Description

[0001] The invention relates to a mounting device for attaching an accessory, in particular a sighting device, to a handgun according to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the invention relates to a handgun with a mounting device according to the invention.

[0002] Mounting devices of this type are used to attach accessories, such as sights, lights, or the like, to a firearm. Firearms, especially handguns, have a shorter barrel compared to long guns and are widely used in recreational activities. Handguns are also of great importance to law enforcement and military forces for threat prevention. To aim at a target, conventional handguns are typically equipped with a rear and front sight. When aiming, the front and rear sights must be aligned to hit the intended target. This type of aiming requires a very high level of training, as the alignment of the front and rear sights can be highly inaccurate due to the short barrel of handguns.

[0003] To improve target acquisition when aiming, it is common practice to attach a sighting device to the firearm, replacing the traditional iron sights. These additional sighting devices can be, for example, red dot sights, prism sights, or reflex sights, which are also commonly used on long guns. Mounting devices, often referred to simply as mounts, are used to attach the sighting device to the firearm. These devices can be fixed to a mounting rail at the barrel end of the firearm's grip and simultaneously allow for the attachment of a sighting device available as an accessory. As a result, the device allows the user to attach a sighting device of their choice to the firearm.The known devices for attaching a aiming device to a firearm have the disadvantage that they are expensive to manufacture and must be adapted to each individual weapon.

[0004] Furthermore, especially with short accessory components, such as red dot sights of lens or laser optical design, a connection of the accessory to the weapon at a single mounting point is preferred. This places particularly high demands on the precise alignment of the accessory with the weapon's barrel. From the prior art, it is known in possible embodiments that the accessory and / or the base plate has a pivot pin, which serves for a swivel mounting with a locking mechanism of the accessory to the weapon.

[0005] The mounting devices derived from the prior art share the common feature of being mounted on a base plate already provided on the weapon. This means the weapon must already possess design features suitable for mounting an accessory, such as a sufficiently large base plate. However, there is also a need to attach accessories to weapons that lack a base plate or have an unsuitable one for mounting, but instead have a different type of interface, such as a recess. Furthermore, the accessories should enable simple positioning, fixing, and securing of the accessory on the weapon.

[0006] Based on this prior art, the object of the present invention is to propose a new mounting device for attaching an accessory to a handgun, which can be easily and quickly positioned, fixed, and secured on the weapon. The mounting device should also allow for easy and quick replacement of the accessory.

[0007] This problem is solved by an assembly device according to claim 1.

[0008] The mounting device according to the invention serves to attach an accessory, in particular a sighting device, to a handgun which has at least one ferromagnetic part, in particular a ferromagnetic slide, wherein the mounting device comprises a base plate on which the accessory can be attached. Preferably, the base plate can be attached to a contact surface of the handgun, wherein the contact surface is formed in the area of ​​the slide of the handgun and this area consists of a ferromagnetic material. Within the scope of the invention, the contact surface relates to the area of ​​the handgun, in particular the area of ​​the slide of the handgun, against which the mounting device is brought into contact. According to the invention, a base plate has at least one magnetic device arranged directly or indirectly in the base plate, which comprises at least one magnet.The base plate is provided with a surface facing away from the handgun for attaching the accessory and a mounting surface facing the handgun. This mounting surface is essentially complementary in form and function to the corresponding contact surface on the weapon, such that when the mounting device is attached to the handgun, the mounting surface at least partially abuts the contact surface or is positioned opposite it at a small distance.

[0009] In other words, the positioning and attachment of the mounting device to the handgun can initially be achieved through the magnetic force between the mounting device's magnetic element and the ferromagnetic area of ​​the weapon opposite this magnetic element. Furthermore, the positioning of the mounting device on the handgun can be further simplified by a positive fit of the base plate to the corresponding area of ​​the handgun's contact surface, for example, a section of the slide, preferably an area above the grip or magazine. This alone results in repeatable attachment and removal of the mounting device. For example, the slide and grip of the handgun are typically made of ferromagnetic steel, which can interact with the at least one magnet of the magnetic element used to attach the mounting device to the handgun.

