  • Patent number: 5339721
    Abstract: The invention relates to a tripping mechanism for semiautomatic and automatic firearms with a closed-type bolt carriage and which can be used in either a single shot firing mode or an automatic firing mode. The mechanism has a sear 4 slidably fitted on the trigger between the oscillating pivot 5 of the trigger and a resting plane 6a formed on the trigger, away from the pivot. The sear is stressed by a spring 11 which normally pushes it towards the hammer to interact with the latter. The sear 4 is susceptible to movement with the trigger when the trigger is operated and is also susceptible to a longitudinal sliding on the trigger in one direction due to spring 11 and in the opposite direction due to the hammer at least during the engaging in armed position phase, as well as the balancing phase between oscillating pivot 5 and resting plane 6a.

  • Patent number: 4768302
    Abstract: A safety device for an automatic pistol of the double action type includes an automatic safety on the firing pin and has a striking lever for the hammer. The device comprises a cammed shaft, rotatably mounted to a breech block of the pistol and displaceable manually in one direction for control of the lever for disengagement of the hammer. The cam shaft is rotatable in an opposite direction by means of a spring-loaded piston for blocking the shaft in a rest position where it does not interfere with firing of the pistol.

  • Patent number: 4697495
    Abstract: A tripping mechanism is disclosed for the conversion of automatic rifles of the so-called closed-bolt type to rifles of the open-bolt type. The components of the mechanism are premounted within a box-like support which is readily insertable in the trip box of a conventional automatic rifle. The mechanism includes a trigger, a trip block for arresting the bolt carriage in the open, armed position, a connecting rod attached to and displaceable with the trigger and cooperating with the trip block during the disengagement of the bolt carriage from its blocked position, a safety bolt operating also as selector of the firing mode by cooperating with a lever, a lever for engaging the trigger during the automatic, continuous firing mode, and, finally, a safety block for arresting the bolt carriage in the event of accidental disengagement from the trip block.

  • Patent number: 4693169
    Abstract: Disclosed is a control device for controlling the firing modes of portable, automatic weapons, the components of which are mounted on a support box that is insertable into and removable from, as a unit, the tripping box of the weapon. In the tripping box there is enclosed the tripping mechanism for firing the weapon either singly or in an uncontrolled rapid mode. Between the tripping mechanism and the control for the fire mode, there is interposed a safety shaft which functions also as selector for the desired fire mode, so that by selecting the proper mode, it is possible to have a single shots mode, an uncontrolled rapid fire mode or a controlled rapid fire mode.

  • Patent number: 4625443
    Abstract: A four-barrelled pistol is disclosed which comprises a hammer having a rotating, click-action head for successively acting on firing pins corresponding to the four barrels. Particularly, a tripping mechanism is disclosed which controls the hammer of the pistol to allow either a single-action or double action operation. The pistol includes a mechanism for blocking and keeping the hammer in a cocked position when the trigger is at rest and for unblocking it when the trigger has been displaced, and mechanism for displacing the hammer into the cocked position and disengaging it immediately thereafter as a result of the displacement of the trigger.
