direction thus runs from back to front, and the lateral direction is perpendicular to the firing direction.

[0009] Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims. Furthermore, all combinations of at least two features disclosed in the description, the claims, and / or the figures fall within the scope of the invention. It is understood that customary linguistic transformations and analogous replacements of the respective terms within the scope of common linguistic practice, in particular the use of synonyms supported by generally accepted linguistic literature, are encompassed by the present disclosure content without being explicitly mentioned in their respective formulation.

[0010] According to a preferred embodiment, the sight plate can be inserted laterally and / or positively into the base plate. Lateral insertion allows the insertion path to be shortened, particularly since it has proven advantageous for the longitudinal extent of the sight plate to be greater than its transverse extent. Thus, the sight plate can be quickly separated from or connected to the base plate by simply inserting or removing it laterally, which can also reduce the time required to change the aiming device. Within the scope of the invention, the term "lateral insertion" refers to insertion perpendicular to the firing direction.If the sight plate can be inserted into the base plate in a form-fitting manner, the sight plate can advantageously be inserted into the base plate in a guided manner and a movement of the sight plate after insertion into the base plate can be blocked in at least two directions, preferably in and against the firing direction.

[0011] To make it easier to insert the sight plate into the base plate, the base plate can have an insertion bevel. The insertion bevel of the base plate can interact with a beveled transverse edge of the sight plate. In addition to guiding the sight plate when it is pushed into the base plate, the insertion bevel of the base plate can also serve to block movement of the sight plate relative to the base plate from bottom to top, i.e. in the vertical direction. The longitudinal extent of the insertion bevel and / or the beveled transverse edge of the sight plate preferably runs transversely to the direction of firing. Both the beveled transverse edge and the insertion bevel have an edge surface arranged at an angle to the underside of the base plate and / or the sight plate. Within the scope of the invention, the underside of the base plate and the sight plate is the side that faces the firearm when mounted.Two insertion bevels can be arranged opposite one another on the base plate, each of which interacts with a bevelled transverse edge of the sight plate.

[0012] According to an advantageous embodiment, the pressure element can be designed as a compression spring. The locking element can be spring-loaded and arranged on the compression spring. The compression spring can be easily arranged at one end of the locking element within the sight plate and can be pushed together against the spring force by applying pressure to the locking element to transfer the locking device from the locked position to the release position. Due to the spring force, the compression spring expands again after actuation of the locking element and transfers the locking device back to the locked position. In other words, if the locking device is not actuated or no pressure is applied to the locking element, the locking device is in the locked position due to the spring force, and the locking element interacts with the locking element in such a way that the locking element engages with the base plate.Preferably, the compression spring rests at one end on the locking element and at the other end on another locking element or a stop. The compression element is preferably designed as a spiral spring.

[0013] It has proven advantageous for the locking element to have a locking tongue section that engages in a locking recess of the base plate in the locked position and can be inserted into the base plate in the released position. Preferably, the locking tongue section and the locking recess of the base plate are designed to complement each other. Due to the interaction of the locking element with the locking element, the locking tongue section can be inserted from the rear to the front into the locking recess of the base plate during the transition from the released position to the locked position in the firing direction. This allows a reliable locking connection between the sight plate and the base plate to be formed.Due to the spring force that is transferred to the locking element via the locking elements, the user only has to push the visor plate into the base plate to form the locking connection between the base plate and the visor plate until the locking tongue section is pushed into the locking recess of the base plate due to the spring force and clicks into the locking recess.

[0014] The aiming device can be connected to the sighting plate by means of a screw connection and / or a plug connection. Preferably, the aiming device is connected to the sighting plate by means of a screw connection and a plug connection. The aiming device can be positioned on the sighting plate at the plug connection and fixed to the sighting plate as required by means of the screw connection. The plug connection can be established via at least two positioning bolts arranged on the sighting plate, which can be inserted into bolt recesses in the aiming device that are complementary to the positioning bolts. The firearm can be connected to the base plate by means of a screw connection and / or a plug connection. Preferably, the base plate is screwed to the firearm.