[0010] The final fixing of the device to the handgun, both against unintentional loosening and to absorb the recoil forces acting during firing, is achieved, according to the basic concept of the invention, by the locking mechanism. The locking mechanism is adjustable between a release position and a locked position, wherein at least one detent element of the locking mechanism, in the locked position, engages with an interface of the handgun to lock the base plate to the handgun. Preferably, the locking mechanism is adjustable between the release and locked positions without tools. Advantageously, the mounting device can be removed from the handgun in the release position of the locking mechanism by overcoming the magnetic force of the magnetic device, since in the release position the detent element of the locking mechanism is disengaged from the interface of the handgun.In the locked position, at least one detent element of the locking device engages at the interface with the handgun, thus locking the mounting device to the handgun. The interface with the handgun is preferably located on the slide of the handgun in the area of ​​the handgun's contact surface. The interface can be designed as a recess extending transversely to the firing direction, i.e., transversely to the longitudinal extent of the base plate and / or the slide of the handgun. This reliably prevents movement of the base plate due to the forces occurring during firing in at least two directions: in and against the firing direction.The interface, designed as a recess, preferably has at least one detent contour that can interact with a detent element of the locking device such that, in the locked position, a positive fit is formed between the detent element and the recess. Preferably, the recess has two detent contours designed as undercuts, each of which can interact with a detent element. The recess can be designed simply as an undercut groove, with the groove flanks inclined relative to the groove base, thus each forming an undercut. In the locked position of the locking device, the prismatic longitudinal edge of a detent element can be brought into contact with an inclined groove flank of the recess to form a positive fit.The locking mechanism enables reliable locking of the mounting device on the handgun, combined with high aiming precision, as the same relative position to the weapon can be easily achieved every time it is mounted.

[0011] In summary, the mounting device according to the invention enables simple positioning and attachment of the base plate to a handgun and subsequent reliable locking of the base plate to the handgun. Thus, the mounting device is advantageously already attached to the handgun via the magnetic device when the user operates the locking mechanism, which significantly simplifies the transition of the locking mechanism from the release position to the locked position, since the mounting device is already positioned on the slide of the weapon. The mounting device according to the invention is based on the fundamental principle that the positioning of the mounting device is achieved using the magnetic device and the locking mechanism is used for locking.The locking element of the locking device can engage positively in the interface of the handgun in the locked position, thus preventing the mounting device from being subsequently removed. Only by deliberately disengaging the locking element from the interface can the mounting device be released and removed from the handgun against the magnetic force.

[0012] The magnetic assembly can initially be of any design, as long as the holding force required for fixation between the mounting device and the handgun can be applied. The magnetic assembly can have at least one magnet, which is arranged in a recess in the mounting surface of the base plate and is essentially flush with the mounting surface or protrudes slightly beyond it. A plurality of magnets, preferably two, can be used in a static or regular arrangement. The magnetic elements can themselves come into contact with the associated contact surface on the handgun. The recess in the base plate can be completely or partially open towards the mounting surface. Preferably, however, the recess in the base plate for receiving a magnet is closed towards the mounting surface, thereby reliably preventing direct contact between the magnets and the weapon.The magnets can be firmly arranged in their recesses, for example glued in place, or slightly movable, so that attachment to the handgun is ensured under all circumstances.

[0013] Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims. The scope of the invention also includes all combinations of at least two features disclosed in the description, the claims, and / or the figures. It is understood that the embodiments described for the mounting device apply equivalently to the handgun according to the invention, without being specifically mentioned for it. In particular, it is understood that linguistic transformations or a meaningful substitution of respective terms within the scope of usual linguistic practice, especially the use of synonyms supported by generally accepted linguistic literature, are included in the present disclosure without being explicitly mentioned in their respective formulations.

