Loading device for kinetic operation automatic or semi-automatic rifles

Abstract

A loading device for kinetic operation automatic or semi-automatic rifles ( 11 ), comprising, housed inside a housing ( 23 ), a breechblock ( 24 ) of a barrel ( 25 ) of the rifle ( 11 ), the breechblock ( 24 ) being functionally associated with a feeder mechanism ( 22 ) by mean of a loading kinematism, wherein the feeder mechanism ( 22 ) supports at least one element ( 30 ), suitable for accumulating part of the recoil inertia energy of the rifle ( 11 ) transferring it onto an elastic element ( 15 ), which determines the loading of the firearm.

1 . Loading device for kinetic operation automatic or semi-automatic rifles ( 11 ), of the type comprising, housed inside a housing ( 23 ), at least one breechblock ( 24 ) of at least one barrel ( 25 ) of said rifle ( 11 ), said breechblock ( 24 ) being functionally associated with at least one feeder mechanism ( 22 ) through at least one loading kinematism, characterised in that said feeder mechanism ( 22 ) supports a swing block ( 30 ), suitable for accumulating part of the recoil inertia energy of the rifle ( 11 ) transferring it onto at least one elastic element ( 15 ), which determines the loading of the firearm.  
     
     
         2 . Loading device according to  claim 1 , characterised in that said elastic element ( 15 ) consists of a synthetic element from the elastomer family, suitable for regulating the actions and responses during firing thanks to a suitable change in shape of said elastomeric element acting upon variable load diagrams according to design parameters.  
     
     
         3 . Loading device according to  claim 2 , characterised in that said feeder mechanism ( 22 ) comprises at least one tubular tank ( 31 ) having one end integral with said housing ( 23 ), said tank ( 31 ) having an opposite end equipped with a blind base realised through at least one plug extension ( 36 ) of at least one shaft ( 37 ) which carried, at a free front end thereof, a knob ( 38 ), on said tank ( 31 ) and in abutment against a sleeve extension ( 32 ) of said housing ( 23 ) being inserted a spring ( 43 ) locked at an opposite end by a shaped bush ( 44 ), said shaped bush ( 44 ) having at least one groove ( 45 ) in which at least one tailpiece ( 46 ) for connecting to said loading kinematism is inserted.  
     
     
         4 . Loading device according to  claim 3 , characterised in that on said shaft ( 37 ) and in abutment against a ring ( 41 ) for the attachment of said barrel ( 25 ), said feeder mechanism ( 22 ) carried at least said elastomeric element ( 15 ) and said swing block ( 30 ).  
     
     
         5 . Loading device according to  claim 1 , characterised in that said breechblock ( 24 ) is of the type with a locking latch ( 26 ), said latch ( 26 ) being housed inside said breechblock ( 24 ) and having at least one tooth-shaped protrusion ( 27 ) which can engage in at least one recess of a portion of said housing ( 23 ) to close tight a chamber of a barrel ( 25 ) of said rifle ( 11 ).  
     
     
         6 . Loading device according to  claim 2 , characterised in that said elastomeric element ( 15 ) allows the vibrations to be reduced and allows softer movements in the act of firing, for simple control of the stability of the firearm during firing.  
     
     
         7 . Loading device according to  claim 2 , characterised in that said elastomeric element ( 15 ) allows the reloading action of the rifle ( 11 ) to be divided into different behaviours, by studying the shapes, the sections and the couplings of said element ( 15 ), according to the power of the ammunition to be fired.  
     
     
         8 . Loading device according to  claim 1 , characterised in that said elastic element ( 15 ) is made from synthetic material and is suitable for being used as a single piece or in combination with other operating systems, such as gas recovery, short barrel-recoil or opening delay systems.  
     
     
         9 . Loading device according to  claim 8 , characterised in that said element made from synthetic material can also be used in mixed operation firearms (semi-automatic and manual), determining solutions with the maximum simplicity and the minimum weight.