[0015] The locking element can have an actuating section and a clamping section. The actuating section of the locking element enables the user of the device to transfer the locking device from the locked position to the release position. In the locked position, the actuating section can protrude at least partially, preferably laterally, from the visor plate. The clamping section, however, is preferably accommodated within the visor plate both in the locked position and in the release position of the locking device. The clamping section forms the section of the locking element that interacts with the locking element and can come into contact with the locking element, particularly in the locked position. The locking element, comprising an actuating section and a clamping section, is preferably formed in one piece.

[0016] The locking element can have an actuating surface accessible from outside the visor plate. The user of the device can apply pressure to this actuating surface to move the locking element against the force of the pressure element and to transfer the locking device from the locked position to the release position. If no pressure is exerted on the actuating surface, the locking device returns to the locked position. The actuating surface is preferably formed on the actuating section. The actuating surface can be arranged laterally on the locking element. The actuating section of the locking element, which has an actuating surface, can be designed in the manner of an actuating button.

[0017] The locking element can have a bevel that interacts with the locking element. Preferably, the clamping portion of the locking element can have a bevel that interacts with the locking element. The bevel is preferably designed to slope downwards from the inside to the outside, as viewed from above. In other words, as viewed from above, the clamping portion of the locking element has the greatest height at the end of the clamping portion against which the spring rests, and the smallest height at the end facing away from the spring. Due to the bevel, the clamping portion can be wedge-shaped.

[0018] The locking element can have a triangular or arcuate limiting recess that limits the movement of the locking element. The limiting recess can be arranged, in plan view, at the rear end of the locking element relative to the firing direction. In the locked position, the locking element, in particular the clamping section of the locking element, can come into contact with the limiting recess. By means of the limiting recess, the movement of the locking element can be effectively limited and the locking element can be reliably prevented from sliding out of the sight plate. Preferably, the triangular or arcuate limiting recess interacts with a slope of the clamping section. If the limiting recess is triangular, the limiting recess can have two walls arranged at an angle to one another, which interact with a locking element.Preferably, each of the walls of the triangular limiting recess interacts with a locking element so that the movement of the respective locking element is limited.

[0019] The locking element can have a receiving recess for receiving the pressure element, wherein the pressure element can be at least partially inserted into the receiving recess. This advantageously results in the pressure element being secured in the receiving recess and cannot fall out of the sighting plate, for example when the sighting plate is detached from the aiming device. It is further advantageous that the pressure element is secured against displacement relative to the locking element within the receiving recess, particularly when pressure is applied to the locking element, thereby preventing malfunctions, in particular blockages of the locking device. The receiving recess can be designed to complement the cross-section of the pressure element. For example, the receiving recess can be designed as a bore and accommodate a pressure element with a round cross-section, for example a compression spring.

[0020] According to a further embodiment, the sight plate can be permanently connected to the aiming device. The sight plate can be integrated into the aiming device and formed integrally therewith. It is also conceivable for the base plate to be permanently connected to the firearm. The base plate can be integrated into the firearm and formed integrally therewith. This advantageously reduces the number of individual parts and minimizes assembly and manufacturing costs. Furthermore, unintentional loosening of a detachable connection, for example a screw connection, between the base plate and the firearm and / or between the sight plate and the aiming device can be prevented.