[0014] According to a preferred embodiment, the locking device for reliably securing the mounting device to the handgun can have two locking elements, wherein at least one first locking element is slidably mounted against a spring force. Preferably, the first locking element is slidable against a spring force in the firing direction. The second locking element is preferably fixed relative to the first locking element. In the release position, the two locking elements are disengaged from the handgun, in particular disengaged from the interface of the handgun. In the locked position, the two locking elements are engaged in a fixing manner at the interface, which is preferably located in the slide of the handgun, i.e., the locking elements engage positively at the interface of the handgun, engaging behind the interface.The locking elements can be designed as prismatic jaws, the outer contour of which is complementary to the locking contour of the interface of the short weapon.

[0015] The second locking element can preferably be fixedly attached to the base plate, so that the second locking element is immovable relative to the base plate. Thus, the first locking element, which is slidably arranged relative to the base plate, is also slidable relative to the second locking element. Preferably, the first locking element can be moved towards the second locking element against a spring force. The second locking element can be easily fixed to the base plate by means of a screw connection. For this purpose, the second locking element can have a bore with an internal thread into which a screw passing through the base plate can be screwed.

[0016] The locking device can be accommodated in a recess of the base plate. In particular, at least the detent elements of the locking device are accommodated in the base plate. According to this embodiment, the locking device can be protected from external influences, and the space required for the mounting device can be minimized. If the locking device is accommodated in a recess of the base plate and, in addition, the magnetic device is arranged within the base plate, the external dimensions of the mounting device are essentially defined by the dimensions of the base plate. In other words, the space required for the mounting device is determined by the space required for the base plate. The base plate can thus form a housing for the magnetic device and the locking device.

[0017] According to a preferred embodiment, the longitudinal axis of the locking element runs transversely to the longitudinal axis of the base plate. When the mounting device is attached to the handgun, the longitudinal axis of the locking element then runs transversely to the longitudinal axis of the slide and thus transversely to the firing direction. This allows the recoil forces occurring when firing the handgun to be reliably absorbed, and ensures that the mounting device is securely locked in place due to the positive engagement between the locking element and the interface of the handgun.

[0018] At least one spring element can be arranged between the two locking elements. The two locking elements can be arranged to move towards each other against the force of the spring element. Preferably, a first, slidably arranged locking element is movable towards the second, stationary locking element against the force of the spring element. The at least one spring element can be brought into contact with a receiving opening of a locking element. To secure the spring element between the two locking elements, one end of each spring element can be brought into contact with a receiving opening of each locking element. To enable smooth movement of the first locking element towards the second locking element, two spring elements are preferably arranged between the two locking elements. The spring element can, for example, be designed as a coil spring.

[0019] The locking device can be actuated by means of an actuating element. Actuation of the actuating element causes the first movable detent element to shift relative to the base plate in the direction of the second fixed detent element. The base plate can have a receiving recess for the actuating element, wherein the actuating element can be inserted at least partially into the receiving recess and, in the release position of the locking device, protrudes at least partially from the receiving recess. The actuating element is thus accessible to the user from the outside. Furthermore, the actuating element can be formed integrally, i.e., monolithically, with a detent element, preferably with the movable first detent element. This allows for a particularly simple shifting of the first detent element by means of the actuating element.The actuating element can be designed as a push button, whereby applying pressure to the push button causes the first movable detent element to move relative to the base plate in the direction of the second fixed detent element. To secure the locking device in the locked position, the mounting device can include a locking device. The locking device ensures that the locking device cannot be unintentionally moved from the locked position to the released position. In particular, the locking device secures the actuating element of the locking device against unintentional actuation. This is preferably achieved by blocking the movement of the actuating element.

[0020] To secure the locking device in the locked position, the locking device may include a locking element that can be inserted into a recess of the actuating element and prevents unintentional actuation of the actuating element. The locking element may be designed as a pin that can be inserted into the recess of the actuating element. The pin is inserted into or extends through the recess of the actuating element and interacts with the locking device in such a way that movement of the actuating element, and consequently displacement of the movable first detent element, is prevented. The locking element can be fixed within the recess of the actuating element without tools by means of a toggle lever or clamping lever.However, it has proven advantageous if the locking element is a threaded stud that can be screwed into the actuating element and / or a detent element, for example with a screwdriver or wrench.

