Abstract

A pistol includes of a pistol body, a slide and a trigger mechanism which includes: a firing bolt, a horizontal control ramp in the slide, a guide coulisse and a guide finger cooperating with the former, a control spring fastened in the pistol body and deflectable in transverse direction, and a trigger bar hinged to a trigger and cooperating with the control ramp, the guide coulisse and the control spring, the trigger bar having a catch nose retaining the firing bolt lug. To achieve enhanced smooth-running and reproducible precision with a minimum of production costs, the control spring has a disc in its upper end region, the contour of said disc being round in the plane of the trigger bar, and the trigger bar has a substantially vertical catch nose in its rear end region and an oblique rear edge cooperating with said disc.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Pistole mit einem eine Abzugsvorrichtung enthaltenden Pistolenkörper und mit einem einen Lauf und einen Verschluss enthaltenden Laufschlitten, der im Pistolenkörper gegen die Kraft einer Rückholfeder verschiebbar geführt ist.The invention relates to a pistol with a gun containing a trigger device and with a barrel and a shutter containing carriage, which is guided in the gun body against the force of a return spring slidably.

Eine solche Pistole ist aus der US 4 539 889 A , die eine Grundlage für den Anspruch 1 bildet, und in vergleichbarer Weise aus der US 4 825 744 A bekannt, wobei bei dieser bekannten Pistole die Abzugsvorrichtung aus folgenden Komponenten besteht:

  • einer Schlagbolzeneinheit mit einem federbeaufschlagten Schlagbolzen, der eine abwärtsragende Schlagbolzenfahne aufweist;
  • einer horizontalen Steuerrampe im Laufschlitten;
  • einer mit einem unteren Ende im Pistolenkörper befestigten Steuerfeder, deren obere Endregion in Querrichtung auslenkbar ist und die oben in die Bahn der Steuerrampe ragt;
  • einer in einer vertikalen Ebene liegenden Führung, bestehend aus einer Führungskulisse und einem mit ihr zusammenwirkenden Führungsfinger; und
  • einer mit ihrem vorderen Ende an einem Züngel angelenkten Abzugsstange, die in ihrer hinteren Endregion den mit der Führungskulisse zusammenwirkenden Führungsfinger aufweist und mit der Steuerrampe, sowie mit der Steuerfeder zusammenwirkt, und die mittels einer in ihrer hinteren Endregion angeordneten Fangnase auf die Schlagbolzenfahne einwirkt, wobei
    • die Abzugsstange ein vollflächiger Stanzteil ist, und
    • die Abzugsstange in ihrer hinteren Endregion eine mit der Endregion der Steuerfeder zusammenwirkende schräge Hinterkante hat.
Such a pistol is out of the US 4 539 889 A , which forms a basis for claim 1, and in a comparable manner from the US 4,825,744 A known, wherein in this known pistol, the trigger device consists of the following components:
  • a striker assembly having a spring loaded striker having a downwardly projecting striker tab;
  • a horizontal control ramp in the carriage;
  • a control spring mounted with a lower end in the gun body, the upper end region of which is transversely deflectable and which projects up into the path of the control ramp;
  • a guide lying in a vertical plane, consisting of a guide link and a guide finger cooperating therewith; and
  • a hinged with its front end on a tongue trigger rod having in its rear end region cooperating with the guide slot guide fingers and cooperating with the control ramp, as well as with the control spring, and which acts by means of a arranged in its rear end region Fang on the firing pin flag, said
    • the trigger bar is a full-surface punched part, and
    • the trigger bar has in its rear end region an oblique trailing edge cooperating with the end region of the control spring.

