  • Patent number: 9182184
    Abstract: The invention relates to a magazine for a handgun, comprising a chamber that accommodates the ammunition and a magazine head that is suitable for being accommodated by the magazine shaft in the breechblock housing of the gun, characterized in that according to the invention an ejector plate is arranged on the magazine head and means are provided for changing the relative position of said ejector plate in the magazine shaft when a magazine is inserted. The solution according to the invention makes it possible to change the position of the magazine head in the magazine shaft by means of an adjusting mechanism and thus to also change the relative position of the ejector plate, which is now on the magazine head, in the magazine shaft. In the process, the position of the ejector plate relative to the feeding web of the breechblock generally changes.

  • Patent number: 8950311
    Abstract: This invention relates to a handgun comprising a weapon frame with a grip and a break-barrel unit (11) that can be tilted forward and that is comprised of at least two barrels. A firearm as per the invention provides for a bifunctional or multifunctional hammer unit, comprising at least two hammers (19) that can be moved independently of one another when the firearm is triggered; each hammer impacts only one firing pin (28) in each case of a firing-pin unit (27) comprising at least two firing pins (28, 29) in separated positions, wherein each firing pin is assigned to one barrel of the firearm in each case. A double-barrel or multi-barrel firearm is provided in a compact design in which the hammer unit is cocked with a relatively high amount of spring force with a relatively small amount of existing space. In addition, this invention provides a firearm that has less trigger weight.

  • Patent number: 8689476
    Abstract: A changeover system is provided for a hand gun comprising at least two different barrels, able to be applied exchangeably on a first grip piece of a weapon, for bullets of different caliber, with at least two different magazines for cartridges of different caliber able to be applied exchangeably on a first grip piece of a weapon. Such a system has at least a second grip piece of the same weapon type, provided for a smaller caliber, on which at least one security arrangement against interchange is provided, which prevents the application of a barrel and/or of a magazine of a larger caliber on the grip piece provided for a smaller caliber. The user of a second large-caliber weapon can then mount components of the small-caliber weapon onto the grip piece of the large-caliber weapon, in order to fire small-caliber ammunition therewith, for example for training purposes.

  • Patent number: 8549780
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a safety device for a firearm with a trigger bar in said firearm. The trigger bar moves in response to a pulling of a trigger. An actuator in said firearm is adapted to actively move said trigger bar between a first position and a second position. The trigger bar engages in the trigger induced movement with a hammer link for releasing a hammer and firing a cartridge bullet when the trigger bar is in the first position or first state. However, said trigger bar does not engage in the trigger induced movement with the hammer link, such that the cartridge bullet is not fired, when the trigger bar is in the second position or state.