[0021] According to an advantageous embodiment, the pin extends through the base plate and at least one locking element, and can be brought into contact with a further locking element. Preferably, the pin extends through the actuating element, the base plate, and the first movable locking element, and comes into contact with the second fixed locking element. The pin interacts with the first and second locking elements in such a way that movement of the first locking element toward the second locking element is prevented. The second locking element can have a receiving opening for the pin, with the pin coming into contact with the second locking element within the receiving opening.To prevent disturbance or impairment of the user and also to avoid unintentional actuation of the actuating element when firing the handgun, the pin can preferably be inserted into the locking device, in particular into the recess of the actuating element, in the direction of firing and / or along the longitudinal extent of the base plate, wherein the longitudinal extent of the base plate and the direction of firing coincide according to a preferred embodiment of the invention. Furthermore, it has proven advantageous if the pressure applied to the actuating element, in particular to a push button, also occurs in the direction of firing and / or along the longitudinal extent of the base plate.

[0022] The actuating element and / or at least one detent element can have an internal thread into which the threaded stud, with its external thread, can be screwed. Thus, a releasable screw connection can be formed between the external thread of the threaded stud and the internal thread of the actuating element and / or the internal thread of the at least one detent element. Preferably, the recess of the actuating element and the movable first detent element each have an internal thread whose longitudinal axes are aligned, so that the threaded stud can be screwed through the actuating element and the first detent element. The threaded stud can be easily screwed in using a hexagonal key, the socket of which is designed to fit through an internal hexagon socket located on the end face of the stud.Tightening the threaded stud using a tool, especially a hex key, allows the application of the required tightening torque and thus a secure screw connection.

[0023] According to one embodiment of the invention, the base plate can have a mounting surface on its underside, wherein the mounting surface can be formed from a flat central surface and two curved side surfaces adjoining the central surface laterally. This design of the underside of the base plate advantageously results in the base plate having a shape on its underside, i.e., on the side facing the handgun in the mounted state, that is adapted to the contour of the handgun's slide in the area of ​​the contact surface. Due to this design of the base plate, unwanted displacement of the base plate relative to the handgun transversely to the longitudinal extent of the handgun's slide, caused by the contact of the side surfaces with the slide, can be prevented.The mounting surface can have a cylindrical shell shape, the diameter of which essentially corresponds to the diameter of the slide of the short weapon in the area of ​​the contact surface.

[0024] To enable aiming at a target with the handgun even if the accessory part attached to the mounting device, in particular a sighting device, fails, or even when used in conjunction with an accessory part, an auxiliary sight consisting of a rear and front sight can be arranged on the base plate. It has proven advantageous if the accessory part is positioned between the rear and front sights. Preferably, the optical axis of the auxiliary sight coincides with the optical axis of an accessory part designed as a sighting device, so that the user can see through the sighting device when aiming at a target using the rear and front sights. Within the scope of the invention, it was recognized that, as with generic mounting devices, the sights consisting of the rear and front sights on the handgun are generally no longer usable when an accessory part is attached.However, according to the present embodiment, even if the sights consisting of the rear and front sights on the short-range weapon are no longer usable, the auxiliary sights consisting of the rear and front sights on the base plate are advantageously still available as an aiming aid in the event of failure of the additional part.

[0025] A shielding element can be arranged between the magnetic assembly and the accessory to block a magnetic field, preventing the function of the accessory, particularly a targeting device, from being undesirably affected by the magnets' magnetic field. It is conceivable that the shielding element be a plate or film with magnetic shielding properties arranged between the magnetic assembly and the accessory. Preferably, the shielding element is designed as a film, making it easy to handle and resulting in a thin profile. The shielding element can be made of a cobalt alloy or a nickel-iron alloy. Preferably, the shielding element is arranged on the surface of the base plate or in the recess that accommodates the magnets of the magnetic assembly.Thus, by using the shielding element, the additional part can be protected from damage caused by the magnetic field of the magnets of the magnetic device.