Dadurch, dass bei der bekannten Pistole die Führungskulisse in der hinteren Endregion der Abzugsstange ausgestanzt ist, ist diese dort, wo es auf Festigkeit und Präzision ankommt, geschwächt. Die Steuerfeder ist im aus Kunststoff bestehenden Pistolenkörper befestigt und hat an ihrem oberen Ende eine abgekantete ebene Anschlagfläche für das hintere Ende der Abzugsstange. Ihre Lage im Pistolenkörper und die Lage der Anschlagfläche sind somit stark toleranzbehaftet. Vor allem Letzteres ist problematisch, weil davon die Genauigkeit des Abzugs abhängt. Zum Auslösen eines Schusses gleitet das hintere Ende der Abzugsstange an der Anschlagfläche abwärts, wozu überdies die Reibung zwischen diesen beiden Flächen überwunden werden muss. Dadurch streut auch sowohl die Lage des Druckpunktes als auch das Abzugsgewicht; beide sind nicht einstellbar. Die Abzugsstange hat als Fangnase eine sehr weit hinten angeordnete, an einem dünnen horizontalen Steg in die Mitte und in einem spitzen Winkel nach hinten geneigte Zunge, deren mit der Schlagbolzenfahne zusammenwirkende Fläche wegen der Neigung schräg und trotzdem genauestens bearbeitet sein muss. Der spitze Winkel ist durch Abkanten wegen der Rückfederung des Bleches nur sehr schwer einzuhalten. Bei dieser Gestaltung und Anordnung ist die Abzugsstange strukturschwach und nur schwer mit ausreichender Genauigkeit zu fertigen. Die Teile des Abzuges sind insgesamt teuer in der Herstellung und trotzdem durch Toleranzen belastet.The fact that in the known pistol, the guide slot is punched in the rear end region of the trigger bar, this is where it depends on strength and precision, weakened. The control spring is mounted in the gun body made of plastic and has at its upper end a folded flat stop surface for the rear end of the trigger bar. Their position in the gun body and the position of the stop surface are thus heavily toleranced. Especially the latter is problematic, because it depends on the accuracy of the deduction. To trigger a shot slides the rear end of the trigger bar on the stop surface downwards, which, moreover, the friction between these two surfaces must be overcome. As a result, both the position of the pressure point and the trigger weight scatters; both are not adjustable. The trigger bar has as a catch nose a very far back, on a thin horizontal bar in the middle and at an acute angle backward inclined tongue whose interacting with the firing pin flag surface must be processed obliquely and yet accurate because of the inclination. The acute angle is very difficult to follow by folding due to the springback of the sheet. In this design and arrangement, the trigger bar is structurally weak and difficult to manufacture with sufficient accuracy. The parts of the trigger are generally expensive to manufacture and yet loaded by tolerances.

Es ist somit Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Pistole mit einer dahingehend verbesserten Abzugsvorrichtung vorzusehen, dass mit einem Minimum an Fertigungskosten ein Maximum an Leichtgängigkeit und reproduzierbarer Präzision erreicht wird. Weitere Vorteile sind in der Beschreibung erwähnt.It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a pistol with a thus improved trigger device that with a minimum of manufacturing costs a maximum of ease and reproducible precision is achieved. Further advantages are mentioned in the description.

Zur Lösung der gestellten Aufgabe sieht die Erfindung eine Pistole mit den in Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmalen vor. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen und Weiterbildungen sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen angegeben.To achieve the object, the invention provides a gun with the features specified in claim 1. Advantageous embodiments and further developments are specified in the dependent claims.

Die bei dieser Ausbildung an der Steuerfeder vorgesehene Scheibe wird von der schrägen Hinterkante nur längs einer Erzeugenden ihrer Kontur und daher mit wenig Reibung berührt. Die Scheibe lässt sich auf der Steuerfeder sehr genau positionieren. Die vertikale Fangnase kann ohne Abkantung von der Abzugsstange emporragen. So kann das immer etwas ungenaue Abkanten vermieden und die Spitze der Fangnase rechtwinkelig bearbeitet werden. Auch dadurch wird bei gesenkten Fertigungskosten eine erhöhte Präzision erreicht.The disk provided in this embodiment on the control spring is contacted by the oblique trailing edge only along a generatrix of its contour and therefore with little friction. The disc can be positioned very accurately on the control spring. The vertical catch nose can protrude without bevelling from the trigger bar. This avoids the always somewhat inaccurate folding and the tip of the catch nose can be processed at right angles. Also, this increased precision is achieved with reduced manufacturing costs.

