Abstract

Two-leg mounting for a recoilless weapon, consists of a pivotable receiver for the weapon carrier, a mounting pipe, and a leg support fitted in the pipe, which receives both leg supports, which, with a slide piece, formed as a jointed support, are insertable into the pipe as far as the earth spade and arrestable, and can be pulled out together with the slide piece on reaching a stroke limiting stop of it, for full spreading and simultaneous stabilisation. Pref. the mounting pipe has an oval, and the leg support a round, cross section; the support is solid in the head region and has bevelled end surfaces and is pivoted in the slide piece by axles so that the spread legs subtend 120 deg. Stability is good for a low constructional height.

Bipod for recoilless weapon »

The invention relates to a bipod for recoilless weapons, consisting from a swiveling mount for the weapon carrier, a storage tube and a leg support housed therein.

Two legs for recoil weapons, such as s are "E _e automatic handguns or machine guns have long been known," So, one of the two legs of two bearing pipes ₉ in each of which a © leg support is performed. The only purpose of the complicated construction of these legrests is to make the legrest pivotable from the rest position to the operating position and vice versa, by removing the cover located at the upper end of one of the two notches in the legrest holder by pulling it off so that after swiveling the legrest by about 90 ° the spring-loaded roller can engage in the other notch.

Another well-known bipod is designed like a pair of pincers, whose Legs lying above the pivot point are shell-shaped and completely or partially encompass the weapon. The leg rests are Designed telescopically so that they can be pulled out almost to twice the length.

Apart from the stabilization when pulling out the inner legs and so that the stability of the bipod visibly deteriorates, such telescopic legs are naturally only thin-walled can be, for the rough operation with the troops in the field

not suitable.

The invention is based on avoiding the disadvantages mentioned, the task of improving bipods for recoilless weapons so that aie have a high level of stability at extremely short overall height • and yet are so light and handy that they remain on the weapon in the smallest of spaces can _s

According to the invention, the object is achieved by two leg supports receiving bearing tube, in the one designed as a joint support Slider the leg rests can be pushed in and locked in place up to the ground spur are while the leg supports are by pulling them out of the bearing tube simultaneous entrainment of the slider when reaching a stroke limiting Stop of the same fully expandable and rigidly connected to each other.

Another feature of the invention, the bearing tube have a oval and the leg rests have a round cross-section, whereby the latter formed ataesiv in the head area and with beveled end surfaces provided and are pivotably mounted by means of axes in the slider, such that the leg supports are mutually exclusive in the spread position include a support angle of 120 °,

The invention is explained below with reference to a drawing of an exemplary embodiment explained in more detail, namely show:

The support tube has an oval lohrq cross-section, a © r in the head area is massive. In this area, the pivotable receptacle 2 for the weapon carrier 3 is provided, with the circular Circumferential surface of the receptacle 2 on two notched latches 2 a offset by 90 a Rugelraste 1 a engages optionally. Through this well-known Measure can be the support tube 1 connected to the weapon from the rest position adjust to the working position and vice versa "

Inside the support tube 1, a slider 4 is housed, which can be determined in the upper position with its ball catch 5 in an inner groove 1 b of the support tube 1. The two leg rests 6, which have a round tubular cross-section, are each filled with a plug at the top, so that an axle 7 can be inserted through the solid ends, which are guided in the slide 4 at the side. In addition, the upper end surfaces 6a of the leg supports are characterized by a corresponding inclined position. The lower ends of the leg supports 6 are provided with earth or ice spurs 6 b, which protrude just far from the support tube 1 that they can be pulled out of the support tube 1 by hand, overcoming the spring force of the ball catch 5. So that a constant pull-out length for the leg otters 6 is always guaranteed, stops 8 are provided at the lower end of the support tube 1, against which the protruding edge 4 β. of the sliding piece 4 abuts. After the leg supports 6 have been pulled completely out of the support tube 1, they can be spread up to an opening angle of 120 °. The inclined end surfaces 6 a lie close to one another, while the inclined support surfaces 1 c of the support tube 1, which are lengthened by the lower edges of the stops 8, also contribute to stabilizing the leg supports 6. This makes it possible to use the full length of the support tube 1 as a support height, in which the leg supports 6 are only involved to a small extent, since their main task is to give the weapon an extremely high stability through wide ground spurs 6 b .
