Verschlüsse, die das Laden und abdichtende Verschließen des hinteren Rohrendes nach dem Laden einer Rohrwaffe ermöglichen, sind vielfach bekannt. Am gebräuchlichsten sind bei Handfeuerwaffen sogenannte Drehwarzenverschlüsse, bei denen durch eine quer zur Waffenachse händische Abwärtsbewegung des Kammerstengels eine Verriegelungswarze in einer Ausnehmung des Laufes oder der Verschlußhülse zum Verriegeln eingedreht wird; vergleiche US-A 2 649 800.Closures that load and seal the rear Allow barrel end after loading a barrel weapon widely known. The most common are small arms so-called nipple locks, in which through a transverse to Weapon axis manual downward movement of the stalk one Locking lug in a recess of the barrel or the closure sleeve is screwed in to lock; compare US-A 2,649,800.

Auch sind sogenannte Geradezugverschlüsse bekannt, die zur Verriegelung neben einer axialen Vorwärtsbewegung auch ein Anheben des Verschlusses benötigen; vergleiche US-A 3 044 203. Dieser bekannte Geradezugverschluß benötigt aber eine große Baulänge und eine Vielzahl von aufeinander gleitenden Bauteilen für das Überführen des Verschlusses aus der Ladestellung in die Verschlußstellung und zu seiner Verriegelung in der Verschlußstellung.So-called straight-line closures are also known, which are used for locking in addition to an axial forward movement, also a lifting need of the closure; compare US-A 3,044,203. This Known straight-line lock requires a large length and a variety of components sliding on top of each other for transfer the lock from the loading position to the closed position and for its locking in the closed position.

Die bekannten Repetiereinheiten zu vereinfachen ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, mit der ein neuer, mit geringem Kraftaufwand linear bewegbarer Verschluß geschaffen werden soll, der eine extrem kurze Bauweise ermöglicht, um dadurch auch die Waffenlänge zu verringern.Simplifying the known repeating units is the task of Invention with which a new linear, with little effort Movable closure to be created, which is an extremely short Construction enabled, thereby reducing the gun length.

Ausgehend von einem Verschluß der eingangs genannten Art ist diese Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Steuerrampen als Teile von Schlitzen eines Steuerblechs und die Stützflächen des Verschlußkopfes als mit diesem verbundene Steuerstifte ausgebildet sind, denen mit den Steuerstiften korrespondierende Langlöcher in der Verschlußführung derart zugeordnet sind, daß beim Bewegen des Steuerblechs der Verschlußkopf über seine Steuerstifte im Ausmaß der durch die Steuerrampen und die Langlöcher verkörperten Führungen formschlüssig in die Verschlußstellung anhebbar oder in die Ladestellung absenkbar ist.Starting from a closure of the type mentioned above, this is Object achieved in that the control ramps as Parts of slots in a control plate and the support surfaces of the Locking head designed as control pins connected to this are, which with the control pins corresponding elongated holes in the closure guide are assigned such that when moving the Control plate the locking head over its control pins in extent the guides embodied by the control ramps and the elongated holes can be positively raised in the closed position or in the Loading position can be lowered.

Nach einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung ist das Steuerblech über ein Betätigungsglied geradlinig hin- und herbewegbar.According to a further feature of the invention, the control plate is over an actuator can be moved back and forth in a straight line.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung wird eine extrem kurze Bauweise des Verschlusses bei gleichzeitig vergrößerter Verriegelungsfläche erzielt, die durch die Verriegelungswarzen verkörpert ist, welche gleichzeitig eine sichere Verriegelung des Verschlusses gewährleisten.The inventive design makes it extremely short Construction of the lock with an enlarged locking surface achieved, embodied by the locking warts which is at the same time a secure locking of the lock guarantee.

Ein weiterer Vorteil der Erfindung ist darin zu sehen, daß der Verschlußkopf leicht auswechselbar ist, um so verschiedene Patronendurchmesser mit der gleichen Rohrwaffe verschießen zu können.Another advantage of the invention is that the Breech head is easily interchangeable, so different cartridge diameters to be able to fire with the same barrel weapon.