[0021] According to a preferred embodiment, the locking device of the device for attaching a sighting device can have two locking elements that can be arranged to move toward one another counter to the force of the pressure element. If the locking device comprises two locking elements, the pressure element can be arranged between the locking elements, and both locking elements can be moved toward one another by the user counter to the force of the pressure element. By moving the locking elements toward one another, the locking device is transferred to the release position, in which the locking elements no longer exert pressure on the locking element, so that the locking element can be pushed back into the sighting plate and the locking connection between the base plate and sighting plate is released.If the pressure on the two locking elements is released, the pressure element causes the locking elements to be displaced outwards so that they protrude at least partially beyond an outer edge of the visor plate and also transfer a force to the locking element within the visor plate. This force causes the locking element to be brought into engagement with the base plate and a locking connection is formed between the base plate and the locking device mounted on the visor plate. The visor plate is thus fixed to the base plate in the locked position and, according to the preferred embodiment, can only be released when both locking elements are actuated. The locking elements are preferably arranged opposite one another and, in the locked position, protrude at least partially from the visor plate on two different sides.The fact that two locking elements are included means that unintentional activation of the locking device by the user can be effectively prevented, since the locking connection between the visor plate and the base plate can only be released if both locking elements are activated simultaneously.

[0022] The device can preferably be used to attach red dot sights, prism sights or reflex sights to a firearm.

[0023] In a second aspect, the invention relates to a firearm with a previously described device for attaching a sighting device. The described device according to the invention is universally applicable and can therefore interact with a variety of different firearms. Preferably, the base plate of the device is detachably or permanently connected to the barrel of the firearm. The base plate is preferably arranged relative to the barrel of the firearm such that the longitudinal axis of the base plate runs parallel to the longitudinal axis of the barrel of the firearm, and the sighting plate can be inserted into the base plate transversely to the longitudinal axis of the barrel.

It is also understood that the aforementioned embodiments and exemplary embodiments, which will be explained below, relate in an equivalent or at least similar manner to the firearm according to the invention, without being mentioned separately for this purpose.

[0027] The Figures 1 to 4show the device 01 according to the invention with a firearm 02, wherein the device 01 enables the attachment of the aiming device 03 to the firearm 02. For attaching the aiming device 03 to the firearm 02, the sighting plate 05 is connected to the aiming device 03 designed as a reflex sight. The base plate 06, in turn, is connected to the firearm 02, in particular to the barrel 12 of the firearm 02. For simple and quick replacement of the aiming device 03, the sighting plate 05 can be inserted into the base plate 06 transversely to the firing direction.

[0028] From the Figure 5The exploded view shown shows that the base plate 06 can be fastened to the fastening interface 04 of the firearm 02 by means of fastening screws 11. A screw connection is also formed between the aiming device 03 and the sighting plate 05 by the fastening screws 10. Upon actuation of the locking elements 07 of the locking device 70 mounted on the sighting plate 05, the locking element 08 can be retracted into the interior of the sighting plate 05, thus moving the locking device 70 into the release position and the sighting plate 05 into the base plate 06 or out of the base plate 06.

[0029] A summary of the Figures 5 and 6The exploded views shown show the structure and functioning of the device 01 according to the invention for attaching a sighting device 03 to a firearm 02. The base plate 06 of the device 01 can be attached to the attachment interface 04 of the firearm 02 by means of the fastening screws 11. The sighting plate 05, in which the locking device 70 is received, can be connected to the sighting device 03 with the fastening screws 10. Once the sighting device 03 and sighting plate 05 are connected to one another, they can be attached together to the firearm 02 by inserting the sighting plate 05 into the base plate 06 transversely to the firing direction. The insertion bevels 13 serve to guide the sighting plate 05 into or out of the base plate 06.The longitudinal extension of the insertion bevel 13 and the beveled transverse edge 14 of the sight plate 05 runs transversely to the firing direction. The insertion bevel 13 has an edge surface 15 arranged at an angle to the underside 62 of the base plate 06. The beveled transverse edge 14 has an edge surface 16 arranged at an angle to the underside 52 of the sight plate 05. Two insertion bevels 13 are formed on the base plate 06, each of which interacts with a beveled transverse edge 14 of the sight plate 05.

