Apparatus for mounting a sighting mechanism on a handgun
The invention relates to an apparatus for mounting a sighting mechanism on a handgun, with a bracket ( 2 ), comprising at least a fixed bracket element and a rotatable bracket element ( 5 ) opposite thereto that is rotatable on an axis ( 20 ) relative to the bracket ( 2 ), which is adjustable by an operating element ( 19 ) opposite the fixed bracket element ( 3 ). To enable a precisely repeatable and low-wear mounting, the operating element ( 19 ) is rotatable relative to the rotatable bracket element ( 5 ) on the axis ( 20 ) thereof.
1. An apparatus for mounting a sighting mechanism on a handgun, with a bracket, comprising a fixed bracket element and a rotatable bracket element opposite thereto that is rotatable relative to the bracket on a rotational axis, which is adjustable by an operating element opposite the fixed bracket element, wherein the operating element is rotatable relative to the rotatable bracket element on the axis thereof, wherein the rotation of the rotatable bracket element against the bracket is restricted, and the rotatable bracket element is connected to the operating element via a snap fitting, and wherein the rotation of the rotatable bracket element against the bracket is restricted by the engagement of a projection, deployed on the rotatable bracket element, with a cam furnished in the bracket.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the operating element is connected to the rotatable bracket element in such a way that the rotatable bracket element is initially carried along with a rotation of the operating element into a clamping position, and after reaching a locking position, is only pushed in the direction of the rotational axis without rotating further.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the snap fitting is formed as a locking ball deployed in the operating element and a running groove with a latching depression in the rotatable bracket element.
4. An apparatus for mounting a sighting mechanism on a handgun, with a bracket, comprising a fixed bracket element and a rotatable bracket element opposite thereto that is rotatable relative to the bracket on a rotational axis, which is adjustable by an operating element opposite the fixed bracket element, wherein the operating element is rotatable relative to the rotatable bracket element on the axis thereof, wherein the rotatable bracket element is rotatably deployed around the rotational axis on a threaded pin deployed in the bracket, and wherein the threaded pin is deployed in the bracket with a fine-pitch thread and secured against rotation.
5. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the operating element is connected to the threaded pin via a thread.
6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the operating element is formed as a swing arm with a folding grip.
7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the rotatable bracket element contains an additional projection for catching the operating element.