[0026] To ensure sufficient stability and easy assembly of the mounting device, it has proven advantageous for the base plate to be formed in one piece, i.e., monolithically. If an auxiliary sight is provided on the base plate, the base plate and the auxiliary sight are preferably formed monolithically together. The base plate can be manufactured, for example, by milling.

[0027] It has proven advantageous to have an adapter recess in the surface of the base plate. An adapter plate can be received in the adapter recess, and the adapter plate can be used to position and / or attach the accessory, in particular a sighting device, to the base plate. The adapter plate is preferably shaped to be complementary to the adapter recess. In other words, the adapter plate can be inserted into the adapter recess and is secured within it by a positive fit. The adapter plate is preferably trapezoidal. To position the accessory on the surface of the base plate between the front and rear sights of the base plate, the adapter recess can be incorporated into the surface of the base plate between the front and rear sights of the mounting device.The adapter recess preferably does not extend completely through the base plate, but has a defined depth corresponding to the thickness of the adapter plate. The adapter recess can be located in the base plate above the magnetic device. According to the invention, the surface of the base plate is located on the top side of the base plate, with the top side being the side of the base plate facing away from the weapon when mounted.

[0028] The adapter plate can have at least one positioning pin for positioning an accessory on the surface of the base plate. Preferably, the adapter plate has two positioning pins for positioning an accessory on the surface of the base plate. Using the at least one positioning pin, the accessory can be easily positioned on the base plate by means of a plug-in connection and, if necessary, subsequently screwed to the base plate. The plug-in connection can be made via the positioning pin, preferably via two positioning pins, which can be inserted into pin recesses in the accessory that are complementary to the positioning pins. In other words, when the accessory is placed on the base plate, it can be plugged onto the positioning pins and thus correctly oriented relative to the base plate. Additionally, the accessory can be screwed to the base plate.Preferably, the adapter plate can be connected to the base plate by means of a screw connection and a plug connection. Furthermore, it has proven advantageous if the adapter plate at least partially forms the surface of the base plate. This allows the adapter plate to easily complete the surface of the base plate, thereby also completing and maximizing the contact area for the adapter plate. The adapter plate can have a base plate and at least one positioning pin arranged on the base plate and extending upwards when mounted. Preferably, the base plate of the adapter plate is trapezoidal. If the adapter plate at least partially forms the surface of the base plate, the surface of the adapter plate's base plate and the surface of the base plate form a flat surface by being flush with each other.The depth of the adapter recess then corresponds to the thickness of the base plate. Within the scope of the invention, the term "base plate" relates to a flat piece of material, in particular a rigid material, having the same thickness throughout and bounded on two opposite sides by a flat surface that is very large in relation to its thickness.

[0029] To ensure sufficient stability and easy assembly of the mounting device, it has proven advantageous for the adapter plate to be formed in one piece, i.e., monolithically. If at least one positioning pin is provided on the adapter plate, the adapter plate is preferably formed monolithically together with the at least one positioning pin. The adapter plate can, for example, be manufactured by milling.

[0030] In a further aspect, the invention relates to a mounting system comprising a mounting device according to any embodiment of the invention and a plurality, in particular different, adapter plates that can be interchangeably received in the adapter recess. This provides a set of preferably different adapter plates from which a suitable adapter plate can be selected in a situation-optimized manner, particularly depending on the additional part to be attached. The different adapter plates can preferably differ in the number of positioning pins and / or the arrangement of the positioning pins on the base plate of the adapter plate. Preferably, the base plate of the plurality of different adapter plates is identical, so that the adapter plates differ only in the design and / or arrangement of the positioning pins.Within the scope of the invention, it was recognized that attaching different accessories, particularly different aiming devices, may necessitate different designs of the mounting device. The mounting system offers the advantage that when switching between different accessories, especially different aiming devices, it is not necessary to change the entire mounting device, but rather only the adapter plate can be easily replaced. Accordingly, the mounting system comprises different adapter plates, each providing a mounting option for a specific accessory, particularly a specific aiming device.In summary, the mounting device with an adapter plate, and in particular the mounting system comprising a mounting device and a variety of different adapter plates, is flexible and universally applicable and, in particular, adaptable to different additional parts.