[0030] As is particularly the case Figure 6As can be seen, the locking device 70 according to the present embodiment comprises a latching element 08 and two locking elements 07, wherein the pressure element 09, which in this case is designed in the manner of a compression spring, is mounted between the locking elements 07. The locking elements 07 can be pushed into the sighting plate 05 against the force of the pressure element 09 in order to transfer the locking device 70 into the release position. In the release position, the latching element 08 is disengaged from the base plate 06. This means that the latching tongue section 81 does not engage in the latching recess 61 of the base plate 06 and thus the sighting plate 05 can be moved relative to the base plate 06.If the user releases the locking elements 07, these are at least partially displaced out of the sighting plate 05 due to the force of the pressure element 09 transversely to the firing direction, wherein the clamping sections 72 come into contact with the locking element 08, in particular within the limiting recess 82 of the locking element 08, and exert a force on the locking element 08, so that when the sighting plate 05 is correctly positioned relative to the base plate 06, the locking tongue section 81 of the locking element 08 engages in the locking recess 61 of the base plate 06 in order to fix the sighting plate 05 to the base plate 06. As can be seen from . Figure 6 As can be seen, the aiming device 03, before it is fastened to the sighting plate 05 with the fastening screws 10, can be positioned using the positioning bolts 51 provided on the sighting plate 05, which interact with positioning recesses of the aiming device 03 that are not visible in the illustration shown.

[0031] The Figures 7a to 8b show the device 01 according to the invention with the aiming device 03 attached to the sighting plate 05. Figures 7a and 8a the locking device 70 in the locking position and the Figures 7b and 8b the locking device 70 in the release position. It is evident that, if the locking device 70 is moved into the locking position, as shown in the Figures 7a and 8ashown, the locking element 08, which at least partially protrudes from the sighting plate 05, engages in the locking recess 61 of the base plate 06, whereby the sighting plate 05 with the aiming device 03 arranged thereon is fixed to the base plate 06. The movement of the sighting plate 05 relative to the base plate 06 transversely to the firing direction is blocked by the interaction of the locking element 08 with the locking recess 61 of the base plate 06. Fixing along the firing direction and thus preventing displacement of the sighting plate 05 relative to the base plate 06 in the firing direction is achieved by the interaction of the front and rear walls of the base plate 06 and the front and rear walls of the sighting plate 05, in particular due to the interaction of the insertion bevels 13 of the base plate 06 and the beveled transverse edge 14 of the sighting plate 05. Furthermore, it is clear from a synopsis of the Figures 7a to 8bIt can be seen that in the release position of the locking device 70, the locking elements 07 are displaced towards the longitudinal axis of the sight plate 05 and are thus displaced into the sight plate 05 in order to enable the locking element 08 to be withdrawn from the locking recess 61 of the base plate 06. In other words, the locking device 70 can be transferred into the release position by a user applying pressure to the two locking elements 07, preferably the actuating surfaces 73 of the locking elements 07.If the user releases the locking elements 07, i.e. no longer exerts pressure on the locking elements 07, the locking elements 07 are again at least partially displaced out of the visor plate 05 due to the pressure element 09 mounted between the locking elements 07, wherein the clamping sections 72 of the locking elements 07 exert a force on the locking element 08, so that the locking tongue section 81 of the locking element 08 is displaced out of the visor plate 05 when the visor plate 05 is correctly positioned relative to the base plate 06 and engages in the locking recess 61 of the base plate 06.