Vorzugsweise ist im Inneren des Pistolenkörpers ein aus zwei miteinander verbundenen vertikalen Metallplatten bestehender Funktionsträger eingebaut, in dem die Führungskulisse ausgebildet und die Steuerfeder befestigt ist. Dadurch können die präziseren Teile auch genau in dem metallischen Grundkörper positioniert sein, was ebenfalls der Genauigkeit zugute kommt.Preferably, in the interior of the gun body consisting of two interconnected vertical metal plates existing functional carrier is incorporated, in which the guide slot is formed and the control spring is attached. As a result, the more precise parts can also be positioned precisely in the metallic base body, which also benefits the accuracy.

Eine weitere Erhöhung der Präzision bei gesenkten Fertigungskosten wird gewonnen, wenn die Scheibe eine kreisförmige Kontur hat. Weiters können Abzugsgewicht und Druckpunkt gewählt bzw. sogar verstellt werden, wenn die Scheibe abnehmbar an der Steuerfeder befestigt und austauschbar ist.A further increase in precision with reduced manufacturing costs is obtained if the disc has a circular contour. Furthermore, the trigger weight and pressure point can be selected or even adjusted if the disc is removably attached to the control spring and interchangeable.

Die Erfindung ist besonders vorteilhaft anwendbar, wenn die Schlagbolzeneinheit ein den Schlagbolzen enthaltender Einlegeteil ist, wobei die Schlagbolzenfeder über dem Schlagbolzen angeordnet ist und die Schlagbolzenfahne nahe der Längsmitte der Schlagbolzeneinheit aus dem Einlegeteil abwärts ragt. Durch diese Ausbildung kann die Schlagbolzenfahne weiter vorne am Schlagbolzen angeordnet sein, wodurch die Abzugsstange kürzer ausfällt und die vertikale Lage der Fangnase leichter zu erreichen ist. Wenn nämlich, wie im Stand der Technik üblich, die Schlagfeder den Schlagbolzen umschlingt, muss die Fangnase ganz hinten sein.The invention is particularly advantageously applicable when the firing pin unit is an insert containing the firing pin, the firing pin spring being disposed above the firing pin and the firing pin tab projecting downwardly from the insert near the longitudinal center of the firing pin unit. With this design, the firing pin flag can be placed further forward on the firing pin, whereby the trigger rod is shorter and the vertical position of the catch nose is easier to reach. If, as is customary in the prior art, the striking spring wraps around the firing pin, the catch nose must be at the very back.

Die als vollflächiger Stanzteil ausgebildete Abzugsstange weist in der hinteren Region zwei rechtwinkelige Abkantungen mit ungefähr vertikaler Biegekante auf, wobei die erste Abkantung durch einen Lappen verstärkt ist, der von dem Teil der Abzugsstange zwischen den beiden Abkantungen in die Horizontale geklappt ist, und der den Führungsfinger bildet. Die zwei Abkantungen in abwechselnder Richtung geben der Abzugsstange von oben gesehen einen Z-förmigen Verlauf. Dank der Verstärkung kann sie weit in die Mitte ragen, ohne sich unter Last zu verbiegen, was die Steifigkeit erhöht. Der Führungsfinger ist in der Ebene des Lappens und daher mit geringem Aufwand genau herstellbar. Die durch die verstärkte Abzugsstange gewonnene Gestaltungsfreiheit erlaubt auch eine besonders einfache Schlagbolzensicherung: die Abzugsstange hat in ihrer längsmittleren Region eine Kulisse, die mit einer an dem Schlagbolzen angreifenden Haken zusammenwirkt, der so die Abzugssicherung bildet.Trained as a full-area stamped part trigger bar has in the rear region two rectangular bends with approximately vertical bending edge, wherein the first fold is reinforced by a flap, which is folded from the part of the trigger bar between the two folds in the horizontal, and the guide finger forms. The two folds in alternating direction give the trigger bar seen from above a Z-shaped course. Thanks to the reinforcement, it can protrude far into the middle without bending under load, which increases rigidity. The guide finger is in the plane of the flap and therefore with little effort accurately produced. The design freedom gained by the reinforced trigger bar also allows a particularly simple firing pin safety: the trigger rod has in its longitudinal central region a backdrop that interacts with an attacking on the firing pin hook, which forms the trigger guard.

