Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a pistol percussion device.
  • pistol firing devices consist of either a hammer producing a shock at the rear of a firing pin whose front end strikes the primer of a chambered round, or a pre-cocked firing pin set in motion by a compressed spring when the weapon is loaded.
  • the spring In the case of pre-cocked firing pins, the spring must be able to store enough energy to ensure a safe strike, while occupying a reduced space, particularly in relation to the longitudinal axis of the pistol.
  • the percussion spring In order to allow a balanced movement of the firing pin, the percussion spring is generally arranged concentrically to the axis of the firing pin, either around it or inside it. The firing pin then serves as a guide for the spring to reduce the risk of buckling during compression.
  • the reliability of the firing device is directly linked to the amount of energy stored in the firing pin spring, and given the constraints mentioned above it is difficult to increase this in the devices of the prior art except to the detriment of the size of the device.
  • WO03/081160 discloses a striker actuated by a single spring arranged laterally and parallel to the striker.
  • the invention relates to a gun according to claim 1.
  • lateral we mean that the axes of the springs are parallel and arranged either above or below, or to the left or right.
  • the at least two springs and the corresponding support surfaces are arranged symmetrically around the axis of the striker.
  • symmetrical we mean in this description any type of symmetry, including rotational symmetries, so that the torques applied by the at least two springs cancel each other out: it may be two springs arranged symmetrically on either side of the axis or rotational symmetry of order 3 (3 springs located on a circle at angles separated by 120°).
  • the present invention relates to a pistol comprising a firing device in which the percussion energy is provided by at least two firing pin springs 4, 6 arranged symmetrically on either side of the axis of the firing pin 20, unlike the prior art where a single spring arranged concentrically to the axis is used.
  • the use of several springs adapted in length and working in parallel allows the use of a lower stiffness to guarantee the same level energy. This is to also reduce the energy required to provide for the "racking" of the weapon (manual recocking).
  • the stiffness of the percussion springs being lower, it is therefore possible to reduce the effort of the recoil spring sized so as to put the slide in battery and tension the percussion springs.
  • the invention thus also allows an improvement in the general ergonomics of the weapon and its service life.
  • the mass of the firing pin is between 1.5 and 6g, preferably between 2 and 3g.
  • the striker comprises at least two symmetrical recesses 13 on either side of its axis 20 to accommodate the at least two springs 4, 6. These recesses make it possible to reduce the total weight of the striker and to reduce the torque generated by each spring by bringing it closer to the axis of the striker.
  • the thrust of the spring is only exerted on part of the stroke of the firing pin.
  • the end of its forward stroke is then carried out without contact with the spring.
  • a weak return spring makes it possible to push the firing pin out of the bottom of the cup.
  • the vertical movement of the cartridge during unlocking can then be done without rubbing on the firing pin and therefore without risking breaking it.
  • the free stroke of the firing pin is generally achieved by adding components, which goes in the direction of increased complexity and an increase in the price of the weapon.
  • the percussion springs 4, 6 after an initial stroke pushed by the springs, the percussion springs 4, 6 no longer press on the firing pin but against a stop surface 22 of a housing in the slide 5 accommodating the firing device of the invention.
  • the firing pin then travels freely from this point.
  • a lightweight firing pin then allows the use of a very weak firing pin return spring and therefore having little impact on the percussion energy stored in the system, the return spring being placed in opposition to the percussion springs.
  • the slide is the most expensive component of the pistol.
  • a significant reduction in its price can be achieved by using a plastic housing that eliminates costly machining operations in the slide.
  • said housing is provided in a casing 24 fixed to the slide 5.
  • said casing 24 is made of polymer while the remainder of the slide is essentially metallic.
  • said striker 1 and said at least two springs 4, 6 are pre-assembled in said housing 24, said springs being held in position by a spring support 21 comprising at least two spring guides inserted inside said springs 4, 6.
  • the striker 1 is preferably guided over its entire travel in a channel 29 formed in the metal part of the slide 5 opening into the bottom of the bowl 23. The guidance is then done via a shaft or rod supporting the striker head 9 in a bore opening into the bottom of the bowl 23.
  • the slide is essentially metallic and the striker 1 comprises a rod supporting the striker head 9 sliding in a cylindrical guide duct for the striker 1 formed in the metal of the slide 5.
  • the pistol further comprises a firing pin safety device integrated into the slide 5, the firing pin 1 comprising a lateral extension 25 comprising two safety lugs 10, 11 and a firing pin safety butterfly 2 arranged on an axis of rotation 27 fixed to the slide and parallel to the axis of translation of the firing pin 20, said safety butterfly 2 being able to rotate in a vertical plane between a firing position and a blocking position, said butterfly 25 comprising two bearing surfaces 17, 18 on which said lugs 10, 11 rest when said butterfly is in the blocking position and two recesses 14 being able to allow said lugs 10, 11 to pass when said butterfly is in the firing position, the center of mass of said butterfly 2 being on its axis of rotation 27 and the axis of rotation 27 being a main axis of inertia of said butterfly.
  • butterfly 2 comprising a lateral extension 25 comprising two safety lugs 10, 11 and a firing pin safety butterfly 2 arranged on an axis of rotation 27 fixed to the slide and parallel to the axis of translation of the firing pin 20, said safety butterfly
  • the butterfly 2 is actuated in rotation by a safety control trigger 30, itself actuated by the firing control chain controlled by a trigger tail.
