Extractor device for torqueless extraction of a cartridge case

Abstract

An extractor of a firearm is mounted rotatably about a rotation point with an extractor claw in the region of an end of the extractor near the barrel of the firearm and a contact element in the region of an end of the extractor remote from the barrel. An extractor spring biases the extractor in an end position determined when the chamber is empty. Torque-free pulling of a cartridge case is made possible in that the extractor has a protrusion mounted in a pot of the breech. The protrusion's leading edge adjoins an undersurface of the protrusion. The protrusion is mounted on a bottom surface of the pot near the barrel. The protrusion leading edge is supported on a leading edge of the pot near the barrel. The pot leading edge forms the transition from the bottom surface to a boundary wall of the pot near the barrel. The leading edge forms a rotation axis of the extractor, which allows rotation of the extractor relative to the breech.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

(6) The extractor device 100 according to the invention is attached to a breech (shown as a breech section of a pistol slide) 200 with a lower part with functional elements for interaction with an upper region of a handle (frame) part 300 of a firearm and contains an extractor 110 mounted rotatably around a pivot axis with an extractor claw 111 provided in the region of an end of the extractor 110 close to the barrel 250 of the firearm and a contact element 112 arranged in the region of an end of the extractor 110 remote from the barrel 250 of the firearm, which works together with an extractor spring 120 that biases the extractor 110.

(7) The extractor 110 has a protrusion 140 mounted in a pot or pocket 210 of the breech 200, the leading edge 1411 of which, which adjoins an undersurface 143 of the protrusion 140 and which is supported on the bottom surface 213 of the pot 210 and which is close to the barrel, is supported on a leading edge 2133, which is close to the barrel, of the pot 210 forming the transition from the bottom surface 213 to a boundary wall 211, which is close to the barrel, of the pot 210 and forms a rotation axis 1411 of the extractor 110, which allows a rotation of the extractor 110 relative to the breech 200.

(8) The depth of the pot 210 and thus the position of the axis of rotation 1411 of the extractor 110 is dimensioned within the breech 200 so that pulling a cartridge case 400 by means of the extractor claw 111 in the aftermath of a shot being fired is carried out as rotation-free linear movement.

(9) The depth of the pot 210 is dimensioned so that, in a basic position of the extractor 110 predetermined by the extractor claw 111 contacting the edge of a cartridge located in the barrel 250, both the axis of rotation 1411 of the extractor 110 and the extractor claw 111 are arranged at the same distance from the breech center line which is aligned collinearly with the longitudinal axis 251 of the barrel 250.

(10) The leading edge 1411 of the protrusion 140 is formed on a first cam 141 that is formed in the region of an end of the protrusion 140 near the barrel, wherein the undersurface 143 of the protrusion 140 is of concave form, wherein a second cam 142 formed in the region of the protrusion 140 remote from the barrel is formed opposite the first cam 141 in the region of the end of the protrusion 140 near the barrel.

(11) The undersurface 143 of the protrusion 140 is designed such that, in a basic position of the extractor 110 predetermined by the extractor claw 111 contacting the edge of a cartridge located in the barrel 250, the second cam 142 is arranged at a predetermined distance from the bottom surface 213 of the pot 210 to allow swinging forward of the extractor claw 111 in connection with a rotation of the extractor 110 around its axis of rotation 1411 in the event of sliding over by a cartridge edge 410 of a cartridge located in the cartridge chamber of the barrel 250.

(12) The pot 210 has a width which is dimensioned to enable free rotation of the second cam 142 within the pot 210 about the axis of rotation 1411 of the extractor 110 which is caused by pretensioning of the extractor spring 120 or which is forced against the force of the extractor spring 120.

(13) The extractor 110 is provided with a vertical hole 150 in the case of a hand-held weapon, through which a vertically aligned retaining pin 160 can be guided in the breech 200, wherein the hole 150 is designed as a curved elongated hole, the curvature of which is dimensioned to allow a displacement of the breech 200 in relation to the retaining pin 160 during rotation of the extractor 110 about its axis of rotation 1411.

(14) The retaining pin 160 is of cylindrical form and mounted in a vertically arranged hollow cylindrical bore 220 of the breech 200. The retaining pin 160 is further provided with a groove 161 in the region of its outer surface, in which an end 171 of a spiral spring 170 mounted in a vertically arranged recess of the extractor 110 engages to hold the retaining pin 160 in a predetermined longitudinal axial vertical position within the elongated hole 150.

(15) The contact element 112 has a contact surface 113, which one end of the extractor spring 120 adjoins to bias the extractor claw 111 in a predetermined end position in the case of an empty cartridge chamber by means of rotation around the extractor's axis of rotation 1411.

(16) Following the firing of a shot, the rear surface 420 of the cartridge striking an ejector pin 310 shown in FIG. 4 and fixedly arranged in the handle part 300 of the firearm, in connection with a rearward movement of the breech 200 relative to the handle part 300 due to the recoil pulse of the cartridge case 400, causes the release of a cartridge case 400 from the extractor claw 111.

(17) FIG. 4 shows the handle part interacting with the breech for supporting the extractor device according to the invention illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3 in a view from obliquely above.

(18) The exemplary embodiment of the invention explained above only serves the purpose of a better understanding of the teaching according to the invention prescribed by the claims, which as such is not restricted by the exemplary embodiment
