[0001] RECOIL ABSORPTION MECHANISM FOR FIREARMS

[0002] TECHNICAL FIELD

[0003] The invention relates to the absorption mechanism that most reduces the back impact speed of the mechanism after firing in firearms to the extent that it does not prevent the healthy operation of the weapon.

[0004] PRIOR ART

[0005] Since the existence of mankind, many tools for hunting and defense have been invented throughout history. In the early times of human history, there were very primitive defense tools. Hunting and defense needs were provided with cutting and piercing tools. From a technical point of view, inventions such as the bow and arrow, which convert potential energy into kinetic energy, and tools used from a certain distance without approaching the target element became more useful and effective than others. So much so that the ability to kill prey from a distance is one of the building blocks of our current ecological sovereignty. This process, which started in 8000 BC, shows mankind's interest in ranged weapons.

[0006] The interaction of coal with potassium nitrate was first discovered in China in the 9th century and primitive explosives quickly appeared on the stage of history. The first bombs made of gunpowder, initially used for environmental destruction by detonation, were later used for throwing. This throwing work, that is, gaining speed to the mass, later began to replace the bow and arrow.

[0007] At the beginning of modem times, the ancestors of weapon systems appeared on the stage of history. There were many working styles. After the first firing in history, weapons began to evolve. Matchlock rifles were the first examples. This progress continued with flintlock muskets. These simple weapons worked simply by loading gunpowder and bullets into the barrel and then firing a spark from an igniter into the firing chamber. The gunpowder ignited by the spark accelerated the bullet and sent it to the target.

[0008] When the historical development of weapons is examined, it is understood that mankind is very fond of this invention. Weapons, whose development continues even today, are divided into many different branches. From sniper rifles designed for long-distance shooting to automatic rifles with high rates of fire, weapons have evolved into many branches. There are now weapons used in a wide variety of situations. Weapons that can fire high-caliber cartridges can destroy walls, and thanks to improved cartridges, they can explode behind the wall after piercing it, scattering shrapnel. One of the leading types of weapon is the shoulder-fired automatic pistol, which uses pistol cartridges. They are short rifles in terms of their structure. Their purpose is to provide both firepower and portability in short-range situations and urban operations.

[0009] With the developing bullet technology, weapons started to develop. After the use of the cartridges, which have become complex, the discharge of the case from the weapon and the application of the loaded cartridge to the firing oil have begun to be provided with various mechanisms. At the same time, locking mechanisms were invented for the safe and efficient operation of the weapon. These locking mechanisms began to be used for all weapon systems.

[0010] Weapons operating on the principle of mass-delayed recoil do not have any geometric lock. It does not work by rotation or cylinder locking. They usually work with the advantage of a single piece of mass, given by its mass. So much so that the timing and operating events of the weapon, which we mentioned earlier in the rotary lock section, are valid for this type of mechanism weapons. The difference of this type of weapon is that it does not need a drive mechanism such as a gas-piston mechanism. If we talk about the timing and working events; the trigger is pulled, the hammer falls and accelerates the needle, the needle fires the capsule and the gunpowder ignites, the core passes through the barrel and travels to the target, the mechanism opens with the effect of the explosion and ejects the empty cartridge case on the way to the end of the stroke, cocking the hammer, the compressed iron spring pushes the mechanism into place, and the mechanism takes the cartridge from the magazine and puts it into the firing chamber and the weapon is ready for firing.

[0011] The reason why there is no lock in this mechanism is that due to the mass of the mechanism, the action starts later than the core. In other words, after the explosion occurs, the mechanism does not start to move until the core leaves the barrel. The reason for the delay is that its mass is too large compared to the nucleus.

[0012] After the firing of the gun in the known technique, the mechanism gains speed and opens backwards. Due to its mass and speed, it gives off its kinetic energy by hitting the wedge piece at the end of the working distance. Due to this collision, the wedge part is subjected to a load. As a result of this load, recoil occurs due to the mechanism. It is one of the reasons for the felt recoil in the weapon. In this case, the wedge part is exposed to a high loaded firing cycle and recoil is felt. This situation is an important technical problem, especially in urban area operations, where the user's firing line is not or only slightly disturbed due to recoil and the associated surge during firing.