[0031] The mounting device can preferably be used to attach an accessory in the form of a red dot sight, prism sight or reflex sight to a handgun.

[0032] In a second aspect, the invention relates to a handgun with a mounting device described above for attaching an accessory to the handgun. The device described above is universally applicable and can therefore be used with a variety of different handguns. Preferably, the base plate of the mounting device is detachably connected to the slide of the handgun, as already described. The base plate is preferably arranged relative to the slide of the firearm such that the longitudinal axis of the base plate runs parallel to the longitudinal axis of the slide of the firearm, and the longitudinal axis of the locking element of the locking device, in particular the longitudinal axis of the prismatic jaw of the locking element, runs transversely to the longitudinal axis of the slide.

[0033] It is understood that the aforementioned and subsequently explained embodiments and exemplary embodiments can be implemented not only individually, but also in any combination with one another, without departing from the scope of the present invention. It is also understood that the aforementioned and subsequently explained embodiments and exemplary embodiments relate in an equivalent or at least similar manner to the handgun according to the invention, without being specifically named for it.

[0036] The Figures 1 to 6Figure 1 shows the mounting device 01 according to the invention with a handgun 02, wherein the mounting device 01 enables the attachment of the aiming device 03 to the handgun 02. For attaching the aiming device 03 to a handgun 02, the base plate 05 is connected to the aiming device 03, which is designed as a reflex sight. The aiming device 03 can be attached to the surface 52 of the base plate 05 by means of a screw connection. The base plate 05, in turn, is connected to the handgun 02, in particular to the slide 15 of the handgun 02. For simple and quick positioning of the base plate 05 on the contact surface 21 on the slide 15 of the handgun 02, the mounting device 01 has a magnetic device with two magnets 09.The mounting device 01 with mounting surface 51 can be positioned on the mounting surface 21 of the handgun 02 using the magnetic device 20 and then locked in place using the locking device 30, so that recoil forces occurring during firing can be reliably absorbed. Furthermore, the... Figures 1 to 6It can be seen that an auxiliary sight 13, consisting of a rear sight and a front sight, is arranged on the base plate 05, with the aiming device 03 being attached to the base plate 05 between the rear sight and front sight of the auxiliary sight 13. The optical axes of the auxiliary sight 13 and the aiming device 03 coincide in such a way that the auxiliary sight 13 can still be used if the aiming device 03 fails. The optical axes of the auxiliary sight 13 and the aiming device 03 run parallel to the firing direction S and thus also to the longitudinal extent of the slide 15 of the handgun 02. The longitudinal axis LB of the base plate 05 also runs along the firing direction S. The actuating element 14 of the locking device 30 can be actuated from the rear, i.e., from the end of the mounting device 01 furthest from the muzzle of the handgun 02.To actuate the device, pressure must be applied to the actuating element 14, which is designed as a push button, so that the actuating element 14 is at least partially inserted into the base plate 05 in the firing direction S. This allows the locking device 30 to be moved from the locked position to the released position. The differences between the locked and released positions of the locking device 30 are particularly evident from the following: Figures 7a to 11b These points stand out and will be explained below.