[0032] The Figures 9a to 11b show the device 01 in isolation, with the locking device 70 in the locking position ( Figures 9a , 10a , 11a ) and in release position ( Figures 9b , 10b , 11b ) is shown in different views. From the overview of the Figures 9a to 11bThe functioning of the device 01 according to the invention and in particular of the locking device 70 accommodated in the sighting plate 05 is clearly shown. In order to enable a simple replacement of a sighting device 03 arranged on the sighting plate 05, but not shown here, the locking device 70 can be removed from the Figures 9a , 10a and 11a shown locking position into the position shown in the Figures 9b , 10b and 11bshown release position. While the locking element 08 with its locking tongue section 81 still engages in the locking recess 61 of the base plate 06 in the locking position of the locking device 70 and thus blocks movement of the sighting plate 05 relative to the base plate 06, the locking tongue section 81 is no longer in engagement with the locking recess 61 in the release position and thus also no longer in engagement with the base plate 06, so that the sighting plate 05 can be pushed out of the base plate 06 transversely to the firing direction or transversely to the longitudinal axis of the sighting plate 05. The interaction of the transverse edges 14 of the sighting plate 05 with the insertion bevels 13 of the base plate 06 guides the sighting plate 05 when sliding relative to the base plate 06, so that tilting and / or incorrect positioning of the sighting plate 05 relative to the base plate 06 can be ruled out. Figures 9a to 11bIt can be seen that the locking element 08 has a locking tongue section 81 and a limiting recess 82. The locking elements 07 have an externally accessible actuating surface 73 and consist essentially of a clamping section 72 and an actuating section 71, wherein the actuating surface 73 is provided on the actuating section 71. Between the clamping sections 72 of the locking elements 07, the pressure element 09, which according to the present embodiment is designed as a compression spring, is mounted in a respective receiving recess 75 of the two locking elements 07, so that the locking elements 07 can be moved towards one another by pressure on the actuating surfaces 73, counter to the force of the pressure element 09.If a corresponding movement of the locking elements 07 occurs due to the application of pressure to the actuating surfaces 73, the locking elements 07 move towards one another, and the clamping sections 72, in particular the bevels 74 of each of the clamping sections 72 of the locking elements 07, interact with the limiting recess 82 of the locking element 08 such that the locking element 08 can be pushed back into the visor plate 04 in the direction of the locking elements 07 and disengages from the locking recess 61 of the base plate 06. If the locking tongue section 81 of the base plate 08 no longer engages with the locking recess 61 of the base plate 06, the locking device 70 is moved into the release position, and the visor plate 05 can be displaced relative to the base plate 06. Preferably, the limiting recess 82 of the locking element 08 is designed to be complementary to the clamping sections 72 of the locking elements 07.According to the present embodiment, the limiting recess 82 is triangular, while the slope 74 of the locking elements 07 is triangular with respect to the one shown in . Figure 9bshown top view slopes from the inside outwards, i.e. away from the longitudinal axis of the sighting plate 05, which runs parallel to the firing direction. However, it is essential that, regardless of the design of the locking elements 07 and the locking element 08, the locking elements 07 and the locking element 08 interact in such a way that the locking element 08 can be displaced into the release position in the sighting plate 05 away from the locking recess 61 of the base plate 06, so that the locking element 08 is no longer in engagement with the base plate 06.When transferred to the locked position, it has proven important that the locking elements 07, regardless of their geometric design, exert a force on the locking element 08, so that this force presses the locking element 08 into the locking recess 61 of the base plate 06 in the firing direction and / or against the firing direction when the base plate 06 and the sighting plate 05 are correctly positioned relative to one another, so that the locking element 08 engages in the locking recess 61 of the base plate 06. In this case, it is clear from the combination of the . Figures 9a to 11bagain shows that in the release position the locking elements 07 are moved towards one another and are almost completely accommodated within the visor plate 05. In contrast, in the locked position the locking elements 07, in particular the actuating sections 71 of the locking elements 07, protrude from the visor plate 05 so that the actuating surfaces 73 of the locking elements 07 are accessible to a user from outside the visor plate 05. At the same time, in the locked position the clamping sections 72 of the locking elements 07, in particular the bevels 74 of the locking elements 07, interact with the locking element 08, in particular the limiting recess 82, in such a way that the locking elements 07 are secured within the visor plate 05 and cannot be completely separated from the locking element 08 or removed from the visor plate 05.

