Definitions

  • the invention concerns a trigger device for firearms, by the aid of which both single and continuous shots can be made by pressing the same trigger.
  • this trigger device the lock can also be secured in safety position (1) when the lock is cocked, and (2) when the lock has been released.
  • a trigger device in accordance with the invention is provided with a regulator, which being in diiferent positions, gives the above shooting and security conditions.
  • the accompanying drawing shows a method of utilizing the invention applied to a machine pistol, in which the bolt and firing piece of the lock form one piece.
  • the holder or hammer retaining lever 23 of the trigger device is pivoted on the horizontal journal 22.
  • this holder 23 is a vertical bore 24, in which is a loose guide pin 5.
  • Round the guide pin is a spiral spring 14, of which the upper end presses on the holder 23 and the lower end on the ring-shaped i prominence 25 on the guide pin 5.
  • the supporting piece 26 of the guide pin 5 In the stock 17 of the machine pistol is fixed the supporting piece 26 of the guide pin 5.
  • the guide pin 5 fits in such a way, that the ringshaped prominence 25 rests on the bottom of the bore 27, while the point 33 of the guide pin protrudes through the supporting piece 26.
  • the trigger 15 of the pistol is pivoted in the stock 17 on the horizontal pivot 16.
  • the back arm of the releaser rests on the spiral spring 30 on the bottom of the trigger chamber; in the upper branch of the releaser is a tooth 20, which grips the arm 21 of the holder 23.
  • a regulating slide 31 moves longitudinally between the supporting piece 26 and the bottom of the trigger chamber which slide is moved by the 3 handle 1 protruding through the cleft 32 in the bottom of the trigger chamber.
  • On the upper side of the regulating slide 31 is a forward sloping regulating surface 12, in which rests the point 33 of the guide pin.
  • the regulating SllClG 31 is pushed by the handle 1 into centre position in such a that the point 33 of the guide pin 5 sinks into the hole 6 in the re ulating surface 12, and locks the regulating slide 31 in place.
  • the back arm 2 of the regulating slide 31 is thus under the forward arm 1 of the releaser 3, supporting same- In pulling the trigger 15, the pivot 29 of the releaser moves downwards.
  • the upper arm of the releaser 3 draws the holder 23 downwards by the arm 21, in opposition to the effect of the spring 14: of the guide pin.
  • the point 10 of the holder is released from the corresponding corner of the cocked bolt firing pin (not shown in' the drawing); the bolt firing pin springs forward in the usual way from the effect of the firing pin spring, causing the weapon to fire.
  • the releaser 3 receives however a slight circular anti-clockwise movement, as the back arm 2 of the regulating slide 31 holds the front arm 1 of the releaser 3 in place, and the spiral spring 30, which supports the back arm of the releaser 3, gives way.
  • the tooth 20 of the upper arm of the releaser 3 is released from the holder arm 21, whereby the guide pin spring 14 raises the holder 23.
  • the regulating slide 31 In shooting continuous shots, the regulating slide 31 is moved into the extreme front position in such a way, that the point 33 of the guide pin 5 sinks into the hole 7 in the regulating surface 12. Thus the back arm 2" of the regulating slide 31 comes away from under the front arm 1 of the releaser 3, leaving it free.
  • the tooth 20 of the releaser 3 On pulling the trigger 15, the tooth 20 of the releaser 3 is pressed by the effect The tooth 20 in of the supporting spring 30 still more firmly against the holder arm 21.
  • the release-r 3 moves downwards, drawing the point 10 free from the bolt firing pin, whereupon firing takes place.
  • the point 10 cannot come in front of same, unless the trigger be released, thus firing continues automatically as long as the trigger is held.
  • the regulating slide 31 When it is desired to secure the pistol in safety position, the regulating slide 31 is drawn into its extreme back positlon.
  • the point 33 of the guide pin 5 rlses up the slope of the regulating surface 12,-
  • Section 8 of the regulating slide 31 comes under the prominence 9 from moving backwards.
  • a trigger device in accordance with the invention could of course be constructed, differing in detail from the above, but nevertheless covered by the invention.
  • the springs in the trigger device could be plate springs suitably arranged instead of spiral springs.
  • the regulating slide 31 could be constructed as a regulating disk turning on the trigger chamber.
  • a controlling device for firearms CO1 prising a trigger, a hammer retaining lever cooperating with said trigger and means 00-. operating with said lever and trigger for securing the hammer in uncooked position.
  • a controlling device for firearms com prising a trigger, a hammer retaining lever cooperating with said trigger, a reciprocating slide cooperating with said lever and trigger and means upon said slide to operate said firearm with single fire, repeated fire or lock the firearm.
  • a controlling device for firearms comprising a trigger, a hammer retaining lever cooperating with said trigger, a slide, a spring actuated pin slidably mounted in said lever and means upon said slide for moving said pin so as to lock the hammer in uncooked position.
