Mounting device for silencer

Abstract

A fastening device is provided for fastening a silencer to a firearm, in particular a handgun. The fastening device has a fastening rail, wherein a support surface is formed at the rear end of the fastening rail and wherein a projection is arranged below the support surface, wherein the projection has a contact surface which corresponds at least in sections with an underside of the trigger guard and/or with a transition section between the end face of the trigger guard and the underside of the trigger guard.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A fastening device for fastening a silencer to a handgun, wherein the handgun has a mounting rail and a trigger guard, wherein the fastening device has a fastening rail, wherein the fastening rail is designed
 to be brought into engagement with the mounting rail of the handgun or   to be pushed onto the mounting rail of the handgun,   wherein the fastening rail has a support surface which rests at least in sections on an end face of the trigger guard of the handgun when the fastening device is attached to the handgun, and   wherein a projection is arranged below the support surface, wherein the projection has a contact surface, wherein the contact surface corresponds at least in sections to an underside of the trigger guard and/or to a transition section between the end face of the trigger guard and the underside of the trigger guard, such that the contact surface rests at least in sections flush with the underside of the trigger guard and/or with the transition section of the trigger guard when the fastening device is fastened to the handgun.   
     
     
         2 . The fastening device according to  claim 1 , wherein a first section of the support surface corresponding to the underside of the trigger guard runs largely parallel to the fastening rail. 
     
     
         3 . The fastening device according to  claim 1 , wherein a second section of the contact surface corresponding to the transition section of the trigger guard has a predetermined radius which corresponds to an outer radius of the transition section of the trigger guard. 
     
     
         4 . A fastening device according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the support surface has a convex curvature, and   the end face of the trigger guard is designed as a counter-support surface which corresponds at least in sections to the convexly curved support surface.   
     
     
         5 . A fastening device according to  claim 1 , wherein the support surface of the fastening rail lies largely flush on the end face of the trigger guard when the fastening device is attached to the handgun. 
     
     
         6 . The fastening device according to  claim 1 , wherein two axial wings spaced apart from one another are provided on the support surface and project at least in sections in the axial direction on the support surface. 
     
     
         7 . The fastening device according to  claim 6 , wherein the spacing of the two wings from one another is selected such that the distance substantially corresponds to the width of the front end of the trigger guard, with the result that the front end of the trigger guard substantially form-fittingly engages at least in sections between the two wings when the fastening device is attached to the handgun. 
     
     
         8 . The fastening device according to  claim 1 , wherein two side walls running parallel to one another are arranged on the upper side of the projection, wherein the contact surface runs between the two side walls. 
     
     
         9 . The fastening device according to  claim 8 , wherein the spacing between the two side walls is selected such that it corresponds to the width of the trigger guard and/or wherein the two side walls are designed as guide rails which correspond to guide means on the underside of the trigger guard. 
     
     
         10 . The fastening device according to  claim 1 , wherein the fastening rail and the projection are formed in one piece. 
     
     
         11 . A silencer for a handgun, wherein the silencer comprises a fastening device according to  claim 1 . 
     
     
         12 . The silencer according to  claim 11 , wherein the silencer and the fastening device are formed in one part or in two parts.