[0013] BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0014] The invention slows down the mechanism by the operation of the absorption spring, which is activated at a certain distance just before the collision. With the activation of the absorption spring, the kinetic energy of the mechanism at that distance is transformed into the potential energy of the spring. As a result, the mechanism slows down and the kinetic energy of the mechanism decreases.

[0015] When the trigger is pulled, the cartridge is fired. After the core travels through the barrel, the mechanism starts to open with the effect of the explosion. The mechanism accelerates and starts to move backwards. After a certain distance, it hits the absorption assembly and begins to compress the absorption spring. In this case, the compressed absorption spring stores potential energy while reducing the kinetic energy of the mechanism. In this case, the speed of the mechanism decreases.

[0032] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0033] The invention is characterized by an absorption mechanism (1 ) consisting of a body (1.1 ), a washer (1.2), a spring (1.3), a lock (1.4), which is used by being installed between the spring (3) and the wedge (2) operating in the gun (4) system. The said absorption mechanism (1 ) is used at least once. While more than one absorption mechanism (1 ) is used in the system, it is used by being assembled in series to each other.

[0034] The lock (1.4) on the absorption mechanism (1 ) is the part that enables the absorption mechanism (1 ) to be fixed on the Recoil spring (3). It ensures that the spring (1.3) remains in an assembled state. The spring (1.3) is the part on which it is based. The (1 ) spring (1.3) in the absorption mechanism is the part that converts the kinetic energy of the mechanism into potential energy, thus slowing down the mechanism. The washer (1.2) in the absorption mechanism (1 ) is the part on which the spring (1 .3) rests. It is also the part that interacts with the mechanism. This part is movable and compresses the spring (1.3) as the mechanism returns. The body (1.1 ) in the absorption mechanism (1 ) is the part that centers the spring (1.3) and the washer (1.2). It also holds the system together. An absorption washer rests on the set on this part, preventing the spring from ejecting.

[0035] The absorption mechanism (1 ) is mounted and the weapon can operate after removal. Since it does not interfere with the operation of the weapon, it can be optionally installed and removed by the user without the need for additional experience and skill. This is done by attaching the absorption mechanism (1 ) to the return spring (3). In a weapon that reaches the end user in an unsuppressed state, the user can install the absorption mechanism (1 ) by removing and installing a pin. Springs (1.3) with different properties can be used in the absorption mechanism (1 ). When a spring with a high spring constant (1.3) is preferred, it can slow down the mechanism more, and when it works with a spring with a lower spring constant (1 .3), it slows down the mechanism less. This is a choice to be made by the user. The user who wants to use the weapon with a harder impact can use it with a soft spring (1 .3). A user who wants a soft-action weapon with less recoil can use it by installing a harder spring (1.3). The absorption mechanism (1 ) reduces the recoil caused by the weapon mechanism. The absorption mechanism (1 ) extends the life of the wedge (2), which is subjected to the load cycle by the weapon mechanism. Thus, it makes the weapon safer. This is because when the absorption mechanism (1 ) is used, the weapon mechanism slows down and the amount of energy and the maximum loading level it gives to the wedge (2) during the impact decreases.

[0036] As a result, the life of the wedge (2) is extended. While the absorption mechanism (1 ) is mounted on the weapon, it does not prevent the weapon from functioning properly. In this way, the absorption mechanism (1 ) is activated after the empty cartridge case has been ejected from the weapon and the mechanism has moved to the rear of the magazine. In this case, it is undesirable for the mechanism to slow down while the weapon is performing its specified functions. In some cases, if the mechanism slows down too much, it may stop before it reaches the rear of the magazine and shut down without removing the loaded cartridge from the magazine. In such cases, the absorption mechanism (1 ) will not be activated and will not affect the operation of the weapon. When the weapon is field disassembled for maintenance, the absorption mechanism (1 ) is not separated from the weapon mechanism and the user does not have to bother with assembly.
