Description

Technical area

The invention relates to an operating mechanism for a firearm safety device, in particular in the case of rifles that have a stock with a handle, the mechanism comprising a button which can be accessed via a translation transmission] is connected to a trigger lock safety device.

State of the art

Firearms have a safety device that blocks the trigger in order to prevent it from being accidentally actuated and thus an unwanted shot. The fuse is generally controlled with a button that mechanically moves the fuse at least between the “locked” and “unlocked” positions.

Known backup operator mechanisms have various designs and arrangements. Control elements can be located on the breech of the weapon, on the side next to the breech sleeve, they can be slidable or rotatable on the upper side of the stock, transversely displaceable, in the trigger guard, rotatable, arranged on the side of the stock, etc.

A disadvantage of the side controls is poor usability when the firearm is used by right or left-handers. In frequent cases it is also necessary to change the handle of the firearm when trying to bring the safety into one or the other (third) position. A disadvantage of sliding or rotating elements that are located purely on the upper side of the shaft is the considerable space requirement, which makes it difficult to expand the shaft portfolio.

According to the document US4031649 (A ) the safety is controlled with a button on the top of the shaft. The button is permanently pushed up by a spring element into a position in which the firearm is locked. To be able to shoot, the shooter must hold the button in the lower position, in which the weapon is unlocked. This means that the weapon is automatically locked when the button is released. This means that it is an automatic backup.

With the takedown rifle Sauer 202, the control button for the safety is on top of the stock and the weapon is locked by pressing the button. To unlock the rifle, the shooter has to press another button located in the trigger guard.

The aim of the invention is to provide such an operating mechanism for a firearm safety device which does not have the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art.

Disclosure of an invention

Said object is achieved by an operating mechanism of a firearm safety device, in particular in the case of rifles which have a stock with a handle, the mechanism comprising a button which is connected via a translation to a trigger lock safety device, the principle of the invention being that the The button is slidably disposed in a recess extending from top to bottom through the entire shaft handle, the button being accessible both through the upper opening on the top of the shaft handle and through the lower opening on the underside of the shaft handle.

One advantage of the operating mechanism according to the invention for a firearm is the high degree of flexibility in use, both for right-handed and for left-handed handles.

Another advantage is the excellent ease of use, as the elements are within reach without having to change the grip on the firearm just before the shot.

Another advantage is the possibility of controlled operation of the button with two fingers, which are placed simultaneously on the upper and lower end of the button, which prevents undesirable jolts and consequently undesirable noises when the button is moved in the opposite position.

In a preferred embodiment, the button is inclined so that the lower end of the button is closer to the barrel muzzle than the upper end of the button. With such an inclination of the button, the firearm is partially unlocked in the firing direction by pressing the button, which contributes to the intuitive operation of the weapon.

For the above-mentioned intuitive operation of the firearm, it is also advantageous if the translation is adapted in such a way that pressing the button down brings the safety into the unlocked position and pressing the button up brings the safety into the locked position .

The invention is based on an example of a specific embodiment of the operating mechanism according to the invention Firearm safety clarified, shown in the accompanying drawings, with the individual figures showing:

• 1 - An operating mechanism for the firearm safety device in the intermediate position
• 2 - an operating mechanism for the firearm safety device in the "locked" position
• 3rd - an operating mechanism for the firearm safety device in the "unlocked" position

Description of the preferred embodiments

The embodiment of the operating mechanism of the firearm safety 4th of a rifle with a stock grip 6th to 1 and 3rd includes a button 1 sliding in a recess 10 in the shaft of the trigger mechanism 2 is arranged. The recess 10 extends from top to bottom through the entire handle 6th of the shaft.

The button 1 is both through the top opening 8th on the top of the shaft handle 6th as well as through the lower opening 9 on the underside of the shaft handle 6th accessible.

The button 1 is with the fuse 4th connected to the trigger 5 about a translation 3rd to block. In the embodiment shown, there is a translation 3rd from a first-order lever pivotably mounted on a pin. For the person skilled in the art it is obvious that any known mechanism, for example a gearwheel, can be used as a translation 3rd can be used.

In the example shown is the button 1 inclined so that the lower end of the button 1 closer to the muzzle than the top of the button 1 . Of course, any other inclination is possible.

The button 1 comes with a feather 7th pressed to the top and bottom dead center.

When the user pushes the bottom of the button 1 through the lower opening 9 on the underside of the shaft handle 6th presses the button 1 brought to the upper position (see 2 ), where the first order lever is the translation 3rd turns counterclockwise around the pin and the fuse 4th rotates to the “locked” position in which the fuse 4th the trigger 5 blocked.

Conversely, pressing the button has the effect 1 through the top opening 10 down that the lever of the first order of translation 3rd rotates clockwise around the pin and the fuse 4th turns to the "unlocked" position, in which the trigger is free.