[0037] A summary of the Figures 5 and 6The exploded views shown illustrate, in particular, the structure and function of the locking device 30 of the mounting device 01 according to the invention for attaching a aiming device 03 to a handgun 02. The two locking elements 06, 07 of the locking device 30 are arranged within a recess on the underside of the base plate 05. The locking element 07 is fixed to the base plate 05 by means of the screw 11, which passes through the base plate 05 and engages with an internal thread provided in the locking element 07. The locking element 06 is formed integrally with the actuating element 14 and can be inserted into the recess on the underside of the base plate 05 such that the actuating element 14 passes through the base plate 05.Between the locking elements 06 and 07, two spring elements 08 are arranged. Against the force of these spring elements, the locking element 06 can be moved towards the stationary locking element 07, thus transferring the locking device 30 from the locked position to the released position. If no pressure is applied to the actuating element 14, the locking element 06 is moved away from the stationary locking element 07 by the force of the spring elements 08, so that the prismatic jaws 61 and 71 of the locking elements 06 and 07 engage the inclined groove flanks of the interface 04 of the handgun 02. This positive locking of the prismatic jaws 61 and 71 with the interface 04 in the locked position of the locking device 30 allows the mounting device 01 to be reliably locked onto the handgun 02.It is evident that the interface 04 is designed as a groove extending transversely to the firing direction S through the slide 15 with inclined groove flanks. Consequently, the longitudinal axis LR of the detent element, in particular of the prismatic jaws 61, 71, also runs transversely to the firing direction S.

[0038] To prevent the locking device 30 from being unintentionally moved from the locked position to the released position, a safety device 40 is included. The locking element 10 of the safety device 40, which, according to the illustrated embodiment, is designed as a threaded stud, can be guided along the firing direction S by the actuating element 14, which extends through the base plate 05, and by the movable detent element 06, and can be brought into contact with the stationary detent element 07. The external thread 18 of the threaded stud interacts with an internal thread 17 provided in the actuating element 14 and the detent element 06. Depending on the screw-in depth of the locking element 10, this allows a desired spacing between the detent elements 06 and 07 to be defined, or actuation of the actuating element 14 to be prevented.Only after the locking element 10 has been spaced away from the stationary detent element 07 can the actuating element 14 be actuated again to move the locking device 30 from the locked position to the released position. Furthermore, it is evident from the overall view of the... Figures 5 and 6 It is evident that within the base plate 05 a magnetic device 20 comprising two magnets 09 is included, which serves to position and support the fixing of the mounting device 01 on the slide 15 of the short weapon 02.

[0039] In the Figures 7a to 11b is already with the Figures 1 to 6 The illustrated embodiment of the mounting device 01 according to the invention is shown in isolation. A combined view of the Figures 7a to 11b The inventive design and the functioning of the assembly device 01 are again clearly shown, with the assembly device 01 in the Figures 7a to 8b shown together with target facility 03 and in the Figures 9a to 11bwithout the target device 03 shown.

[0040] It can again be seen that the aiming device 03 is arranged between the rear and front sights of the auxiliary sight 13 and is detachably connected to the base plate 05. To attach the mounting device 01 to a handgun 02, the magnets 09 of the magnetic device 20, shown in Figures 8a to 10b, are used in a first step. These magnets interact with a ferromagnetic area of ​​the contact surface 21 of the handgun 02. At the point shown in the Figures 7 to 11 The mounting surface 51 of the mounting device 01 can be brought into contact with the mounting surface 21 of the short-range weapon 02 (not shown) for attaching the mounting device 01 to a short-range weapon 02. The mounting surface 51 can be designed to be complementary to the slide 15 of the short-range weapon 02 and, as can be seen in particular from the Figures 8a and 8ba median surface 51a and a side surface 51b adjoining the median surface 51a, the side surfaces 51b being curved.

[0041] To lock the mounting device 01 onto the handgun 02, the locking mechanism 30 can be moved from the release position to the locked position. Figures 7a , 8a , 9a , 10a and 11a The mounting device 01 is shown in the locked position, whereas the mounting device 01 is shown in the Figures 7b , 8b , 9b , 10b and 11bEach is shown in the release position. In the locked position, the two locking elements 06, 07 are pushed apart by the force of the spring elements 08, allowing the prismatic jaws 61, 71, if inserted into the interface 04 of a handgun 02, to form a positive fit with the interface 04. Furthermore, the actuating element 14, which in this case is designed as a push button and is integral with the movable locking element 06, is pushed out of the base plate 05 by the force of the spring elements 08. In contrast, in the release position, the actuating element 14 is pushed further into the base plate 05 against the force of the spring elements 08. By inserting the actuating element 14 into the base plate 05, the locking element 06 is pushed towards the locking element 07, thereby engaging the prismatic jaws 61, 71 of the locking elements 06, 07 in the Figures 7 to 11 The interface 04, which is not shown, is not accessible.