Wenn die Fangnase von dem Teil der Abzugsstange zwischen den beiden Abkantungen aufwärts ragt und mit ihm in einer Ebene liegt, ist die Fangnase durch die Verstärkung gut abgestützt und kann ohne Abkantung, d.h. ohne Maßabweichung, in einer Ebene mit dem zugehörigen Abschnitt der Abzugsstange hergestellt sein.If the catch nose protrudes from the part of the trigger bar between the two folds upwards and lies in a plane with it, the catch nose is well supported by the reinforcement and can be made without a fold, ie without dimensional deviation, in a plane with the associated section of the trigger bar ,

In den Fig. 1, 2 und 3 ist ein Pistolenkörper 1 nur teilweise und mit einer strichpunktierten Kontur angedeutet, ebenso ein Laufschlitten 2, der in Führungen 3 auf den Pistolenkörper 1 verschiebbar ist. Der Laufschlitten 2 enthält im dargestellten Teil einen Verschluss 4 und davor, nicht dargestellt, in der üblichen Weise einen Lauf und eine Rückholfeder. Stellvertretend ist eine geladene Patrone 5 gezeichnet. Weiters ist eine mit 6 angedeutete Abzugsvorrichtung vorhanden, die von einem Züngel 7 aus betätigbar ist.In the Fig. 1, 2 and 3 is a gun body 1 only partially and indicated by a dash-dotted contour, as well as a carriage 2, which is displaceable in guides 3 on the gun body 1. The carriage 2 contains in the illustrated part a closure 4 and before, not shown, in the usual way a barrel and a return spring. Representative is a loaded cartridge 5 drawn. Furthermore, a deduction device indicated with 6 is present, which is actuated by a tongue 7 from.

Im Laufschlitten 2 ist eine insgesamt mit 9 bezeichnete Schlagbolzeneinheit eingelegt und befestigt, in deren Hohlraum 13 ein Schlagbolzen 10 aufgenommen ist. Der Schlagbolzen 10 hat eine nach unten aus der Schlagbolzeneinheit 9 herausragende Schlagbolzenfahne 12, deren vordere Kante relativ weit vorne liegt. Über dem Körper des Schlagbolzens 10 ist eine Schlagfeder 11 vorgesehen, die sich hinten an einer Anschlagfläche 15 abstützt und den Schlagbolzen 10 nach vorne zu schleudern bestrebt ist. Die Schlagfeder 11 ist somit exzentrisch angeordnet. In der gezeigten Stellung ist die Pistole gespannt und feuerbereit. Zum Feuern braucht nur mehr das Züngel 7 betätigt zu werden. Schließlich befindet sich im Laufschlitten 2 eine Steuerrampe 17, die mit der Abzugsvorrichtung 6 in noch zu beschreibender Weise zusammenwirkt.In the carriage 2 a designated overall with 9 firing pin unit is inserted and fixed, in the cavity 13, a firing pin 10 is added. The firing pin 10 has a downwardly projecting from the firing pin unit 9 firing pin flag 12, whose front edge is relatively far forward. Over the body of the firing pin 10, a percussion spring 11 is provided, which is supported at the rear on a stop surface 15 and the firing pin 10 to the front to hurl endeavors. The striking spring 11 is thus arranged eccentrically. In the position shown, the gun is cocked and ready to fire. For firing, only the trigger 7 needs to be pressed. Finally, located in the carriage 2, a control ramp 17 which cooperates with the trigger device 6 in a manner to be described.