[0033] The Figures 12a and 12b each show the device 01 according to the invention in plan view, wherein in Figure 12a the left locking element 07 and in Figure 12b the right locking element 07 is inserted into the sight plate 05. Based on the Figures 12a and 12b The advantage of the arrangement of two locking elements 07, which interact with the locking element 08, can be seen. Figures 12a and 12b It is clear that a transfer from the locking position to the release position can only take place if both locking elements 07 are actuated simultaneously and moved towards each other into the sight plate 05. The actuation of one locking element 07 alone is sufficient, as shown in the Figures 12a and 12bshown, is not sufficient, since the other non-actuated locking element 07 further secures the locking element 08 within the locking recess 61 of the base plate 06 and thus the sight plate 05 continues to be fixed to the base plate 06. The embodiment of the device 01 shown here with a locking device 70 comprising two locking elements 07 therefore reliably prevents an unintentional detachment of the sight plate 05 from the base plate 06, for example due to an unintentional actuation of one of the locking elements 07.

[0034] The Figures 13 to 20b show the device 01 according to a second embodiment. In the Figures 13 to 15The aiming device 03 is shown mounted on the firearm 02. For this purpose, the sighting plate 05 integrated into the aiming device 03 is inserted into the base plate 06 integrated into the firearm 02. To fix the aiming device 03 to the firearm 02, the locking device 70 is moved into the locked position so that the locking element 08 engages in the locking recess 61 of the base plate 06.

[0035] Figure 16 shows the firearm 02 and the aiming device 03 with integrated sight plate 05, detached from the base plate 06 integrated into the firearm 02, as well as the locking device 70 in an exploded view. The locking elements 07, the locking element 08, and the pressure element 09 of the locking device 70, designed as a compression spring, can be seen in the exploded view. These elements are at least partially accommodated within the sight plate 05 when assembled.

[0036] The Figures 17a to 19bshow the device 01 according to the invention according to the second embodiment on the firearm 02 in an enlarged view. Figures 17a , 18a , 19ashow the device with the locking device 70 in the locked position, wherein the locking element 08 engages in the fastening plate 06 and a locking connection is formed between the fastening plate 06 and the locking device 70 accommodated in the visor plate 05. It can be seen that the locking elements 07 are actuated to transfer the locking device 70 into the release position and are pushed into the visor plate 05. If no pressure is exerted on the locking elements 07, the locking device returns to the release position by the locking elements 07 being pushed out of the visor plate 05 by a portion due to the force of the pressure element 09, whereby the actuating section 71 is accessible and actuable from the outside. The device 01 with the locking device 70 in the release position is shown in the Figures 17b , 18b and 19b shown.

[0037] The Figures 19a and 19bshow the aiming device 03 with integrated sighting plate 05 in a stand-alone position in a view from below, with the locking device 70 in the locked position in Figure 19a and in release position in Figure 19b In order to enable a simple replacement of the aiming device 03 which is permanently connected to the sighting plate 05, the locking device 70 can be detached from the Figure 19a shown locking position into the position shown in the Figure 19bshown release position. While the locking element 08 with its locking tongue section 81 still engages in the locking recess 61 of the base plate 06 (not shown here) in the locking position of the locking device 70 and thus blocks movement of the sighting plate 05 relative to the base plate 06, the locking tongue section 81 is no longer in engagement with the base plate 06 in the release position, so that the sighting plate 05 can be pushed out of the base plate 06 transversely to the firing direction or transversely to the longitudinal axis of the sighting plate 05.

[0038] The Figures 13 to 20b The device 01 shown corresponds largely to that according to the Figures 1 to 12b, but differs from this in that the base plate 06 is integrated into the firearm 02, in this case the barrel 12 of the firearm 02, and the sighting plate 05 is integrated into the aiming device 03. In other words, the base plate 06 is permanently connected to the firearm 02 and the sighting plate 05 is permanently connected to the aiming device 03. This advantageously reduces the number of individual parts and minimizes assembly and manufacturing costs.

[0039] Otherwise, the structure and function of the device 01 of the second embodiment correspond to the Figures 13 to 20b the first embodiment according to the Figures 1 to 12b , which is why, to avoid repetition, reference is made to the relevant description. List of reference symbols
