Definitions

  • the invention relates to a trigger mechanism for handguns, in particular pistols, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a trigger mechanism is from the US 5166458 A known.
  • a trigger mechanism is described, wherein the necessary ignition energy is provided by two separate and individually tunable impact springs.
  • One of the two impact springs serves as a biasing spring for storing a biasing energy, while acting as a trigger spring second striker is tensioned by means of the trigger and determines the trigger force or the trigger resistance.
  • the bias of Vorspanrifeder can be done for example by manually pressing the hammer or by the return of a shot as a result of the recoil automatically closing.
  • the trigger spring is stretched by the shooter on the trigger and gives the actual pull-off force.
  • the two impact springs are arranged on separate striker rods below the hammer within the pistol grip piece. For this purpose, a corresponding space must be available.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a trigger mechanism of the type mentioned, which allows a preload function with reduced trigger force in a compact and space-saving design.
  • the biasing spring and the trigger spring are housed in the hammer.
  • a Vorspannabzugssystem is created, which is compact and a low trigger actuating force a Ensures sufficient ignition energy of the entire system.
  • the control of the biasing spring is effected by a control lever which is actuated via the trigger rod and cooperates with the biasing spring for biasing or releasing the biasing force.
  • the trigger spring can be arranged within the biasing spring and to this coaxial in the hammer.
  • the biasing spring are supported on a arranged in the hammer lever biasing spring guide and the trigger spring on a likewise arranged in the hammer trigger trigger guide.
  • the biasing spring is supported in an advantageous manner via a spacer bushing on the biasing spring guide.
  • the biasing spring guide is preferably slidably and rotatably guided in the hammer and has a latching cam for engagement in a latching recess on a locking groove in the hammer on.
  • the control lever in a further constructively expedient embodiment, a slot for the engagement of the locking cam.
  • the control lever is used advantageously not only to control the biasing spring, but can also control the release or blocking of the firing pin.
  • the control lever on a control surface for engagement with a firing pin safety device for the release or blocking of the firing pin.
  • the in FIG. 1 trigger mechanism of a gun shown in perspective comprises a percussive lever 2 rotatably mounted on a percussion lever axis 1, a breaker lever 3 rotatably mounted on the percussion lever axis 1, a control lever 5 rotatably mounted on a percussion lever pin 4, a firing pin 6, a firing pin safety device cooperating with the control lever 5 for releasing or blocking the firing pin 6 and a trigger bar 8, which is hingedly connected at its front end with a trigger 9 and at its rear end with the hammer 2 and the control lever 5 cooperates.
  • the trigger bar 8 is biased by a trigger rod spring 10 to the rear.
  • the hammer 2, a stop 11 is also assigned.
  • the hammer axis 1, the hammer pin 4, the stop 11 and an abutment 12 for the trigger rod spring 8 are arranged in a not shown insert of a handle of the gun.
  • FIG. 1 It can be seen that in the hammer 2 a striker set with a radially outer biasing spring 13 and a coaxial inner trigger spring 14 is housed.
  • the hammer 2 includes a downwardly open blind hole-like recess 15, at the upper closed end 16, the upper ends of the biasing spring 13 and the trigger spring 14 are supported.
  • the lower end of the radially inner trigger spring 14 is supported on a slidably guided within the recess 15 disc-shaped trigger spring guide 17 within the hammer 2.
  • the disk-shaped trigger spring guide 17 in turn sits on the hammer lever 4 laterally offset to the beat lever axis 1.
  • the lower end of the radially outer biasing spring 13 is supported via a spacer sleeve 18 on an inner annular collar 19 a within the recess 14 of the hammer 2 slidably and rotatably guided, sleeve-shaped biasing spring guide 20.
  • the sleeve-shaped biasing spring guide 20 has on its outer side a locking cam 21. This locking cam 21 protrudes through a lateral locking groove 22 of the hammer 2 and engages at the in FIG. 1 illustrated unstrained home position in an arcuate slot 23 of the control lever 5 a.
  • a latching recess 24 is provided for the latching cam 21 on the hammer 2.
  • In the starting position of FIG. 1 is the lower end of the sleeve-shaped biasing spring guide 20 on the disc-shaped trigger spring guide 17.
  • FIG. 1 the trigger mechanism is shown in a completely relaxed starting position.
  • the hammer 2 is vertical, the radially outer biasing spring 13 and the coaxial inner trigger spring 14 are relaxed.
  • the trigger rod spring 10 By the trigger rod spring 10, the trigger bar 8 is pushed to the rear and the trigger 9 forward in the non-actuated starting position.
  • the control lever 5 is pressed by means of the pull rod 8 pulled backwards by the trigger rod spring 10 into a starting position pivoted to the front via a lower lug 25.
  • the hammer 2 is pivoted by the trigger rod 8 to the rear and the biasing spring 13 and the coaxial trigger spring 14 are on the hammer pin 4, on which the trigger spring 14 via the trigger spring guide 17 and the biasing spring supported by the spacer sleeve 18 and the biasing spring guide 20, tensioned.
  • the clamping operation is carried out by the offset relative to the hammer axis 1 arrangement of the hammer bolt 4, which ensures the pivoting of the hammer for a shift of the trigger spring guide 17 and the biasing spring guide 20 and thus for the clamping operation of the biasing spring 13 and the trigger spring 14.
  • the breaker lever 3 by means of the closure, not shown here also to the rear (in FIG. 1 rotated counterclockwise) and controls the trigger bar 8 with a lower control surface 28 down from, so that the control lever 5 is disengaged from the trigger rod 8 and under spring action back into his in FIG. 1 and 3 shown front home position moves.
  • the firing pin safety device 7 designed as a drop rod or drop gate can again move into the lower end position and secure the firing pin 6 against displacement by engagement in the firing pin catch 27.
  • the hammer 2 on the trigger rod 8 back to the according to FIG. 4 pivoted trigger position shown.
  • the radially inner trigger spring 14 is stretched over the exhaust pin guide 4 supported on the trigger lever pin 4.
  • the biasing spring 13 is held under tension by means of the spacer sleeve 18 and the biasing spring guide 20, since this remains over the detent cam 21 held in the detent recess 24 in the cocked position.
  • the trigger rod 8 is disengaged from the hammer 2, so that this initially only under the action of the trigger spring 14 forward (in FIG. 4 in a clockwise direction) moves until the locking cam 21 of the biasing spring guide 20 runs onto a rear surface 29 of the control lever 5.
  • the sleeve-shaped biasing spring guide 20 is rotated about its longitudinal axis, that the locking cam 21 is disengaged from the detent recess 24 on the hammer 2. From this point, the hammer 2 is pressed under the action of the biasing spring 13 and the trigger spring 14 in its front end position for actuating the firing pin 6.
  • the ignition energy required for igniting a cartridge can also be provided with a low pull-off force.
