BRIEF SUMMARY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a mounting for an aiming telescope, in particular for small arms, with a supporting mechanism which can be mounted on a weapon, and with a carrying mechanism which can be mounted on the aiming telescope and which can be attached to the supporting mechanism, wherein the supporting and the carrying mechanisms exhibit one pair each of engaging elements that are spaced apart.
Such an aiming telescope mounting can be inferred, for example, from the DE-Gbm 70 38 599 or DE-Gbm 83 12 673. Both of these aiming telescope mountings exhibit one holding mechanism that can be rotated on the front and one holding mechanism that can be locked on the rear. Each of the holding mechanisms comprises two engaging elements that are individually mounted.
To mount the aiming telescope on the weapon, the front engaging element of the aiming telescope is slid on the front engaging element of the weapon and rotated into the working position, whereby the rear engaging element of the aiming telescope is swung into the undercut groove of the rear engaging element of the weapon. A rotatable bolt provided in the holding mechanism fixes the working position. For the mounting according to the DE-Gbm 70 38 599 there is also a second rotatable bolt, which serves to adjust the engaging element in the groove and thus adjust the aiming telescope.
The engaging elements of these mountings represent single elements which are mounted on the weapon or on the aiming telescope, whereby the telescope and/or the weapon make the connection between the engaging elements of each pair. Therefore the space between the engaging elements can vary widely, due to temperature influences, so that the adjustment suffers.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Thus, the object of the invention is to provide a mounting for an aiming telescope or telescopic sight mount that avoids the described drawback and achieves this by bracing the engaging elements of one of the two pairs by changing their distance against the engaging elements of the second pair.
Thus the result is a mounting in which undesired changes in distance that affect the adjustment are superimposed on the change in distance causing the bracing, and thus are made ineffective.
The distance is preferably changed by means of a toggle lever. It allows a relatively long displacement path, so that the aiming telescope can be conveniently mounted and dismounted.
The braceable engaging elements are preferably provided on a carrier body, where an engaging element is formed especially by the free end of a spring-loaded bolt that can be moved by means of a toggle lever. In a preferred embodiment, the toggle lever is hinged to a slider from which a guide pin projects, on which guide pin the bolt slides, with a compression spring braced between the slider and the bolt.
The bracing can simultaneously center if the free end of the bolt tapers off and the engaging element of the supporting mechanism that interacts with the free end of the bolt exhibits a tapered depression. The depression is, in particular, conical, and the free end of the bolt is rounded.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
FIG. 1 is an exploded drawing of an aiming telescope mounting;
FIG. 2 is a detail of one attachment side of the mounting;

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
An aiming telescope mounting comprises a supporting mechanism 1, which has, for example, bores for mounting it on the weapon. The ends have a first pair of engaging elements 2 and 3. The engaging element 2 has the shape of a truncated cone, and is expanded toward the top and flattened off on a front side. The engaging element 3 has a depression 7 on a face thereof, which extends vertically to the longitudinal direction and points to the engaging element 2. A carrying mechanism 4 is attached, by way of straps 8, to an aiming telescope, and