[0042] The locking element 10 of the locking device 40 can be screwed into the actuating element 14 and the movable detent element 06, as previously described, until the locking element 10 comes to rest against the stationary detent element 07, thereby preventing actuation of the actuating element 14. If actuation or movement of the actuating element 14 is prevented, the detent element 06 cannot move towards the detent element 07, and the prismatic jaws 61, 71 of the detent elements 06, 07 remain spaced apart and thus engaged in the interface 04 of the handgun 02. Consequently, the locking device 30 is secured against unintentional movement from the locked position to the released position by means of the locking device 40.

[0043] The in the Figures 12 to 16 The assembly device 01 shown largely corresponds to that shown in the Figures 1 to 11 , differs from this, however, in that the ones in the Figures 12 to 16The mounting device 01 shown has an adapter recess 12 for receiving an adapter plate 16, wherein the adapter plate 16 has positioning pins 161 for positioning a targeting device 03 on the surface 52 of the base plate 05. In contrast, the base plate 05 of the Figures 1 to 11 The mounting device shown is integral with the positioning pins 161, which, however, are located in the Figures 1 to 11 which are not shown, are designed. Furthermore, the assembly device corresponds to the embodiment according to the Figures 12 to 16 those after the Figures 1 to 11 , therefore, to avoid repetition, reference is made to the relevant description.

[0044] The Figure 12 , 15 and 16Figure 1 shows the mounting device 01 according to the invention with a handgun 02, wherein the mounting device 01 enables the attachment of the aiming device 03 to the handgun 02. For attaching the aiming device 03 to a handgun 02, the base plate 05 can remain connected to the aiming device 03. The aiming device 03 can be positioned on the surface 52 of the base plate 05 by means of the positioning pins 161 and then fastened to the surface 52 of the base plate 05 by means of the screws 19. A summary of the Figures 12 to 16It is evident that the adapter plate 16 includes the positioning pins 161 for positioning the aiming device 03 relative to the base plate 05 and thus also relative to the handgun 02. In the assembled state of the mounting device 01, the positioning pins 161 extend upwards from the base plate 162 of the adapter plate 16. According to the illustrated embodiment, two positioning pins 161 are arranged on the adapter plate 16. As can be seen in particular from the Figures 13 and 14As can be seen, the positioning pins 161 can be arranged at different locations on the base plate 162 of the adapter plate 16, depending on the embodiment of the adapter plate 16. This allows the mounting device 01 to be adapted to different targeting devices 03. Depending on which targeting device 03 is to be used, the adapter plate 16 can be easily replaced. The adapter plate 16 can be inserted into the adapter recess 12, which is provided in the surface 52 of the base plate 05, and is secured in the adapter recess 12 by means of a positive fit. Preferably, the base plate 162 is designed as a trapezoidal plate, and the adapter recess 12 is complementary to the base plate 162, and therefore also preferably trapezoidal. The positioning pins 161 are preferably circular cylindrical. Figures 15 and 16It is also evident that the adapter recess 12 does not extend completely through the base plate 05 and is inserted into the base plate 05 above the magnetic device 20. Preferably, but not exclusively, the adapter recess 12 can be arranged at the end of the mounting device 01 closest to the muzzle of the handgun 02. In order to be able to attach the aiming device 03 between the rear and front sights of the auxiliary sight 13 on the base plate 05, the adapter recess is inserted into the base plate 05 between the rear and front sights of the auxiliary sight 13, according to the illustrated embodiment. The different adapter plates 16, which are connected to the Figures 13 and 14The components shown can, for example, be parts of a mounting system consisting of the mounting device 01 according to the second embodiment and a plurality of adapter plates 16. Because this mounting system has a plurality of adapter plates 16 that can be interchangeably inserted into the base plate 05, the mounting system offers the possibility of easily adapting the mounting device 01 to different target devices 03.
