Description

[0001] AN ASYMMETRIC MAGAZINE LOCK WITH CHANGEABLE DIRECTION OF USE

[0002] Technical Field

[0003] The invention relates to a magazine lock intended for use for firearms, which is formed in an asymmetrical structure so that the hand position can be easily changed by shooters using different hands.

[0004] State of the Art

[0005] Today, firearms can be customized for right- or left-handed use. For example, in right-handed uses, the magazine lock should be on the left side and the finger support should be on the left side (to get support from the body while grasping the right hand with the left hand); in lefthanded uses, the same parts and accessories should be positioned in reverse directions.

[0006] There are also different uses for accessory positioning. For the example of finger support, the finger support should be connected to the connection points on the right or left parts, and for the magazine lock, the cover should be removed, and the magazine lock should be removed, and then it should be reassembled by turning it in the opposite direction. For both parts, there is a waste of time in the preparation phase before use.

[0007] In addition, thanks to the symmetrical blocking protrusions on the back of the magazine lock part and the blocking pressure on the magazine, it is ensured that the magazine comes to the top more than necessary and creates pressure and / or shakes are prevented from moving. However, it was observed that this prevention did not affect the shaking movement to a high extent.

[0008] Applications of changing the positions of lock mechanisms for right- and left-hand use are known within the current art. However, changing and organizing these positions requires serious effort and time. Again, these known mechanisms both increase production costs and increase the likelihood of failure in the product due to their complex structures. It is understood that patent application TR 2017 / 20493 is related to the magazine lock, which allows easy replacement by users using different hands, prevents the firearm from dislodging the magazine during falling, and provides a more efficient locking with the special forms it contains.

[0009] The mechanism of the application numbered TR 2017 / 20493

[0010] • is placed in the lock slot with the lock button for right-hand use with the groove on it facing to the right. By pressing the lock button, a little, the lock switch is passed to the bearing of the switch from the part at the end of the groove on it and it is pressed on it to be fixed. In this way, the system is made suitable for right-hand use.

[0011] • is placed in the lock slot with the lock button for use with the left with the groove on it facing to the left. Then, by pressing the lock button, the lock switch is passed to the bearing of the switch from the part at the end of the groove on it and it is pressed on it to be fixed. In this way, the system can be made suitable for left-hand use.

[0012] The mechanism of the application numbered TR 2017 / 20493 describes a complex mechanism containing more than one part. It is thought that the production costs of this type of mechanism will be relatively higher.

[0013] Again, such a mechanism reveals a structure that is more likely to malfunction due to its complex structure. Since the firearms are mostly intended to be used under difficult conditions such as land, the use of complex mechanisms is not preferred.

[0014] According to the description set of the application numbered TR 2017 / 20493, in order to change the right- and left-hand positions, it is necessary to remove the magazine lock and adjust its position. For this purpose, the upper cover of the firearm should be removed, and the direction of the position should be adjusted each time according to the hand use.

[0015] According to the description set, additional equipment such as screwdrivers etc. should be used to carry out this operation.

[0016] According to the application, the magazine lock described must perform a difficult plug-in operation in order to be adjusted to the right / left position.

[0017] Objects of the Invention

[0018] The object of the invention is to create a magazine lock with an asymmetrical structure that can be easily changed by shooters using different hands.

[0019] With the symmetrical adjustment of the spring slots in the magazine lock, it is easy to change the direction of the magazine lock and use it. The object of the invention is to prevent the user from performing continuous plug-in operations during the transition from each right to left hand or from left to right hand (In previous systems, it was necessary to change the cover, spring, magazine lock, respectively; with the use of the embodiment of the invention, it is sufficient to remove only the cover and spring).

[0020] Another object of the invention is to prevent the magazine from pressing on the upper parts of the firearm and / or shaking movement by thickening the symmetrical protrusions towards the bottom.

[0021] With the change of the shape of the magazine lock in accordance with the new design, it is easier to position the magazine lock on the body with the help of a spring.

[0022] With the simple structure created, both the product costs were significantly reduced, and the maintenance costs required for the product could be significantly reduced.

[0050] Description of the Invention

[0051] The invention relates to an asymmetric magazine lock (2) intended for use with firearms (1), the operating hand can be changed easily by different-handed shooters.

[0052] The magazine lock (2) comprises at least one protrusion (5) intended to be connected to at least one magazine lock recess (9) formed on the magazine (8).

[0053] By acting on the magazine lock (2), the user can lock / release the magazine (8) by connecting / separating the magazine lock recess (9) and the protrusion (5). The magazine lock (2) has at least two slots where the adjustment element (3) can be placed so that the hand position can be changed easily by shooters using different hands. The user can adjust the positions of the magazine lock (2) for right- and left-hand use by changing the positions of the adjustment element (3) in the slots.