In dem Pistolenkörper 1, der zeitgemäß ein Kunststoffspritzteil sein kann, ist ein Funktionsträger 20 eingesetzt. Er besteht aus einer linken und einer rechten metallischen Seitenplatte 21, 22, deren oberer Rand abgekantet ist und jeweils eine Führung 3 für den Laufschlitten 2 bildet. Zwischen den beiden Seitenplatten 21, 22 befindet sich ein Verbindungsblock 23, und als weitere Verbindungselemente sind eine Achse 24, um die das Züngel 7 schwenkbar ist, und ein weiterer Stift 37 vorgesehen. So bildet der Funktionsträger 20 eine die wesentlichen Teile der Abzugsvorrichtung 6 enthaltende Einheit, die komplett zusammengebaut in den Pistolenkörper eingesetzt werden kann.In the gun body 1, which may be a plastic injection molded contemporary, a function carrier 20 is used. It consists of a left and a right metallic side plate 21, 22, whose upper edge is folded and each forms a guide 3 for the carriage 2. Between the two side plates 21, 22 there is a connecting block 23, and as further connecting elements, an axis 24 about which the tongue 7 is pivotable, and a further pin 37 are provided. Thus, the function carrier 20 forms a unit containing the essential parts of the trigger device 6, which can be used fully assembled in the gun body.

In der rechten Seitenplatte 22 des Funktionsträgers 20 ist eine fensterförmige Führungskulisse 30 ausgestanzt. Sie besteht aus einem vorderen engen Teil (siehe Fig. 6) und einem hinten daran anschließenden hohen Teil 32. Im Verbindungsblock 23 ist der Fuß einer Steuerfeder 34 fest eingesetzt und eingespannt. Wenn der Verbindungsblock 23 aus Kunststoff besteht, ist er eingespritzt. In Fig. 2 ist die Steuerfeder 34 auch in ihrem ausgelenkten Zustand 34' strichliert angedeutet. In der oberen, frei in Querrichtung schwenkbaren Region der Steuerfeder 34 ist, zur Längssymmetrieebene der Pistole weisend, eine Scheibe 35 befestigt. Sie ist von zylindrischer Gestalt, wobei die Erzeugende des Zylinders normal auf die Ebene der Steuerfeder 34 steht. Die Scheibe 35 kann ein Zylinder mit beliebigem Grundriss sein, ist vorzugsweise aber eine Kreisscheibe. Weiters ist im Funktionsträger 20 eine Abzugsstange 38 angeordnet, die mit ihrer Fangnase 39 ein Vorschnellen des Schlagbolzens 10 verhindert. Auf die Abzugsstange 38 wirkt eine Zugfeder 36, die über einen Stift 37 im Funktionsträger 20 verankert ist und mit ihrem anderen Ende an der Abzugsstange 38 angreift, und diese rückwärts-aufwärts beaufschlagt.In the right side plate 22 of the function carrier 20, a window-shaped guide slot 30 is punched out. It consists of a front narrow part (see Fig. 6 ) and a rear subsequent high part 32. In the connection block 23, the foot of a control spring 34 is firmly inserted and clamped. If the connection block 23 is made of plastic, it is injected. In Fig. 2 is the control spring 34 also indicated in its deflected state 34 'by dashed lines. In the upper, freely transversely pivotable region of the control spring 34, facing the longitudinal plane of symmetry of the gun, a disc 35 is fixed. It is cylindrical in shape with the generatrix of the cylinder normal to the plane of the control spring 34. The disk 35 may be a cylinder of any layout, but is preferably a circular disk. Furthermore, a trigger bar 38 is arranged in the function carrier 20, which prevents a lurching of the firing pin 10 with its catch nose 39. On the trigger bar 38 acts a tension spring 36 which is anchored via a pin 37 in the function carrier 20 and with its other end to the Trigger rod 38 attacks, and this applied backwards-upwards.