[0054] Figure 5 shows one of the preferred embodiments of the invention. Within this application, the magazine lock (2) comprises at least one primary slot (6) and at least one secondary slot (7).

[0055] According to Figure 5, the right part of the magazine lock (2) has asymmetrically formed slots (6,7), including a primary slot (6) and a secondary slot (7), and the left part has a primary slot (6) and a secondary slot (7). Different embodiments of the invention can be operated with a different number of primary slots (6) and magazine locks (2) with asymmetrical right and left parts formed from the secondary slot (7).

[0056] According to Figure 5, the primary slot (6) is formed in the form of an oval channel with relatively longer lateral walls. The secondary slot (7) defines a circular space smaller than the primary slot (6).

[0057] Both the primary slot (6) and the secondary slot (7) aim to include the adjustment element (3) so that the adjustment can be achieved in different usage positions.

[0058] The adjustment element (3) shown in Figure 4 and according to one of the preferred embodiments of the invention comprises at least one straight leg (3.1) and at least one compression leg (3.2).

[0059] Within this application, the adjustment element (3) is configured in the form of a spring. It may be possible to use different adjustment elements (3) that can provide flexibility in different applications of the invention.

[0060] The adjustment element (3) according to Figure 4 comprises at least one tension tip (3.3) formed in a circular structure. The tension tip (3.3) further comprises the straight leg (3.1) and the compression leg (3.2) on which at least one protrusion is provided. According to the preferred embodiment of the invention, a single protrusion in a circular structure is formed on the compression leg (3.2).

[0061] The adjustment element (3) according to Figure 4 comprises the straight leg (3.1) and the compression leg (3.2) in the form of two legs opening to the right and left from the tension tip (3.3).

[0062] Both the primary slot (6) and the secondary slot (7) are formed on at least one of the side surfaces of the magazine lock (2) and are formed in the form of channels extending in the body of the magazine lock (2).

[0063] According to Figure 8, the straight leg (3.1) is located in the secondary slot (7) and the compression leg (3.2)is located in the primary slot (6).

[0064] Within this embodiment, the straight leg (3.1) is configured shorter than the compression leg (3.2). The end of the straight leg (3.1) is intended to fit into the placement recess (10) formed at the end of the secondary slot (7) configured in the form of a channel along the magazine lock (2).

[0065] According to Figure 8, the compression leg (3.2) extends out of the primary slot (6) formed in the form of a channel along the magazine lock (2).

[0066] According to Figure 6, the finger pressure surface (4) is formed at both ends of the magazine lock (2). Since the magazine lock (2) of the invention aims to use the same lock (2) for both right- and left-hand use, the finger pressure surface (4) is formed in both end sections of the magazine lock (2).

[0067] The magazine lock (2) comprises at least two protrusions (5) formed asymmetrically in two separate end sections.

[0068] According to Figure 6, the magazine lock (2) is formed in an asymmetrical structure with a protrusion (5) in the right section and a protrusion (5) in the left section. This asymmetric embodiment allows right and left directional dual use. These protrusions (5) are intended to be connected to and separated from the magazine lock recess (9) formed on the magazine (8).

[0069] Since it is intended to use two-way hands, the magazine lock recesses (9) formed on the magazine (8) are also formed asymmetrically.

[0070] According to Figure 11, 2 asymmetric magazine lock recesses (9) are formed on the magazine (8).

[0071] In order to meet a protrusion (5) in the right section and one in the left section formed on the magazine lock (2), a magazine lock recess (9) is formed on the magazine (8) in the right section and in the left section.

[0072] According to Figure 6, the protrusion (5) is designed as a relatively thick structure on the magazine lock (2) with its edges emptied. This design increases the connection / assembly ability of the protrusion.

[0073] More specifically, the protrusion (5) is formed by unloading the edges of a spring-section body. The base (5.1) of the protrusion (5) extends to the flat form and continues by forming the inclined flat surface (5.2) at the end.

[0074] This embodiment can prevent or reduce the shaking movements that may occur due to the fact that the magazine (8) contacts the parts at the top of the firearm (1) and does not fit into the magazine lock (2) slot in the magazine (8).

[0075] This embodiment can ensure that the magazine lock (2) is positioned to restrict movement to the magazine lock recess (9) in the magazine (8).

[0076] Due to this embodiment described above, easy application can be provided for different hand uses. The application method may include the following steps so that the user can change the direction of use of the magazine lock (2).

[0077] • Removing the cover, • Removing the adjustment element (3),

[0078] • Placing the magazine lock (2) in the right and left directions to be used and bringing it to the new adjustment element position,

[0079] • Placing the removed adjustment element (3) in the slots (6,7) in accordance with the other hand use position,

[0080] • Closing the cover again and completing the assembly.

[0081] Within the preferred embodiment of the invention, the adjustment element (3) consisting of the straight leg (3.1) and the compression leg (3.2) is turned asymmetrically and placed in the slots (6,7).