In Fig. 5 ist die Abzugsstange 38 allein, einmal von schräg vorne (a)), und einmal von schräg hinten (b)) zu sehen. Sie besteht aus einem einzigen blechernen Stanzteil, das in der Folge mehrfach gefaltet ist. In ihrer vorderen Region hat sie eine Bohrung für einen Stift 41, der sie an das Züngel 7 anbindet. Darauf folgt ein gekröpfter Teil 42, durch den ein Mittelteil 43 (die eigentliche Stange) im Funktionsträger 20 ganz auf der Seite (d.h. unmittelbar neben der rechten Seitenplatte 22) zu liegen kommt. Eine Kulisse 44 für eine Schlagbolzensicherung ist relativ weit vorne durch zweimaliges Abkanten gebildet. Am hinteren Ende des langen Mittelteils 43 ist eine erste und eine zweite Abkantung 45, 46, die entlang ungefähr vertikaler Biegelinien 47, 48 erfolgt. Durch diese beiden Abkantungen 45, 46 entsteht eine in Draufsicht rechtwinkelig Z-förmige Gestalt, wobei der zwischen den beiden Abkantungen 45, 46 gebildete Querteil 49 auch ungefähr vertikal ist. Der Querteil 49 ist eben und bildet in der Ebene nach oben die Fangnase 39 und nach unten einen Haken 50, an dem die Zugfeder 36 angreift. Ein Stück des Querteils 49 ist rechtwinkelig nach vorne gefaltet und bildet einen Lappen 51, der zwei Funktionen erfüllt: Er versteift den Querteil 49 gegen den Mittelteil 43 der Abzugsstange, so dass bei Einwirken einer Druckkraft im Mittelteil 43 der rechte Winkel zwischen diesem und dem Querteil 49 jedenfalls erhalten bleibt. Als zweite Funktion ist der Lappen 51 über den Mittelteil 43 hinaus verlängert und bildet einen Führungsfinger 52, der in die Führungskulisse 30 eingreift. Hinter der zweiten Abkantung 46 befindet sich, parallel zur Symmetrieebene der Pistole, eine in der Fig. 5 dreieckige Endregion 53. Wesentlich an dieser Endregion 53 ist die schräge Hinterkante 40, die in noch zu beschreibender Weise mit der Scheibe 35 zusammenwirkt.In Fig. 5 is the trigger bar 38 alone, once obliquely from the front (a)), and once from diagonally back (b)) to see. It consists of a single sheet metal punched part, which is folded several times in the sequence. In its front region, it has a hole for a pin 41, which binds them to the tongue 7. This is followed by a cranked part 42, through which a middle part 43 (the actual bar) in the function carrier 20 comes to lie completely on the side (ie immediately next to the right side plate 22). A backdrop 44 for a firing pin safety is formed relatively far forward by twice folding. At the rear end of the long middle part 43 is a first and a second fold 45, 46, which takes place along approximately vertical bending lines 47, 48. Through these two folds 45, 46 results in a right angle in plan view Z-shaped configuration, wherein the transverse portion 49 formed between the two folds 45, 46 is also approximately vertical. The cross member 49 is flat and forms in the plane up the catch nose 39 and down a hook 50 to which the tension spring 36 engages. A piece of the cross member 49 is folded at right angles and forms a flap 51, which fulfills two functions: It stiffens the cross member 49 against the middle part 43 of the trigger bar, so that upon application of a compressive force in the middle part 43, the right angle between this and the cross member 49 is preserved in any case. As a second function, the tab 51 is extended beyond the middle part 43 and forms a guide finger 52, which engages in the guide slot 30. Behind the second fold 46 is located, parallel to the plane of symmetry of the gun, one in the Fig. 5 Triangular end region 53. Essential to this end region 53 is the oblique trailing edge 40, which cooperates with the disc 35 in a manner to be described.

In den Fig. 1, 2 und 3 ist noch eine allgemein mit 55 bezeichnete Schlagbolzensicherung zu erkennen. Sie wird von der Kulisse 44 auf der Abzugsstange 38 betätigt. Diese Abzugsstange 38 wirkt nämlich mit einer Rampe 57 zusammen, die sich nach oben in einem Haken 59 fortsetzt, der an einer Blattfeder 58 außen an der Schlagbolzeneinheit 9 befestigt und in Querrichtung beweglich ist. Bei Bewegen der Abzugsstange 38 wird durch das Zusammenwirken von Kulisse 44 und Rampe 57 der Haken 59 beiseite gedrückt, so dass der Schlagbolzen 10 vorwärts schnellen kann, wenn er in der Folge von der Fangnase 39 freigegeben wird.In the Fig. 1, 2 and 3 is still a generally designated 55 firing pin safety can be seen. It is actuated by the gate 44 on the trigger bar 38. Namely, this trigger bar 38 cooperates with a ramp 57 which continues upward in a hook 59 fixed to a leaf spring 58 on the outside of the firing pin unit 9 and movable transversely. When moving the trigger bar 38 is the interaction of gate 44th and ramp 57, the hook 59 pushed aside so that the firing pin 10 can accelerate forward when released from the catch nose 39 in the sequence.

In der in den Fig. 1 bis 4 gezeigten Stellung ist die Waffe gespannt und schussbereit. Die Abzugsstange 38 befindet sich in ihrer oberen Stellung, weil der Führungsfinger 52 im engen Teil 31 der Führungskulisse 30 gehalten ist. Da der enge Teil nur 31 nur gerade so hoch ist wie der Führungsfinger 52, hat die Abzugsstange 38 keine Bewegungsfreiheit in vertikaler Richtung, sie kann nur in horizontaler Richtung verschoben werden. Bei Betätigen des Züngels 7 wird die Abzugsstange 38 horizontal nach hinten verschoben, wobei die in den Figuren 6 bis 9 dargestellte Position erreicht wird.In the in the Fig. 1 to 4 position shown, the weapon is cocked and ready to fire. The trigger bar 38 is in its upper position because the guide finger 52 is held in the narrow part 31 of the guide slot 30. Since the narrow part is only 31 just as high as the guide finger 52, the trigger bar 38 has no freedom of movement in the vertical direction, it can only be moved in the horizontal direction. Upon actuation of the tongue 7, the trigger bar 38 is moved horizontally to the rear, wherein in the FIGS. 6 to 9 shown position is reached.

In Fig. 6 bis 9 wurde die Abzugsstange 38 bereits nach hinten verschoben; dabei hat zunächst die schräge Hinterkante 40 der Abzugsstange 38 die Kontur der Scheibe 35 erreicht. Gleichzeitig hat der Führungsfinger 52 den engen Teil 31 der Führungskulisse 30 verlassen, so dass die Abzugsstange 38 durch das Zusammenwirken der schrägen Hinterkante 40 mit der Scheibe 35 abwärts bewegt wird. Dabei wird auch die Fangnase 39 abgesenkt; der Schlagbolzen 10 kommt frei und schlägt nach vorne auf die Patrone 5.In Fig. 6 to 9 the trigger bar 38 has already been moved backwards; Initially, the oblique trailing edge 40 of the trigger bar 38 has reached the contour of the disc 35. At the same time, the guide finger 52 has left the narrow part 31 of the guide slot 30, so that the trigger bar 38 is moved downwardly by the cooperation of the oblique trailing edge 40 with the disc 35. In this case, the catch nose 39 is lowered; the firing pin 10 comes free and strikes forward on the cartridge. 5

Beim darauffolgenden Rücklauf des Laufschlittens 2 drückt die Steuerrampe 17 (Fig. 7) die Steuerfeder 34 nach außen, wodurch die Hinterkante 40 der Abzugsstange 38 ihre Anlehnung an die Scheibe 35 verliert und von der Zugfeder 36 aufwärts gezogen wird. Wenn dann in einer letzten Bewegungsphase der Laufschlitten 2 wieder nach vorne geht, fängt sich die Schlagstiftfahne 12 wieder an der Fangnase 39 und bewegt diese etwas nach vor; dabei wird der Führungsfinger 52 wieder in den engen Teil der Führungskulisse 30 geschoben und so die Stellung der Fig. 1 bis 3 wieder erreicht.During the subsequent return of the carriage 2, the control ramp 17 ( Fig. 7 ), the control spring 34 to the outside, whereby the trailing edge 40 of the trigger bar 38 loses its attachment to the disc 35 and is pulled by the tension spring 36 upwards. If then in a final phase of movement of the carriage 2 goes forward again, the striking pin 12 catches again on the catch nose 39 and moves it slightly forward; In this case, the guide finger 52 is pushed back into the narrow part of the guide slot 30 and so the position of Fig. 1 to 3 reached again.
